Metal Gear (Video Game)	comment	The Metal Gear series, produced by Konami beginning in 1987, is the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier of the Stealth-Based Game genre. Moreover, it is also considered to be one of the pioneers of cinematic storytelling within video games, famously being very Cutscene-heavy and being one of the first mainstream games to feature professional voice acting for all characters.The idea came when the series' creator and lead designer, Hideo Kojima, realized that the MSX2 couldn't show more than a few enemies at a time without flashing epileptically and generally breaking — so why not make a game where avoiding your enemies is the theme? This concept received a lot of criticism — one famous quote from a boss Kojima had at the time is, "Hiding from your enemies? That's not a game!" But then the critics (and other people) started playing it, and it became quite a hit, spawning a great many sequels (with countless ports and editions).The storyline is famously complicated, but, in its simplest possible form, can be described as an episodic plot that follows a dynasty of mercenaries, each with the Code Name "Snake", in various military events that take place from the mid-20th to the early 21st centuries, involving a series of revolutionary nuclear weapons called "Metal Gear".

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: The cover artwork of the original Metal Gear is blatantly traced from a well-known publicity still of Michael Biehn in The Terminator, while the character designs in the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2 are clearly modified photographs of actual celebrities such as Sean Connery, Mel Gibson, Tom Berenger, Richard Crenna, and Albert Einstein. In subsequent ports of Metal Gear 2, the character designs were revamped to resemble Shinkawa's designs from the later MGS games. Which still draw a lot from actors: Solid Snake started as Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter, evolved into Kurt Russell (after all, he was Snake Plissken - Big Boss resembles Russell even more) and then became an eyepatched Lee Van Cleef, who had already inspired Revolver Ocelot, and later Skull Face.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1467a30c	type	Unexpected Gameplay Change
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1467a30c	comment	Unexpected Gameplay Change: The Shagohod chase in MGS3 is an on-rails shooter. Escaping from South America in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots mixes Zombie Apocalypse and turret gunplay, there's more on-rails shooter stuff with Big Mama again in Eastern Europe (albeit you're limited to one-handed firearms), and mecha combat in Shadow Moses—REX versus RAY. As a rule, games made by Kojima that take place chronologically after the original game have final battles that don't use guns: In Metal Gear 2, defeating Metal Gear D results in an explosion that lights most of Snake's items, weapons included, on fire; all must be discarded. Gray Fox must be fought with fists, and Big Boss requires you to avoid him until you get enough items to light him on fire. In Metal Gear Solid, Liquid engages Snake in a fist fight after the defeat of REX. The second part of the fight is an on-rails shooter. In Metal Gear Solid 2, the final battle is a sword duel between Raiden and Solidus. Finally, in Metal Gear Solid 4, Liquid Ocelot follows the fisticuffs tradition.

(In MGS4 there are at least two iPod songs that specifically increase Old Snake's recovery rate.) In MGS2, when bleeding, Raiden can stop the bleeding if he stays still because of the fast acting nanomachines.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: The gameplay elements remain largely the same, but each time takes on subtle changes to story and visual style: Metal Gear Solid: Gritty modern military. Fairly straightforward, but The Twin Snakes is this plus some John Woo-esque stylish gunplay and action sequences. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Postmodern Magic Realism with Mind Screw sequences dabbling in global conspiracy theories. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Set in The '60s, this one is martini-flavoured Spy Fiction with plenty of homages to James Bond. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Military Science Fiction and dystopian Cyberpunk. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: Gritty Cold War-era revenge story with very light Science Fantasy elements. Also from a gameplay perspective, represents a shift from linear sequences to Wide-Open Sandbox gameplay. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: A ridiculous Hack and Slash game where badass cyborgs swordfight to Awesome Music in a Post-Cyberpunk world. By far the greatest departure to form in the series.

