"In the latest issue of Dengeki Playstation (a Japanese gaming magazine), Kojima Productions has revealed the MEME Expansion Pack for Metal Gear Online. Details of what this Expansion Pack is set to include can be found below!
Three New Maps
-A snow map. Some people are saying the snowfield where you battle a certain boss in MGS4, others are saying High Ice from MGO Classic.
-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. C'mon, what else could this be besides Ghost Factory from MGO Classic/Plus?
A New Character
-Nothing revealed about 'em. Said to have a sweet, awesome, killer ability (it's Raiden).
New Features
-Once again, nothing revealed. Just promises that these new features will BLOW YOUR MIND AHHHHHHH."
I think the new character is Revolver Ocelot and he uses the Thor weapon (the one that leaves a path of destruction in open areas). Only reason I think that is because I saw him on the 'create game' options menu one day then a few hours later he was quickly removed so they probably put it in by mistake that day.
Hope Ghost Factory makes a return as that was my favourite map on MGO1. I can imagine it being a real bitch for snipers though.

Also, an actual MGS4 update has been patented and is called MGS4 Existence. I imagine this will be like all the MGS1, 2 and 3 updates that we have had previoulsy (things like Snake tales, VR missions etc). Link:
