MGO - MEME and SCENE Expansions

Post by Space Cowboy »

For those of us who still play MGO. We have two new expansion packs "just around the corner". The first one has some details, while the second has yet to be unveiled.

MEME Expansion

Three New Maps

-A snow map. Could be anything.. I'm hoping it's the Snowfield, but according to my sources it could also be a reused level from Subsistence, if anyone remembers it.

-A forest/jungle map. Not much is said about this new map, besides the color palette resembling Svyatogornyj East.

-A map with a ruin in the middle of it. Have no clue what it is.. TUS is saying it could be Ghost Factory from Subsistence.

A New Character

-Nothing revealed about 'em. Said to have a sweet, awesome, killer ability. Everyone is assuming it's Raiden.. others Liquid Ocelot. I'm actually kind of disapointed that only 1 new character is coming with this next expansion.. But it could be that the other has not been mentioned.

New Features

-Nothing revealed on the new features. But they're are definitely going to be some, and they're supposed to be really awesome.

SCENE Expansion

Nothing revealed about the third expansion pack. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.

when can we expect this???

I am guessing and hoping it will be Raiden...

but it could well be Jonathan or Old Mama Eva... My guess came from the MGO site top image heading... You can see from there the silhouette figures of Raiden, Jonathan, Meryl, Akiba and Old Mama Eva. And we all know Meryl and Akiba are part already of the first expansion...

The shadows you can see on that page are of Meryl, Johnny, Liquid Ocelot, Mei Ling, and Raiden. Jonathon and Big Mama aren't present there. But that doesn't mean that those characters won't be playable in the not too distant future.

I don't understand it either.
And why would player have to create new Game ID with nickname. Why can't i use the PSN account name, just like all the other online games.
Also the MGO shop is shit i think. They should just sell expansion packs and everything in Playstation Store.

I agree. I believe Kojima even admitted to that whole situation being a bad idea from the get go.

But in any case, there's nothing we can do about it so we have to deal. Still, MGO is a free service and they must need some kind of cash to keep the servers up.. and the bright side is, it's not like we're paying to play in the servers.. we're getting more content.

MGS3 servers were free... Konami should have enough free servers lying around to not really have to pay for them... so i mean, theres no excuse! ahaha

You can look at it that way if you want. But I look at it like this: We play for free. No 20 dollar monthly charges. We have the CHOICE to pay for 15 dollar expansions when they're released which enhance the game in many ways, or we're given the choice NOT to pay for the expansions thus keeping the game the way it is. It's our call. So complaining about paying for shit is ridiculous.

Awesome. Thanks for the update, Jack. I guess everyone was wrong about Raiden.

Again, I'll ask, when will it be available?

I just went to the site and there's no option for a meme expansion.
