Yep. Totally just started the game last night, only about an hour in, and thought i'd swing by the OT to see some peoples initial impressions.

Life of a perfectionist.
This is especially funny in hindsight.

I completely agree. And then he goes and defends his spoiler sharing it actually wasn't one.
Spoiler tags or ban, is what I say

Not just that but the mission structure itself can take place in multiple remote locations simultaneously. Targets are often on the move. You can tail one target or ignore them completely and get your Intel a different way. Mission 1 is a perfect example of how the open world enriches the mission design. This wouldn't be possible if each zone was separate. Once you've replayed the missions a few times it becomes clear that this stuff wouldn't be possible without an open world. Yes, not every mission takes advantage of this but most do. It would be nice if there were more enemy patrols between areas and more animals or things to find besides plants, but as it is I find it immensely satisfying, and I'm only on the 13 mission.
Seriously?! Dude

Select a song and when you have it selected, press triangle or square (PS4 obviously. Can't remember which button it is). A yellow helicopter sign should appear next to the song name.
Oh and check out the reply I left for you. It answers the question on what the speaker is for.
Seriously i've watched all the trailers and also saw it in the game but for people who don't know this it would be a huge surprise and definitely one of the biggest WTF moments in the game.
I feel bad for everyone who got spoiled.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
First time I enter thread to see general feelings, get spoiled. Cool.

The attempt to justify it is what makes it so disgusting. I'm sorry, but that's some major jackass like behavior.

lol How the fuck is that not a spoiler? I've been playing for 5-6 hours and I wouldn't have expected that at all.
Wtf.
Wtf.
Exactly, 2 pages full of people complaining about it and he still doesn't tag it!
MB staff is assigned automatically if that's what you want Miller to do (I haven't dove into micromanaging that as so far everything is fine with me). Supply Drops aren't expensive either. You can make your money back just by grabbing materials and minerals as needed. You really shouldn't be worrying about GMP too deeply as you'll be getting a lot of it doing side ops, main ops, and hunting/fultoning anyway.

if someone can answer this question please PM me because I don't want to stay in this thread at this point.

I did see it. I'm totally using it on those side ops.
Question: if I'm hearing music through my iDroid speakers will soldiers hear me when I'm sneaking through? I don't even know if in using headphones or speakers have the time.

I'm going to say this again because it bares repeating.
Riot SMG - find that Blueprint asap.
If with the helmets on - you might burn your suppressor but if you have to you can just stun blast 2 guys out at once and walk over their bodies to the future.

Can you guys stop repeating "Wtf spoiler alert" and answer my question, your spam pushed me to last post on last page so no one noticed it. Plus he edited his message ages ago.
Also I finished whole game (well I think so - again, now I have questions) and didn't encounter scene from guy spoiled. So in hindsight it actually helped me since I didn't realize there were hidden triggers for some story cutscenes.

To use speakers I think you have to hit R2 and then there is an x over the speakers you have to remove it. Once it finishes playing a cassette I think it defaults back to headphones.
It's a spoiler, don't justify it just accept it and tag it.
There is a reason most people were shocked when they found out the first time.
People play MGS for little details rather than just the main plot so even if there is something that pertains to something other than the main plot it is a spoiler.

I've seen people banned for less.
I'm with you man, THERES AN ENTIRE SPOILER THREAD FOR THIS.
Anyone who thinks that the OT is a better place to post something like that than the Spoiler Thread is insultingly inconsiderate.
What does this mean?

It's a few missions. Just keep revisiting Mother Base frequently after each story mission and DD and Ocelot will show up in cutscenes to greet you. It's not too long.
There's a thread for that.

Instead of doubling down on being a douchebag why don't you just edit your post? Seriously, ban worthy.
Alex_Mexico

And the asshole still hasn't edited his huge spoiler with a spoiler tag. I'm 15 hours Ito the game and had no idea that that would happen. The imbecile spoiled it to me.
Fuck him. Can a mod at least edit his post so he doesn't spoil others?

Can someone answer this? I am super early in the game so maybe it isn't answered yet.
GZ Spoiler
EARLY (like 1-3 missions in) PP Spoiler
GZ Spoiler
Skullface posed as XOF, wanted to hurt Paz to get Cipher/Zero's location (presumably to kill him), and then attacks MB
EARLY (like 1-3 missions in) PP Spoiler
They keep saying XOF is a Zero/Cipher org that attacked MB. So... how was Skullface part of XOF, a Cipher Org, when he was hunting Cipher?

Why is it telling me to construct an FOB for the combat unit missions? I thought FOB was for online stuff only? I have more available units to send but I can't seem to queue up more than 2 active missions

How can you tell who the troublemaker is anyway? They all have these symbols but don't have a clue which one indicates a troublemaker.
Because having an F.O.B. increases your deployment. You don't need to do it, it just makes it faster/more available to do.
Outright says it in the member info.

I don't agree completely, it's pretty obvious that the focus are infiltrations and in the regard the world is perfect is just that the setting is... unispired outside the outpost, camps or villages, is minor if you understand that this is not the important thing for this game but you do have to travel a long way sometimes and most of the time is like a lame task. Personally if I want diversity I refer to the setting, I don't want collectibles or side stuff, I want populated villages and other settings that fit the area, even if you don't have anything to interact with.
Urgh, yeah, I definitely dig the lesser story going on here. I thought I might miss codec stuff and I kind of did in Peace Walker, but here, you can do a lot of stuff while just letting the tapes play.
XOF is part of Cipher but they went rogue, and they are now trying to hunt down Cipher. Zero was not part of the attack to Mother Base, that was all Skullface acting on his own.

There's certain miscellaneous tapes in the world that are probably meant to go with that feature.
IE, the Afghan Lullaby, or the "Recorded in the toilet" tape. If I'm thinking correctly since this is an MGS game, I'd say those two would have effects when played in speaker mode, such as putting guards to sleep, or scaring a soldier away from searching the porta-potties if you're hiding in it.
Of course though, if so it's damn impractical due to the menu crawl and load times to get to those.

Do I have to unlock FOB or something? The game hasn't even mentioned it yet, I don't know how to build one
Only through Fultons. They're meant to be refined like the small cases.

I'm so fucking stupid, I went to see what all you guys were on about and spoiled it for myself. 22 hours in myself and I had no idea that would happen. My fault though for looking back though I admit it should have been in spoiler tags.
There is an NGO that is paying you to extract wildlife from conflict zones in exchange for some money. It's flimsy logic but I appreciate that they justify it somehow, it's funny.

I take it this means it's revealed later then. Won't read the spoiler yet. Thanks!
Go to the staff list and "troublemaker" is listed under the abilities. You need to be on expanded view, I think by pressing triangle twice.
I read about the troublemakers yesterday and immediately culled them all.
Same thing happened to me. Is that seriously how this works?
From the cassettes it sounded to me like
Cipher grew out of control so Zero ditched and and went into hiding. I guess Skullface is part of Cipher and is trying to find out where Zero is hiding or something.
