Strengths and weaknesses? How is it Meryl is an expert with a Desert Eagle, but if she holds any other type of handgun she just doesn't know how to use it? It's not strategic, it's just a bad idea.

Limiting someone to certain weapons simply because of the character they choose would be stupid. The last thing people want in multiplayer is limits and disadvantages. Your 110% right on that because lets just say overall snake was the best player in terms of attributes and weapons and such EVERYONE would choose snake and tere will be no need for other characters because they would plain and simply SUCK compared to snake. eg. Raiden |

Just like when people always choose Eddie in Tekken.

Don't even get me started on Tekken.

that wold be cool.....it would also be cool if it were implimented in it's own mini game using the same third person camera we've used. besides, it's just multiplayer, what's wrong with making certain characters better with some weapons than others? like snake has average abilities with every gun but meryl for instance has superb abilities with her desert eagle whereas snake would be really good with the socom. T boss would be really good with the patriot but snake wouldn't. see what i mean?

Meryl wouldn't suck with a Socom but be fantastic with a Desert Eagle, that just plain makes no sense. Let's not bring attributes into the game, it's a lame idea. This isn't an RPG, it's just shoot 'em up multiplayer. |

dude, dumpste, it's definately not just simple shoot 'em up multiplayer. Kojima already confirmed that when playing as the gaurds, the camera will automatically focus on magazines placed on the ground so you can't move for a certain amount of time. This isn't ur average multiplayer just like splinter cell's multiplayer wasn't ur average deathmatch. There's going to be some new concepts in it to keep things from becoming "just shoot 'em up multiplayer". If that were the case why would we waiste our time?

What I'm saying is he isn't going to throw weapon stats in. This isn't a game of Dungeons & Dragons. People as heavily trained as those you are playing with really aren't going to differ when it comes to using weapons.

there should still be a slight differentiation between characters...if character selection becomes possible...what would be the point of playing as other characters if they were all the same?

Appearance differences. To personalize onseself so we can tell you apart from the rest. It would be boring to have everyone running around as a guy with a ski mask and some fatigues on.

duh, but it would be more exiting if after each round the one who's "it" essentially could switch characters and have different moves to go with it, rather than just making it one vs. 10 or 1 v.s 5 guys with shooting. If there was to be real personalization, he'd let us changed characters and even camo.

I don't think it's going to be that complex. We'll probably still be able to change camo, but I doubt he's gonna put in a whole bunch of characters to play as. So far the only confirmed modes are Snake vs 5 soldiers and 3 soldiers vs 3 soldiers

I'll give you syflon filter 2 as an example,
Same weapons and such as in single player but different characters to choose from...
Main characters, boss's and complete randoms like a syflon filter test subject, a monk, old lady,corpse etc.
And that was really fun hours and hours of multiplayer fun especially when you see a walking corpse running around shooting at you.
If MGS3:Subsistance had that it would be mad.
Especially if they had voice overs for each character for when they die and such.