The most notable is the true identity of The Boss and The Sorrow's son, who is only revealed if you trigger a radio call between Snake and EVA in Metal Gear Solid 3. It's Ocelot. The Metal Gear Solid 4 Database, in addition to compiling every piece of Metal Gear lore up to Metal Gear Solid 4, features an extensive backstory for Raiden of what happened to him between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 that is not even mentioned in the game itself.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1a3a91dd	comment	Say My Name: Every single Metal Gear Solid has this, with both enemies and allies screaming "SNAAAAAAAAKKKEEEE!!!" Substituted with "Raiden, what happened?! Raiden! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIDEEEEEN!" in Sons of Liberty. "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX!!" when Grey Fox is Killed Off for Real during the REX battle. The intro to MGS2 (itself a sort of Nostalgia Level) with Otacon shouting, "...Snake..? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE" whenever your net a game over, and later "E.E.? E.E.!? E.EEEEEEEEE-!!" if the player screws the pooch and gets Emma killed. The series' use of it is inverted near the end of Guns of the Patriots when the Scarabs start piling on Snake: "OOOTACOOOOOOON!" Inverted both for Snake being the one to use it, and it being a genuinely tense and dramatic moment instead of meme-fuel. Snake screamed Otacon's name again earlier in Guns of the Patriots when he got half of his face burned very badly. This almost qualifies as a CMOA during the final duel when after Snake takes an absolutely brutal beating at the hands of Liquid Ocelot he turns the fight around by breaking his enemy's fingers. As Snake rises he screams his rival's name with a cry of rage and frustration, to be answered in kind as the camera spins. And they they really start beating the hell out of each other.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Metal Gear, Big Boss orders Snake to turn off the MSX2 or NES console. In Metal Gear Solid, Psycho Mantis will scan your PlayStation or GameCube memory card for existing save files from other Konami games. He also does a harmless attack called "Hideo" which blacks out the screen and displays the aforementioned words to fool the player into checking their tv. In Metal Gear Solid, revolver Ocelot warns Snake that if he detects a controller with rapid-fire capability, he'll automatically disqualify him and kill Meryl. Metal Gear Solid 2 introduced Fission Mailed. In Metal Gear Solid 3, Naked Snake says he can't smell in a CODEC conversation with The Boss. She replies that he'll just have to use his instincts as a gamer (something Miller also told Solid Snake in Metal Gear 2). Obviously, the player can't use their sense of smell to aid in their awareness of their surroundings. Portable Ops has Snake mention to Sigint that the equipment has been completely changed to be lighter and more compact, and he can now take the equipment outside—being the first canon game in the series on a handheld system.

Otacon, Dr. Madnar, Huey and Sokolov wind up being manipulated into creating horrific superweapons. It adds a bit of Fridge Brilliance to Solid Snake and Otacon's Odd Friendship. They've both been used as tools for long enough and have decided to fight back, much the same way that Big Boss, Liquid and Solidus have.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_22224d05	comment	Straw Civilian: Zig-Zagged in various ways as there are non-combatants with sympathetic backstories, but the scientist and technicians introduced Snake Eater and Portable Ops tend to be more troublesome to handle than soldiers. If held up (Snake and the other operatives will use a different callout by telling them to talk than tell them to raise their hands), rather than cooperate, they scream and panic (resulting in an instant Alert Phase), which by all laws is against common sense of personal safety. Interrogating some of the Soviet scientist reveal that they don't get along with the troops. This translates to gameplay where the enemy soldiers have zero problems shooting at Snake through a non-combatant, instead of holding their fire and ensuring their safety.

Unfortunately, your girlfriend is deep-down scared of you and calls you in the middle of your mission to discuss your lack of emotional warmth, the only way you could've acquired these oh-so-badass skills is Training from Hell that you have repressed the memory of, and indeed your desire to be just like Snake is going to be granted via a mind-control experiment that the entire game's sequence of events is.

