Started playing this yesterday and I can't believe what I'm seeing...
An actual MGS with "reload checkpoint" option? Has the world stopped spinning?
That said, the game looks absolutely amazing. Love the new gameplay as well, although i'm still a bit confused by all the options you have. It's like every button has at least 3 functions and every section on the iDroid 4 sub-sections. Will take me a bit to get used to it.

Thanks, that makes sense.
Yea this is shit.
Despite regularly using combat deployment to take care of helmet, shield and body armour as soon as they pop up (the pop up every hour and take half an hour to finish, so I have like 30 mins before they pop up again wtf) the enemies are still wearing them and have them in abundance.
Something's wrong.

I have two questions.
First, is changing the color and emblem the only options to customize Mother Base ?
Second, I can't find
on Mother Base. Spoilertagged character was seen in the gamescom gameplay demo.
Edit: I have a third question, when do I get headgear ? I am now over 20 hours in, 4 buddies and still have nothing to equip on that slot.
Edit2: If you see Ocelot on base, try to tranquilize him

MGS donkey takes no shit from nobody.
I had it worse once.
> dropped a flare thinking the chopper would extract me
> chopper didn't extract me, started shooting every guy in sight, even ones I wanted to extract by chopper
> I started sprinting after the couple of A and A+ guys I wanted
> chopper shoots the first one while I'm 50 feet away
> literally on the heels of the second when chopper shoots him to bits
I was raging.
I now know, however, that you can call off the chopper from the Buddy Support menu. Sigh.
I figured those ops would be pure waste of time to do, this post just confirms it.
Shame.
Yeah, color and emblem are only customization if you don't count building more platforms.
Finding characters in MB is nearly impossible when outside of some specific cutscenes when arriving or entering certain building
Also would love to know about headgear, WTB bandana.
Edit:
Heard panicked whining of donkey, turned around just to see donkey running and DD flying across my screen. Sounded like it was painful
You can play the 12 aquired cassettes over it to have varying effect on guards/animals etc...

Post mission 31 spoilers:
Ocelot says I can deploy the battle gear with my combat unit but I don't see how? Do I just select a dispatch mission that requires a vehicle?
I'm not 100% certain, but I think those missions are region-specific. I think they'll either affect it for Afghanistan or (other region spoiler)
Africa
Also A) it's a temporary measure, and B) you should use other tactics anyway, that's what the game's trying to tell you. If you use a mix of all tactics, the enemies don't know which armour/gear to wear to prevent you. That's what I do and every enemy has a weakness

Yeah, I was wondering that too. There are two options for me,
Kill and Quiet.
Pfff, I am not dancing to your tune, Kojima.
(Chapter 11)
(Chapter 11)
I put Quiet on the helicopter and then proceeding to go for Emmerich, wondering why the helicopter wouldn't leave. I left the hot zone of foot and was slightly amused when Big Boss apparently decided to walk back to helicopter to travel with her :,D Just force us to come with the helicopter if you want it to happen.
Also: I was hyped when I was suddenly attacked by a sniper and the episode screen popped up. However the fight was a lot less epic that what people here described. I had my tranq sniper with me. Shot her, whereupon she ran, thanks to D-Dog tagging her shortly after I shot her again and this five times until I got her. It was strangely uneventful.
It was especially hillarious because I turned a simple camp raid accidently in a bloody mess due sheer incompetence a few minutes back.

how to get containers out of the

Go to the 'Buddy Support' space on the Mission tab on your iDroid. You can choose 'Quiet (scout)' or 'Quiet (attack)'.
Also keep saying 'Quiet' to her and giving her orders and her 'affiliation' with you will level up and she can do new things.
It doesn't say that in the Battle Dress's information field.
It does say that in the Sneaking Suit information field.
So no.
Oh, you're right lol. Wonder why I thought it would.
Gonna stick with the sneaking suit, then.

How long does it take for a guy you've extracted to come out of the brig?
Only the
later missions require Battle Gear. Do more dispatch missions basically.
Considering how unnecessarily complex the menus in this game are it's not like you'll do that quickly.
I seriously sometimes have a hard time finding an option and it's really odd that some options like customize are only available in the chopper for no good reason. Also having to confirm lots of things over and over is a bit tedious.
WTF is it with Japanese developers having no grasp of user interface design?
I've killed tons of people and blew stuff up..still got s ranks. It's really nice, you can sabotage equipment..just dont get caught!

