Metal Gear Online is slated to receive its first expansion pack entitled the Gene Expansion. This first expansion in the line of many has already been detailed and users can already get excited over the content set to release. Not only will you receive two new playable characters in Johnny and Meryl, but you'll also see three new maps that include: ""City of Sorrow," "Underground Waterway" and "South American Power Station."

On top of this, they're releasing yet another new game mode that is called "Survival." That's not all though, outside of the addition of female characters, you'll also be given a refreshing new Reward System as well as the ability to purchase the "Gene Expansion Plus" version that will offer you one more character slot.

Currently, no price or release date has been announced. If it happens during the Konami Press Conference next week, we'll be sure to bring you the news live.

    if kojima backs this with new DLC every once in a while this could turn out to be the next "Monster hunter" and will drive ps3 sales

    @bnolan56: i highly doubt that kojima will put this on the psn when he has the MGO shop.......

    Wow. So much for th "extra part" of MGS4. MGO is actually for real. Fans of it will play it for years I suspect. BTW, nothing in this world is free. Get used to it.

    Metal gear online is seriously a fun tactical online shooter, I enjoy it way more then some run and gun fps online shooters.

    meh, im getting tired of mgo, people only want to play TDM, i'm more of a DM person and everytime that comes around, everyone wants to skip it, then most of the time skip SNE also or they just leave. i'm tired of damn TDM, lol

    Well 1, the new socom is not out, and you can't really compare a PS3 to a PS2 game. But actually I still prefer Combined Assault over MGO, although MGO is a game that will keep me playing until the new socom comes outs. Socom beats this game yes, but it is still a fun online game.

    I've been dying to play SOCOM, but I have to admit that that last trailer made it look like poo. It like, looks WORSE every time I see it. All I have to say is, if it's going to look that bad, it BETTER do everything else right. I already know it's only 30 FPS instead of 60. How the heck do you make a shooter 30 FPS?! It's shaping up to be a laggy mess.