In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, it's destroyed by being set on fire, though he does acquired another pistol for the Escape Sequence. In Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, it's all taken away by the Big Bad, although Solidus does give Raiden his sword back for their final battle. At the end of Metal Gear Solid 3, Ocelot tosses Naked Snake's equipment pack into a lake. Later Big Boss games avert this by virtue of being set while he was building Outer Heaven, though Ground Zeroes plays it straight with the destruction of Mother Base. Interestingly, the original Metal Gear has Snake keep all his gear, as does Metal Gear Solid 4 in spite of its Fisticuffs Boss Final Boss battle against Ocelot, since Snake brings his .45 to Arlington Cemetery in the epilogue.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_29a39f6	comment	Naomi Hunter in Metal Gear Solid 4, where she leaves her labcoat unbuttoned and is obviously wearing no bra. Her lack of a bra is even a point that gets brought up in gameplay in one level; after being "rescued" by PMC soldiers and Haven Troopers, you're forced to track Naomi. The Haven Troopers use a variety of tricks to try and catch you including a voice recording and a pink bra left on the trail. According to the Integral Podcast, the designers wanted to have leave various pieces of female clothing throughout the trails, and a naked, unconscious female soldier near the end of the level. It also comes up as an Easter Egg. As part of the Rule of Funny/Rule of Drama schtick where certain cutscenes will affect Old Snake's psyche bar, Naomi runs some tests on Snake and estimates his accelerated ageing gives him less than a year, causing his psyche to plummet. When she stoops to his level to comfort him, however, players can enter first-person without warning and look down said obscene cleavage and restore psyche to full.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_2a090d00	comment	It got to the point of Lampshade Hanging: during Act 4 of MGS4, Otacon calls Snake and tells him to put in disc 2. Then he remembers that, because the game is on a dual-layer Blu-ray disc, there is no disc 2. (Snake tells Otacon to stop fooling around, while players freak out due to the exact location of this conversation.) Then, when Psycho Mantis shows up again, he tries to pull the same tricks. However, he can't read your memory since the PS3 doesn't have a memory card, and he can only make the controller vibrate if the player is using the Dualshock 3. And again in the previous boss fight, where the Colonel recommends using the same tricks against a different psychic boss, only to have them all shot down. Oh, and in Metal Gear AC!D2, when General Wiseman explains bits of the COST and CARD system to Snake, "Agent" Dalton hears all of this and confusedly says, "That just went right over my head."

By the time of The Phantom Pain — the last Kojima-led entry — the story is mainly about the villain Skull Face getting his hands on a deadly bioweapon (the vocal cord parasites) that would make for a perfectly fine spy thriller plot on its own, but he also needs to have a Metal Gear too because it's in the title.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	type	Awesome, but Impractical
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: The Metal Gear concept itself. Sure, it seems like the ultimate weapon, given that it can launch nukes essentially undetected from any terrain, but the idea seems to run on Rule of Cool. The games seem to acknowledge this, though. The first two games have the legs of the titular Metals Gears as a serious weak point (the TX-55 is brought down with multiple C4 charges at its feet. Metal Gear D is destroyed by hurling frag grenades at the knee joints), a flaw that is uncorrected until the development of Metal Gear REX. Even the later Metal Gear RAY can be disabled by firing Stinger missiles at its knee joints and Solidus is able to disable multiple RAY units with a submachine gun. The Shagohod, while technically not a Metal Gear, also has a similar (but not quite as fatal) flaw with its augers, as well as needing three miles of runway to launch its nuke. The ICBMG, a Metal Gear In Name Only, needs to be launched into the upper atmosphere to deliver its payload from low orbit, defeating the entire Metal Gear purpose. Sahelanthropus is literally unable to function without a psychic to control it. Arsenal Gear takes this trope up to eleven, as without a massive fleet of ships, troops, air support, and RAY units, it's a nothing but a huge target.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and, to a certain extent, Peace Walker are notable exceptions to the whole Stinger route, where it is made pretty clear that the behind the scenes villains won even before we get to The Stinger. It helps that the bulk of the series is essentially one big Enemy Civil War, with the Patriots as an elusive Greater-Scope Villain. The Big Bads of all of the main series Solid Snake games (Big Boss, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake and Ocelot) all turn out to be rebelling against the Patriots for personal gain, so stopping them invariably just helps the Patriots maintain their stranglehold on the world.

There are a few notable aversions in the series as well - the source of Psycho Mantis' or The Sorrows powers are never explored and they appear to be genuinely paranormal. However, the series is infamous for its love of complexity. Don't expect any single explanation to cover a character. In the case of Vamp, while he used nanomachine regeneration, his other abilities are never given solid explanation, and at least one character turned out to have genuine powers separate from the technology that was assumed to provide them.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_353f2b06	comment	"Die Hard" on an X: The games, and particularly the MGS series, follow the beats of a typical Hollywood blockbuster: a VIP is taken hostage (in MGS1 and MGS2, the victims are nabbed during an unveiling of their pet development project, and the government forces Snake to comply with the rescue — both premises taken from Die Hard and Escape From New York); a fat ransom is demanded; the terrorists fan out and get picked off one-by-one by a solitary intruder. MGS2 follows the same playbook, though roughly half the game is spent tailing behind Snake and being deliberately kept in the dark about his movements, much like the terrorists themselves. You're not playing as Bruce, or even Sam Jackson. (That's Stillman.) You're more like Justin Long. Alternatively, Raiden starts the mission as a deep cover enemy agent, unknowingly helping the Patriots to further their goals. As the mission progresses, Raiden starts to realize why Snake and his allies hold Raiden at arm's length, and the game is primarily about him earning the right to be a driving force in the storyline.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_3767d6f9	comment	Ruder and Cruder: * The Metal Gear series is, as a whole, very light on profanity, though there was a noticeable increase in its use as it went on. Snake Eater featured EVA cursing out Volgin, but only in Japanese. English fans would have to wait until Guns of the Patriots to hear the franchise's first Precision F-Strike. Revengeance fully embraces this newly-discovered freedom to have multiple F-bombs throughout its dialogue, and even has its main villain be Sir Swears-a-Lot. The Phantom Pain dials it back to being used extremely sparingly in incidental dialogue.

