Konami has announced that the Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence online servers will be shut down in North America on April 2, 2007. Released less than a year ago, it seems the Metal Gear Online community wasn't strong enough to sustain interest from Konami to keep internet-based play up and running.

Still, the MGO user community has started one of those last ditch internet petitions to voice their displeasure to Kojima Productions and Konami about their decision to end the service. Good luck, boys! And thanks for the heads up, Chris. Michael McWhertor
