IIRC, in Portable Ops Gene tells Big Boss that Volgin was ordered to fire the nuke by a higher power. I believe this ended up being either Zero or the Director of the CIA. I forget which though, it was left pretty ambiguous. :/
Coldman told him to.
Which makes you wonder why someone who loathes the United States would listen to the Director of the CIA.

I forgot that Portable Ops implies that Volgin was in on the whole thing and then PW further says that the Operation was actually about trying to get rid of the Boss from the get go.
But I try to ignore those games.

Just started MGS3 last night and am two hours in. Man I forgot how much sitting and watching there is to some of the MGS games, but either way it looks great and I'm enjoying it so far.
I plan on playing in order of time they take place but haven't decided on playing Portable Ops, MG1 or MG2 yet.

Exactly. It's things like this that make me not want any MGS games set backwards in time.

Exactly. I've been so put off of MGS after anything post MGS2
Well I do love MGS3 and thought it's story didn't really hurt what had happen before hand. I'm sure there are some little contradictions, but nothing that bothers me.
I agree with this. Kojima also tried to subtly answer some of MGS2's questions without giving a direct answer, but through inference. For example (obvious MGS2 and 3 spoilers here):
Ocelot was supposed to demonstrate what would happen to Olga's child, since he was taken away from The Boss in a similar way that Olga's child was taken away from her. She would probably wind up being an agent of The Patriots.

MGS3 wasn't bad to MGS2 but MGS4 violently raped them both.
The ending to MGS3 didn't have to mean
. Stupid.

Zero and them were the Patriots either

I was playing Peace Walker in front of my bro-in-law.
Fulton system (how did he just float in the air like that?)
crazy MotherBase interface (why are you researching tortilla chips?)
EX OPs (there is a dating game in here?)
crazy long cutscenes (cold war mixed with kojima = crazy delicious)
his face look like this;

That wasn't the end of MGS3, that happened after MGS3 many years later

Alright. Finally through MGS2 & 3. Even watched an LP of MGS4...Yeesh.
Now to shove everything aside so I can dive into Peace Walker.

Lol, try MGS2 now...
My MGS3 plat took almost 2 playthroughs as well, it would have taken only one but for some reason I missed the fire camo the first time around so I had to play the game all the way up until getting the maintenance uniform for the Fashionista trophy. That was a pain.
I accidently ate the tsuchinoko lol. I'm gonna do probably do the VR missions real quick then do peace walker and do the dog tags after.

Not sure what you mean by "real quick", but for me those VR missions in MGS2 took me longer to complete than the MGS3 Plat took altogether. There are a lot of tough missions in there
were you trying to get first place or just beat them?
Hey motherfuckers. This collection is FUCKING AMAZING. I can't believe how good this is. It basically surpassed all possible expectations.
- MGS2, MGS3, and MGS PW in HD, all in 60fps, in true widescreen.
- Full online play for PW, complete with voice chat, and direct through PSN. No Konami ID bullshit.
- All the Subsistence content in MGS3, including MG and MG2.
- Looks motherfucking amazing.
- Runs motherfucking well.
- PW controls are motherfucking good.
- No installs. No bullshit. All on one disc.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!

Sounds motherfucking awesome.
The trophies for MGS2, MGS3, and MGS PW are really well designed too. There are a ton of interesting ones to get, and a lot are connected to fund optional content/challenges in the games.
The fact that MGS4 never got trophies patched in indicates that the game is such a clusterfuck of programming that Kojima Productions could never find a way to easily patch it or port it to any other platform. Considering how fucked up the game is technically, with the shitty load times, the ridiculous installs, etc, I wouldn't be surprised if the only way we can ever get anything "more" out of MGS4 is if they completely remake the game from ground up.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I remeber Payton saying on the KP podcast that they were doing something about it around Aug 2010 I think. The clusterfucked programming is probably the same reason we haven't got MGS4S, a la Integral/Substance/Subsistence

To import to the UK from planetaxel or not...
No Secret Theater, no Snake vs. Monkey.
(No Metal Gear Online, either, but that's what MGS4 is for.)No Secret Theater, no Snake vs. Monkey.
Any gaffers play this? I bought the DLC during the summer, but always get kicked from lobbies (low level)
No skateboarding, no Guy Savage...No Secret Theater, no Snake vs. Monkey.
What about MGS HD? We need that too.

Oh god no it isn't. MGS2 is a puzzle game, it's made with the controls and camera in mind. It dosent need its gameplay changed at all.

So... they're still messing around with MGS4? Hmmm
Oops, it was actually August 2009
Still waiting lol
What dya mean? Would 3D camera control improve 2 substantially? Like FPS-mode enhance MGS1 in TTS?
lol

Yeah probably shouldn't keep my fingers crossed.
Guy Savage is gone? I thought I just did something wrong when I tried to make it happen. (That explains why there's no trophy for it, because that would be an obvious choice.

I was taken out as it ran on a different engine iirc
They experimented with a 3D camera for the HD collection and found that it really wasn't working all that well. No reason for it either since the game is still entirely in the classic MG mold.

The game keeps track of all the kills and non-kills and what not for those emblems at the end. They could totally go with typical Dynasty Warriors route and pop up achievement/tropies at the end of the level when you save the game based on some of the stats the game does keep track of.

Hey, just got this and was wondering which order to play them in?
Release date or Metal Gear timeline order?
I've beaten MGS and MGS4 if that makes any difference.

Preferably release date, chronological is okay though. As long as you play 1 before 2.
