An online Japanese TPS?

Yeah, that was enough to make me think twice about playing it.
 I thought you weren't playing MGS4 anyway because it'll be like MGS2?

First off, MGS4 is different than MGO.

Second off, I never said I wouldn't play MGS4. I said I wouldn't buy it until I was convinced that Kojima didn't turn it into a pseudo-philosophical shitfest like MGS2.

Am I the only one who thinks COD4 online is extremely overrated? It feels like a next-gen counterstrike in many ways but the grenade spamming is sooo much worse than it was in CS. I also detest the leveling up system, I'm not sure why this game has got so much acclaim for it's multiplayer mode.

I can't wait to try MGO for myself.

@OP: Remember Grozny-Grad from MGS3? It was all brown/grey too. I'm sure there will be some greener levels released with the full version.

Yea, it's just one area from MGS3, which has more than just brown and grey. I think we should wait to assume that MGO is all brown and grey since they've stated that there are going to be many different maps and not just ones from previous games.

 What do you have against games that teach you something? I mean not buy MGS4 just because it's philosophical?

I think everyone expected the most revolutionary multiplayer experience ever, and that it would play like an FPS.

I don't know anyone that expected either.

I'm all for games teaching me something if it's done in a mature manner. I've read stories by third graders that are more well-written, more engaging, and thought-provoking than MGS2.

Do we seriously have to go over this again? I thought we had this issue covered the first three times we argued it. Besides, you lost this argument the second you said that you don't read fiction novels. 1984, Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, those make you think. Shit, I wouldn't even put MGS2 on the same thought level as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. At least that was well-written.

1984 and Brave New World are great books. I hear a movie is coming for the latter. "Orgie porgie, Ford and fun, kiss the girls and make them one." But seriously, Brave New World boils down to not wanting a "Utopian" society that values being content and drugged all the time over free will. There are certainly as many philisophical ideas in every Metal Gear Solid game. Edit: And 1984 is not wanting a Totalitarian government. Big deal. Same story as "V for Vendetta."
