I’m still hyped about this MotherBase/FOB mode. Holy crap.
…and about the ability to have friends help you defend your base: ORLY? So I assume this means that I can have my
friends & I completely steamroll another unsuspecting FOB? Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhh. LOL
[details=Spoiler]Q: So you can fight with your friend to defend his FOB? (@ThatMightyGuy)
A: Not at the same time, there is no co-op but you can fight in place of them to defend his/her base.
Is the Motherbase/FOB platform architecture randomly generated when you build a new one, or can you manually design each platform? (@Android_LJ)
What you can decide is the placement of your defenses and to what level you want each area covered. This includes how many soldiers, security devices, or high-powered weapons are available in each area.
Follow-up: So will all FOB/Motherbase platforms have the same construction layout? Will every FOB I invade look the same?
Because players will develop their FOBs at their own rate and customize them, no, they won’t look the same. But the platforms themselves have similar architecture across the community.
What other things can we do at Motherbase as far as choices go? (@YanNeppy)
Train and do some target practice, take showers, and explore as well as talk and fight with fellow Diamond Dogs. There’s even more to do throughout your base but we want you to look forward to finding out for yourself 9/1.
What online features are tied to the PS Plus service on PS4? (@Jormungandblood)
To play online, you’ll need to have PS Plus subscription for PS4 and Xbox Live Gold for Xbox One/Xbox 360. This includes Forward Operating Bases and Metal Gear Online. Additionally, FOBs can be developed and your base defenses can be customized while you’re offline.
Will the microtransactions impede gameflow with timers or is it limited to camo and skins for online purposes? (@Ninja7emon)
No additional purchases need to be made to complete or build anything in the game, however you can use MB coins to speed up development as well as within the FOB system.
Normally games get delayed, it is rare for a game to come early. Any reason behind the PC version coming earlier? (@Adnan_Ahmed)
Feedback from PC users was powerful enough to convince us we need to bring this game to all platforms 9/1.

Some commonly asked questions on MGSV have been answered.
If there’s any threat to my productivity to finishing this damn novel and a few freelance projects, this game is it.
I will most likely hold off until October to pick it up, just because I need to be distraction free until then. Also, I can get someone to buy me a new graphics card as a birthday present. I’ll be all up IN DAT BASE.
Gonna have to hide away from this thread soon to avoid any more story spoilers, little bummed out I know so much already. If anybody is picking it up on the PS4 my PSN ID is daFRZT, UK player though
So you can’t actually 2 on 1 for infiltration/defense for a FOB? But only in place of the one would normally be
attacking/defending? That’s…interesting. So kind of like recruiting your friends lists as an army almost like what
you’re doing in the game? LoL Whoa, mmmkay.
Right. Not long to go, gonna filter as much upcoming content that’s gonna get revealed as possible. There’s a channel I’ve been using since…uh, hell 2011ish I think? It covers all the news updates on MGSV and has some super good in-depth analysis videos of all of the trailers that have released so far. If anybody has some time spare and wants to browse the dudes channel a little, it’s called YongYea.
Anyways hope everyone enjoys the game, I’ll be sure to come and steal all of your resources once I set up an FOB and fulton literally ALL of your infantry. GET @ ME SRK ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
fyi mgo2 didn’t have survival at launch. I forgot when but it was after couple of months. I am sure they are still adding survival. survival made the game lot more fun and civilized without gay rules and weapons restrictions.
