This is my biggest complaint with the game. It only saves a checkpoint when leaving or entering a certain area, in orther words you're awarded checkpoints by distance, not by progress. So if you're operating in the same place for a long period of time (as you inevitably will when infiltrating a densely guarded base) you'll get no checkpoints regardless of how much you accomplish. Only a mission critical event- pretty much completing the mission- will lead to a save.
I've had a lot of missions that went perfectly smooth but then something majorly fucked up right at the end, so I restart assuming I'll go to a point near my mistake and instead end up back at the very start of the entire op. Bullshit. It's a huge frustration if you've been exercising patience and taking things slowly for a long while.
End game spoilers.
Also a question, need to clear a doubt.

Couldn't beat metal gear on extreme, mission 50, damn hard.
Was able to leave at just a couple of shots from death and did that lunge attack which killed me.
Does not beating him changes the ending?
Mission 46 is labeled as truth: the man who sold the world

Well, you know, it's not like they can just buy cameras. They need time to research and invent them, first.

how survivable is d-dog? I wanna use him on missions but I'm still pretty sloppy when is comes to stealth and I don't want him to die.
So, are there any other rooms like the one on theI should look out for on Mother Base? I know about that one and themedical platformone. Anything else? If you know, please try to tell me without spoiling what happensBattle Gear Hangar (not that secret)For context: Storywise, I'm at
the very beginning of Chapter 2, just got the AI pod.
Does anybody know the answer to that question? Would be really helpful!
Also, I just unlocked full loyality cutscene for
Quiet
Jesus fucking christ, Kojima. That was waaaaaaay overboard.
Well,
you can go lethal on her. I used a sniper rifle. No need to use tranq guns. She won't die.

I won but it does nothing. And to be honest, I didn't really notice a huge difference in challenge. Maybe I got better.
holy fuck at that spoiler. couldn't you just write man on fire? Or actually let people know that it's not a fucking mission 20 spoiler?
goddamn.

Quiet with sinful butterfly, and use the sawed off double barreled shotgun, pretty sure it outpaces the rocket launchers in killing them... oh and use battle dress, you can survive a few hits with it
Same here. Very curious. I'm at around 10%, 25 hours and that seems really long... That being said it did probably take me like 3 hours to beat Mission 10...

He won't die. He'll be extracted and you won't be able to use him for the rest of that mission. Worry not my friend.

I don't remember which mission it was but I had this issue, too. You can easily spend half an hour on any given mission and have all your progress wiped because of a stupid mistake. At one point you just say "fuck it" and shoot your way out of a situation.

Wow, what fucking bullshit.
They seemed to stress that you needed to bring her in alive. I figured you wouldn't get to use her as a buddy if you killed her using damage weapons. She would have been dead within minutes if I had sniped her.
There's a lot of crappy game design going on here.
Yeah, I'm a bit suspicious about that too. My count seems way too high.
You haven't gotten in the door yet? The fun has yet to start! Lol One of the doors is open. Check every one!

Me and D horse just fell off a cliff while racing to extraction point after a pretty awesome ride..
From memory it's the small door on the west side of the hangar.

Not quite. Resource lists your
Processed Materials - You use these for developing new struts and weapons.
Unprocessed Materials - Keep Score on under Display options to occasionally see your Base Development Unit processing materials. From what I've read it takes like 40-80 minutes and its based on a percentage of unprocessed materials.
Plants - I would keep these. They are not super important but multiple development projects use them.
Vehicles - Keep at least one of each. Never know when you will need one plus sometimes Combat Deployments require them.
Gun Emplacements & Diamonds - Sell these. Emplacements might come in handy in FOB but I don't bother with the online stuff.

Sneak in through the back before he ever even leaves the building. You can straight up grab him and slit his throat.
There should be an entrance to the Southwest of the Airport. Get there quickly with a jeep. A couple guards are on watch at a tower, a guard on the ground, and 2 security cameras but otherwise you should be able to get into the building he is. He's on the second floor. You can get him before he even meets with the other dude and leave for home in time for dinner.
Go to mother base, then hit triangle/Y on the map.

Mission 20 spoilers/question.
Is it possible to extract
I've gotten myself killed intentionally to try again but I can't seem to figure it out since
Is it possible to extract
the man on fire?

I tried putting on the chicken hat, but it doesn't work. Enemies are still shooting at me and the tanks are still gunning for me.
Not to mention they are able to see me through the sand storm which is just plain unfair.
This mission is just plain broken and I am forever stuck on this mission.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to make this mission impossible to abort should have their legs shot off.

No. That kind of thing comes later but you will have to find out on your own
Thanks!

The latter. You won't even see the mission pop up.

You can actually fulton him. However Ocelot says he breaks free but the boss fight ends there and you can call in the chopper whenever you like.

One little annoyance I have with this game Is the ability to use generic soldiers in main missions... I mean it'd be no problem if that was for side-ops but when you're using a generic character and you're on Motherbase and another soldier greets you as "boss" it kind of feels weird. I know in main missions the cutscenes switch the model to Snake but yeah this is an oversight.

A question about beating Mission 43.
I did, and uh, didn't get
I did, and uh, didn't get
Questioning Huey 5 cassette. Any reason for this? I really want it so I can get mission 45.
Just keep trying man. Like I said, lots of cover and lots of running.
Also pay attention to sounds of tanks firing. You can use their reload time as a window.
I just did it, what I ended up doing was setting a C4 trap in the building before hand and detonating it when he met with the inspector, lol.

That one mission is straight up Hitman Blood Money.

Try using all 8 Big Boss "dummies' (with audio upgrades) at the same time. It's a new level of annoyance, lol.

I got in a sketchy situation and Miller fultened him out automatically.
WHAT
BRB
DON"T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really watch when you pick up diamonds it says (xxxx GMP) right away you don't have to sell them.
Man, holy shit. I just had the most amazing moment in this game. I tried running after assassinating a target but the enemy chopper saw me immediately. I call in Pequod for a lift and am crawling through the grass praying enemy soldiers don't find me as I desperately look for an exit point to get to the LZ, the enemy chopper sees Pequod and moves in to take him out. I hear all kinds of gunfire and explosions going on outside the base and then hear the sounds of a chopper crashing, I assume it's my guy.
But no-- I look over the fence and suddenly hear the opening notes of Asia's Only Time Will Tell as Pequod's chopper bursts triumphantly out of the flames having taken down the enemy chopper and like 2 walker gears.

I've been running around. I run and I run, but somehow that white tank that shows up with the chopper always manages to one shot me with pinpoint accuracy. And the one the time it missed, and hit the ground several feet away from me, it still one-shotted me.

I think I'm at the turning point of the game plot wise, and I sense bullshit :x

MGS trailers are good even inside of MGS games.
