whats the deal with this game..i just started playing it again..

i cant even make it through the forest at the beginning without getting pummeled..i have a tranq gun and a knife..i can take out a couple soldiers but after a while there are so many taht even if you put one out with the t gun another sees it and reports you..and once you are reported and the backup comes out..forget it..youre history..

i cant get that dude out of the building without 10 million people coming after me..

has anyone beat this..what the hell??

I'd like to check it out...if it's as sweet as the original Metal Gear was for NES.

i think i have about 100 roms for nes, i just got done playing mike tyson

I found it easy, the part where you get Sokolov out of the abandoned factory, I just went in and destroyed everyone with the assault rifle and the shotgun, actually that's what I did in most of the game.

Another tip - always try and use the sniper rifle, it's really useful, and remember to hide them bodies. eg. in grass or in dark areas.

So illegal! but so dang fun!

MGS3 is an amazing game, probably in my top 3 favorite PS2 games. I didn't find it to be that hard, but I'm a veteran of the Metal Gear Solid series. I'm not sure if you've played the other games, but if you haven't then it'll take some getting used to. It's all about stealth. Keep your camo index high (the percentage in the upper right). Use the tranq gun at closer range, drag and hide the bodies somewhere away from the other's patrol routes. Use the sniper rifle on isolated enemies at a distance, so that others can't hear the gunshot or aren't close enough to the intended target to notice.

where did you get all of these weapons??

how can you fire at anoyne without the other soldiers in the area not noticing and calling for help

AK-47: Rassvet the factory, there is only one set of stairs in the area, the AK-47 is on the platform at the top.

M37 Shotgun: Virtuous Mission location: Rassvet the factory, south of the only stairs in the area, next to the crates.

SVD Sniper: Virtuous Mission location: Dremuchij North in the jungle, when you come across a path to your right, follow it to it's end to find this gun on the ground.

XM16E1 Assault Rifle: Virtuous Mission location: Dolinovadno, cross the bridge, then follow the narrow path to your left which curves around and leads under the bridge.



Just storm in there and don't worry about getting caught, as long as you gather these weapons you will have no problem against the soldiers and will soon defeat them all.

The only weapons you need are the survival knife and the tranq gun. Aside from isolated instances where you need to use the TNT and the directional mic, I got through the entire game just using the tranq gun. Going that route also has the added benefit of unlocking a few Easter eggs along the way.

I might have to try that for a challenge

yeah i just got through the virtuous mission..

i got a bad 1st impression..looks like 1 badass game

i like the characters..it seems like it will tie in with mgs2..major "zero" mentions the patriots and says somethin like lulalilalu (or whatever..dont remember when but they say this in 2)..this game looks to take a chunk outta my days..

i cant wait to beat on those fuckers..the electric dude, the hornet guy, ocelot..maybe the boss, but it seems she digs snake..theres somthing up with that..

dont tell me what happens..im starting to like this one a lot..

All I'll say is that one of the coolest fights/boss battles ever is with The End. I think that was my favorite part of the game.

yeah last one was weak..i tore that dude up with the sword easily....now the 50 metal gears you had to kill before that, that was another story

I don't mean the end fight of the game; I mean the boss, "The End."

Is this the one where you can throw a live snake at someone?

j.

yeh

hes the old dude right..ill fuck him up..

i like the vampire in the last one and the mindreader in the ps1 metal gear

Is it very effective?

j.

Never tried it, actually. Something to do in future playings.

that fight was awesome. It wasn't hard or anything, but it took forever, at least it did for me.
