Konami is celebrating the one-year anniversary ofMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriotsin an unusual fashion. Instead of creating commemorative figurines or throwing wild office parties, the publisher is hosting a head-to-head Team DeatmatchMetal Gear Onlinetournament.Awesome.
The tournament won’t net participants prizes, unless you count adulation and bragging rights as something as worthwhile as a toaster oven or LCD TV.
The tournament kicks off on June 26, but Konami will be taking entries as early as June 23. The press release about the tournament stressed that the number of people that can participate will be limited more than twice, so we’re guessing it may be wise to jump register on June 23. Careful though: you need the ‘SCENE’ expansion to participate.
Step 1:Log into MGO with the character you wish to enter into the TournamentStep 2:Go to Lobby Select and choose Tournament RegistrationStep 3:On the Lobby Screen select one of the 4 tournament lobbies to register (i.e. US TOURNEY 1, US TOURNEY 2, etc.)Step 4:Select either Join Team (pick a team off the list to join), Create Team and Submit Entry (set up the team name and password), or Solo Entry (assigned to a random team)
Will any of you participate? Or will you celebrate theMetal Gear Solid 4anniversary in a different way, say, with beer or something? Let us know!
