Stealth Is Important
While you may be trying to gun down opponents in some multiplayer action, you don’t have to be loud to do so. The radar in Metal Gear Online works by sound, so the more noise you make, the easier you are to locate. Also moving around and firing your weapon makes you stick out like a sore thumb. For the more objective based modes (Cloak and Dagger Rush and Comm Control) this is of the utmost important.
As you play, just keep in mind that this isn’t your typical multiplayer shooter. Use stealth, duck behind cover, hide on top of buildings – whatever you can think of in order to get the drop on your opponents. Even an enemy in a D-Walker is no match for a cunning soldier with nothing but a tranquilizer gun. CQC is also super useful while stealthy, since it’s an easy way to get someone down silently and fulton them out of the match (very funny to watch). Players caught in a choke hold have to mash buttons to escape, which often fails them since they panic. So stay low, move slowly, and steal the lives of your transgressors.
