@ mohammadan:

No man, BIG guns aren't always the most powerful weapons. :P Use your imagination or should I say, try every damn weapon in this game. :D


@ Denji:

When you defeat the bosses in their beast form, don't kill the beauties, just wait around for like at least 3 mins and the easter egg will trigger. Then just pick up your camera and they will pose for you!

@ shabab12:

Yes I riked it but edit and fix your last link in your post, the last picture isn't showing up.

@ rest:

Gamespot kinda compressed the resolution of my pics, if you'd like to see them in high resolution(which I'd suggest you do) just right click on each one of them and save them on your desktop.

damn i really need to play through mgs4 again and find those dolls and go into that model mode thing. I can't believe I've only played through it once and now its too hard cuz of school and all these other games.

I forgot to mention ... very nice pictures! love the beauties

BlocChaser

you could go through the model mode without having to collect the dolls. However, if yo do collect them, you'll get the solar gun which is an AWESOME gun. Unique in the Vamp fight.

What will happen during the fight with Vamp ???

the solar gun basically kills vamp excessively quickly.

If you charge it up to the max, it will take him down with a single shot only. By the way, the solar gun is a very very useful weapon if you're aiming for the Big Boss emblem.

OMG ! MGS4 never stops impressing me. last night i finished it for the 3rd time in Big Boss difficulty, but you guys gave me more reasons to replay it.

btw it makes sense - killing a vampire with a solar gun-

thanx

Theres no way you can beat crying wolf in 30 seconds,5 minutes yeah, even in EXTREME, but 30 seconds, thats just BS.

1) Prepare your grenade launcher(Raven's), switch it to stun grenades.(the picture of the weapon on the HUD should turn to blue.)
2) Prepare at least one smoke grenade.
3) Sneak near Crying Wolf and don't let her see you. If she sees you and fires at you the trick won't work.
4) When you're close enough, throw a smoke grenade in front of her, she should start coughing.
5) When she does cough, pick the grenade launcher and launch those stun grenade at her.

5 consecutive hits, and she's down. :D

Does the resolution the PS3 is set at determine the resolution of the pic? Because I dont want to have tiny 480p pictures....bloodlust_101

well not really. Just post what you got and we'll see for ourselves.

[QUOTE="AgentH"]My favorite character in the Metal Gear franchise is none other but Solid Snake. Snake suffered alot and been through alot of situations and is himself a badass character comparing to Big Boss. I don't know if it's in the genes or because he's a clone but I like the fact that Snake shows no sign of emotions, fear or giving up when he's in the worst situations ever, MGS4 is the perfect proof. Big Boss however who isn't a clone or genetically enhanced does show signs of emotions, the best example would have to be MGS3, in the ending when he let a tear fall when saluting The Boss' grave. When did we ever see Snake crying? Never. Now in terms of power and who would win in fist fights. Well it's obvious that Big Boss would have the upper hand. avataraang1

[spoiler] Broken arm, shot in the eye, tortured by being shocked with thousands of volts of electricity, Killed his mentor (Mother figure),Killed more war buddies of his, heart broken like twice ( Cant remember if girl from PO had any feelings ) , Lost many men who served under him, Betrayed by best friend, Killed twice (Lets see you endure that) [/spoiler]

For some unknown reasons, the spoiler tag didn't want to work. The following paragraph contains spoilers. Don't read further. You have been warned.

Solid Snake:

It's not always physically when it comes to Snake's suffering. Snake suffered from lies, being controlled, being a pawn in many many events when putting his life in danger for the sake of the good people in the world, fox die(you have no idea what it feels like when someone knows he is going to die anytime soon), betrayal, not being able to enjoy life like other normal people do, he lives to fight and puts his mission first and careless about anything else, the fact that he was born for one purpose which is fighting, feeling desperate and hopeless and kinda useless after all those years of fighting and experience at the Volta at the end of act 3 when Ocelot takes control of SOP and unleashes Guns of The Patriots. Snake in that moment just couldn't do anything to stop him and that is something Snake never failed to do in the past. He's known to be the legendary soldier who could achieve any tasks under any circumstances but MGS4 destroyed the "heroic" terms given to Snake. Now as far as physical suffering goes, the "microwaves" in Haven are enough to showcase the worst situation Snake had to deal with. One more thing, I want to share with you a quote from MGS4 that has alot of meanings when you'd to come and analyze it. "ARGHH LIQUIIIDD!!" shouted by Snake on top of Haven during the brutal fist fight scene between Snake and Ocelot(Liquid) summarizes what Solid Snake been through ever since he met Liquid back in the Shadow Moses incident. Think deeper and you'll understand what I mean. This quote alone gave me GOOSE BUMPS and left some tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.

how did you get snake to hold the dual shock, and the picture of sunny and naomi, is that in the mission briefing?

Im playing through it again for the 5th time, Ive unlocked everything, Im just sniping all the guards till they all ran out of reinforcements, its takin forever though but its fun to snipe those guards

it's when you switch the camera to 2D. You will be able to see Snake, as if someone was photographing Snake and not from a first person view point. When you see Snake, just get as close as possible and snap a picture when he has the Metal Gear Mark II equipped. Those pictures I collected were posted by many many MGS fans on NEOGAF. I need you guys to show me some of yours if you don't mind. I will be soon posting more pictures.

