Spoiler this, mate. Did nothing to my experience but others will not want to know this is even in the game.
edit: sorry, didn't spoiler the quoted spoiler!
Which probably is more telling that there are too many options and it could be streamlined a lot without losing anything. Development screen could be easier to browse, in base development it would be nice to see which platforms actually need upgrades (are almost full) and what the requirements are without clicking each one etc. Just lots of small things that amount to a mess.
I've actually just used the sneaking suit all the time even in daytime. Seems to just require a bit more crawling though I haven't tried how big of a difference there is with them noticing you from a distance. I don't really like having to slowly crabwalk up to an enemy if you're not using it. Where's my desert camo sneaking suit damn it! I wish they just made it easy to change suits should you want to.
Yea it's great, one of the things i love to do at the moment is placing traps all over the base while im completing my objective to keep the guards occupied. If im about to get caught or need more distraction i set off the c4's i've placed around the base or on their equipment which gives me annother window of opportunity to do what needs to be done to complete the mission. It's so good
Actually I made a mistake: I am actually talking about the R&D shooting mission. My top score is maybe 21. I've tried night vision goggles, following the targets, nothing is working. I always get horribly lost or make the wrong turn. Can I fire the guy who installed these at Mother Base?

Go to base. Call a helicopter. Push square I think when on the helicopter to fly between struts. On map push triangle. Enjoy.
You have to do the
legendary bear
I was 20h in and triangle didnt appeared to me on the map until I did the said side op.

I'll give it a shot. Thank you
Well there is if you consider you get a no kills bonus if you don't kill anyone. Fulton everyone seems to work quite well for some of the bases.
Not really, that mission only popped up for me some 40 hours in but I've had the sanctuary for a long long time now. It all depends on how many animals you have captures I think.
It's not really a penalty though, and the score bonus is not that big, 5,000 for no kill and 10,000 for no kill and alert. So 15,000 in total. You can get S pretty easily going lethal. Time being the most important factor which you can cut down on quite a bit if you go lethal. Hell I think a panther playstyle (lethal but silent) would probably be the best way to get S.

What? How the hell did I describe any of it? With Badass? and woooow? Get over yourself, I described absolutely nothing other than it being awesome. Anyone that reads the post simply knows that it's a great side op and that's it.
What am I spoiling exactly? The freaking title of the side op has his name in it. It's not a spoiler, hell it's a side op that I got at 13% in the game with 11 main missions completed but was doable even before that!
People, please use spoilers.

Yup. Great mission. The one right after it is good as well.
It's a confusing one but there is sort of a path to it. I think the biggest problem is getting on it from the start. I do it so that I first shoot the targets on top, then go to the nearest stairwell, shoot the targets there, then go back up and jump down to the platform where there's a target out of sight (so you have to drop there before you can shoot it). Then drop down on the air vents next to the big pipe and go from there. The mission is basically trying to get you to learn to travel the base by means other than stairs so most of the targets are near areas where you can see or go from a small catwalk or pipe or something. Also notice that after you fail you can go look for where the missed targets are.

Rude reply, and to answer your question, the fact that
Huey is alive and there is a mission to get him
Good to know thanks.
Sorry about that, I've edited my post, didn't think this would be considered spoiler.

Anyone see the
in the helicopters window ?
reflection
He has been featured in pre release videos though, even motherbase stuff.
For starters it's a side ops mission
that turns into a long story heavy mission

Seriously, mission 14! Some frustrating fucking shit.
Oh wow just had a great moment. Played two straight hours of side ops with my custom playlist running in the backgroud and JUST after I called in the Chopper for extraction this starts to play.

