Sounds pretty tight. Have you tested it out yourself to make sure you plugged all the potential holes?
Solid Snake ate Sunny's eggs for you
They are...or you can sell them. Too bad you cant use them while on a mission with Quiet or DDog, like you can with other vehicles.

They'd be filler if you had to do them, but you absolutely don't need to.
Also, certain missions lend themselves to particular specialty restrictions more than others.

Duh.. I didn't think of the combat deployments. Guess I'll keep a few of each type around.
Yeah I was hoping I could call one in mid-mission and use it along with a buddy. No idea why you shouldn't be able to since you can capture them in-game and use them that way.

I did countless missions, destroying storages full of helmets, body armors etc but everywhere I go, those fuckers are still wearing helmets, armor and so on.

Spoilers I guess for 16:
Is there any point in following the armored vehicles early on in the mission after you have already done that part and died so you know where the truck is?
Is there anything preventing you from just heading straight to the airport?

Depends on the level of the deployment.
2-20 but you need that to make AND deploy it everytime you deploy with it.
No, nothing is preventing you from doing that. In fact one of the side objectives/"listening" will start there before you follow. But for a fast S-rank you can land and run over there and start the mission proper.
I found it on the road, but airport.
Also how do they know to follow you around even if undetected.

Just got my first 'S' Rank and I didn't even think what I did was that special, haha.
It was an early mission where I had to find and kill 3 high ranking dudes. The first guy I knew his route so I put some C4 down and blew up his jeep as he drove over it (almost killing myself in the secondary explosion of the jeep, haha).
Then I went to the village the other 2 went to and sneaked around for a while until I stumbled on both of them getting into a jeep. I didn't even realize it was them until the guy on the radio said they were heading out, so I whipped out my grenade launcher and blew them up too.

Have you finished the game? Hell naw. Knowing the ending Solid Snake all the way
Yes, deploy.
IE: If you're going to play a mission, the "sortie" screen is the deployment. You pick those items
Stealth, Hand of Jehuty, special stuff
Look at your deployment cost next time you're in that screen. You need flowers/fuel/etc. for certain items on deployment depending on the level of the item used.
This is in addition to the development cost that requires some to make the item. But once that's done there's a deployment cost to use it.

whaaaat.. haven't finished this game (I'm still a long way from that), but Big Boss had such a amazing and complex story compared to Solid Snake (which, for me, was just the good guy that gets the job done and nothing more)

You upgrade your bino's as the game moves along. They let you see what rank and skills a person has. Takes a while to get the top tier people.
make sure you destroy the coms, the power supply and the anti-air radar..
that way they will be "half naked" next time you visit (not literally)
you need to upgrade the binoculars, after an upgrade or 2 your will start seeing the rank of the scanned soldier..
the more the rank of the soldier, the more upgrades you will need to see that rank, for example, you won't be able to see a S+ rank soldier right away, you need an upgrade for that, else, that rank in that area will appear as ???

This is true. On mission 16 ignore everything and leg it round the back of the airport, theres a gap in the barbed wire fence you can hop over. Immediately ignore the skulls, fulton the truck, call d-horse and run like hell out of the hot zone.
Easiest s-rank in the whole game.
by the way, you will never find a A+ or S rank solider so early in the game, you need more heroism and more missions to find someone like that
And those of us who played MG1 and MG2 know that Solid Snake is the one who is better than Big Boss.
I played both and don't know why you are saying this.. in fact, Solid Snake is played like a damn fiddle by Big Boss..
a fight doesn't determine who's "better"

Yeah, V is a great game, but it's one of my least favorites in the series for reasons I'm not even going to bother getting into. I'm not done yet, early chapter 2 but I don't think much will change at this point. Also not including online otherwise 4 would probably be my favorite in the series.
Dood I gotta ask - where oh where did you get that shirt?
we don't know online for MGSV still.. it's being launched until october, and I'm pretty sure it will be a hell of a ride since MGSV controls so well
If Konami isn't too busy running spas and gyms and pachinko machines and being the yakuza I think I'm more than ready for someone other than Kojima to write an MGS story. They can keep most of the gameplay here maybe narrow the scope and focus more on infiltrating facilities and not all fultoning, but there's no way someone else could do a worse job in a narrative sense.

Still early(M19), but I don't get the BB love. Dude has negative personality. He kind of did in 3, but that's all gone now.

I had over
900 people when that happened
put over 300 people into quarantine by hand
Question about a situation on Mother Base after mission 25..
I had to leave right when this quarantine stuff started. I missed what they said about who can't get infected and it's not in my log because I had to shut off the system. Did they say only males can be infected?
Also, could someone let me know if I'm on the right track for this? From what I can tell it's 3 languages that all the people in the quarantine have in comon...

Holy ****ing shit. What the ****?
Did amazing on the rescue Emmerich mission. Not seen once, took out loads of guards silently. Disabled all communications and air support equipment etc.
Anyway I accidentally left the mission area (which I didn't know you could do) while running from the 'thing' and it's taken me all the way back to the power plant and the first cutscenes there. That's absolutely awful game design. It could have at least asked me if I wanted to quit to mission.
So angry at this right now :/

Fuck that. Metal Gear's wackiness is what makes it Metal Gear. I've always felt that the appeal of Metal Gear is that it's in some ways outsider art. It's the mish-mash of the intrigue of western spy thrillers with the over the top spectacle and zaniness of anime that gives Metal Gear it's identity.

I think thats the basis of my no fucks given aproach
doesn't the screen start to get a glitch narrowed effect while miller says "Boss, you're leaving the mission area"?
It seemed so for me. Russian, English, and Kikongo. But now I'm starting to think it's just Kikongo.
I'm with you that Solid is the man and all, but he bare knuckle brawl did jack shit to save the world. Fight was over at that point, it was just two old men punching it out just because they had nothing left to do.
Still, a pretty great end to a real mixed bag of a game.
