Get an in depth look at Metal Gear Online’s, modes, stages and classes

Konami has given us our first in depth look at the online component for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Online. The video is filled with 11-minutes of glorious gameplay, explosions and the soothing announcer's voice. It really is too soothing.

There's a look at in depth character creation, the game's classes, modes and stages. If you don't have enough time to watch it all, I'll give you a brief rundown of it all (minus the character creation, which looks like it could suck you up and never let you go).

The classes are composed of three different types: the well-balanced sniping Scout (support), the heavily-equipped Enforcer (tank), or the stealthy Infiltrator.

Modes:

  • Bounty Hunter: Teams win if the number of enemy team tickets is reduced to zero. Killing or Fultoing an enemy reduces the team tickets by one. Fultoning an enemy increases your team's ticket total by the value of the Fultoned enemy's bounty.
  • Cloak and Dagger: Attackers win by recovering the Data Disc and uploading it at the Evac Point within the time limit. Defenders win by preventing the upload. Attackers are armed with only non-lethal weapons while defenders only have lethal weapons. This is an elimination mission. Once eliminated, you cannot return to the battlefield until the next round.
  • Comm Control: Attackers must capture Comm links to download confidential intel. If the attackers complete the download within the time limit, they are victorious. If the defenders are able to prevent this within the time limit, they are victorious. Comm Links can be captured by staying within the effective range of the Comm Links until they change ownership.

Stages:

  • Jade Forest: African Jungle Outback. Composed of natural jungle and desolate village.
  • Red Fortress: Soviet Military Base in Afghanistan. A hilltop base with a peripheral view of the surrounding desert.
  • Gray Rampart: A dam and its environs. The stage contains two regions on either side of a river, with the dam and bridges connecting them.
  • Amber Station: A gas refinery on a harbor. The stage contains several multi-level structures.
  • Black Sire: The Infamous US military base nine years after the events of Ground Zeroes. It contains a multi-level base with mostly flat and spacious surrounding areas.
