    Mgs4 single player was a success, but online is average, it's slow paced, and there are not many options. you should be able to create classes and there needs to be more guns and maps.more game modes would be great too.avoid this game till it has improved and buy battlefield bad company.

    Today we have multiplayer games like CoD4 wich are superb. Then came this, what a dissapointment. MGS4 itself is a great game which deserves all the top rating it have, but this. No. Controls are poor, graphics are boring as are the maps too. And they try to sell this game separetely somewhere. Who would pay for this when you can choose something like CoD4?

    The game itself is probably the best video game I've ever had the pleasure of playing, but the online action is lacking. The drebin points system in online play is a little annoying. You should be able to keep points at the very least so that you could "unlock" other weapons such as in Call of Duty 4 online. It would also be nice to view player stats in the lobby.

Friend invites should be made easier as well. Overall I give it a 7.… Expand

    MGO is subpar. It shines in some areas but fall flat in others.

    Before it was tortured by MAO and little **** that cant play without a switch this was a great online game....... a 9 easy. Now though. Its full of cheats and lag switchers lol i was a level B player and i struggle to get C+ and keep it. If your not level 16 plus you dont stand a chance... not that half the players aquired their grade A- to BB without a switch now days..... so its a 9Before it was tortured by MAO and little **** that cant play without a switch this was a great online game....... a 9 easy.

    A brilliant game youi get for free with "MGS4." What's to complain about? [July 2008, p.64]

    The slower pace might frustrate those used to COD4's adrenaline-soaked battles or Warhawk's arcadey clashes, but it's still a thrill. As a Metal Gear game it works beautifully, capturing the series' essence perfectly. [July 2008, p.108]

    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.