Perfect coincidence as it is the only ED I have in my custom playlist.
Also: "When September Ends" by Green Day is a GREAT fit for MGS V.

yea where is this ? everyone talks about it and I have looked everywhere in there.
Great attitude, just what I want to see in an OT
Which a bunch of people haven't watched, I'd imagine.
That's true. I think the development screen is OK, but I think far more options could go on the L1 radial menu. Eg chopper support commands, which could go along the bottom without issue. Or more buddy support commands eg (why isn't "Quiet (Scout)" or "Quiet (Attack)" on there? Would be fine if that was there and opened the iDroid automatically).
Also why isn't "Return to the ACC" on the iDroid menu? It's stupid that it's on the pause menu. It's a gameplay event, not a system event.
FYI I find it pretty useful/easy to just call in new camo under 'Supply drop' > 'Weapons/items' in the iDroid Missions menu.
When it's getting dark, I call in sneaking suit. When it's getting light, I call in desert camo (or animal camo if in second map). Even within an enemy base it's usually quite easy to find a corner where you can get a drop.
Yea it's great, one of the things i love to do at the moment is placing traps all over the base while im completing my objective to keep the guards occupied. If im about to get caught or need more distraction i set off the c4's i've placed around the base or on their equipment which gives me annother window of opportunity to do what needs to be done to complete the mission.

Phenomenal idea. I always plant C4 around the base but don't want to cause alerts/raise alert status.
It's probably a worthwhile trade-off to keep the guards distracted.
Can you spoil what it is? I can't check atm
Still, I think not tagging characters that have been in pre release videos are ok. That'd be like mentioning Ocelot or Kaz are in the game to someone who hasn't seen any pre release material...I don't think you'd consider that spoilery now would you? We always knew he was alive and only died later from a suicide when his son had an affair with his wife. That would obviously happen much later because his son would be too young for that now.
Then you can say that it's spoilery for people who haven't played the other games and we could keep going on and on
The details on that mission though that's spoilery.

If you really wanna see it, you have to wait until the dead of night.
Maybe so. Some people are so sensitive to spoilers that I aim to tag anything I could ever imagine could be spoilery to someone for the first days to weeks of the OT.
Hell, I'm super sensitive to spoilers, part of the reason why I do it, I guess.
Baldwin.
A) It doesn't matter whether you spoil something from the first 2 hours of the game, or the first 20.
I played that mission after 20 hours. If I was on hour 15 and I read your post, you would have spoiled an important mission, and important character's presence/situation for me. 13% isn't saying much when it's a long game with very sporadic story elements.
B) This is a spoiler-free thread. Any time you mention a story-related character who isn't a cover-character, we should be spoiler-tagging. I've been bad by wantonly talking about Quiet's presence and abilities so much.
C) People who can't even play the game yet/have been on media blackout may occasionally pop into this thread, and if they see posts like yours, you may ruin things for them.
Have a bit of empathy. It takes nothing to spoiler-tag.

On mission 4 so far... this game is fucking amazing. Everything I've wanted out of a stealth game. If the quality of gameplay continues I'd go so far to say it might top Chaos Theory.
Yea but overdoing it is annoying too.
Like someone was complaining that naming a gun was spoilery...what the shit?

Is there a way to jump in the chopper via air pick up during side ops and have it take you to another landing zone without going back to the ACC? If there is, how?

You do have to be close, but I have used it a lot and found it very helpful. It great for luring guards into buildings.

I know that, I also know that I had not given any hint about it either. I would have even put in spoilers the fact that
it turns into a mission as whole instead of leaving "turns into"
Come on. He mentioned none of the details pertaining to the mission other than it's awesome and long. If people are on media blackout to the point where they don't want to know basic characters in the game then they should probably be playing the game instead. This is ridiculous.
It is possible actually. In the little village they pass through there's a mortar that's pretty well placed. I neutralized the guards and then proceeded to blow the shit out of the tanks with the mortar when they came around the corner. I'd already died several times on previous attempts when trying to use my rocket launcher and armored vehicle, so it was pretty satisfying.

Oh yes.
I can't spoil anything for you though but there are other environments later.
Yes please, if you can PM me
