Metal Gear Online Reward Points Questions??

Question

I had 10 reward points, after playing for like 2 hours. Then I played for like 15 minutes, and got 1000 reward points. But when I got all those points, I did really bad, but when I do really well, like I have the most points out of everybody in the end of a match, and I do 15 matches, exactly like that. Then I look, and I get 10 reward points.

So my question is, how do you get reward points?

Sorry if it doesn't make much sense. It is sort of confusing.

Answer 1

The 1000 reward points was a coincidence. Everyone received that as part of an apology from Konami for their server issues. Although I know you get reward points for paying regular games, I believe it has to do with the time you play and not your skill.

If you want to really earn reward points you have to buy the expansion. There is a survival mode included that takes place over the weekend (1:00PM-1:00AM EST, Fri-Sun), Basically you play a number of games with a team of 5 other people (so games of 6vs6), and you try to keep winning. The first win is 100 points, 2nd 200, etc up to 5 rounds. If you win all 5 rounds you get 500 points for a total of 1500 points. If you lose a round you start back at 0 wins (you get 50 points for participating though). For example, if you win 2 rounds and lose the 3rd, you'd get 350 all together.

Without the expansion it will take a really long time to get reward points. You also get 3 new maps, and Meryl and Johnny for multiplayer (but I honestly haven't tried the new characters yet). The Gene Expansion "PLUS" gives you an extra character slot so you can customize another person. The regular Gene expansion is $12, and I think the Plus is $15.
