MEME Expansion Pacl

Thought it made sense to make its own topic


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.

And another is on the way!
-That's right! KojiPro has also confirmed that another expansion pack is right around the corner. How else does Kojima dress up so lavishly? With your money, that's how!

So glad they have bought back some classic MGO maps. I urge everybody to buy this pack as these maps are quality!

I want ghost factory!

mountain and flamethrower!!

flamethrower on mgo would rock, running after somebody with flamethrower lol.

I desperately want Ghost Factory too. I'm not sure if it would be suited to MGO2 though. Quite a bit of space around the factory so it may just turn in to another VV.

Yes to mountain though! Team sneaking would be awesome on that map.

I forgot about the flamethrower! That was always the easiest way to kill snake on MGO1. I was always getting kicked for hunting Snake down with it

Never really played much of that map, cant remember much about it o.O

It was in MGS3. It's the bit just before you fight the Fury. Top of a mountain/cliff, it has loads of little trenches and there was a helicopter flying overhead in the actual game. You meat Eva at the top and look down on GG together. Then when you come out of the hut there is people looking for you with flamethrowers.

ohhh yeah, where you go thru that red door to meet the fury.

what else do u think they can add?

flamethrower wud be mint, i always think the flame grenades are brill.

Maybe a grapple wire like on Tomb Raider?
Golden Gun - James bond 007 N64?
Turtle shells - Mario Cart?
Guiles Sonic Boom - Street Fighter?

skill that makes u roll like raiden would be cool

Turtle shells lol, that would be the most random thing ever

A 'Worms' style kamikaze attack

Holy grenade from worms would be awesome. Blow massive holes into the map lol

Now there's an idea. A fully interactive map? Grenades and RPG's damaging crates, buildings, walls etc.

be great on BB, blast ur way to bases 5 and 4.

there always a pain in the arse to get to if its the last base to get.
People just camp them >_>

Tuesday night! We must have spent almost the entire game trying to get that last base! Then somebody had the audacity to call us spawn campers, so they went staright on the blacklist.

It's always Beud that joins our base games then just camps to get his kills up. Always wonder why he does that cos he seems pretty good to me.

thats what i was referring too, they were stubborn bastards that night!

I almost said a 'Worms' style air strike so you could wipe out the opposing team but thought it was a bit stupid. Then I watched the trailer for the new MEME expansion pack and Mei Lings special ability appears to be able to call an airstrike!

just saw the video!
cant wait for the croc cap

that afro aswell lol

i do still argue the fact that Forest Firelight is very alike to VV...

wat special abilities does liquid have?

i suppose Mei Ling has permanent E-Locator?

It does look a little similar but it's a much better map as there are less wide open spaces. Doubt there will be too many snipers there. Team sneaking should be a real treat on it.

Liquid appears to be able to SOP destab at any time by pointing his finger and shouting 'bang'. Sounds a bit unfair so I assume he needs loads of DP or something?

Meil Ling seems to have a radar gun that she points around and picks up anyone on SOP. Looks like she can call in airstrikes aswell.

Using these 2 characters could make things interesting. Team work will be a must I think.

Id say it needs drebin points for both of them, i mean you cant go abusing air strikes lol.

Oh I can see it now......

'Fucking air strike noob!!'
