Metal Gear Solid 4 will launch on PS3 later this year. In addition, players will be able to enjoy a Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack." Online features support for up to 16 players using "the latest weapons and stealth techniques."

Konami will introduce a pre-order campaign through a nationwide pre-sell promotion will enable gamers to pre-order Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and be guaranteed access to a multiplayer beta test. The beta would occur in late April.

This is a great incentive for fans that already planned on picking up MGS4. We're curious as to see how extensive the "Starter Pack" for Online will be.
