2:46:30 a.m. -- The demo is done.
 
2:46 a.m. --Snake is actually working with some characters now, presumably the side Kojima decided to support for the demo.
 
2:45 a.m. -- Now he's showing Snake throwing grenades at enemy forces. And now using a machine gun.
 
2:43 a.m. --Now Snake can use the Mark II whenever he wants. Snake goes back outside, and there seems to be a war starting. Lots of gunfire between the PMC and the other forces. Kojima makes snake hide behind a car, then call out the Mark II. Snake holds a Sixaxis as you control the Mark II in first person. He leads Mark II to an enemy, then electrocutes him. Kojima then expalins that you can make Snake support either the PFC forces or the other forces if you like. It's up to you.
 
2:30 a.m. -- He shows snake take out a couple of enemies while hiding in a garbage bin. Then, he leads Snake out of the garbage bin. A demo takes over and shows a scene from the original demo with Otacon and the mark ii appearing.
 
2:39 a.m. -- But Kojima makes him feel better by viewing gravure book.
 
 
2:38 a.m. -- After showing a knife fight, he shows snake in a drum can.Snake switches to a drum can, then rolls on the ground to bowl out a couple of enemies. Snake emerges from the drum can dizzy, then throws up.
 
2:37 a.m. -- Now Kojima is showing some combat. Gunplay seems to be handled by Snake appearing on either the left or right side of the screen -- you can switch between the two perspectives.
 
2:34 a.m. -- The PMCs come in, look around, then pass him by. He switches to his regular octo-cam. Kojima shows how it helps him blend into walls and into the floor. He's laying on the floor, camoulauged, and a PMC passes right by him. Snake gets up and surprises the guy, then takes his weapon.
 
2:31 a.m. -- Psst. It's Greg. Our first batch of images from the event are ready.
 
2:30 a.m. -- The real-time demo has started from behind Snake's back. It switches to solid eye, then zooms in on troops in the distance -- pmc troops. Now, he's putting on statue-cam camouflague to look like a statue. Everyone laughs.

2:59 a.m. -- Closed beta will run 8/20 to 9/3. They will accept applications from 7/24 to 8/6. It's closed beta, limited to 3000 people. Check the Kojima Productions website for more info. The live demo is finished.
 
2:57 a.m. -- Kojima climbs up a ladder (GREG: In the game, people!), kills someone and then jump back down. He also stresses that you can just throw a grenade up there if you want. If you kill an enemy, you can tap into their information system. You're then able to see the enemies -- if you're the blue team, the enemies show up as red.
 
2:55 a.m. -- When you die, you can select your weapon and get thrown back onto the battlefield.
 
2:54 a.m. -- "I can't stress enough how cool this new gameplay system looks," Anoop writes. "You can see your allies totallly far away, even through many walls."
 
2:53 a.m. -- The effect of the characters being blue looks really cool -- they flash blue and black, like they're made of a bunch of blue boxes.
 
2:51 a.m. -- They're set to begin the demo. They have a new system, called -- I think -- the SOKKU system. It allows you to more clearly get information about your ally characters. This system allows you to see the posiiton of your allies, even through walls. They show up as blue figures. You can even see them when they're in the cardboard box.
 
2:50 a.m. -- The basic concept of MGO is hide and seek -- make sure you don't get seen.
 
2:49 a..m. -- MGO will be playable by up to 16 people. Today, they're going to show 6 x 6 -- a total of 12 people.
 
2:48 a.m. --The producer of MGO, Mr. Matsuha, is taking the stage.
 
2:47 a.m. -- Now, they're going to introduce Metal Gear Online.
