There will usually be one shack per several "rooms", and their effect only spreads to those surrounding "rooms". They're not all over the game, but it's a nice thing to take advantage of when you see one. If you have the explosives.
And to answer my question above, if you bomb an ammo shack, and you later get into a firefight with affected soldiers, they can run out of ammo mid-fight.
The worst thing about the HD collection is it doesn't have the thing where if you talk to para medic about vampire movies then when you get captured in groznyj grad you have a nightmare about vampires that plays like devil may cry

This sounds so much like a dumb internet rumor I love it

Also, blowing up the Hinds will stop them from appearing in some of the later maps. (They're replaced by the flying buckets.)
From what(little) we've seen I was actually getting aboard the Quiet train pretty hard. It's extremley hard to pull off hilariously bad outfits, ESPECIALLY one as bad as Quiet but you can, on occasion(see:Bayonetta).
From what we've seen so far it was looking like they were going to. Quiet's ridiculously bad costume was underplayed by the character acting like a soldier, instead of "HEY LOOK I'M WEARING A BIKINI WITH SOME BELTS, AND ARM THING AND TORN STOCKINGS, BECAUSE YES". She has a neat power set, and that amazing "I'M SUPERMAN NOW" running effect while she's invisible.
But now all I'm going to remember is, "WE WANTED A NAKED SNIPER"....
Sexism aside, Quiet's costume bugs the ever living shit out of me because it's the kind of bikini top a woman would wear for sunbathing and nothing else except moving very, very slowly; turn too quickly and you'd fall right out of that thing. It's just not tactical.
Realism aside, it's the kind of outfit that appeals to a specific mentality and it sexualizes someone who doesn't need to be sexual. There are tons ways to portray women in video games and the blatant titillation thing has been done to death.
My brother finished MGS2 last night and he immediately wanted to watch the MGS3 intro.
He hasn't yet made the connection that this Snake is Big Boss (he assumed this was a prequel just starring a younger Solid Snake). Hasn't done the math that this is literally 45 years before when we just saw Snake and he looks the same age. Even though when the game opened and the date was on the screen I said "1964" to make sure he saw it.
I'm thinking he'll make the connection either when Ocelot shows up or when he loses his eye. But I'm also kind of hoping he stays in the dark all the way up until Lyndon Johnson gives him the rank of Big Boss.
I still like how he went "COLONEL ARE YOU A PATRIOT" as soon as he calls you just outside the President's room.
I also made him use the mic to get Johnny Sasaki's cameo because I figure it'll be fresher in his mind when we get to MGS4.
We also both started singing the Death Note intro death metal theme right after the Colonel freakout where he lists a bunch of Japanese names really fast. For some reason it reminded us both of that. Just both went WHAT'SUPPEOPLE.
Other miscellaneous MGS2 things (it kind of blurred together because he marathoned all the way from after Fatman to the end of the game yesterday)
He died an embarrassing number of times in the tiny bit after Snake takes Emma away and you have to meet them at the Core. Got spotted by the one guard, the cyphers, fell into the pits an incredible number of times.
Right after getting his sword I said "I know what you're thinking and don't attack Snake"
"..."
"Don't do it he'll fuck you up."
Then he saved and he attacked Snake anyway.
Also I noticed for the first time that if in the hallway fight right after that Snake goes to critical health, he'll go into cover and stay in there until you finish clearing up the enemies.
You only fight 5 RAYs on Normal, I was expecting 10. He got the hang of it pretty fast, but I was sure he couldn't keep it up for 10. Fortunately, he didn't have to.
He went "HEY!" when Raiden tossed his dogtags away.
btw Speed, since it's so fresh in my mind, I don't know if that's gonna work for E-Ex but the strategy for the RAYs is basically to just stay in first person and never stop shooting unless you hear the beep of locking-on missiles. Then run off and cartwheel while it's beeping.
You can interrupt the machinegun attack by shooting them in the knees. And of course as with REX, Chaff grenades will prevent missiles from locking on.
Also for Vamp, if you overshoot him and toss an RGB grenade into the water behind him, then immediately correct your aim and shoot him, you can hit him with the second grenade and then have him fall underwater and into the first one you tossed there blowing up. My brother did that on accident twice.
Why would you specifically want a naked sniper
Like why is that a combination that even comes to mind
You know what this story needs? A naked accountant
Fiction is sorely lacking in scantily clad CPAs
Cynically I'd say that it's simply knowing that pathetic otaku will pay money hand over fist for figures, art, etc of a scantily clad sniper. It's just playing to the market.
Scantily clad WW2 battleships rake in cash in Japan.
I'm not sure I want to google 'Scantily clad WW2 battleships' to find out what that's all about.
It's called Kancolle and absolutely do not google it anywhere near your workplace. But there were plenty of UFO machines for products for that game when I was leaving Japan.
Quiet seems like another case of Metal Gear trying to have its cake and eat it too
probably dealing with sexualization while kinda sorta indulging in it, in this case?
that's the impression I'm getting anyhow, based on Kojima's teasing remarks on the matter - and the fact that using mute female characters to make a point about sexism is like, the hammiest thing (so it fits perfectly with the m.o.)

"Food shacks"?
Oh man
Oh man I didn't even know about that.
I must know.

It may have been a tech issue like Renzo says
Or he'll maybe it was a time issue and they couldn't hdify that part before the deadline so they just cut it
Who knows

It's time for something new.

I mean, it's dumbfounding enough that he could have already not made it
I can't count how many times I've followed people playing MGS games for the first time on this forum.
I also made him use the mic to get Johnny Sasaki's cameo because I figure it'll be fresher in his mind when we get to MGS4.

IIRC it was an early tech demo for a game that Konami canned either right before or right after that part was included in Snake Eater
same with mgs2 skateboarding, though that had rights issues too
I thought that quote came from a misleading article.

Congratulations, GG, you have just Rule 34'd my job. I hope you like dayglo chaps and calculators with nipples for buttons.

The increasing number of military anime themed things coincided with Abe's push for less restrictions on Japanese military really skeeved me out.'
it kind of feels like it has some kind of (pop?)cultural context that I'm not familiar with
at all
Maybe it's metaphorical???
It seems like the opposite is happening right now.
i for one am CONSTANTLY regretting my words and deeds
