I haven't played this myself, but from what I've seen from the first MGO and this MGO, it does to a point. A deathmatch doesn't use as much stealth as the games do, for sure. But, hey, you can hide in a crowd of boxes if you like. And, in the original MGO, there was a mode where one player played as Snake, and all the other players had to find and kill him before he got to his goal. But I don't even know if that mode is in this MGO. Also, it'd be a touch hard to sneak around, because everyone has a 3rd Person view. They can see more than the MGS guards see.