They're not tricks. Just skills. No wonders, just not run and gun, and not just sneak behind and cqc them to death or just tranquilizing them. Can't explain with words. Words won't do justice. Videos is the answer. To begin with, the Octo Camo is my favorite feature or add-on to the MGS games. What I want to do is make people fall in love with stealth instead of just running and gunning. I just want to show them how far they could go when stealth is chosen. You know much like every Metal Gear fan does that stealth >>> run and gun in MGS games. However, many tends to choose the bad choice which is running and gunning which ruins the fun of the game. I want to showcase to them everything and the many possibilities they could do in terms of stealth. My aim is to spread the idea of using stealth much more often than run & gun in MGS4.

Well that's cool and all and I'm glad your so passionate about all this, but I hate to break it to you....Most people who play MGS play for the stealth aspect. Plenty of other games do run n gun so much better. Sure there are plenty of aspects to using stealth in MGS4, but nothing far beyond what we already saw in the previous titles.

I usually try to go through MGS games without disturbing anything at all. Maybe a knock on a wall, throwing an empty magazine (after unloading a clip in a secluded area of course), or letting an enemy see me just enough to distract him without setting off an alert. You know just to lure them in your direction as a diversion. I feel this is the best way to go through an MGS game. Using all wit and no weapons.

Anyways I got off on a tangent there but yeah, MGS4 is a great stealth game, but also a little simplified in comparison to MGS3 and especially MGS2. It was made to be less punishing and appeal to a larger audience. Im going to check out your video, but I think httppp might have got a little irate because you came off as the only one knowing how to do this stuff. A lot of great MGS players can make the games look like damn movies. Once you know all the available tactics and know the environments and enemy routes inside out, its easy to pull off amazing things and never be repetitive at all.

httppp misunderstood me. I never said I wanted to show off my skills over other Metal Gear fans or wanted to prove that I'm better than them. That was never my point. I'm not even close to be one of the best MGS players but I'm working on it. :P All I wanted to do was to spread the idea behind stealth in MGS4 to new people who go run and gun instead of stealth. And never being repetitive is my aim too. :D You're damn straight on that point.

[QUOTE="AgentH"][QUOTE="treelog82"][QUOTE="AgentH"][QUOTE="hhttppp"]

stealth in MGS4 is wayyyyyy better than it ever was in previous MGS games.

Why do you always act as if MGS2 doesn't exist? That was the only MGS game truly developed from the ground up with stealth in mind for almost every sequence. Everything from the level design, to the enemy AI, to the gameplay mechanics was developed soley for stealth. You got punished dearly for mis steps like not hiding bodies, taking out guards that are supposed to report every so often, carrying the wrong weapon when disguised, leaving a blood trail, footprints, sneezing, disturbing objects in the environment. Even the enemy search procedures and room clearings made you have to be more creative with your methods of evasion.

Not to mention you are put in many more stealth scenarios than just simply get from point a to point b without getting spotted. Blending with soldiers while remaining covert in order to grab a soldier and take him to the retinal scanner. Finding Ames among the hostages without blowing your cover. Escorting Emma without getting her killed. Diffuse bombs without being seen. Sneaking past rooms full of marines and taking pics of Ray from each side without getting seen. Running through Arsenal Gear with literally nothing!

Action my friend. ACTIONin MGS4 is wayyyy better than the previous MGS games. The stealth is a cake walk and doesn't really add to what the series already had to offer. You can lay right out in the open thanks to Octocamo and there is never a shortage of silenced weapons. Knowing how to manipulate the enemy AI, use your surroundings, and make due with what items you have has no where near the amount of importance it had in MGS2 or even MGS3 for that matter. The stealth in MGS4 is neither challenging, nor intricate.

Please man, most of this board looks at you as the MGS go to guy, but you post a lot of inaccurate statements and make us MGS fans look bad. Think before you post.

Dude, you're kidding right? Take a chill pill first. The things you could in MGS4 in terms of stealth are gigantic comparing to MGS2. Sure MGS2 settings were meant for stealth action more but in the battlefield, stealth is very useful too. Man you won't understand what I mean until I post my full playthrough showcasing "Stealth" in MGS4. Plz just be patient and bare with me.

Dude you aren't the only one in the world that has torn MGS4 to shreds. I seriously doubt there's anything you know about the gameplay that a million others don't.

Give me one example of a mind blowing stealth trick that most of us wouldn't know about by now lol. Everybody and there mom can be great at MGS4. Its not as deep as you seem to think XD.

They're not tricks. Just skills. No wonders, just not run and gun, and not just sneak behind and cqc them to death or just tranquilizing them. Can't explain with words. Words won't do justice.

I'm pretty sure everyone already knows that MGS is meant to be played as a stealth game first. Also, it's quite obvious that when you say stealth, you mean avoiding using lethal weapons, non lethal weapons, cqc, and never raising your suspicion to alert... People understand EXACTLY what you're trying to say.
