A second, longer countdown on the Kojima Production website has winded down to zero and the result is a lot juicier than last time. Yes, there's another countdown up now but there's a big fat hint about what the project's going to be.

The teaser site's got that same grassy field in a rain storm picture. However, every minute or so, there's a flash of lightning and the face of Big Boss - protagonist of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater appears. He's sporting a neat little beret that reads "Militaires Sans Frontieres," which means "soldiers without borders" in English.

The next countdown ends in five days. This time around, they've actually given us a reason to be excited.
