If you want to effectively skip the Anti-AA mission...
Someone earlier actually mentioned this strat, I couldn't believe it actually works!
Get a high enough ranking to get the rocket launcher. At the spawn use the rocket launcher to shoot an Anti-AA that does not have a person next to it. Shoot the other Anti-AA once there are people not next to them (they will move away when you are in Combat Status). Shoot the tank once it appears. Run to the LZ. It will probably take around 2 minutes.
2 minute clear time + no kills should land you the S Rank, it did for me on hard.

I think a cool solution would be if he had the 'cricket clicker' that American paratroopers used in WW2. It was a small device that when pressed would make a clicking noise. IRL it was used as a secret call-sign so soldiers could communicate, but it would work well for the purpose of distracting guards in MGS and add a cool little historical gadget that would make for a good codec call that could tie into The Boss or something.

You only need to do 1 trial on normal per mission after you finish the mission the first time just do the mark the enemies trial to unlock the others... and if you complete the hard mission twice (one to finish and the next for a finishing time) it will unlock all trials for that mission... not really grindy but can take a while if you are doing the mark all enemies Stealthy
You don't have to do all the trials just unlock them for 100%

What is it? I can only think of juggling saves between the PS3, PSP and a Vita. _
http://www.themogblog.com/2013/02/27/how-tometal-gear-peace-walker-transfarring-to-ps-vita/
If you google "peace walker transfarring vita" you get multiple topics and guides
It's a bit of a hassle and I haven't tried it myself, but it should work.
iirc, you can put in a flash drive, transfer the save onto that, copy the save to your pc and then transfer to vita.

Does the vita push PW to using 333MHz. Was playing it on my PSPgo and that push helped a ton performance wise.

Nah, standard version. Dunno if there were any price difference tho.
That's pretty good. Send that along to whathisname who's asking for ideas on Twitter for TPP.

Yeah, I get it. You didn't point out the exact year of the original so I did. I don't think the year MG1 took place in is exactly common knowledge.

if every map in mgs5: the phantom pain is this quality then it will be a pretty incredible game
how many hours did it take you to get 100%?
RyanardoDaVinci

Don't know about them but it took me ~32hrs.
twisteddeeds

It took me roughly 30 to 35 hours to 100%
really? I read some reviews and say that you will eventually get bored of playing the same map, what do you think of that?, I played PW like 50 hours and some missions repeated maps and never bored me, for my the people that wrote these reviews do not understand the essence of the game

You know, just BB, chilling out.
Fucking demos. Wayyy not worth the price for that measly content.
100% completion will actually take me longer than platinuming Second Son, which involved 100%ing one path and finishing the game on the other. Incredible.

Man, I'd love an option to dismantle a gun once I've disarmed an enemy. Just picture the look of shock and utter fear on the enemy after you've humiliated him so.
Can Big Boss even do that, or is that strictly a The Boss thing?
I think I'm around eight hours in with no S Ranks, no déjà vu unlocked and a lot of experimentation still left undone, and I can't see myself getting bored with it any time soon. The map while pretty bland overall is large enough to not grow too stale like I thought it would. The game play overhaul has done wonders for me.
That would be awesome.
Thanks for the help guys. Just finished another try, no alerts, no kills, no reflex, 2 prisoners rescued... but 13 retries and 50 minutes so I still got a C rank
. Was hoping a bit higher so I could unlock the sniper rifle or even better, rocket launcher... Argh!I'll read up on your strategies and then give it another try later tonight!
I actually looked at your vid and that was awesome! Unfortunately I think you need to get A rank first to unlock the rocket launcher so I can't try that yet

I'm at work but I see everyone talking about getting S rank on the AA gun mission on hard.
Well I'd like to help, I replied to someone yesterday with a helpful clip, I implore you to look, it can be easy.
Really? Easiest mission by far in my book
2.5 minutes and S rank everytime
edit: Ill make a clip of my strategy for you

Hopefully a visual aide can help y'all out, check the video, its less than 3 minutes

Two questions:
1.) Can you receive intel on every XOF patch in-game? I know I found a couple of mine by interrogating guys. I currently have five and would rather not use a guide to find the other four.
2.) Can you kill/evac every soldier on the map so that you can just run around without fear of being spotted?

lol I can see valid points for the short and small amount of content sure, but if you go in with the mindset of get all collectables, S rank on all difficulties to get al the weapons etc it takes time... time that reviewers seem to not care to "waste"
I'm glad you put that in the tags, because I was going to say that.
I don't think Big Boss is Boss enough.
It's the difference between being served a main course with all the trimmings, and being served an appetizer. Most will probably finish the main course without resorting to licking the plate for every gravy molecule, whilst if you were only served an appetizer you would be more inclined to feast on every last crumb..

It's just a pin or two keeping the upper receiver attached. It's a lot easier on a handgun. The Boss was doing it to humiliate him, it's not very practical in the field, especially since Big Boss can subdue someone completely if he's in range to do that. Not to mention that it wouldn't be one fluid motion to do so with a rifle. In short, there's no point, but I'm sure he could do it.
Well even apart from getting up to speed on the storyline playing PW in of itself is a must given how great a game it is. Definitely the most under appreciated game of the franchise.
Oh, okay.
I mean, it could be a way to present the revised version of those initial storylines without actually having to remake the games themselves: show what led up to all that, what was really going on behind the scenes, enough information for the player to extrapolate the v2.0 of Solid Snake's first adventures and just "close the circle" as Big Boss sends him on his mission.
I'd have to check, but I don't think dates were even given in the MSX2 games, actually. Maybe "199X" for Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake?
"1995" and "1999" were mentioned later, during the Metal Gear Solid years, I believe.

Great analogy, I can't wait for the veritable feast of Phantom Pain

Yeah this would be a cool move. I believe Snake did this in the radio drama for PW.
It would be awesome to see the manifestation of Big Boss as a 'legend'.
Imagine being spotted and having an enemy just pretend not to see you, or drop his gun, or something.

Whoa, awesome. Thanks for this. Does the rocket launcher unlock at a certain point? Working as well and I cant remember if I unlocked it after my first try.

I don't think they've ever mentioned a specific year in any MGS except maybe MGS3. The "official" timeline was released at some point, probably in a strategy guide or something.

Does anyone know why
Big Boss is wearing a Fox Patch? I remember some trailer saying "Snake is back on FOX" but it doesn't seem like it was ever explained. I thought Big Boss is still at MSF. The trailer indicated that there's some sort of meaning to it, but I don't see it
Graphics Horse

The Fox Patch was worn in Peace Walker too, it's the same sneaking suit. I'm not sure the reasons.
As someone mentioned before, it's likely just a gesture of respect to his former unit. The trailer was referring to the Fox Engine.

Steve, the dog with no powers that we let hang out with us all for some reason
Mentioned this before but anyway,
it's probably due respect/homage/remembrance for his former unit, in the same fashion than Meryl did with Foxhound while she was working with the UN (and under the Patriots' influence) as Rat Patrol 01.

Ooooof course the Engine! Haha that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks guys!
Someone send these to Kojima.
