MGO Gene Expansion Pack

The version of MGO in MGS4 was said to be the starter pack for the game and we would be able to download expansions for the game. Well about a month after the release of MGS4 we get our first look at the new Gene Expansion for MGO.

The expansion includes 3 maps, 2 new playable characters from MGS4, female characters, survival mode, and a reward system attatched to the new mode. The three maps are Coppertown Conflict, Tombs of Tubes, and Virtuous Vista. More double letter names! As for playable characters, you can now play as Meryl who is a pistol master. She also can revive teammates very quickly, and when people are near her, their psyche will regen quickly. The next two things are self-explanatory. The reward system only occurs in survival mode. Points earned from this mode will allow you to change your character's appearance.

This is a massive expansion. No word on price or date though. But if expansions this big keep popping up, I'm sure MGO will be around for a long time.
