Metal Gear Solid V's online is broken

Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain is being hailed as the game of the generation, and a fitting end to Hideo Kojima's reign at the helm of the long running franchise. But while the game itself might be a masterpiece, the online mode is something else entirely.

There are two aspects to the online part of MGSV; Metal Gear Online which doesn't arrive until October and an already released Mother Base element. Basically it allows you to create other bases to help bring in additional resources for use in the single player game. It adds a strategic element outside of the main gameplay as these Forward Operating Bases can be attacked by other players, forcing your hero to go into battle against another human.
