I haven’t tried it yet, but here are some more details. There will be three new skills with this expansion among other things.

The First of these is CQC (Close Quarters Combat) EX. In order to obtain this skill, you have to execute a CQC maneuver 200 times with CQC Mastery Lv3 equipped. Once you have this skill, your character will automatically counter an opponent’s CQC attack.

You can also gain Toughness, by receiving a knockback, knockdown, or blow away type attack 100 times. Once you have this Skill, your character will be able to endure knockdown attacks and recover time will be decreased.

The third Skill you can gain is Charm, by getting distracted by a magazine 100 times. It’s similar to Mei-Ling’s special skill, where holding the salute pose will have the same distracting effect as a magazine. The salute motion will also change to one of three different exclusive random animations.

The CQC EX skill looks cool, wonder if the counter covers punches and kicks or just grabs. I’m thinking the latter. On the Toughness skill, I assume you need to get hit with explosives or shotgun/rockets. I can see the Toughness skill coming in very handy actually. The Charm skill is funny, lol. But I can see a lot of people getting the rat emblem in the process.

If you play MGO you know about the emblems you “earn” in the game. Now you’ll receive a free in-game t-shirt with that emblem! Plus there are 2 new emblems:

* Fighting Fish (unlock by playing a series of Death matches)
* Arctic Skua (unlock by playing through a series of Solo Capture missions)

So will you be getting the SCENE DLC?

[Update]

I played it for about an hour last night, I love the new expansion so far.

A few small things I noticed:

* The time and date at the top of the menu’s (not during game play itself)
* After a match is shows if you earn points to improve your rank or points taken away from your rank
* During game play it says if you got 3 kills, 5 kills, 3 consecutive head shots etc.
* Not sure if explosives effected the environment before or not. I just saw something last night that seemed to imply it did.
* I thought you could throw knifes with Raiden and Vamp? But I played during a custom match so maybe that was turned off?
* There is a PSN Wallet option in the menu, but it’s disabled at the moment. Maybe it will be updated on Thursday with the store update?

And I tried to CQC someone last night and they already had CQCEX!! Man that’s quick, it resulted in me being thrown to the ground.

This trailer is on the Japanese PlayStation store now. I’d imagine it will be on the other PS Stores later today. Love the trailer, lol. So I guess you can “stun” people as girl now? Maybe that’s a new skill? The new CQC looks cool. Can’t wait to try all this new stuff out!

If any of you need help getting started in MGO let me know. My MGO name is xBerserker.

As fleakitten noted in the shoutbox, Vamp & Raiden are coming to MGO! No details on what special abilities Vamp & Raiden will have in MGO. But it’s a welcome addition! Arriving with the Scene DLC is 3 additional maps: Outer Outlet, Hazard House, and Ravaged Riverfront. All 3 maps look great, I know I’ll be picking this up for sure. I’ll keep coming back to MGO. I got hooked back in the original MGO days.

SCENE will also bring two long awaited, much requested, special characters to MGO – Raiden and Vamp, both with impressive special abilities and offensive power to spare! First is Vamp, knife-expert extraordinaire. You may be able to defeat him once, but that’s no guarantee he won’t be back for more! Second is Raiden, whose appearance belies his extraordinary skill and agility in combat. They are formidable opponents, or one of them can be a great ally to have on your team. Yes, you will indeed be able to have a multiplayer battle between Raiden and Vamp, which is a fun as it looks! More specifics about their abilities will be revealed soon!

For those players that want to get a head start on the action and pre-order SCENE through Metal Gear Online’s in-game shop or Konami’s shop, there’s a special gift in store. Once the pre-order period starts, one week before the release date, all players who pre-order SCENE will receive a special “cardboard man” head gear for free. It should definitely provide ample cover for any bad hair day.

You can purchase the Scene Expansion using your PayPal account or your PlayStation Network Wallet! Is this a sign that integration with PSN is coming? I hope so.

BTW fleakitten mind if I add you to my PSN buddy list? I’m always looking for more MGO players.
