We recently noted that Konami promised a new Metal Gear announcement each day of this week as a way of celebrating the first anniversary of the release of Metal Gear Solid 4.
The first news is the launch of Metal Gear Solid 4 as part of Sony’s Greatest Hits collection. The Greatest Hits edition of MGS4 just shipped to retail stores across the nation, and you can get it for just $29.99 USD.
The second announcement is the release of new DLC for Metal Gear Online’s SCENE pack. Those who have already downloaded the SCENE pack will have free access to a new map, character, and reward mode.
The new map, Icebound Inferno, is very similar to the “Shadow Moses” map from the first Metal Gear Solid. It’s a medium-to-long range combat map that takes place on a snowy, cold island with various buildings.
There is also an Auto Matching Reward mode that more heavily rewards winners. In an individual match, the winner is the only one who gets rewards points, while in a team match, only the top-ranked team member will win reward points.
