Konami is celebrating the one-year anniversary of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in an unusual fashion. Instead of creating commemorative figurines or throwing wild office parties, the publisher is hosting a head-to-head Team Deatmatch Metal Gear Online tournament. 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.
Speaking of entry, immediately below is what you have to do in order to sign up (as the press release reads). Take notice the amount of menus. Even tournament entry is hard in MGO.
Step 1: Log into MGO with the character you wish to enter into the Tournament
Step 2: Go to Lobby Select and choose Tournament Registration
Step 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 the Metal Gear Solid 4 anniversary in a different way, say, with beer or something? Let us know!

what is that you say? NO you say? OK
I love me some MGO but when Konami promised us MGS fans announcements all week I didn't expect all of them to be MGO related.
I mean you know the SP part of the game is a year old as well right?
Seriously one of the biggest things fans have been asking for is a trophy patch and it's almost like they are just ignoring us.
Especially with the game just hitting greatest hits adding a trophy patch would just help sales on that and than these new people who bought the game might end up going over to MGO and increasing the amount of users playing it.
thats just my thoughts though
Anyhow...IDK, maybe I'd like to participate if we could get a Dtoid specific team ready. I dun kno doh.
No you can't say that it's against the law.
Sorry
K then, I'll say "sucks to you" instead.
j/k
Unless I play all week with you on MGO.
