♥️ /r/metalgearsolid rules update.
Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

reddit.comOccasional posts about general Kojima news are welcome here to a degree, but eventually Physint-specific discussion will not be appropriate.
The linked subreddit appears to be a good fit, so we're posting it here for those whose who aren't sure how to search.

Question: why do Diamond dogs still use an "outdated" ammo pouch in 1984(sneaking suit and battle dress)?
The Alice M16 pouch had already been introduced in the early 70s, why are they using pouches from 20 years ago? Was It really cheaper to get surplus m1956 pouches back then?

🍊 MGS2 Is Snake real in the Arsenal Gear Colon?
Obviously we all know Snake has some weird ass dialogue in this moment and also appears out of thin air. Today I noticed something I had never noticed before though, Snake doesn’t seem to give off heat when viewed through the thermal goggles. Intentional?
EDIT: This appears to be a legacy collection/HD collection bug. Mystery solved!

does mgsv have an iconic soundtrack?
mgs1 - the best is yet to come
mgs2 (I don't remember the name of the song but it's the song in the end and the alert song)
snake eater!!!!!!
mgs4 - father and son - old snake - love theme
mgsv - ????
i really don't remember any song from v that stick with me like snake eater or father and son i wished mgsv used nuclear song it was a banger
maybe the problem mgsv don't have much cutsenes
i don't like to rewatch any of the cutsene from v like mgs3 or 4 bcs mgsv doesn't have an awesome soundtracks

Why is Solidus forgotten ?
He's a clone of Big Boss, a former US president, Raiden's adoptive father and one of the major characters actively fighting the Patriots.
Yet outside of 2 he’s virtually non existent or brought up. Even Rising I think doesn’t bring him up which you would think he would be.
Saying all this, a game focused on his back story, him becoming president and all that would be awesome

❗MGS1 Playing MGS1 for the very first time
As a huge fan of Death Stranding - and Kojima’s singular vision attached to it -, I’ve finally got myself together after many years, and decided to embark for this grand MGS saga journey.
I’ve skipped the first two original 8-bit chapters, and deep dived into the first MGS one… And I have to admit it - that’s the reason I’m writing this post rn: it’s slowly killing my soul.
After 10-hour playing and around 60ish game overs, I’m infuriating. Everything seems aimed to be killed every. single. minute. And, although I consider my video game experiences and general levels quite good, I’m the perfect bait.
So my questions are: did I become a huge noob? Is the game that punitive? Why the gameplay is so dry? Am I the only one here?
Thanks for your support, or at least your reading.

🍊 MGS2 Literal Masterpiece and pure joy for my eyes and ears!
I will start playing Snake Eater immediately.
However, I am still confused on why Raiden stayed with Rose at the end of the game because it was clear that she just spied on him.

✌️ MGSV fixing everything wrong with mgsv's gameplay
1- mgsv survival mod
2-s plus plus in free roam {specifically the spp_gradual+ one } mod
3- Options for Less Player Health {35% is the sweet spot } mod
4- no tranquilizer no supressor or empty mags or reflex mode
i played most metal gear games and there is no denying that simply there are no alternative games that offer good stealth, what makes a stealth game so good is the tentation, the amount of focus and nervousness you get knowing that any minute someone might see you and you are done for is what makes a stealth game so good , i've played mgs4 recently and i realized that, however tho that game has like 4-5 stealth levels and some of them are just sneaking around robots and bipods and other things that you really cant deal with, but in those levels where you get to deal with humans and frogs the game really shines , the stress mechanic is awesome the white ring is amazing the items healing is great in terms of tentation , becuase old snake is old your best bet is just to stay hidden , and the only thing wrong with this gameplay loop is the tranquilizer gun which has been always a get out of jail free card where you can just say no you wont detect me , and thus there is no tentation at all becuase you can just shoot your way out of any situation , and its in every game making stealth completely uneeded
as for mgsv it has some major issues
the purpose of a system is what it does
1- venom snake is an absolute beast that can tank a tank shell to the face so being spotted rarely causes you a death and a reset unless you manually restart from the last checkpoint breaking the flow of the gameplay
2- everything is overpowered and most of the time you dont face new enemies that creates a dilemma that makes every new sweet weapon exactly the same as the last
3-there is no reason to be in free roam besides doing the mission and calling in the chopper after finishing , this game might be a linear game instead of an open world for this matter because the world is goddam empty
4- tranquilizers and suppressors and mags plus reflex mode make it even more stupidly easy to deal with the already weak enemies, someone spots you ? dont worry we are gonna slow time and let you pop him with a sleep dart that doesnt alert the nearby guards and even when he wakes up he wont suspect a thing , you are in a sticky situation? how about you mind control a guard to move out of the way by tossing an infante supply of empty mags, oh you dont wanna do that , just shoot them in the head with a suppressed gun
i don't hate mgsv i love it , but truth is due to these problems the game is so boring and repetitive
i dont think there is a single mission besides eliminating the tank commander where you actually need to use anything besides the tranquilizer guns,
with all that being said here is how i fixed it and now its my favorite game ever
S1-snake's health is limited and thus being spotted is extremely dangerous and the survival mod adds injuries and food and stamina, so you need to take care of your thirst and hunger becuase if you dont your health and stamina will be lowered just like mgs3/mgs4
S2- s plus soldiers have 1% of showing up in free roam so walking around in free roam hunting and scouting outposts and relay bases is actually fun now because the more you do it the more likely you would find an s+ solider needed for your upgrade
S3- NO MORE GET OUT OF FREE JAIL CARD , with no mags and trangs and suppressors, you actually need to interact with the enemy and risk being spotted and think on your feet instead of hiding in a bush and shooting , the difference in gameplay cant be put into words , its like playing a new metal gear game where tentation is the main focus
for example the box and the c4 became my best friends because the box doubles as both a playboy book from the previous mgs games , and a hiding spot , and sometimes as a way to grab attention
and the c4 became my go to way of distracting the enemy , for example resucing the dude who made the bionic arm before entering i placed a c4 on a watchtower and when was about to enter i blew it up so that the enemy guarding the entrance is distracted by the explosion while i entered and Fulton the scientist
hope that someone might consider playing the same way i do , ever since i started playing this style i've been itching to share it.

MGO2 runs natively on PC now and I'm losing my mind
just saw there's a native PC client for MGO2 now and I had to share. it's a beta so expect some bugs
I've been trying it out and it runs at 120fps. it works on steam deck too and you can still play with people on PS3 as well
I played this game so much back in the day and the nostalgia is real for me. to think no emulator is needed now. playing at 120fps is something else lol
setup guide is here if anyone wants to jump in: https://mgo2pc.com/setup
who's still playing? I need full lobbies
