Has anyone been able to avoid detection while sniping enemies in a vehicle mission? It seems like I always get seen eventually by the vehicle, though when/how it happens is random...

Yes, but I have to be ridiculously patient (spoiler about sniping)
The first loud shot always triggers a "warning" phase, causing the AI to be more alert. I can only take one or two shots before I have to take cover to wait it out.

Having a few toys unlocked later on helps quite a bit in sniping. So long as you're fairly far away and your camo index isn't negative you should be okay.

How do you know when the alert phase has ended?

*edit* Yup, I'm completely failing at this. Might give up on the Extra Ops at this rate :(

Question for unlocking Extra ops missions

I've done the Zadernov mission 6 and I've been the remaining missions in order. Do I just keep doing them in order to unlock the missing ones or do I have to follow a particular order?

What is the recommended strategy going into these? The vehicle guns tear through my dudes like warm butter :(

For the initial ones, I just go and CQC them (when they're grouped it makes it even easier), then proceed to cover. You should have enough ration and curry to survive. This probably won't work for the post-chapter 4 vehicle bosses in Extra Ops though.

Well, Stealth
Sniping
is actually the "quicker" way to stealth run those missions. There's a far more patience requiring way that's both fairly absurd and awesome.

It's very, very satisfying to do those missions via stealth if you're a stealth heavy player.

The brilliance in this game really shines if you tackle it via stealth
they give you SO many toys to tackle those fights without getting into a shootout
, moreso if you have a partner that knows how to play stealthily.

I played stealthy during the whole game. Except those missions and of course the last one. I haven't killed anyone though but doing it like you would just kill me. I just don't have the patience.:lol

Oh man, I've just finished listening to all the tapes from Eva and Strangelove in the Briefing Files and I'm 100% sure next Metal Gears will be all about The Boss. There is so much stuff in there it's like listening to an overview of a whole new MG trilogy.

I'm expecting Raiden to be the main character of the series set in the future with The Boss being female protagonist of the series set in the past (from WWII till Snake Eater). I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually the secret PS3 exclusive Kojima is apparently working on.

Anyway, if you haven't listened to the tapes yet, do so NOW.

A little help with Extra OPs.

In particular, the one where you face the APC boss again. I swear the soldiers just keep coming! Any pointers here for good place for cover and whatnot. I run out of Fultons at some point too D:

Yeah really surprised by this too. On "shooter" controls, i think it's as perfect as MGS controls can get, with the limitations of the PSP controls.

Amen. The camera alone makes this so much more of a pleasure to play than Portable Ops and overloading the d-pad with menus was a stroke of genius.

seriously, what's the point of chapter 5 and how long does it last?


it's a decent game but there's always something that shits up a metal gear game

It's just an extra, much like the extra missions. Actual game ended with chapter 4.

They do stop coming after a while. You'll then need to damage the APC a bit for the driver to come out.

When you run out of Fultons, kill them. I use silenced guns or claymore for that. Just be warned when they are alarmed they can spot you even from afar if you are not behind something.

I usually hide on top of the hill to the left (behind the woods). Or in the warehouse to the right.

5 hours in and I'm in love with the game.

So far I have only got C's from missions. Thanks to my non-sneaky aproach! :lol

I have to convince my Monster Hunter pals to buy the game. I really want to test PW's multiplayer.

more than 15 hours. with Extra OPS it's more than 25 hours or something.

that game is pretty much lengthy and awesome.
Click to expand...

Maybe I just suck, but I'm at about 35 and not really close to finished Extra Ops.

*edit* What are some good missions to grind for soldiers?

*edit2* Just got spotted on a mission when there was only one soldier left... :(

Damn, I can see getting an S-rank being tough on the part where you need to get to the
Communications Tower after talking with Paz on the security camera..
I guess I will have to start killing people now, this is definitely the hardest part yet.. been running through the game without a single kill so far :|

I absolutely do not play games fast and I beat it in 10 hours. I did a few extra missions but it was almost all main story missions.

That seem not possible to me. Unless you skipped the cutscenes and the tapes.

To defeat most of the bosses you need to do many optional missions/capture tons of people/develop weapons.

Also I doubt you finished the five chapters.

Made an agreement with another GAF member, refused to honor it because he was broke, but then had no problem continuing to buy video games.
In that particular part everyone is having tapping problems , when I was playing and the part started I got a really bad torn muscle in the neck so I was screaming and suffering too:lol :lol

Weird question, but does the tank captain automatically see you? I've now tried this mission 10 times, got him to show up 4 of them, but each time he sees me and destroys me with tank shells.

I finally got to the part where I was able to recruit
Hideo Kojima. I love how he just non-chalantly waves at you, LOL.

Pupa
was a bitch to take out by myself. :(
