Seems Hideo Kojima is really trying to go out with a bang with his last installment of the Metal Gear Solid series. He is working on an online component with the new one Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots that will apparently ship alongside the game on release. It will apparently cater for up to 16 players online in a hide and seek style.
