On Thursday, Konami announced that it will release Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for the North American PlayStation 2 this November. The Japanese release will follow one month later in December. According to Konami, the reason for the earlier release in North America is to coincide with the holiday shopping season, beginning Thanksgiving Day. The game was originally planned for a simultaneous worldwide release. Released in September 1998, the first Metal Gear Solid game for the PlayStation has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide to date.

The same article but on Gamespot.co.uk goes on to say that an expected UK release is likely to be spring 2002, obviously to coincide with our major holiday which apparently must be Easter. The UK verion wil be identical to the US version, so why are we, yet again, being made to wait a couple of months whilst some pimply American psycopath is allowed to have some fun???
Dunno myself, but if Konami remember to put my name on a dead soldiers dog tags, I wont mind too much.

I don't doubt that, but the PC is awash with extremely, no, brilliant FPS games.
Operation Flashpoint is fantastic.
A big buggy right now, but still awesome.
A wargame where you can drive/fly anything you can see, and it becomes a mini-sim.
Jumping into a Hind helicopter, loading up your online mates and flying across maps that can take up to 20 mins to cross, flying into a mountain and bailing out at the last second to parachute gently down to earth whist your team-mates curse you for killing them
Or, shoot holes in walls!

Red Faction is supposed to be good.
SR dealt with it, which is fine by me.
He has re-registered as DavidD, but I ain't posting or replying to him.
Yeah...PS2 releases...to be honest, there isn't anything on the horizon that I think "Wow!"
GT3...I like the others..but this is the same really, just nicer. I might get it after a couple of months.
MGS2, oh yes.
I've been far more into my PC lately.
Black and White, Operation Flashpoint, Desperados, Counterstrike...
Commandos 2 today, Train Sim soon...*claps hands*

Thankfully there's plenty of good stuff out between now and then (in my personal opinion) to keep my mind off of the long wait!
By the way, Goaty - glad to see you haven't disappeared completely after that other business!

Hope so.
I really do.
This is about the only PS2 game coming that appeals to me right now.

Hopefully, then, this implies that we (and the rest of the world) will also get the game in December, along with the Japanese.
