Omg no way, I totally missed that. Thanks very much... That is one of my favorite episode's. Amazing design, did you
climb the huge red tower and look across the airport, awesome view
Ah cool, thanks!
Yeah, I bought the 6k coins pack, but I was only able to purchase one FoB.
It took a couple of tries because I was starting to fuck up from tiredness, but when I finally completed the mission
I sneaked all the way in from the right side of the airport. I took out two guys on walkers silently, fultoned them without being spotted, and stashed the walkers away in the hanger. I crawled under the truck and planted 8 C4s (lol) as insurance in case I failed it to it right this time. Waited for the two motherfuckers I arrive. Let them have their chat before taking them out with tranq pistol, and I even managed to fulton both without the gunship spotting me.
It seemed all good... then somehow as I was sneaking out of the hanger the gunship spotted me. FUCK. Lucky I had those two walkers stashed away, because I got into one and just ran the fuck out by the entrance, shooting everything in my way. I reached the jeep I parked outside the airport. Got into it, and then BAM the gunship destroyed it. Somehow I survived, and ran back to the walker in red health and managed to just barely outrun the gunship out of the hot zone.

Yup!
You can redo any main op you have completed at any time. You can only redo side ops you have completed when they become available again randomly.

You can re-visit the main op mission and recruit her.

So what's the advantage to playing a mission as someone other than Snake? Is it simply to take advantage of a particular Specialist Skill, or can you rank up MB members ranks this way?
Well for one, there's a trophy/achievement for it!

Man the "auto focus" of the int-scope and rifle scopes is really really shit.
If there is ANYTHING in front of what I wanna see it's gonna blur out the background.
So like if I am trying to snipe some one and there are powerlines between us the game is gonna "focus" on the powerlines because they're closer and blur out the target behind it. It's really annoying.

I have played only once with a female S+ soldier and she was awesome, very fast.

Haha. I think I would rather put on a podcast and grind out the easy Side Ops then get frustrated over difficult stuff. I usually play my games on easy, anyway.

Woah! Where did you find the S+ soldier?
Wait, what? All of mine are grey apart from the ones I have all objectives complete.

I don't know, she was there suddenly. Maybe one of the side ops where you need to extract a special soldier.
I was so bad at MGS2 and 3 that I make Drew 'grenades are stealthy' Scanlon look like Big Boss. It's weird because I was great at MGS1, I had the PC version and actually cleared the VR missions before I ever touched the main game. But in MGS1 you can kill every guard stealthily with neck snaps and never worry about the consequences. Hiding bodies and staying out of sight was not my strong point, and I never understood how camo and CQC worked in 3. It all just felt like an inconsistent frustrating mess.
But after watching Uknighted stream for a while I basically had a revelation and realized how you're supposed to play these games. When I finally got around to 4, while I hadn't actually watched them play that game, I had a better understanding of why nonlethal was good and how camo worked. I haven't revisited 2 and 3 yet but I bet I'd be good at them now.
Anyways, cue MGS5 where I have all that knowledge on top of controls that aren't awkward as fuck and I get S ranks more often than not. Feels good.

Do I need to spend time with FOBs to improve my
when I unlock that function?

Thanks. Only took a few minutes, not bad at all. If only The End were that easy.....oh, she got away anyway haha.
My first S rank though so that was exciting.

You should still be able to choose the mission, even if they are greyed out.
The missions just keep getting better and better, incentivizing one to explore outposts en route to main objectives, changing the way missions play out. It's also fun scanning areas for audio to find new cassettes. Sometimes it gets so over the top, but I am getting really, really good at the stealth game. If I didn't have to keep tending to the grill and sides and guests I'd be so much farther. I love this game as much as I enjoyed Witcher 3. Which was a lot. Kojima still go it. Glad the series is going out on a high note. The very first MG on the NES was my jam.

I like the game a lot but I can't help but feel its the weakest overall game in the mainline games. It has the best gameplay for sure, but the story and everything else brings it down imo and just makes it much less memorable than the other ones.
Are you
still in dream?
this game is actually fun though, as someone with ZERO interest in ubisoft checklists. And I haven't run into any fully game-breaking playthrough-ending bugs yet so it has that over Far Cry 2 at least.
I am starting to get a bit worn out on side missions so I'm probably going to make a hard push on the story tonight after I'm done my workout. I'm curious why everyone is shitting on it considering how many great gameplay moments I've had up until now. It's not like anything will be able to erase the fun I already had but hey we'll see. Maybe Revolver Ocelot will crawl out of my computer screen and take a piss on my cat, that's about what it would take.
I did the same actually. Sometimes I wonder why I'm clearing a generic outpost for the 500th time (outside of capturing A+ soldiers) and then something like this happens.

Nice!
S+ what the deuce?!
A couple additional questions:
1. What does the 'x' next to a staff members name mean? Does that indicate they can't be used because they are on a combat deployment?
2. Is there any way to permanently assign members to a particular unit? It seems like the game randomly assigns members to a unit for each mission, and then I have to manually go in and adjust.
Ha! I'm on MGS3 of Solid Scanlon and he does favor his grenades.
I too, got really good at MGS1. Played that official Playstation Magazine demo like crazy and got good.
Never found my footing with 2 or 3. I wasn't bad by any means but I wasn't a fox. Did ok in 4 but if things went bad I dealt with it because of the better shooting controls.
Also, Splinter Cell should me what a true stealth experience was and now we've come full circle with MGS5 taking the reins back.
Yeah, I'm getting more s-ranks too.

Folks weren't kidding about episode 29.
MGSV turned to infamous second son for a moment there.

Can you stun the guys on the bipeds? I don't want to mess up 20 minutes of mission trying to find out.