Solid Snake was at his peak in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and declined sharply afterwards, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots saw the greatest stakes and most dangerous enemies and remains the culmination of the series, and the final boss of Metal Gear Solid appears to be the most powerful mech in the series. That said, because of the plethora of prequels developed on more advanced hardware than Metal Gear Solid 4, the adventures of Big Boss generally include more advanced challenges and tools than the events occurring decades later, in terms of gameplay at least. It's hard to believe that Metal Gear Rex is supposed to be more advanced than Peace Walker, Metal Gear Zeke, or Metal Gear Sahelanthropus, who were developed two or three decades earlier.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: All games post-MGS2 have a tranquilizer gun than can attach a suppressor. It's usually one of the first weapons you get. It will likely see more use than all of your rocket launchers, shotguns, railguns, grenade launchers, and automatic weapons combined, especially in games where recruiting enemy soldiers is a major gameplay element. Beyond recruiting, it doesn't alert enemies due to being silenced, shooting enemies with it doesn't cause their comrades to realize something is up (they'll just awaken the asleep victim; contrast the less fun experience of them finding a dead body), and is pretty much necessary for rewards that necessitate a Pacifist Run.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_450c5a85	comment	Alternate Continuity: Ghost Babel is an alternate sequel to the original Metal Gear; the first Acid game follows a different story (though Snake is still a legendary soldier) and the second goes further. In the case of Ghost Babel, it contains some hidden foreshadowing concerning the plot of Metal Gear Solid 2. Snake's Revenge was also relegated to an alternate continuity after Metal Gear 2 was made, although it was originally intended to be a true sequel. Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance included "Snake Tales", a series of five missions that featured Snake going through stages from Sons of Liberty, but with different plot point (there's no mention of the Patriots, and Snake's backstory is subject to changes). "A Wrongdoing" features Snake trying to save the President from Fatman, which turns out to be a plot by a third party. "Big Shell Evil" features Snake saving Emma Emmerich from Russian drug traffickers, while another third party is planning another plot. "Confidential Legacy" features Snake facing off against Sergei Gurlukovich and Meryl aboard the Tanker, and serves as a direct sequel to the first game. "Dead Man's Whisper" features Iroquois Pliskin helping Commander Dolph apprehend Vamp, with another conspiracy transpiring in the background. "External Gazer", the fifth and final tale, involves an alternate-universe Solidus planning on wrecking the multiverse by having Solid Snake destroy a fifty foot tall guard with death ray eyes.

Raiden has it pretty rough as well. In Metal Gear Solid 2 he is nagged by his girlfriend, is urinated on, he gets beaten up and used as bait for certain people, it is revealed that his parents were murdered by Solidus, and that's just his first appearance. In Metal Gear Solid 3 he was parodied by Volgin's gay lover Raikov, a usable face mask that Major Zero and Sokolov both apparently dislike, and Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser where he travels back in time to kill Big Boss so that he could become the main character of the series. To say he failed miserably there would be a understatement. In between Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4, he is told by Rose that she suffered a miscarriage (don't worry she was lying) after which he is tortured by the Patriots and used as a guinea pig for their experiments, his head is severed from his body at the jaw and transplanted to an entirely synthetic body, which is later upgraded to the exoskeleton we see him wearing in Metal Gear Solid 4.

