Last year you guys may remember a website called yongsubsong.com (no relation to YongYea) uploading some concept art and a video that has since been removed regarding MGSV:TPP and the idroid.
The owner of the website is attatched to Kyle Cooper and his team who are responsible for designing things like The Phantom Pain's logo and the GUI design of the idroid, perhaps even a new title sequence for The Phantom Pain as it was Kyle Cooper who made the intros for MGS2 and MGS3 as well as films like Se7en.
But more to the point, an anonymous user that posts on 4chan's Metal Gear General threads has discovered something that it seems was overlooked in that idroid video until now. Even though the video has been removed, you can watch it again here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Eic5oxPhY) and if you freeze frame between 0:15 and 0:16 you'll notice it shows the command Order - Helicopter, Buddy, with a third feature we haven't seen before to call "Co-Op Player". If you can't see it yourself there is a clearer screenshot here
To add even more credibility to this finding, it follows an earlier discovery by another anon who found that the "security" and "union" files dug from the Ground Zeroes PC Mother Base code ALSO matches with features found in the same video from the YongSub website:
He also speculates based on that screenshot that we may get more than one mother base, but that's another can of worms.
There's always a chance this was a feature that got scrapped during development or something, but considering Kojima has talked before about being able to walk around your friend's motherbase and share resources with them, along with invasions and AI buddies it just makes sense for this feature to return from Peace Walker. Also I believe this video actually came out before the TGS video where we saw the "buddy" command in action for the first time, but I may be mistaken.
Everything is basically already there other than actual confirmation that we can tackle missions together with friends, which may be the next "feature" they show in a gameplay demo. If not, I at least thought it was worth sharing to the wider MGS community as i've never seen anyone point this out before and would hate for it to go unnoticed.
