Metal Gear Online has gained over one million members worldwide since the launch of the service in June 2008, according to Konami officials.

Initially intended to be a standalone release, the game was eventually included as part of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3.

Expanding on the online component of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for the PlayStation 2, the game is a third person team-based shoot ‘em-up featuring the series’ signature stealth elements.

To honor the milestone Konami is launching the Metal Gear Online: Commemorative Campaign. Beginning on November 25th, the campaign will award 10,000 reward points to users who access the game during the promotional period that ends on December 9th. Rewards points can then be used to purchase in-game items.

Additionally, 30 player characters (10 each from Japan, North America and Europe) who access the game during the campaign period will have the chance to win an additional 1,000,000 reward points in a free draw. The Gene and Meme expansion bundle packs will also be sold at the reduced promotional price of $14.99 for the remainder of the year.

Glad this wasn't a standard release.

It woul dnot have made it.

this game is getting so hard, i think there must be some hackers or a bunch of people with the ability to aim at the head in less than 100ms. Other than that is very good, after you pass the konami id, game id part is flawless.

I dont play it online anymore, it was pretty stupid how on the mode i went on(the one with the most people) it took 50 bullets to kill, unless you get a headshot which almost everyone else seemed to get instantly.

Its ok playing online but for me I sometimes have trouble connecting and updating the game can be tough especially with the p2p network.
