Can't believe I'd not got round to the online on this game.
The demo online was absolutely terrible - so terrible that I had given the online a miss - but it is great online. There are some freaks though. I went on one level and these four people were just in the same spot taking turns to strangle and knife each other. Was all a bit homo-erotic.
Then I went on a training level and blew up Solid Snake with a rocket launcher so he kicked me off. Anyway, a message to all those who never gave it a go after the demo.... think again.
The homo-erotic rooms are the CQC training rooms. Great they are. A room full of people who just want to choke you, wake you up, and then choke you again.
Pissing off mods in the training room is always fun.
With regards to the expansion pack, which went live yesterday, the new levels are really really good. Forest Firefight is massive with lots of stealthy woodland places to hide. Winter Warehouse is also a suprisingly big level, and quite hard to hide in, especially outside. Silo Sunset is an actual level from the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops game on the PSP (very well replicated I might add) and I'm warming to it quite quickly.
There's a new mode, which I initially knew nothing about, called Stealth Death Match. Every man for himself. All equipped with stealth camo. You get the picture. To stop it taking too long, the level constricts after a certain amount of time, forcing the players to get closer and eventually kill each other.
The two new characters are in too. I've only been Mei Ling upto now, and she's pretty sh*t!
Revolver Ocelot is meant to be much better!
If you bought the previous expansion pack (then priced £8 odd) you can get this MEME expansion for £6.50. If you didn't buy the GENE expansion, you can get both for £10. Bit shitty on the early birds, but the Johhny Come Lately's always get the better deal!
It's well worth picking up either way!
