Oh haha. I just found out if you lay down an Emotion magazine the enemy will take on the emotion of whichever lady's page is open. Just like the emotion smoke grenade and bullets. Shoulda figured...:lol

Are there any hidden codec frequencies to find? All there is officially are Otacons and Rosemarys frequencies.

I have to think there are; I mean, the entire frequency range is selectable. But nobody has reported finding anything yet. I'm half inclined to pause during an alert and check the entire range one by one.

First off, Act 4 was fucking amazing. Dude, I didn't even
go through the hangar door, i went the original way of the vent. Got DP for a flashback, too. I was a bit disappointed to see that they didn't have the water in the air duct like part one, but every other part was so amazingly true to part 1 that I had to be the happiest kid ever lol. I played through all of Act 4 using the young snake with bandanna facecamo [and alot more lol.]
As for your Naomi question:
As far as I can tell, Naomi had to act like she was into Vamp. Vamp's a weird dude. Into that kinda stuff. She had to convince him, so she played along. *shrug*

Can i get the solor gun on an easy play through? After two stealth runs through the game, i would much rather play a balls to the wall fire fight and get those emblems and then try to get the statues.

I'm doing this right now. Getting the Statues AND doing a "No Alert" "No Kill" run.

Im on Act 5, and doing the same. But since i wanted to see certain cutscenes again, i carelessly over steeped the time limitsfor the emblems so now im forced to finish the rest of it on Big Boss Hard and getting nothing for it : (

I just finished my second run of the game doing this on Liquid Easy. Now I have lots of toys to play with. I also made sure to get 50 CQC and 50 Knife stuns for the Altair costume. I'm not sure I wanna do a Big Boss run right after this. So instead I'm going for an emblem run. I know one needs over 30 hours for one playthrough and one has like more than 41 continues. So I'll take my time this run. See the maximum number of emblems I can get with this.BlueTsunami said:

Go for head shots and kills too. Also, roll 200 times and leave snake prone and hugging a wall seperatly for an hour each.

I did the same thing with the ducts! When Snake looked at that security camera, it was a very sentimental moment. Like I said, the nostalgia was awesome, but I guess it wasn't enough of a jolt to "wake me" from the long cutscenes segement prior to it.
I too played through Act IV with Young Snake w/Bandana.. :lol.
That's a probable reason as to why Naomi was acting like that...

I don't understand how to beat bosses (like Laughing Octopus) non-lethally. Can someone tell me how? I've never played a MGS before this one (well, for more than a demo).

Expanding on this, is it considering killing a boss before theyAbsinthe said:
shed their armor?

No, you can blast them in their armor with what ever you got, just make sure to tranq them when they are our of it otherwise it will count as a kill.

I thought Act2 was the best looking personally. I even discovered an new area in my second playthrough, the salt flats, which were pretty cool and unique.
Not sure if this is mentioned yet but in regards to Raging Raven...
Act 3 spoilers
Act 3 spoilers
During the motorcycle chase Raven is chasing you throughout the last area, if you shoot her with a grenade launcher she takes damage, one shot did 1/4 damage and you have at least 4 oppurtunities to hit her. I was only able to hit her once, but has anyone hit her more than that or maybe even killed her before her actual fight? If so what happens if anything?

I'm playing through the game again and trying to be stealthy this time.
I am even more blown away by how amazing this game is on the 2nd playthrough. Now that I have mastered the controls and am used to the mechanics, I am noticing a lot of stuff that I looked over on my first playthrough. This game seriously has the best presentation of any game, ever. So far it is the only game this generation that has fully lived up to and surpassed my expectations.
I am a total Metal Gear fanboy, but I don't think there will be a game or a series that will even compare to Metal Gear Solid for a long, long time. I think I will go back and play the series in chronological order after I finish my 2nd playthrough.
Damn, what an amazing piece of entertainment.

For the few people who were complaining a few pages back about the jokes on switching discs. I still found them funny. Don't compare it to installs and complain, rather look at them as throwbacks to MGS1. There were a ton of funny things added in
(hell the whole 4th act was a major throwback to MGS1 and I loved every second of it, including the voice playbacks.)

Besides the ending cutscene with Snake, we see Meryl married to Johnny (ugh to that one), a nice father-daughter type moment with Otacon and Sunny. We see Raiden happy with his family, accepted by his son, loved by his wife.
Sure Snake's story is depressing to a certain extent. But it's also admirable, and impressive. The amount of dedication he shows (and really Ocelot should be applauded here as well because he went even above and beyond Snake IMO) is great. Sure dying or the presence of death that lurked in the final two acts can be depressing (Naomi's death and Otacon's reaction, while somewhat cringe-worthy is such a moment). But Snake was accepted and garnered the respect from the one person he never thought he could. He set out to do something, he did it.
I don't think Snake's story is depressing if you just take it as he only has three months to live, it's more like he was a tool used his entire life and it sucks that he only has a short time to live life the way he wants to.
Maybe that's just me though, certain parts are depressing, but endings are going to do that.
