They pretty much gave away everything but the Medic twist in the trailers. As straight forward as MGS4 was, at least it didn't pull a fast one on anyone just for the sake of it... although Big Boss being alive is stupid.

I still can't get over how there was no use for Liquid, Mantis or Volgin being in this... they offer nothing to the plot.
People liked Skull Face, and that's fine. But the whole XOF BS is just silly to me. That FOX needed a cleanup crew? That Zero was Mr. Puppeteer even back then? I doubt it. I still don't buy into the happy go lucky support crew as the Patriots.
And again, they never explain how the AIs work, and how they control everything. Like, do they talk to their proxies directly, and tell them what to do?

You mean, the "no son, guns are dangerous" parental advice that came 45+ years too late?

The whole CQC hug I hate, since it started the whole "Big Boss is still better than Solid you dopes!!!"
Ugh...
I dont like the twist about there being 2 big bosses. But at the same time, i could never handle the fact that Solid beat Big Boss after how much of a beast Big Boss was on the battle field. How he was the original. Turns out i dont need to worry about that any more. He didnt beat him. And never could. To the point it feels Kojima made V just as an excuse to say that Solid couldnt beat THE Big Boss.

But, Snake did kill him in Zanzibar... with hairspray.
It seems. You have not yet been... inoculated from the vocal chord parasites.
That wasn't it. Solid Snake defeated Venom Snake during Operation Intrude N313. And then he went ahead and defeated the real Big Boss in Zanzibarland in MG 2.
...
Now where was I? Oh yes, the parasites.

You forgot about RAXA. That was the way it should have been.
Oh yeah. It's a shame the only good MGS3 sequel gets buried and ignored. Incorporating the Saturn rocket was pretty clever.
MGS3 and MPO were all about circumventing conventional delivery systems, since at the time it wasn't so easily achievable to have a full range ICBM.

MPO was a better MGS story than PW and MGSV combined, and it didn't resorted to retcons or cheap gimmicks either. It's a shame fans are too eager to dismiss this game as it could very well be the last great MGS in its purest.
You got that right. It was straightforward, and didn't need obnoxious twists in it just for the sake of it.
Despite not liking what they did with "Null", it was interesting to see him and Campbell.
Can we talk about the Wolbachiya now? I have an entire dissertation to discuss.

Steve Blum was also a great villain. He's sick enough to kill his own men, but he fights for what he believes is right and even gave BB the funds to raise an army. He reminds me of Solidus Snake whilst Coldman and Skullface are cartoon baddies at best.
Campbell and Elisa were fantastic, and Jonathan was the only person following Big Boss who actually had a personality. Gray Fox leaves a lot to be desired, but I guess he's not that bad. Oh, and Python was a pretty awesome foil for Big Boss.
Darn it, I need to get a PSP to play this again. Do you still have a PSP, Pliss?

I made a poll on Gamefaqs:

Oh I'm sure the dudebros will all pander to Medic Snake. They're the worst gaming community on the net, and probably the worst of MGS too.

For the first few years after MGS2, I despised Raiden, but Fake Boss has nothing on MGS2 Raiden. Nothing at all.

Medic Snake is basically a sub plot to the whole situation to the story... and he's not even a person, just an avatar.
Raiden started out as an avatar, then became his own person... and then started his own story.
Medic Snake is just a decoy, nothing more and nothing less.