And, of course, you can hide inside cardboard boxes, which are literally a paper-thin disguise. Soldiers aren't totally fooled by these, though, especially in later games, and especially if the box is out in the open and in their way. There's also Solid Snake disguising as Iroquois Pliskin in MGS2, by changing his uniform and nothing else. And EVA as Tatyana in MGS3, which had her wearing glasses and her hair differently.

You bet this is a manly series. That said, a lot of the portrayals of manly and cool tropes are, at best, bad life choices and at worst, the symptoms of mental disorders obtained through battlefield trauma. Even the aforedescribed protagonist is not immune to it. Also, it's a stealth game, so running around blowing things up like an Action Hero is usually not a good idea. Usually.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_504e271f	comment	MGS infamously has the first communications tower, wherein players must pass through a door with crisscrossing sensors, a camera trap through the other side, and a screwy camera angle to encourage you to fall for it the first time you reach it. Naturally, this means an endless hoard of mooks spawns and you have to sprint all the way up four dozen flights of stairs spamming stun grenades or blindly firing your FAMAS.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_5ab0da17	comment	Punch-Packing Pistol: For every game in the series, as soon as you can find a silencer for the pistol, it instantaneously becomes your best weapon. This is especially true when the series introduces first-person view, because you can line up headshots so easily. Combine this with the fact that every gun is wildly accurate, and you can easily have situations where you line up a headshot from across the loaded map to where you can barely see the enemy textures, and it will work. Metal Gear Solid 3 not only skips the step of making you find the Silencers which make the pistol so effective (though you can run out and need to restock them), but when you get it, Naked Snake goes on an extended monologue about how awesome the pistol is, and if you call Sigint later, he'll go even more in depth. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots almost seems to Lampshade this when they give you the Operator at the beginning of the game, which is already a good gun, (according to the in-game stats) but then you can acquire the similar except better Mk 23 (the SOCOM from the original) and the M1911A1 that Naked Snake used in the third game, each gun being better than the last.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_5b0e3d8a	comment	Non-Linear Sequel: Why this series has one of the messiest chronologies known to mannote Chronology: MGS3 (1964), Portable Ops (1970), Peace Walker (1974), Ground Zeroes (1975), The Phantom Pain (1984), Metal Gear (1995), Metal Gear 2 (1999), MGS (2005), MGS2 (2007-2009), MGS4 (2014), Revengeance (2018). Metal Gear Solid Mobile is a good example. It seems to clearly fit in to the main timeline between MGS and MGS2, but the game's ending apparently makes it Canon Discontinuity.) Also, you might wonder why a lot of characters like to talk to you through the Codec screen rather than to your face or with Codec real-time. This is because time stands still during the process, because it's a video game, and MGS2 went and injected Postmodernism through where the fourth wall was supposed to be, which is why you're so confused right now.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_5c5d0032	type	Eyepatch of Power
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_5c5d0032	comment	Big Boss's trademark is an Eyepatch of Power, which we see him receive in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (when he attacks Ocelot to keep him from assassinating Tatyana and ends up getting his right eye blinded by muzzle flare in a freak accident). His loss of the eye doesn't happen at exactly the same time as the large traumatic event that sculpts his character (the death of The Boss), but does serve to distinguish the difference from a rather innocent and ordinary soldier to a single-minded, ambitious and traumatised one. This injury is then repeated with over the course of the series symbolising the difference in each character's outlook compared to Big Boss: In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Raiden accidentally injures Solidus's left eye, which he appears almost ecstatic about, in accordance with his general fixation on Big Boss. He immediately starts wearing an eyepatch on it and even suggests being grateful to Raiden for doing it to him. Of course, his injuries are actually a mirror-image of Big Boss's, signifying that he himself is just a reflection of Big Boss rather than an individual in his own right. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Solid Snake begins wearing an electronic sensor over his eye that resembles Big Boss's eyepatch. Between that, his visible ageing and the fact that his muscle-suit resembles Big Boss's bulky build rather than his own more sinewy one, he resembles Big Boss a lot - more to screw with the audience than anything (going from a Big Boss who looked like Solid Snake in 3 to a Solid Snake who looked like Big Boss in 4). While saving Big Mama (the same person as Tatyana, just many years on) from a fire, the sensor explodes and damages Snake's face, with the result of inverting Big Boss's injury - a burned face but a functioning eye. This serves to indicate Solid Snake's defiance of his own fate - his face, the thing that ties him to Big Boss, has been mutilated; and his ties to Big Boss - he got the injuries rescuing the same person; but most importantly his ability to still "see" things Big Boss has become "blinded" to. Raiden also has a missing eye in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. This is because his eye and his arm were mangled by Sam at the beginning of the game - throughout the game, Raiden gets bonuses for chopping off enemies' right arms, repeating the injury done on him. The eye injury is covered, instead of with an eyepatch, with a bandanna resembling the one worn by Solid Snake, signifying to whom his allegiance is.