Do you think there's a prize for finishing the game without killing people? I mean, it wouldn't make sense since the game saves your score and you can have S rank with dead enemies.
Because I love being a hero but sometimes I would like to try some Rambo-style kills.

wow awesome! This opens up many playstyles and playthroughs now!
What's with some side ops still marked as light color even though they also show that I've completed them? Is it because I missed something or didn't do a good enough job or what? I understand that for the MB training missions as there you can improve your time if you want but what about normal side ops?
In some ways I think MGSV is a masterpiece of interface design. In others... Not so much.
When you think about it, at any given moment you probably have 40+ actions you can perform. Maybe even almost 100. I think it's quite an achievement they even fit all of that into an interface at all.
However, I think we should be able to browse all Tips and look through them by category. If the loading screen gave you a 'Browse tips' button so you could just spend a minute taking in new techniques, that would short-circuit so many problems that game has and so many problems players have.
Haha, yep, it's a game where reading every bit of info and working out what's on your menu screen is important
Sneaking Suit is great, just don't use it in daytime missions unless you're travelling, sniping, or have a clear path with lots of bushes.
Yeah, rank is 85% about speed and efficiency, 15% about your style/approach. If you see an opportunity to shoot in, complete the objective, and shoot out, quickly and efficiently, just go with that. Go with whatever's easiest and rest easy in the knowledge you can replay any mission with ease to explore or do it the opposite way
As far as I can tell, under 15 minutes is a pretty good milestone for getting an S-rank, though some missions will be way shorter. Things that help a lot:
- rescuing multiple prisoners
- extracting your objectives rather than destroying/killing them
- no reflex mode
- not getting shot much (even if you're spotted)
Think it just means you can play them again for more money/extractions.

Is the security team important at all if I dont plan to connnect online and create an FOB?
This stuff is definitely on a mission-by-mission basis. You get rewarded with emblems and maybe trophies/achievements for not killing anyone in many missions but in terms of gameplay rewards or ranks, don't worry about it. You're free to go Rambo-style as much as you want. Each mission is isolated and closed-off, basically.

Those tanks are blind as shit. I parked my horse in the middle of the road and laid some C4 right in front of him with some gaps, they tankbeep at the horse to move it. C4 wrecked the jeep, barely scratched the tanks. Didn't set off alerts, though. The tanks just twisted their things around and said "huh! An explosion, dunno where!" Second tank stopped to report they "found" a body (the jeep that exploded like 10 feet in front of it) which let the first one break away. Dumped 3 more c4 right under it, nothing. Tank barely stopped. Got frustrated and just started whipping grenades, still nothing. No alerts, no blown up tank. Pulled out a shotgun and just started strafing around the turret in a circle pumping it full of shots. After about two clips, it finally blew up. Dude didn't see me or do anything besides rotate the top bit in a circle.

That side op where you get Huey Emmerich is all I wanted from a Metal Gear Solid game. BADASS. Took me a long time too and only ranked a C, but holy shit did I had fun sneaking my way through it. And that ending! WOOOOOW.
That's why I play MGS.
That's why I play MGS.
I havn't even watched the torture/interrogation scene yet, I just had to take a break, that was too much awesomeness in one sitting.
I didn't have the tranq sniper or DD at that point, so I had to run from cover to cover and get close/throw grenades to get her. Very tense.
Since there isn't a score penalty for each person you kill any more, I've been getting Rank S relatively frequently. Even when taking on Episode 16 since
. I
in Episode 18, and I still got an S Rank.
It feels like cheating, a bit.
I waited until the truck stopped at the first outpost and crawled closer, starting the sudden Skull battle. Yet since I wasn't seen, I snuck into the tank and took them all out with it. Which didn't count as kills. So, somehow, S Rank on my first attempt while fighting the skulls (though I failed to catch the truck on the first attempt overall.)
completely wiped out the camp of every living thing besides the prisoners
It feels like cheating, a bit.
