Question

I've played metal Gear solid 4: guns of the patriots over a friend's house and thought it was brilliant, i want to buy it but i've heard that there's a metal gear online. But wat are the differences, metal gear solid 4 has online already, doesnt it? i dont get it....someone help plz...

Answer 1

Well... the primary difference is that they're not even remotely the same game.  Different storylines, different time periods, different gameplay.

MGS4 is intended first and foremost as a single player game, with optional online feature.  MGO is intended to be played multiplayer and online.

Answer 2

metal gear 4 guns of patriot is way better than metal gear online.

if u want to play a shooting game online the best one is Call of duty 4

Answer 3

MGS4 is the single player sequence from the Metal Gear Saga. You play as Snake blah blah blah you the know the usual stuff =P

There is no online play at all except for camo&music download.

MGO or MGO2 is a spin off from MGS4. The game intended for online play and it is not story based what so ever. The game consist of Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture Mission, Team Sneak, and Sneak (one of the player get to play as Snake and fight in the middle of battle of red team vs blue team).

I guess to make it simple - MGS4 is MGS4 and MGO is more like Call of Duty online =/
