It would have been funnier if the soldier would have gotten shot, snake would have hid, and then the soldier would have stopped looking for him, after like 2 minutes. That really bugs me about the MGS games.
I mean ok, if you think you see something, investigate, and don't find it, then fine. Return to your post. But when you get SHOT IN THE CHEST, I don't think you'd be giving up the hunt anytime soon.
I know videogames aren't about realism, but it really takes me out of the MGS games.
