I'm laughing a bit too much at this post.


It's a joke

lol i know it sounded like a crazy joke but... you know... this is Metal Gear... and all I see on the OT is Mission 40-50 black bars and then 'f you koji' or 'omfg' insanity

so i'm half expecting something that crazy or absurd haha

 

[super-famicom]

Press the crouch button to stand tall, hold it to lie flat. Even in the box.

LOL, why didn't I think of that. I thought I could only stealth walk in it. Thank you.

 

[Grief.exe]

I guess I need to break out the Phantom Cigar and test out my theory on putting tranquilized soldiers down on a cot to avoid alarms.

 

[J-Rod]

I don't know if this is a regular occurrence or if something specific triggers it, but one time after returning to the ACC, there was a little cutscene where the camera was zoomed in on snake's face and you hear a chilling death scream sort of echo in the background (like it was inside snake's head).

I just done side op 112 where you have to extract the intel agent

Spoiler

aka Kojima, who tells you "what took you so long?"

I know some people have wondered how to trigger the mission, but it only unlocked for me after i done the 10th wandering Mother Base soldier.

It unlocked for me well before I unlocked that, no idea what I did to unlock it though.

So... how EXACTLY do I knock someone out with a thrown magazine clip? I can't seem to make it happen. Is it only when reflex mode is active?

this is one of the greatest threads to appear on GAF.

 

[bomma_man]

.....was that just a huge spoiler he says like 20 seconds in? hopefully it was just sarcasm since it sounded rather jokery

i thought it was pure gameplay

The fact that it even seems like a possibility says it all about Kojima's writing ability

 

[Setsuna]

already sort of posted about by others but it cannot be overstated...

if you wear a shield while operating d-walker.... it's really really useful

obviously helps keep you alive if you're almost dead and trying to escape, and blocking chasing bullets from hitting your back but... shields protect against grenades, too, and that sort of 'explosive defense effect' is still active even when it's on your back and operating a walker

plus it just looks cool to be be in a camo walker with camo armor and big green Diamond Dogs shield

How do you change the color of the shield

 

[Fisty]

Anyone else stuck with Carrie-Boss? Im completely covered in blood (i would imagine the most blood that Boss can be covered in) and ive taken hundreds of showers but still I remain tainted. Switching to Solid Snake skin doesnt show the blood, but as soon as i switch back to any regular skin, bloody.

It's "demon status". Time to perform some heroic deeds!

If you kill numerous men, become a demon.... You can't wash that blood off your hands.... You truly have fallen..... Venom Boss.

Ha! Kojima's brilliant. I guess thats why it happened after I did free roam and killed everyone in Afghanistan with the knife. Hmmm i guess i need to save some kids or something eh? Whats the best method for getting back to normal?

Here's part of a guide I found

-30 - Fulton extract a common animal
-30 - Fulton extract a critically wounded enemy soldier
-30 - Fulton extract a puppet soldier via helicopter
-30 - Fulton extract a critically wounded enemy soldier
-30 - Fulton extract a Skull
-60 - Fulton extract a rare animal
-60 - Fulton extract a Diamond Dogs staff member
-60 - Fulton extract a prisoner
-120 - Fulton extract a child
-120 - Fulton extract a very rare or extremely rare animal


-30 - Extract an enemy soldier via helicopter
-60 - Extract a puppet soldier via helicopter
-60 - Extract a critically wounded enemy via helicopter
-60 - Extract Quiet via helicopter
-120 - Extract a VIP or prisoner via helicopter
-120 - Extract a Diamond Dogs staff member via helicopter
-240 - Extract a child via helicopter

If you fulton and it fails it gives you more demon status though. Also,as the blood goes away, watch the

Spoiler

size of Boss's horn

. That's also an indicator.

You missed this one.

-300 - Visit the animal conservation platform

 

[ponpo]

If you don't have a Tsuchinoko yet, that gives you like 10,000 heroism the first time you get one.

 

[Toa TAK]

You imported a GZ save.

That can't be it, either, because I got him/ the mission well before I was able to import my GZ save.

Also on that note, The Eye and The Finger are not worth the double extraction. I expected S' at the very least, damn it.

What... i didnt even know these were in the game. Ive been playing this game every day since launch and i feel like ive barely scratched the surface

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

I think the Diamond Dogs that appear in certain cutscenes may actually be your actual units...

I watched the (Mission 20-25 or so minor spoiler) Mother Base scene with

Spoiler

Eli knife fighting the DDog soldier

, and after it ended, I quickly checked our his face and stats... and I was able to find him in my actual unit. And I recorded the cutscene too to double check to make sure if the 'unit' that was standing there after the cutscene was the same, and they look exactly alike...

I wonder what other Diamond Dogs for other scenes actually just use the model of an existing Diamond Dog unit? ...I mean, if the game can just 'game data' to change Snake's appearance, then why not do the same for Diamond Dogs in certain scenes.

So, the other DDog scenes, such as this one with Ocelot training handguns and the bullet jams on the one soldier... I wonder if you were to check his stats after that cutscene ended (he's standing right before Boss and Ocelot before continuing on guard duty), if you could also find him in your unit

which makes me wonder, how do they pick which DDogs to put in scenes if technically I could have different soldiers than other players depending on who I've recruited, who has died, etc... that cutscene above that I linked, I'm pretty sure it's always the same DDog, so maybe he's not based on an actual unit? any chance anyone have a video of the the first Diamond Dog scene that I described

Spoiler

Eli with the knife

I wonder if it's always the same DDog for every player, how do you end up with him in your unit? could the game always have the same guy in the cutscene but randomly spawn a very similar looking DDog to be standing there when the scene ends? I mean, the game could probably just use 2 variables like hair and skin colour, and randomly pick a similar DDog to always be standing there after each scene...

in any way, it's kind of cool to think that a lot of the Diamond Dogs are not actually as random or generic as they originally seem to be... like, certain missions and even certain SIDE OPS always give your certain Diamond Dogs... and now even certain cutscenes appear to even be using Diamond Dogs from your actual unit. would be interesting to try figure out this more, and compile more data on it.

How do you change the color of the shield

you can't it's just there are 2 shields, one is grey and one is olive drab... different DD logos too

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Start collecting every animal, brah. You can visit them by selecting "animal conservation platform" from from your iDroid map.

I remember my girl Laughing Wallaby being in one of my scenes. When they aren't wearing helmets, I think they are your actual Soldiers.

 

[Espada]

Yup, one of the doctors I rescued in one of the Angola-Zaire missions was in another Mother Base cutscene. That's a really nice detail.

BTW, does anyone know what happens at max heroism? At 100,000 I got Hero status which seems to have some sort of FOB effect but what wait for me at max?

You can extract yourself from a mission by hanging on to a fultoned material container. *mindblown*

I guess missions are different for different players. I did mission 28 and during the extraction I was attacked by a

Yep, it's likely this:

I was monitoring some guards at an outpost in Africa, and it started to rain. So one of the soldiers i was looking at through my binocs was trying to light his cig. The rain was causing problems, so he proceeded to go to the nearest area with a roof and try again.
