Brock Samson MGS3 run?

Inspired by a recent thread where someone unwittingly created Brock Samson in Fallout Tactics.

So far all I have for an idea to play as Brock in a game is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake eater, a hard mode run where Snake wears no shirt/camo is not allowed to use guns at all. I'll have to hoarde grenades and things like poisonous snakes to take out Oscelot and the Pain though, a little unsure how I'm gonna beat them without guns but I'm sure I'll get an idea. If anyone can suggest any creative tactics to take them out that would be great. The rest of the bosses can pretty much be taken down at close range unless I'm forgetting one. Let's see

Oscelot and the Pain will need long range attacks, possibly lots of grenades. I may bump the game down to normal so Snake can carry more.

The shagohod is a machine so RPG rounds and grenades will be fine I guess.

I'm assuming the Fear can be stabbed and kicked around when he drops to the floor, plus claymores may help.

The End is fairly easy to sneak up on.

The Fury is fairly easy to sneak up and stab in the back.

Not sure about Volgin, gonna wing that one and try tabbing him in the spine when he goes to recharge.

The Boss is pretty much designed to be taken down with CQC.

Am I missing anything major? Any good ideas for taking down Osceolot and The Pain without using guns? Knocking them out is fine.


EDIT: Ugh, I'm going to have to use a sniper rifle to take out the C4 on the bridge and find some way of fending off the enemies during the bike chase. I'm not sure about using an RPG launcher during this run but I'll use that as a last resort

    What you need to do is to share your results with the world in the form of a video. Seriously, this is a very good idea for a Let's Play thread. Makes me wish I had a capture card. (But then again, there would be a God Hand LP.)

    I could but I'm a little too busy with other projects and goings on to actually record this or make any promises although my first attempt just then was pretty fun.

    I came up the first guard. "Quick, quiet snap of the neck, he won't feel a thing". After I dealt with that guy I ran down to the area with another 3 guards patrolling and dragged one into the long grass before twisting his neck around, then made my way around the wall to leap out from behind a tree to grab the next guard from behind, dragged him to a secluded spot and interrogated him. He did as he was told so I just choked and knocked him out instead of killing him. Grabbed the last guy from behind, interrogated him but ended up slicing his throat open for calling me a bastard.

    After a sneaking botch up near the rope bridge, I smashed one guards head into the floor, stabbed another in the gut to knock him over then ran headfirst into two gurads whilst taking bullets, slashed one to death then grabbed the next and cut this throat. Finally I ran headfirst into the last guard, knocked him over by slashing at him and then crouched down to stab him as he was getting up, literally jamming the knife up the guy's ass as he stumbled forward in pain clutching his buttocks after my knife attack.

    I haven't played MGS3, but can you pick up enemy weapons? That might be acceptable for boss fights.

    Who's the guy who came up with that "Hotlead is a fun magician" line, as in that he is a magician of fun? Because it applies here.

    Volgin is fairly easy to CQC to death, but I think you're going to have a hard time with The Pain and the Shagohod. And what about the motorbike portion right after?

    Unfortunately, you'll be forced to use a gun in the end anyway.

    Perhaps using the M63 is acceptable? It is a very manly gun.

    Someone said that? Awesome.

    And no, Brock Samson does not use guns. In one of the episodes of the Venture Brothers he completes a firing range with just a knife. I'll try my damned hardest to play Brock style but in some spots as said guns will definatley have to be used such as right at the end of the game in a few spots, but they are more like cutscenes anyway so I think I can discount them since I have no choice.

    Brock Sampson only uses a knife and what God gave him so Im pretty sure gernades would be unacceptable. But this is a really cool idea for a thread.

    The closest I came was making a Rock Lee deck and a Sauske deck in Phantom Dust. The Lee one was a shit load of fun to play and would win occasionally, the other one not so much.

    Hmm, looks like I need to watch more Venture Brothers. Does he say that about using only what god gave him or is that a generalistaion?

    He also uses his car.

    You can't have a car, though.
