For the AI bosses, do you get a chance at more boards if you disable their pieces and parts? For example, if I take out the boosters on Pupa, will I get more parts based on that category?

I believe that's how it works, yes. You get more AI boards, but less mech parts.

Woot! Just got off from Uniqlo and at the bestbuy line now, it has wayyyyyy less ppl than I thought, awesome~^

I'm looking to beat Extra Ops 075. Gonna make a game in the regular lobby im Adhoc Party in a few minutes. It's me and Y2Kev, so there are 2 more slots open if anyone is interested.

 

[Red Blaster]

Getting a little miffed at all the cheap deaths in this game.

What kind of cheap deaths? I havent felt any cheapness yet though Im not terribly far in

At Chrysalis

 

[duckroll]

Okay, Extra Ops 075 is fucking impossible right now. I think I have a better shot at soloing it than doing the harder co-op version with kev. :lol

 

[adamsapple]

:lol

I swear that Kojima leaves in clipping issues like that for maximum hilarity.

BB has way less ppl there when I got off from Uni. I got to BB around 1pm, there's only 30-ish person

 

[Flunkie]

Okay people, I need to add some of you guys as friends - I need to start doing some coop with people who actually know what they're doing.

Add me, please! PSN is Flunkie44. If you already have me, I really wanna play Peace Walker! So let's do it!

Finally unlocked the first

Monster Hunter mission

last night.... holy shit!!!

I got my ass handed to me and I've had no real issues with the game at all thus far. How the fuck am I going to do this without resupplying like 10 times on the field? :lol

how do you resupply on the field? I've put 3 in Intel Team and used the supply marker multiple times in the boss battles but I'm not getting anything. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

I don't even understand what clipping is occurring there. The guy whose legs are stuck out to the right doesn't appear to have a top half at all!

What is the best place to grind for the most competent soldiers?

After you put or throw the marker on the ground you have to press the attack button. A crate will be dropped off.

At Chrysalis

Since I like to go full stealth, I usually take only the Mk22 and Mosin with me. If I get caught, I may as well restart the mission because I'm screwed in a firefight. Trying to use rations while getting shot at sucks ass.

L, then R to place it, then R again to call it in.

He does. His head is just stuck inside the right leg of the other soldier. :lol

Ahh yes, I have run into similar issues. Its hard once backup arrives and you have to defend yourself with a pea shooter. I usually try to position myself right and CQC slam one guy into several others or try to combo them all at once but it doesnt go my way half the time.

What do you keep equipped in the item slot? I make it a habit to always have rations equipped unless I absolutely need something else. Youll auto-use them when your health hits zero.

 

[RavenFox]

Loving this game and this thread.

 

[Ridley327]

Got my S-rank on Pupa.

Abusing that hallway entrance makes everything sooooooo much easier. It also helped that I brought along my FIM-43 to take him out; that launcher is beastly!

Pupa was my first S-Rank... accidentally, no less. :lol
I was shocked when I got to the Mission Complete screen and heard the S-Rank music... like whaa????

It's funny but thus far, I've only been able to S-Rank the AI boss battles. For some reason I'm not good at getting them for the stealth missions. It's always an A cuz I'm too slow, I guess... (I don't kill in MGS games unless absolutely necessary, so it can't be that). Damn time limits!

Sometimes it's much easier to throw smoke grenades and CQC them than shooting them with tranq weapons.

Can you purchase the soundtrack to this game in the U.S.?

 

[Salaadin]

I think youll have to find an import shop that stocks it or buy online somewhere.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I just beat extra ops 112. It took like 60 missiles and 15 minutes to kill it. Man I must have used the supply marker 7 times and yet I got a B rank. I don't even see how I will be able to beat 113 at this rate :lol .

 

[TheSeks]

Just FYI (not sure if it applies to the MH missions) supply drops will lower your hero ranking and your final grade. IIRC you can't get an S-rank with them. :/

 

[Scythesurge]

BB has way less ppl there when I got off from Uni. I got to BB around 1pm, there's only 30-ish person

Maybe I should go...

How do you take down some of those AI bosses without them? A handful of missles doesnt seem like enough.

 

[Vamphuntr]

You can use 1 or 2 and still get S rank. I got S rank on Chrysalis and called supply support once. And 112/113 are not a MH missions .

 

[Salaadin]

How far into the game do you have to be to unlock the MH missions?

 

[TheSeks]

Awww... Kev's the only person in the ad-hoc room.

Anyone want to give me better food/intel soldiers? I'm kinda annoyed at my low levels and I can't seem to fulton the "best" intel/food dudes yet.

 

[anddo0]

Extra Ops missions are brilliant. I can't get enough of this game.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Pretty early on. But you probably won't be able to beat them until completing the game.

Spoiler

You must have rescued Chico. Listen to his tapes about the Island of monsters then go to extra ops 29. Backtrack and go to the beach.

Awesome. I will look tonight. Ive listened to a bunch of his tapes about bigfoot and shit. I wonder if I got the Island of monsters one.

I believe it only lowers your hero ranking, not the final grade. I still got S ranks after using a lot of them.

 

[patsu]

I got the game ! Totally forgot about it.

 

[Vamphuntr]

For the next missile launcher I need a R & D level 75. I'm now at 58. It seems I can't get soldiers with more than B and C ranks. I have beaten the game but I'm having a hard time completing the 5 stars and 5 red stars missions. The thing is I'm pretty sure the best soldiers are in these missions. Gonna grind again for a while.

 

[Epcott]

I've played for 8 hours so far, and it's pretty good.
My only gripe so far would be when "sticking someone up". Sometimes you can be positioned behind an enemy and hit your "aim" when the CQC icon flashes...instigating the "holding of one up", yet it won't register. When you get slightly closer to perform the move, your cover gets blown. I've started many a mission over again due to it.

I'm still having a great time, regardless



Also, is it me or do the graphics look a little muddled on an HDTV while using the AV cables?
I've searched Amazon to look for an HDMI out PSP go accessory, but couldn't find one.

If you want good R&D people, you should get the POWs from Extra Ops:049.
And in case you haven't unlocked Extra Ops:049, the path is 045 -> 046 -> 102 -> 047 -> 048 -> 091 -> 049.

 

[SlaughterX]

Does this game make you install the latest firmware update before playing it?

Thanks! I'll give this a shot. Extra ops 45 is the stealth thing right?

 

[Erigu]

045 to 049 are all "Perfect Stealth" missions.

 

[autobzooty]

Is there a way to tell what kinds of soldiers you'll find in a mission before going in and looking around? I know if your Intel team is a high enough level you can see what LEVELS you'll be finding, but can you find the aptitudes from a distance, or do you just have to know?

 

[Deadly]

Missiles+LMG. Pupa and the Cocoon are hella easy to S-rank. Chrysalis is the only one that I have problems with since it moves around all the time.

You have to use the homing missiles for this one.

Chaff grenades help a lot.

I just spammed the two RPGs (ran out ammo, so I had to use a supply drop ugh) and beat the first one easy.

I gotta get a third RPG and redo that mission to S-rank easy.
