I have seen lot of reviews and opinion for the single player game but i haven't heard very much of the online multiplayer. Is the multiplayer any good? Do you think you will be playing the multiplayer for a long time or will it get old fast?

Whats the good and bad things about MGS multiplayer.

I like it think it's pretty good.

Do I see myself playing in later on? Yeah, I wouldn't see why not, BUT once Socom Confrontation all bets are off jk lol

Guns are cool, pretty much like single player from grapping to knife kills.

Bad thing I don't like is the mic talk, hardly anyone talks. If you have a keyboard, alot will chat back.

The online play is ok. But in my opinion its not that great; there are only 5 different maps and nobody talks on the headsets. Im sure it'll improve eventually, but at the moment im going to stick to call of duty. The story is amazing so its worth buying the game just for that.

It's okay, solid. But the clunky controls make fighting real opponents annoying

It is as good as anything else. There is nothing wrong with it. It would be better if more users had headsets but the gameplay itself is great. You have good maps and and can choose a number of game types like deathmatch and a capturetheflag mode. there is also a mode where one player goes snake and has to take dog tags from the players on the 2 other sides who look to find snake, in this mode snake can use his octocamo to hide. the other player objectives is to find the player who is snake and also kill the other team of players.

There are tons of players online and i am sure there will be more maps and stuff on the way.

I thought that it was OK but it is not going to drag me away from CoD4 thats for sure. Personally I just prefer the 1st person shooter type of game instead of the 3rd person type. it looks good but all that sneaking around just does my head in :)

it's pretty good. it'll probably keep me on my PS3 for a while from now. just make sure you have a keyboard for communicating, as no one speaks through headsets.

MGO is definety something you either love or hate. I for one really F-ing hate the game, but i can understand why people like it. you really just need to try it for your self.

See that what i wanted to know. I play a lot of COD4 so it sound like i wont play much of MGS online. I dont like the idea of all the sneaking around.

I think am just going to borrow this game from a friend to play the single player and if the online inproves i will but the game when it comes down in price.

The single player alone is more than enough reason to buy MGS4 right now. Incredible game that deserves to be in every gamers' library. The online is just a plus and it's pretty good imo.

I found it to be too slow. I am too used to running around killing in COD4. I don't like the sneaking around business online

Metal Gear Online is a shambles ... lets be honest..

its neither stealth nor action ......

It hasn't been laggy for me once ... I just think it's ridiculously boring

especially after playing Single player

Like what's been said above, it's solid, nothing special, but you will occasionally have an urge to play it, well I definitely do. The sneaking game mode is the only one I really enjoy, but I rarely get a game of it.

that doesnt make sense...

if you say there is no stealth or action are you not playing the game? try using the box and looking around corners, what other game can you do this? thats only scratching the surface, i use play dead as well. i dont know how you find it boring.

i dont know what people are talking about with mics too. i see plenty of ppl with mics, its complicated to get them on at first so maybe in the next update if they fix that more ppl will use them cus i get messages with ppl asking me how to turn it on cus they hear me.

btw the online mode is great, way more tactical than many games out there. it has pulled me away from cod4, i think ill be playing it way more than cod4 now especially since i finished 10th prestige and everyone plays private match and learns the noobtube spots for every map now...

I've gone matches w/o hearing anyone talk at all.

I wouldn't say the game is boring, but we basically got an extended beta version. It just doesn't feel like a finished product to me. It's fun but it can't compare to real online shooters, like Warhawk, CoD4, RsV2, etc..

I enjoy MGO, its fun and being a fan of the MGS series, i will surely spend many time online playing the game...

However MGSIV is simply amazing, am already playing through the SP a 2nd time :)
