    If, however, Konami plans to turn this into an ongoing spin-off with commercial potential then it needs serious work to either shape it into something outlandish that could only be done online with the Metal Gear series, or to better blend the Metal Gear elements into the established tropes of the multiplayer action genre.

    Metal Gear Online has a lot of potential for an online-only game, but it just seems incomplete at the moment in regards to content.

    Metal Gear Online is offered with Guns of the Patriots, and, being free, most of its flaws can be overlooked. As a game by itself, it would show little argument facing other heavy hitters available on the platform. Eyed as a bonus, it offers enough fun to be worth some time.
