Confirmed: Metal Gear Announcement

Following the recent batch of conspiracy tales surrounding Kojima and MGS, it's refreshing to be able to bring you some facts regarding the game. This time in its online version.

According to Konami the game will be getting:

"Race Mission mode (which) pits two teams of Metal Gear Online players. The Blue Team has to search and protect the KEROTAN target, while the Red Team search and protects the GA-KO target. Each time a team passes a checkpoint with its target in hand, a new checkpoint will be generated. If a team drops its target and is not retrieved within a set period of time, the target's position will be reset and the checkpoint will change. The Race Mission feature is scheduled to go live on May 12th, 2009."

That's not all, there's also "Patriot feature that will pick a few lucky players every week to become 'Patriots'. The selected players will get exclusive access to the 'Patriot' 5.56mm Hand Rifle that has infinite ammunition with no reload. The player will have access to these unique Patriot features until the next ranking update. The Patriot Feature is scheduled to go live on May 26th, 2009."

All good stuff. Now, what about this MGS for Xbox 360 announcement?
