Five Metal Gear Solid Online starter pack maps revealed

Those of you excited for a little teaser into the online world of Metal Gear Solid 4 have finally been given it. We realize that that is pretty much everyone, so that makes this even sweeter. Konami has released on their Japanese website, a screenshot of 5 different maps that will be appearing in the Metal Gear Solid 4 Online starter pack.
Ambush Alley
A corner of a war-shattered town littered with obstacles, its central intersection branching off into side streets.
Gronznyj Grad
The now abandoned weapons factory that housed the Shagohod in Metal Gear Solid 3. Contains open areas offering unobstructed views as well as indoor and rooftop locations.
Midtown Maelstrom
This Middle Eastern battleground features avenues crisscrossed with alleyways.
Urban Ultimatum
Negotiate buildings of varying height in this city under siege.
Blood Bath
A kill house consisting of both surface and underground areas.
As you can see, the majority of these maps look prime for close-quarters combat and will result in a lot of lives being taken and blood being shed. The detail and texture work appears to be promising as well. It's safe to say there will be more maps implemented after release, which means we can obviously expect more than just these five. Fortunately, these 5 look like they'll tide us over for a decent about of time.
Konami has also let it be known that expansion packs that will carry extra maps, characters, and other features will actually be released periodically. The date lineup for these releases will be announced at a later date, but you can expect one to say the least.
We'll keep you up to date as more comes into play.

I've seen a leaked video of the top stage. Close-quarters combat indeed! Also roh_sik in the video it seemed to be right on par with COD4 also adding on the fly weapon adjustments during a match. Better then only being limited to the pre-made classes you put together but are only able to change in the lobby. I can't wait for this.

If you take the already high value of metal gear solid 4 with a great story, long campaign, and lots of replayablility, and then throw in metal gear online with it, you could be playing metal gear for months.

Am I the only one that noticed half of these maps are on the MGS3 online? They are just better looking and slightly bigger now. I'm not complaining, just saying. :)

the levels look great but only 5? umm...i dont think that will tide us over for long. hopefully there will be more at launch but if there isnt then, IN MY OPIONION, thats pretty lame that they under supply us with maps so we get bored of them quicker then expect use to buy more/ the rest.

www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645 This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3! Here is how it works! First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million "free" offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache. You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor's offers, the one I chose was the yahoo success kit, which only cost $1.95! That’s all I have paid so far! Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system. 8 Referrals = New retail 40gb PS3 10 Referrals = New retail 60gb PS3 14 Referrals = New retail 80gb Ps3 and two games YOU CHOSE (includes new releases like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune or Ratchet and Clank Future etc…) Plus many more PS3 offers and others including up to $475 in CASH I have been a member for 3 days and have 10 completed referrals on my account, well on my way to my chosen 14 (Already enough for a 60gb or 40gb PS3). I also have 250 people, who have signed up; if any 4 of them complete an offer I have my Ps3 and two games. It can take up to 3 days for a completed offer to process, so I may have already reached my goal. The company even covers shipping and handling so there is no hidden costs of ANY KIND. This website even has you create an account so you can track your progress the entire way through, and once your package ships, they supply a UPS tracking link. It is extremely user friendly I recommend you research this company online, as they are proven legitimate and not in any way a scam. EGM magazine actually did a story on them 2 years ago to see if they were legit and did in fact get a free system, so they proved it worked! The way it is possible is these sponsor's pay this company money for referring people to them, and using a portion of that money, buy you a PS3 as an incentive for helping them advertise. It is a pretty nice scheme, but it results in me getting something for free so I don't care. This will be my third free thing to get from this company; I have a 360 elite and iPhone for the cost of about 5 dollars. Enjoy your free system, free isn't a bad deal for a great console and a Blu-Ray player! www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645
