I didn't think you could get the transportation specialist until mission 10.
Have a question about
and I'm wondering what I'm supposed to do after finishing their "missions", if anything at all
---Paz---
I extracted the 10 Mother Base Soldiers and gave Paz all the photos (The last one was of Chico). Is there anything else I'm supposed to do, or is this it?

Some of you people need to work on giving some context to your spoilers.
Yea, this game is my Zen. Quiet kinda fucks with it, but running from base to base with DD smiling up at you is pure fun. I'm about 40 hours in, and I'm only on mission 17 with 23% overall.
Saw talk about GZ being better and I can't agree with that. I've owned multiple copies of every game in the series, but mgs4 was just unfun for me. The corridors were too narrow and the boss fights were terrible. The ride with Eva being a special highlight of how bad it was.
I love the series for its story, but it was time Kojima got an editor. I love the new direction he went in TPP, the camera moves and bite sized cutscenes really help move it along. At first I hated the intro, I can't stand cinematic corridors, but then it started opening up, and by the end your kinda doing a decent movement tutorial.
But what I really love is how open the world is. I understand lovers of the sailing in wind waker now, kind of. Nothing like setting my marker, and sprinting across the field, with different tactics rolling in my head. GZ is a walled playground that makes you feel like you're trapped. TPP, I lose line of sight and I can run to the other side and try again, or leave and go to the base that's my actual target.
I will agree this is nothing like any other MGS; this is the only one where I actively put off boss missions as long as possible. Also, first time I'd rather play than listen to the codes, which I even sat through for MGR, which was the best Metal Gear game since 3. Tapes are a godsend in that regard.
Most of all, I feel this is Kojima's Hobbit, where he's just shoving anything and everything fans could want, especially the inventory of weapons and tools that will keep me coming back to this game.

And done with the true ending.
Imagine those controls and mechanics combined with the tight maps of mgs3 and the indoor environments of mgs1/2.
Open world needs to die in a fire. Not only did it not do the game any good, but it added hours and hours of boring and pointless helicopter flights and running and horse riding.
Big Boss opening and closing that damned helicopter door will be forever engraved on my brain.
As a huge fan of the series I'll pretend everything after 3 never happened.

Just finished Chapter 1 and went online to see what people thought of the 'ending'. WHOOOPS. I ran into a major spoiler.
It's too bad that the game is broken up into two big chunks like this. It appears to be a traditional open world game with an ending for the main story and then a bonus scene when you complete all of the side activities, but apparently not. I'd like to be able to talk about chapter 1's story but will have to wait until I beat everything to do so. Am I really only halfway through the game? Is chapter 2 just as big as chapter 1?

There's a side op in Laamar Klute place with three prisoners. Do it at night and extract all three prisoners. The transportation specialist is one of those three prisoners.

People don't know how to put spoiler tags here. It's like they don't even read the damn OP where it says how to do it.
Just saw it through to the end of Quiet's story arc (mission
)... I like the conclusion. Now for a quick break, and then time for a final mission. All in all, while I have some issues with the overall design philosophy and the flow of the game (
), when all is said and done, it was one hell of a ride and probably the best title I played this gen so far. Now, only thing left to see if the ending can leave me puzzled for a few days!

Chapter 2
Whoaaaaaaaaa hooooooooooooo
That took me around 170 hours.. Now I feel empty, I don't know what to do with my life, lol. Never platinum'd the previous MGS's but I felt like I should just do it with this one because it's the last MGS that matters.
Farewell my favorite franchise..

i tried to search but i'm worried about spoilers. please answer this in the most non-spoiler way possible. is there any consequence to doing
?
episode 46 before doing side-op 150
This game desperately needs more locations and different outposts.. possibly closer to each other than they're now since I spend half my time going from point to point. Even a level editor would be great to expand its longevity, because at 10% I had already seen everything in Afghanistan. Basically, I think the new Hitman formula would fit this MGS quite nicely. The gameplay is too good but it feels wasted here. Strange to think that there's enough room for a lot of unique military bases / villages but they filled them with.. rocks.

When you put it like that.. I'm going to play them all again back to back when I've finished this to see where TPP stands. I love this game though.
Impressive work! Longest plat ever? It does seem like a 150+ hour for the full 100%
A couple questions (post-game)
1. Where can I find some S Rank people? I'm swimming in A+ and A++, but I haven't seen any S Ranks in the field yet.
2. How do I unlock the side-op to eliminate
I read somewhere they open up after Mission 32, but I've got nothing so far.

the puppet soldiers?
I don't think so. I did 46 before and then I had to max out my bond level with Quiet and I basically just unlocked Mission 45 now.

I don't understand the base management aspect at all. Why do I have to hogtie and parachute everyone that is already on the base?
You don't, that's just Ocelot giving you the tutorial of fultoning

That time when you get told you have a moment
(right before the missile tank and the 2 apc's show up), haul ass to where they stop, plant 4 c4 each, fire 2 missiles into the missile tank (that should kill it), then sprint back the the prison cell on the right and open it, but don't go in yet, now head behind it and wait for the apc's, blow them up with c4.
Go back inside the prison cell and pick up the fully loaded GROM, now run behind the blue buildings and stay there.
Take out the chopper, the apc, while poking out to see if the super saiyan tank is over the hill yet, then just safely take potshots at it.

Codetalker extreme.
Thank! And yeah for me definitely, I have 35 other platinums and none of them took that long. But I'd imagine that there are other games that would take much longer to plat.

You don't? That's just to show you how that stuff works. I mean, you CAN if you feel like dicking around afterwards, but it's not required for anything as far as I know.

I feel I'm gonna enjoy the true ending just by seeing how many people are angry with it. I feel like a bad person.
Maybe it's that bad that I'll be angry. Well, I'm gonna have to enter with an open mind!

How the fuck do I control D-Walker? I feel like I'm missing something between Walk Mode and Drive Mode

If I just ignore staff management altogether will it sort itself out?
Just hit R3 at the management screen.

It's the exact opposite of Snake Eater. Vomits story in beginning and then peters off...

Yup, just started it. It feels like they made an amazing foundation and a little more than 1/3rd of an actual game. Game probably needed another year at least.

I haven't gotten that far yet, but how can a game that's been in development for 5 years be as unfinished as people are saying?
Unless you want to nab certain research projects faster, then yes.

I just started Chapter 2, 6 of the 9 available missions are reduxes of Chapter 1 missions. I feel like they just didn't have time to finish the actual story missions
I would've found it more believable if
he stumbled on Paz by himself but he actually hallucinated Miller and Ocelot telling him they found her. That just makes it weird IMHO.
EDIT: Then again, this is Metal Gear.
