I fitted a loudspeaker on my helicopter so when it picks me up it blares out A-Ha's "Take on Me". Stealth.

Does playing music still alert all the guards like in GZ?

Great OT.
The hype for tomorrow is real. I have all day off

That's been there since MGS1.

You could probably cut a really funny gameplay video to that.

So far I've not noticed it making a difference but possibly I guess?
Game sounds awesome but can you clarify this? is it like MGS2 when they have to call the radio first or is it like GZ?
I mean, obviously I didn't think that enemies from all around the bases will come in every alert, but it still sounds like insta-alert of the base if a guard see you.
How do you set the Helicopter speaker music?
About iDroid music alerts:
There's a iDroid update that allows the use of the speaker. I have not tried it yet but I supose that it alerts the guards
Hah I really want to talk about the reason for Quiet's lack of garments that everyone got their panties in a twist about.
I wont cuz spoilers and all that and I daren't go in the spoiler thread because I haven't finished the game yet.
My lips are sealed. But the reason is Kojima level daft.

Impressions at 10 hour point, gameplay only :
I'm the kind of player who restarts checkpoints everytime I eff-up in a Splinter Cell or Hitman section. I'm OCD in that sense in that I love it when things go my way in my pre-planned routes. That applies for previous MGS games as well.
This is the first game that I can think of that I don't do that at all. That's mindblowing to me, personally. Even when I revisit old areas in new missions, I never feel like I'm going through the motions with how dynamic things can be in the moment-to-moment gameplay.

Whats the purpose of that upgrade?
Well yes but not for playing MGS.
Sorry, what?
Could someone elaborate on this? I know about shipping yourself between mother base platforms but there's fast travel in the world?! I don't have to keep going back to ACC?!

They are useless, the major limiting factor for mother base is time, not GMP. Also you can heal yourself in combat.
That's the million dollar question, isn't it?
No problem.
Basically it works like GZ, but with the added level of wherever your spotted only insta-alerting this smaller area. if you're spotted and miss your 1-2 second window to neutralise the enemy then every guard in the area is insta-alerted. And a guard with a radio will call HQ to alert the whole region.
But 'area' is not always the same size or shape.
If you're spotted in a town of 15 buildings and 9 guards, then one shout will insta-alert all of them (just like in GZ.) However, they will have to radio out to other bases to alert the region and get backup.
If you're spotted out on a road in the middle of nowhere, by two guys walking along, then only those two guards insta-alert. There are no other guards nearby to get alerted, too. The alert sounds don't happen, and it's actually only these two guys who are alerted to your presence. Nearby bases etc. will have no idea, until one of those guys radio in. So if guards are isolated enough, getting spotted isn't a biggie as long as you take them out before they finish their radio message.
Basically it's insta-alert by proximity. Only nearby guards get insta-alerted, and this is just like GZ. But unlike GZ, guards in further away bases/outposts won't be alerted until someone radios up to them.

But actually if you were infiltrating a small town
(like the first mission)
So every major place you visit has a shipping area (looks like an orange square on the floor)
Each shipping area has an invoice that you can pick up.
If you have the invoice of you destination you can ship yourself in a cardboard box.
You have to have been to the destination first. (To get the invoice)
To do the major story missions you still have to get a helicopter pick up and go back to the menu.
Sorry its hard to explain. And the game doesn't explain about the shipping thing.
I would imagine most trainers would have a fast-forward cheat for the MB wait times
Which is something I'll definitely use when the wait times start to get longer than two hours.
e: also the invoice stuff sounds amazing
I think it's so you can use to attract guards to you. Kinda like the knock but with longer range. Or maybe it has something to do with the PS4 speaker (I play with a headset so I can't tell).
:O Mind Blown.
Good bye to those 20 min horse rides.

Please be real..... Just so I can DL overnight and play tomorrow.
What the community manager said is in line with that. Could be he's means midnight tomorrow and not today.
According to the discussions on Steam, people are saying the timer on Steam is just the cut off for Pre-purchase, I'll take it all with a large pinch of salt.

Haven't seen the option and I'm playing on Xbox One. hm...
Amazing isn't it.
... But not in an open world where you can drive vehicles, ride horses and ride in helicopters.
I was referring to the idea of getting invoices from different bases to unlock them as fast travel points. Getting in one truck in one place and being skipped to one other linear place is not the same, and that's how it worked in MGS1.
So based on your experience, if Camp Omega were now done with TPP's mechanics, if a guard spotted you in the Admin area, would the east and west camps near the bottom count as part of the insta-alert or would they be in the Radio zone?

You need to buy the loudspeaker upgrade for the helicopter (it's very early on), then go to the song you want in the cassette tapes menu and press Square - it's marked as "Set Helicopter Music"
The excitement is killing me
If it does unlock in 20 minutes, I could probably play for a couple of hours tonight. Urgh, please MAKE IT SO GOD
Fucking up is part of the fun here. Of course I prefer to go stealth, but when things go wrong, you have a ton of awesome lethal weapons in this game to your disposal. And, to be honest, I feel like they are quite forgiving when it comes to ranking your missions. I haven't had a single mission under B rank and I've killed tons of enemies and even did a mission where I was seen multiple times.
I'll just replay everything later for those precious S ranks. This game is way too fun outside of stealth for me to play a "pure stealth" run right away.

Beautiful OT! So I doing a prisoner extraction side op and kinda panicked lol. (Just a small clip from a side op, no spoilers)

Not sure but I thought it was to be able to listen to your cassettes while free roaming as oppose to in the menu.
I've upgraded it now so didn't check if it can be done beforehand.
if it does unlock i still need to VPN into NZ, correct?

Anyone know how to unlock (minor side op name spoiler)
the second legendary gunsmith mission?

I never bought that upgrade and am able to listen to cassettes in free roam.
Wow, that's great to hear. So an area would be a "village" or town. I'll look out for it. I really had no idea whatsoever.

Not really fast travel. Instead of selecting a point where the chopper drops you off you have to go back into your chopper which brings loading times and a small cutscene each time. Then you have to reopen the missie menu and from there u can get dropped off.
ITS NOT FAST TRAVEL AT ALL.
It's on the cassette player menu.
The button has a Speaker Icon and it's disabled before this upgrade.
Now that I think about it, knowing Kojima maybe the speaker settings does have other uses.
A hero's way mild spoiler:
I found a tape with the recording of a soldier shitting his soul out right next to the toilet. Maybe playing this on speaker brings some funny comments or maybe using it while hiding in the toilet makes guards go away?
Thanks dude! See above for my theory about iDroid speaker function.

This is from Friday morning through to nearly 15 minutes ago. And I'm still not done, though I think I've just started the beginning of the end.
