Two trillion years ago, before the dinosaurs decided to create Earth, Konami announced Metal Gear Online’s third expansion pack, ‘SCENE.’ The downloadable content won’t be available until March, but that hasn’t stopped me from salivating. In addition to bringing new maps and gear, it is also introducing two very special characters into the multiplayer fold: Vamp and Raiden.
We brought you screens when we reported on the announcement, but now we have video (after the break) of the two characters in action. Raiden is sword batty and Vamp can throw knives. I haven’t the slightest idea how that will translate to the multiplayer experience. I’m hoping if you purchase Vamp, you’ll get special regenerative abilities -- something that I desperately need to survive the hardcore crowd in MGO.
If you’re really excited about this content, you can go to this broken link in March and pre-order ‘SCENE’ with PayPal or your PlayStation Wallet pretend money.
Will I be able to buy the other two expansions with PSN dollars (I live in Brazil and I can't buy via Konami Online , even though the demo was my favorite online experience EVER , so it's a sad story ...And also , Vamp has those knifes that obviously aren't near as good as bullets , but he can do hand to hand battles with Raiden AND is friggin immortal)
If anyone wants a more in depth analysis of what to maybe expect, check it here.
If enough Dtoider's pick up the packs now that they are easier to obtain, maybe we can get some FNF MGO action, or maybe Metal Gear Mondays(as the weekly maintenance time was moved to Tuesday).

RAIDEN IS A TOTAL SCENE-AGER
HE SHOPS AT HOT TOPIC. MY SISTER SAW HIM THERE.
Also, my local Hot Topic has a vampire.
