I'm usually at a B, I have a few S ratings, haven't dropped below a C yet. I go stealth and Fulton the fuck out of people for mother base, also got my Fulton level up enough to get the big containers too now which is awesome. Some missions are too hard to do without killing though, anytime you have to sneak into a main base you're probably gonna wind up killing somebody. It's gonna take an age to complete, I've been playing about 17 hours and I'm 16% complete, just finished Ep 22. Mother Base is currently 2/4 for command platform, 1/4 for all the others. Also have a FOB base in the North Pacific now. Got about 260 odd soldiers in my crew. I'm gonna spoiler some tips that might help people not so far in, because some missions are a fuck about if you don't have certain things. You'll need to develop RPGs and grenade launchers because you'll get missions where you need to take out tanks, and trying to do it with C4 and grenades is a fuck off. Also develop shotguns, because they're the only thing that work on Fire Man. Any time you face the SKULLS you'll also need an RPG because everything else is shit on them. You'll come across a side mission when you're going to the power plant where you have to face a sniper. When the battle is over don't kill the sniper, because you have the option of them becoming one of your buddies, and having a sniper on missions with you is a million times better than having a horse.

I'm at 13%, through Ep13, and I have everything at 2/4 at Mother Base. Collecting resources like a motherfucker. {SPOILER} As for the sniper, how'd you do it, jaffers? I found a really cheap trick that I only tried out of frustration. Supply drop onto her head, two hits and she's out. One of my favourite ways of knocking out awkward guards as well.

Loool that's a good method. I just sniped her back, would find out where she was by standing up straight and letting her target me then duck down. Then crouch behind a rock and get just to the edge, force her to fire into the rock then pop out and crack a head shot off.
I could probably go 2/4 on everything, I've got a fuck load of resources and about 2 million GMP.

I'm up to Episode 31. Games fucking colossal... Kojima really wasn't exaggerating when he said this was 200 times bigger than GZ and worried that it'd be too big to finish. I've hardly been bored though...whether it be what happens next story-wise or what type of mission gets thrown at me next.
Also despite the dark sinister tone this game is going for, I've managed to pick up a 20 second long cassette tape of a soldier taking a shit... so the lightheartedness of previous MGS game is still present.

I imagine specific soldiers on the field decks they've been assigned too and I imagine only a certain number of them will be patrolling on a deck on certain times of day... and taking into mind they may be out on assignment.
Also if anyone hasn't done it already, I recommend exploring Mother Base for stuff. You'd be surprised what you may find...

Another spoiler to help people with a dickhead situation: After a mission you'll get a call to go back to mother base saying people are sick and need quaratine. You have to figure out who is sick, and the way to do it is shit to figure out. Basically look at everyone who is sick, and look for the common langauge that they all speak. Then go through all your staff and put everyone who speaks that language in quaratine. Remember to check new recruits also.

Just an FYI from Konami, don't take Quiet as your buddy for missions 29 or 42. There's a chance it can corrupt your game and make it unusable.

Just done that brown bear side op...probably the toughest one so far lol.
Finally had a chance last 2 days to sit and play it properly and done that I did, done think I've moved from the TV today...and I'm up to 17%...17...fucking class. Been playing it instead of real life and I'm still only a fifth through.thank fuck for metal gear in this era of 'complete in a moments wank' Hollywood games... The whole game ia really coming together now and running mother base is one of the most enjoyable sides to a game I've enjoyed for a long time. Really makes it feel worthwhile pulling the trigger on a weapon and nailing a headshot finally after waiting on a blueprint to become available or while you what on your r&d improving their shiiiit.
Think the girlfriends regretting ordering it for us now...slowly losing contact with her and transforming myself wholly into Big Boss. Dont think I've got the heart to tell her the online side hasn't been released yet...

Question about ep 31: How the fuck do you do ep 31? I've got it down to the part where Metal Gear is nearly dead and it jumps at you, every fucking time I smash it with rockets when it's coming towards me and it just fucking hits me with it's cunt rail gun which is a 1 shot kill.

Watch out for that metallic archaea thing though... It rusts the vehicles rendering them unusable. I got an S rank for it... Also watch out for a reflex attack from Mantis when the Metal Gear is almost dead. As I recall hitting him with any damage also depletes the Metal Gear health or leaves the Metal Gear in a stun state for free hits. I tried doing it with rocket launchers but it's just way too hard with all the running about to pick up supply drops, it's weak points are hard to hit (4 white canisters on its back) and that rail gun is a bitch too. I have a feeling that when the Metal Gear charges it it'll fire on a set position giving you time to run away.

I did it with an RPG and grenade launcher in the end and also got an S, it's an absoloute cunt of a mission. 95% of it is piss easy, I could get it down to the part where it would jump at you, then it'd just rail gun me and I'd be fucked.

Just had a complete fuck up of a mission and still got a B. Makes me wish I'd recorded the one I got an E on, I don't remember the majority of it but it must've been a hilarious shitheap of an attempt.

Anyone else find D-Dog an irritating little dick? He's so useful for scouting but the number of times he stands between me and the guy I'm about to tranq, or they hear me sneaking up behind them because he's a noisy cunt (even when you tell him to wait which lasts about 5 seconds). I do still like the little bastard though, but I think now Quiet can come with me she'll be more use and stays out the way too.
Set off some C4 before DD got far enough away as well so took a hit to my buddy rating.
Africa is awesome, much prefer rain to sandstorms, swear the guards are more observant there than in Afghanistan as well.
