10 Single-Player Video Games With Insanely Underrated Multiplayer Modes

2. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Metal Gear Solid will forever go down to some as the greatest gaming series of all time, thanks to the genius of Hideo Kojima crafting such a crazy and interesting story over the years. In that same breath, many of those fans will tell you Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the best in the series. As done with previous games, an expanded edition was released later called Subsistence, which included for the first time, a competitive Metal Gear experience.

The game featured very small matches, capping out at only eight players, but in doing so it kept that Metal Gear feel alive. Running and gunning was not an effective strategy, most in part to the controls, but instead you had to rely on wit to outsmart the enemy in true Metal Gear style.

Not only was the game true to style, but the highest scoring player on each team was given control of the higher ranking character from the unit they were assigned. For example, the highest scoring member of the GRU unit would take control of Major Raikov or the Ocelot unit would take control of none other than Ocelot himself.

Metal Gear Online was short lived in its Subsistence days, as the servers were only active for just over a year. So unfortunately those who missed out will never get to experience the primitive yet formative years of Metal Gear Online.
