What speed runs exactly? Because I'm pretty sure there's no way to make it to the marine you're talking about with only a Lv1 grip gauge.
Is anything missing from the HD version of Peace Walker? I noticed a few of the bonuses from MGS2 Substance and MGS3 Subsistence are missing. (Skateboarding and Secret Theater D
The only major things that are absent are the Vocaloid features and downloading new tracks for the Walkman.
The Walkman already has Beyond the Bounds, so I couldn't care less.

What about the Uniqlo shirts that were in the Peace Walker? I don't think they're in the game.
You definitely can't input the codes into a menu, but I don't know if anyone has done it on the PSP and transfer the save over.
Care to explain this a bit more? I am halfway through Act 5(How many times does that dude escape anyway???), and have put many hours into random co-op missions, yet I am still not sure what your post is referring to. My heroism is nearly 9000 now...have no idea how that number equates to my recruitment(Good, bad?)
What scanning feature are you referring to? Is it some hidden perk of the analyzer I am not noticing? I have a rank 4 analyzer, but I don't see an option to use it in the manner your post describes.
Also, any tips for earning head parts for Zeke? I have done some google research, but there is a weird debate as to what actually earns them. (ie. Only earnable against 'Custom' versions, and only randomly without doing damage to head parts...)
In the main menu for the base, the upper right hand icon is the Recruiting option. On the PSP, you could scan wi-fi hotspots to use it; on the consoles, you have to play online for a bit to get three scans per session. Once you hit about 10k Heroism, you'll start seeing a significant uptick in good soldiers during Recruiting.
And I'll be goddamned if I know what causes AI heads or Peace Walker's legs to drop.

To get the AI heads, you have to fight the Custom versions of all of them and not damage the heads AT ALL. Pupa and Cocoon are the easiest; for Chrysalis, you need the lvl5 Stinger you get from Outer Ops; and Peace Walker is a bitch with its EM field -- I don't know how you're supposed to do it without hitting the head since the damn thing moves around so much.

I would lvl. up my gauge, but I saved and it only starts me out with 4ish minutes. Not enough time to make it to lvl. 2. I need to know how that person made it.

That sucks to hear that they took those things out. I was really looking forward to adding some new songs to my Walkman to listen to when taking down machines. Oh well, doubt I would do the Vocaloid stuff though.

That was amazing!
Ah, that's interesting.
If you highlight the little box over the gauges on YouTube, it says you can do it with either a full LIFE gauge or at least a LV2 GRIP gauge.
So are you at 100% health right now?

It's strange, but the Snake Eater intro bothers me because it's out of synch compared to the PS2 version. I wasn't sure why, but I realized it's because the song starts at the "Konami Presents" screen instead of starting after.

Just finished MGS2.
Damn, I had forgotten how emotional the scenes with Otacon and Emma are. Maybe it's just me coz I love MGS and I really get into the story, but the sad music... the voice acting.. damn! And I love how Snake is just so cool about the whole situation while Otacon is breaking down. Dammit I love this series!
I started up MGS3 for about 10mins before going to bed. Wholey-fricken-crap it looks good!! Can't wait to get back into it!

Some of that speedrun stuff just feels wrong to me. I guess it doesn't count as an alarm until the 'ALARM' counter appears on screen? He was getting a lot of exclamation marks, and he just ran straight through the projector's beam in the hold which makes no sense to me (can you glitch through it without getting a game over if you're auto-aiming?). It's an amazing show, anyway. The way he took out Olga and the Soldiers later on was stunning.
I don't remember any problems with getting the tag off the guard in hold 1. Make sure Snake's life is full before you shimmy.

the 360 has control issues? I was gonna get that one
Yeah from what i've read it has some awkward controls since they had to remap buttons due to the 360 controller not having pressure sensitive buttons.

if anyone could specify that would be great, I have it on my wishlist so if it's a bad version i'll not bother.

