In the online mode, players will be able to battle with up to eight people in five different missions including, "Sneaking Mission," "Capture Mission," "Rescue Mission," "Death Match," and "Team Death Match."

The realistic combat elements from Metal Gear Solid such as the CQC (close quarter combat) system, intrusion, and shooting will also be faithfully reproduced in the online mode. The player will also be able to select their team from the "Ocelot unit," "GRU," or "KGB" and participate in the online mode. In addition, the player with the best stats will be able to choose Ocelot and other major characters from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as their playable character.
