The Japanese publication Famitsu revealed a few tid-bits regarding Konami's upcoming game Metal Gear Solid 3 for the Play Station 2. The game was first announced at E3 just a few weeks ago. Not much was know until now.

The most surprising news is the use of Sony's network adapter. Not much is know regarding the on-line component, however, what is know is that Konami will offer downloads monthly.Things such as new camouflage and clothing were represented in the Famitsu article.

Much of Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place in a jungle, and with that you will have to have Snake climb an occasional tree. Be careful though if you fall from the tree you could break a leg. A level may become increasingly difficult when you're hobbling around and dragging a dead leg behind you.

The Jungle also presents a number of obstacles. Players will have to be aware of there surrounding as they walk through the Jungle. Leaves that have fallen from trees should be avoided as they rustle when stepped upon, alerting enemies of your location. Gamers will also be able to cover up footprints, another way that enemies can track you.

Finally, it's been said that C-Rations (health) are going to be very scarce throughout the game. Snake will have to hunt much of the jungle wildlife for a bite to eat this time around. Once the animal has been killed it must be eaten promptly as it will be subjected to the normal decay process that all meat is subjected to. Hope you're not a vegetarian, no word on Tofu patches.
