Well all the dudes from MGS3 on Snake's team ended up being major characters, the pilot could have been like Kenneth Baker or some dumb poo poo

It wouldn't have worked with TPP's setting, but I wouldn't have minded Peter Stillman or someone like that being referenced again.

This could be solved by removing Reflex mode from multiplayer. It never even occurred to me that you could turn it on. It's stupid OP in singleplayer, its even stupider on multiplayer. If he didn't have reflex he would have gotten lit the gently caress up multiple times.

The designation for Snake's chopper is always Pequod, much like how the US President's airplane is always Air Force 1, so even if you manage to get one of your choppers destroyed in the field, the next one will show up and still be called Pequod.

He goes into reflex it instantly snaps him to whoever/whatever triggered reflex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ6E4fbOIwQ&t=112 Almost fucks him a few seconds later when the reflex triggers late. Is this what the aim-assist is like with a controller? I play with mouse and keyboard and turned that off immediately. I've tried doing this (but without a snap-to-guard script) and it's almost impossible to catch every alerting guard before reflex runs out, both because the reflex will trigger late after you've already moved out of the guards LOS, or because a guard will be behind girders/railings and you'll overlook it.

Doesn't pressing right analog stick always snap your camera to the one who's spotted you for Reflex?ChaosArgate posted:No, Quequeg's the designation of a different chopper.

Kaz is on Queequeg, so Queequeg is probably the Air Force Two in this analogy.

I really liked the juxtaposition between the Volgin/Mantis duo. A phantom from Big Boss's past and a phantom from in his son's future. I still really wonder what convinces Liquid to let Ocelot join up with his new Foxhound years later. I imagine Liquid's sense of irony was clouding his judgement.

If they don't disable Reflex in FOBs this sort of poo poo is inevitable I'm afraid. If a good player can bum rush any single-player mission at top speed using Reflex to ice all opponents then it probably should come as no surprise that they can do the same to a FOB.

So what the gently caress is up with Mantis and Volgin? Like, we know Volgin has super-powers. That's always been a part of his character. And, the fact that flames are what indicate that Volgin is controlling Mantis, means to me that the flames are definitely Volgin's power, independent of Mantis. Eli and Skull Face need Mantis to animate Sahelanthropus, but what does Volgin need Mantis for? What to blender those guys with helicopter blades at the beginning? Is Volgin like, really unfocused, so that Mantis doesn't really do much to help him? Does Volgin essentially not need Mantis, but Mantis hangs around him anyway because he is attracted to the strong emotion?

Like Venom, he's a whole load of burning lust for revenge in a comatose body, except with worse prognosis. So Volgin's rage powers Mantis and Mantis' powers animate Volgin - he basically puppets himself. A couple of times in the game Mantis gets distracted and Volgin completely stops moving.
