The second expansion pack for MGO adds two playable special characters: Liquid Ocelot and Mei Ling. Ocelot can manipulate the SOP lock system and can also deactivate the weaponry of others. Mei Ling can "transfix" enemies, and features a Trench Mortar weapon and Soliton Sonar capabilities.
The MEME Expansion also includes three new maps: Silo Sunset, Forest Firefight and Winter Warehouse. Those that don't buy the expansion will see new optional rules, such as the "No Headshot" setting, which disables one-hit KOs from head shots. A new "Interval" mode allows players to practice online with other players, with no effect on their online stats.
The GENE Expansion will be playable next week, on November 25th. However, European gamers will be able to pre-purchase the expansion tomorrow for 7.99 Euro. Update: Americans will be able to get the pack individually for $9.99, or bundled with the MEME Expansion for $14.9

General Informations
MGO is mostly a medium-to-slow paced third person shooter build to let the players take advantage of a lot of tactics other than straight up gun and run. There are 6 games modes and a cap at 16 players. As of the date of this post, your only way in the game is through Metal Gear Solid 4 starter pack.
Controls
Character
You are free to customize the physical appearance of your character, from the voice to the gloves. Just be aware that a single Konami ID can be linked to a single character slot in game and you cannot change the major point of your appearance without resetting all your skills and stats. So choose carefully or pay Konami 7$ to get a second character slot.
Skills
The manifestation of your mighty SOP powers! There are 16 skills to chose from, split roughly into 8 weapons enhancer and 8 supports. Most of the support skills allow you to share information on the battlefield with your teammate giving you a teamplay advantage (usually showing the position of the enemy), while the weapon skills make you reload faster and cut the recoil.
You only have 4 slots to pick skills. As you use them, your skills will level up, making them more potent. However, for the weapon skills, they will start to take more slots. But all is not lost, if you don't feel like losing 3 slots to your lvl.3 sniper rifle skill you can still chose to equip the lvl.2 at the cost of not gaining experience in it anymore. Most support skills will stay at 1 slot no matter the level.
Some skills combo open new abilities for your character.
Equipment
There are 2 sets of weapons and equipment available in the game, with Drebin points on and with Drebin points off. While Dreb.Off carry enough tools to cover all the bases (pistol-smg-assault rifle-sniper-shotgun-grenade) the selection is limited. The game start to shine with Dreb.On with dozens of guns, attachments, ammo, RPG, SOP disruptor and even a shield are available.
Game modes
Six games modes are available for your pleasure:
Deathmatch - Kill each other for a few minutes.
Team Deathmatch - Kill each other for a few minutes or until there are no tickets left for your team.
Capture - Classic capture the flag with a few tricks. You need to bring the flag back to your capture zone and hold it there for 30 seconds and when there are enough players in the server a second flag appear, you need at least one of the flag AND the enemies must have no flag in their capture zone for the timer to start. Naturally, having both flags make the timer drop twice as fast.
Base - Fight for the control of several spawn point across the map.
Sneaking - Introducing a third team (made at random at the start of each round) Old Snake and (when there are enough players) Mk.2. The goal of this team is to knock out or put to sleep the players of the 2 other teams and steal the dogtags of 3 players without dying. Dying reset the dog tag counter. Red and Blue must use that time to kill each other and, when they are bored, hunt Old Snake and his octocamo down. The round end when Snake get his pound of dog tags or when a team kills him 3 times.
Rescue - A team must protect the flag, another team must steal it.
Tips and tricks
Throat Slitting - To be able to do this move you will need to equip Knife lvl.3 and CQC lvl.1 at the same time.
Aiming speed - Do not forget to adjust the speed of the cursor in over-the-shoulder mode in the option... that or get used to people running up to you with a knife.
Dodging - In first person view, use the left and right button on the control pad to make your character lean and, if you are luck, dodge a few headshots.
