Konami Digital Entertainment announced new details about Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system. The inclusion of online modes in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence has been a long-awaited and much requested feature from fans of the Metal Gear Solid series. In the online mode, players will be able to battle with up to eight people in five different missions including, "Sneaking Mission," "Capture Mission," "Rescue Mission," "Death Match," and "Team Death Match."

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is the newest game in the highly-acclaimed Metal Gear Solid series, created by the world-renowned developer Hideo Kojima. It features the complete smash-hit action game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater&153;, which has sold more than 3,600,000 units worldwide, as well as all-new game modes such as robust online multiplayer gameplay, new duel mode, different camera perspectives, a demo theater mode and the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake games.

Stages from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will appear in Subsistence as well as stages created specifically for the online portion of the game. Some of the new original stages are "Small Forest," "Kill House," "Downtown," "Abolition Factory," and others to be announced.

The realistic combat elements from Metal Gear Solid such as the CQC (close quarter combat) system, intrusion, and shooting will also be faithfully reproduced in the online mode. The player will also be able to select their team from the "Ocelot unit," "GRU," or "KGB" and participate in the online mode. In addition, the player with the best stats will be able to choose Ocelot and other major characters from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as their playable character. All this online functionality will be provided without any fee.
