I have yet to see a single mention of MB coins after a good 10+ hours. Maybe that stuff will go live alongside the servers.
C4 works if you put a bunch of them on the road. Use the supply marker if necessary to restock on C4.
That's mission 6. Spoiler heavy.
That mission took me
a full three hours.
It was a glorious experience.
Although I was a little peeved that
Kaz says 'you need a weapon that can track their movement...' so I thought the game was basically saying 'you can only beat them with the Honey Bee'. Wasted 6 of 8 Honeybee shots on the Skulls before realising I could have just been shooting them with my rifle. I got an A grade anyway, but if I'd used my rifle the bonus might have taken me over into S grade...
Well Kaz told me to use it and I did once. I then saw that I only carry 6 rockets and figured running would be a better alternative although I got hit several times

Since there's no preload, you'll need to manually start the download.

You have to manually initiate the download.

Side ops is the best way to level up basically anything you want because it has a variety of saving prisoners, killing/extracting someone and what not.
You should be able to hijack an enemy tank near the middle-end of their travel route. I found it by interrogating people in the village until he gave me the exact location. I used this to destroy the two tanks.
you have to set it to download. whether its on steam, or you can set it to download through your browser as well.

I have Wednesday off. Will pick it up after work tomorrow.
Did you already get the info from the hostage at the bridge base or did you wait until they brought him to the caves? I could only extract him without getting noticed after a savepoint glitched and put the 3 guards that surrounded him in front of him.

That blows my mind. So basically you could just GTFO from that boss fight. Damn nice haha.

It has an incredible persistent tone and feels extremely cohesive.

It's still happening, that countdown timer means nothing.

I can't seem to find a summarized version of this document or what is new to the .82 version of this driver.
Oh that was supposed to be a boss fight? lol.
I didn't check but I guess not using the honey bee is an extra objective?

DEFINITELY!
Happened to me, too!
However you'll still only have completed 1 or 2 of the 6 objectives of the mission (including side objectives). Plenty of reason to replay them again and sandstorms probably won't hit.
Ah cool.
No idea!
... Do you reckon the update blocked anyone with an early copy from playing the game?
Unlikely thoough. Really sorry to hear this man. Can you delete and reinstall without the internet connected so that it doesn't install the update again?

Why does he wear the mask!?
Definitely not

This is a direct sequel to Snake Eater, so it wouldn't be the worst place to jump back in. I'd watch a story summary of Peace Walker (which took place between Snake Eater and this) and you should be able to get most of the story in this.
its never late. and its also never late to replay the game or just play them. they hold up really well imo.
I'm chainsawing off one of my legs if you're wrong bro. You'll have my leg on your conscience for the rest of your life if it doesn't unlock tonight
Question about R&D and development:
I was checking the weapons/items development trees in game and I noticed a lot of blank spaces (not ? or locked ones) are these empty or are placeholders for blueprints / new tech? I'm only at mission 12 but I feel there's not much content to develop
No I missed
him
I remembered seeing the
three guards around him but once I got into the ruins I forgot he even existed
Great mission though, 10/10, will replay
Edit: can I just say
the ruins in Mission 6 are some of the best level design I've ever seen. And it's clear more shit is going to go down there, maybe in a side op.
Not at all, you're in good stead with Snake Eater, but watch Peace Walker's cutscenes too so you've cemented your understanding.
Then begin possibly the best game in the series... TPP
That's disheartening. I feel like for something that costs more than 20 dollars you're going have to wait for ages to get it by only playing the game. Hopefully they changed it after Gamescom.
I was actually down to buy some MB Coins for a few extra FOB playgrounds and expedited development, but at those prices? Unless the cost of new waters has drastically dropped from Gamescom no thank you.
Lol
Fuck this
This is (somewhat) reassuring, thanks. Here's to hoping that it isn't just hiding until after release. I can ignore FOB stuff, and look forward to ignoring whatever becomes of MGO, but a single-player grind informed by a paid consumable currency tends to spoil full priced titles for me.
Edit: $24 worth of MB coins if you want to just buy one FOB base, huh? That seems excessive.

I think I can live with that.
Yeah, do this.
I found a cool 3-hour movie on YT yesterday that blended all of the cutscenes in Peace Walker with some of the important gameplay bits like infiltration and boss fights. It took me all day to watch, taking some breaks, but I'm glad I watched it. It made Ground Zeroes's backstory make a lot more sense too.

Blah, I am working until at least 20:00 tomorrow. Thanks, going to install TW then.
I'll look into that, thanks.
What I really like about this game, is that it is really full of atmosphere. I can't put my finger on it but everything is so well directed and geared together that I already start coming up with theories although I'm just 10 hours in.
Spoiler about what I think is important so far:
Spoiler about what I think is important so far:
Language - Everything is referencing language - from the first quote in the intro to the language specialist you are extracting and listening to tapes about the origin of a word. Snake also supposedly forgot all other languages during his coma and I remember a monologue from Skullface in one trailer about how each new language made him change.
Knowing what you know from the first run through, anything you will do differently (spoiler-free of course)?
I just found a
mortar launcher

So you searched the whole caves for that weapon? Now I don't wonder it took you that long. lol

Is there a way to activate the steam download remotely? I'll probably be at work when it happens. Maybe trough the steam app?
Wait, wasn't this a direct sequel to PW?
Yeah man I just loved exploring the whole level/area. It was glorious level design. Took my damn time with it (even though it was 0030 and I had work at 9)
