If you mean Metal Gear Online, then wait for January 16.
If you mean FOB, just progress 'till you are able to get one

You'll unlock your first Fob with mission 22 so just play the main missions until you unlock it

It's not a single player game though.

Those guys just said it was. Advance thru the game till you get to mission 22 and then you unlock a FOB jobby "no idea what that is but must be some online thing" then you can play. I think you suffer from the downs or something. There is no Multiplayer menu at the start up screen. Hence not multiplayer, hence single player.

...What?

You bought a METAL GEAR game just to play multiplayer? I know people liked MGO1 and 2, but those were both alongside singleplayer games - MGS3 and 4 had a lot of focus on singleplayer, though their multiplayer wasn't something to be ignored.

FOBs are unlocked after Op 22, and featured in trailer footage. It's basically a one-on-one match where you infiltrate a person's mini motherbase in order to steal staff, equipment and resources. If you are caught infiltrating an FOB by the AI, the owner is notified if online and may try to defend their base - it will still primarily be against the AI, so if you manage to get through undetected you can avoid confronting the other person.

MGO3 is only coming next January for PC, and is pretty much Metal Gear Online adapted for Phantom Pain's gameplay. You can customise your own character with different gear and voices, create your own loadouts, develop different skills to enable or enhance abilities such as CQC disarming or carrying more weapons at once. There's a Freeroam feature which hasn't really been talked about, as well as multiple modes such as capturing the data disk like in the trailer and team sneaking (one team uses lethal weapons whilst another uses stealth camouflage and non-lethal weapons to sneak towards an objective).

More on MGO3 will be displayed at the Tokyo Game Show, I think. But the fact of the matter is, the MGS series is 'generally' meant to be singleplayer only.

you have only played 8 hours
M2B Sep 16, 2015 @ 12:57pm 
So... you bought a story-oriented game .... to play multiplayer?

The MGS series has just about always been primarily single player, with poor to fair multiplayer in some of them. That being said, Someone tells you exactly how to play online with other people and you respond "so I wasted 50 dollars for playing a single player game". That doesn't even make sense in your argument.

"Can I play online?"
"Yeah, here's how."
"WUDDAYOO MEEN NO ONLINES?"
"Uh, dude, I said you CAN play online, and even told you how."
"I WAISTED MUH FITTY DOLLA!"

Then why did you buy the game? Why buy a game made primarily for singleplayer and story purposes if you wanted to play multiplayer? Maybe you should have waited for Black Ops 3 or something. Please make sure you're more informed next time you buy something.

Oh, and the multiplayer comes in January for PC.