Exactly. The ALARM state occurs if;
- You shoot an unsilenced weapon. Automatically goes off.
- Camera spots you. Automatically goes off (although there actually is a second delay between the camera spotting you and the alarm going off, I beat a vr mission by a hair that way).
- A soldier radios the ALARM in after spotting you. The general routine for the AI is:
Step 1. Soldier spots you. Cone of vision turns red. Exclamation mark appears above their head.
Step 2. Soldier shoots a few rounds at you.
Step 3. Soldier takes a few quick steps away from you, then looks at you again.
Step 4. Soldier radios in ALARM while looking at the player's position. You'll see yellow squares emitting from the soldier on your radar. After he finishes his line of dialogue, the ALARM is triggered. If you hurt or kill him before he can finish, an investigation squad is called in. If the soldier's radio isn't working:
Step 5. Soldier walks quickly to the nearest exit and the ALARM triggers the moment he leaves
I think MGS3 is similar but I haven't played that one enough to say. Basically this speedrun never let the soldiers get past Step 1.
You need to have a near full life bar. Depending on the difficulty there might be a ration behind where you start in Hold 1 (you can actually open that pressure door you just came through). Also 4 minutes sounds like plenty of time to build up to level 2. You probably know this but dropping down from a higher ledge to a lower one counts as 10 pullups. Worst case scenario: beat the tanker mission and just do it again. I missed one tag in the PLANT episode inside Arsenal so you have it easy!
nothing wrong with them in MGS3 or Peace Walker. havent played MGS2 yet.
so far the 360 version is fine and dandy. dunno what people are talking about honestly. MGS2 maybe?
they come up with alternate controller functions in place of the pressure sensitive stuff from the ps2 versions. it works fine.

It took me about twenty hours to achieve "King of the Jungle" and "It Ain't Easy Being Green". I also got way too many alerts during that run.
I didn't have too many problems with the controls which is nice because I remember trying to jump back into MGS3: Subsistence a year or so ago and couldn't do it after MGS4.

I didn't think I would do it, but I S ranked all Main and Extra Ops last night!
Gear REX v.4 was a pain in the ass... thank god for the bandana.
Why not download MGS1 off PSN?

The collection for 360 is $30 on Amazon, while the PS3 version is still $50. I was thinking about grabbing it for the 360, but am wary about the supposed janky controls. If it's just remapped stuff, I'm not too worried about it. But if the controls are actually bad/unresponsive/etc. then I'll wait for a PS3 drop.

DEFINITELY going to look to buy this for PS3 (never finished MGS2, never played MGS3 or MGSW). Any deals I should look for or sites where it's priced well?
W). Any deals I should look for or sites where it's priced well?Of frickin' course. Once of the few games I want to buy ASAP and the deal is on the 360. :jakncoke

There is an achievement for getting all dog tags across all difficulties. Blupoint took out Very Hard and you don't have to get them for European Extreme, so it's not bad at all. Remember if a guard doesn't give you his tag to shoot by his ear or point a grenade launcher/stinger/nikita at him. You can tell if he has a tag by a glimmer of light on his chest or by using thermal goggles.
The best time to get tags in the Tanker is after Olga. In New Game+ you'll find a very useful suppressor for your USP on the ladder near her boss fight.
The best time to get tags in the Plant is after meeting Ames. Security on the whole Shell tightens. New guards with tags spawn in every area from the AB Connecting Bridge to the DE Connecting Bridge, and investigation/ALERT squads now comprise of Solidus's American agents instead of the Russians. They have a lot heavier armor, it's very hard to headshot them from behind. They don't have tags, though.

Okay, I'm a UK gaffer strongly considering importing this. Am I going to miss out on any features by doing so? I'd heard that transfarring won't work between US and EU saves, but I'm not going to be doing that anyway. Is that it?
Also, is VideoGamePlus the best place to go with?

You seem to be an expert.... So dog tags carry over in a New Game+? Meaning if I had 1/2 of the dog tags in Tanker, beat the entire game, then play just Tanker, I only have to get the other 1/2?
