Hey guys,

Well, here it is. After much toil, I finally finished it. My Metal Gear Solid 20th Anniversary music video tribute. Has MGS4 Spoilers so be warned.

Contains ZERO:

Linkin Park
Missile Surfing
Pants wetting

Spoiler:

Very nice. I give it an A. Shame about the quality, but that's YouTube's fault, not yours.

EDIT: The music cuts are a bit jarring as well. But it's refreshing to hear music that fits and not generic "Metal"

Igort, please add this to the OP:

"The disk change joke was a nod to a similar event in MGS1, as well as pointing out Snake's age and inferiority to the advancing technology. It is not an insult aimed at 360 owners."

Should I spoiler tag it?

Also, would you like me to add your mini Big Boss run guide you posted in the last thread to the OP?

If people think it would be useful I don't mind. I could put quite a bit more work into that though if people wanted, that was just me mentioning the parts I struggled on.

I certainly think it would be useful. I don't have the guts to even attempt a Big Boss run, but your guide certainly made it seem do-able.

Wasn't there rumors going around a while ago about the Metal Gear movie actually going somewhere? Whatever happened to that..

manwiththemachinegun

Yeah, I freely admit to its flaws, visually and with the audio. Thanks for your comments though!
I'm stuck with Windows Movie Maker, so my ability to transition sound is limited.

Just wanted to do my part to send the series off with a bang. :whistle:

I think it's still being worked on. There were rumours that Kojima was spending a lot of time in Hollywood, even after MGS4's music had been completed.

Haha, Italax you show off.

And yeah, they recently attached a writer and possible director for the project. I don't recall his name, but it was the guy who made Equilibrium and Ultraviolet.

So it could be good or bad.

Ahahaha I wondered if anyone would call me on it. It is a cool picture of Big Boss when you get it though!

I hope they did. Hell, I hope they dub his voice over whoever they get to play Snake. It is not Snake if it is not David Hayter's voice. I think it's amazing how much his voice actually plays into my impression of the character.

Naa, they rejected his script. Even though Kojima said it was pretty good.

How do you use the MK. II during briefings? I know you get some masks and iPod songs by tooling around with it but I don't know how.

During mission briefings there's a prompt to hit the select button, which brings up a few onscreen prompts for different buttons you can press. One (L2 I think) will take what's going on in the larger of the two viewers and make it fullscreen. The same button will return it to the multi-view angle, and I believe (could be wrong) square allows you to set the MK II's view as the larger of the two screens. Then hit L2 again and you have MK II's view fullscreen. Toot around the Nomad and you'll be able to pick up a few batteries (over the course of a few briefings, leaving you with 3 total - very handy). You can also get masks by bumping into/shocking characters. It's important to note that the briefing with Campbell doesn't actually appear in the game - you have to access it from the main menu, without going into the actual game.

I think that's actually Triangle. But now I think I might be wrong.

Ah. It was square. Thanks guys. Shocking doesn't work but I rammed everyone I could and I have everyone's but campbells. Are you referring to the mission 1 briefing? I think that is the only one you have to access yourself.

Man....

(act 3)

Spoiler:

Is the tailing mission really random or something, because this time is completely and utterly 200% different from my first runthrough of the game. The guy also seems to be batshit fucking crazy this time, but that's another story altogether

reply to act 3...

Spoiler:

I think there are times he's at-risk for capture, so those times probably depend on the ai routines for the PMCs, who I doubt are 'scripted' to anything beyond patrolling certain areas. It might be a roll of the dice whether or not they happen to look at the guy when he's vulnerable, etc. I think that aside from those variables he walks the same route.

Always been the same for me, personally. Unless I decide to fuck with him for whatever reason (holding him up and searching him gets you an iPod track, as with a random PMC in that area).

Fuck, and jesus how do I even do this on hard. There's patrols every 2 seconds.

Spoiler:

If you are going lethal, Silenced M4 can kill everything in your path without alerting. When you get to the vehicle checkpoints, use Mr. Railgun. If you don't have the railgun though, that may be a problem. That's how I did it on extreme anyway.

Speed Racer

Can you blow up tanks without getting any kills added to your count?

I was trying to go non-lethal... Geeze this is 100x harder than on normal, which is weird because everything else was pretty much pie until this

No you cannot kill people piloting a tank with out it counting as a kill.

I assumed as much, but I figured it was worth confirming.

UnbreakableVow

The bullshit thing about this game is plenty of times you'll go into Alert, get into an area where there's no one around, and your Alert counter won't move at all.

That's some bullshit right there.

any minor hints/tips on fighting

Spoiler:

vamp?

i can kill him (m4 with shotty, or anything) or take out all his psyche (stun knife), but since he's vamp there is no effect

i want to CQC him and use the syringe, but i cant pin him down with cqc

am i on the right track?

It means that someone knew where you went. Your enemy has to lose track of you, not just break eye contact, for the counter to start. That's why you can't just jump inside a cardbaord box after being seen.

You know what was really bullshit, was in my Extrem Game Over if Detected run of MGS2, I'd empty a room down to only one guard, shoot him in the head, and he'd catch me before the bullet got to him. I mean come on.

Kill him, run up to him, and CQC him as he's reviving himself. Then inject 'im.

thanks, it works

i was misusing CQC (by tapping R1 instead of holding it down)

On the subject of that bossfight,

Spoiler:

Does killing him add to your kill count?

He's adorable though.

Spoiler:

After all the killing on the lake, his eyes dart to the left to check Snake is watching and when hes running towards Haven after escaping his Ray and the whole Fox...DIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE thing. He's nothing if not likable as a villain. Hes just happy to live up Big Brothers ideals, not knowing the reasoning behind those ideals.

I'm just saying,

Spoiler:

unlike Big Boss, Ocelot, or Solidus, Liquid's not actually a good guy. He wants to destroy the Patriots, but only so that he can take his place.

Spoiler:

Tell me you didn't like him running away, turning and laughing like its a big game after escaping from Ray after their battle. That redeems him for anything you may consider villainous.

Spoiler:

Yeah...up until he tries to run his brother over with a giant ship.

So where is this Javelin thing I see people talking about sometimes? Is it a bonus unlockable or what?

UnbreakableVow

I got it really late in the game on my first run through.

I don't even remember finding the Javelin, all I know is that I have it. Awkward..