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: One of the most notable things about the franchise is that every entry has its own theme; each unique, but also inherently tied to the others. While this allows each game to have a unique atmosphere, it also allows the story to have individual themes pertaining to each game, and explore them thoroughly. Metal Gear Solid: GENE (how a person's genetic history, biology, and more affect them not just in physical makeup, but also in their reputations, expectancy, their own legacy, and whether or not it's genes or the environment that make the person) Metal Gear Solid 2: MEME (how society at large is changed by information and control, how humans can be easily controlled through things they want to hear, and how information and ideas spread through social interaction) Metal Gear Solid 3: SCENE (how a person's personality, physical makeup, likes and dislikes, and more can be changed by the environment they're put in, and how far people can go from where they started) Metal Gear Solid 4: SENSE (how a person views the world, how others interpret that persons view of the world, and what happens when that person dies and their views and wants continue to influence others) Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker: PEACE (the idea of perfect peace in the world, how far some will go to achieve it, if peace is possible at all, and, if it is, how long it can last before new conflict arises) Metal Gear Solid V: RACE (how a persons drive to get revenge on others can affect the world around them, the constant competition between others and how it affects the world at large, and how language affects a persons mental growth and development) Across the entire series: Being a soldier is spiritually costly, especially in a post-Soviet world. There are big differences between reality and fiction. War Is Hell. While some might thrive better than others, war should never be seen as something to strive for. War only brings pain and suffering, and no one leaves it unscathed. Pacifism is preferable, but it is a difficult path to take. What does it mean to have control over information? Can you truly trust the words and beliefs of those around you, or is what they're telling you unreliable and built on their own preconceptions and biases, or influenced by someone with ill intentions? There are very few truly evil people in the world. People are complex with many shades of grey morality, even those who seem to be pure good or evil. No one ever truly knows the wants and desires of each person, and it is easy to misinterpret and misunderstand the intentions of others because of it. People are influenced by their situations and environment, but ultimately its the choices you make that really decide who you are.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_61fea7c1	comment	One Dose Fits All: Zig-zagged in 2, 3 and The Twin Snakes, due to Gameplay and Story Segregation. Both games feature a tranquilizer pistol, with which enemies can be dispatched non-lethally. Tranquilizer darts will be equally effective on any regular enemy regardless of size, provided they are not wearing full body armour, making this a straight example. In boss fights, however, it's played with. Bosses can also be defeated non-lethally, but rather than knocking them out with a single dart to the head, they instead have a "stamina" bar (much like their regular health meter) which depletes the more they get hit by tranquilizer darts. However, this stamina bar is based not on the enemy's size, physical fitness or constitution, but rather simply scales up linearly as part of the game's difficulty curve. So it's averted, but in the interests of gameplay rather than realism (could be considered an Acceptable Break from Reality, as the boss fights would be very anticlimactic if the bosses reacted to tranquilizer darts the same way the regular enemies do).

Near the end of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Raiden is knocked out and captured by Olga Gurlukovich and has his clothes and items taken from him. The next time he comes to, he's strapped naked to a table in a room, with only Scenery Censor and Shoulders-Up Nudity preserving his modesty while Solidus and Ocelot discuss his past and torture him. Even after Raiden escapes, he still doesn't get his clothes back, so he's is forced to sneak through the next section naked with no gear and unable to defend himself as he is covering his crotch with his hands. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Naked Snake can knock out Major Raikov and undress him to steal his outfit and assume his identity. Snake can also just kill him for it, in which case he will be one of the dead enemies in The Sorrow's river battle, he will still be naked and shamefully clutching his crotch just like Raiden in 2.

The Boss during the final battle of Metal Gear Solid 3 when she opens her sneaking suit to reveal her snake-shaped C-section scar. Naomi Hunter in Metal Gear Solid 4, where she leaves her labcoat unbuttoned and is obviously wearing no bra. Her lack of a bra is even a point that gets brought up in gameplay in one level; after being "rescued" by PMC soldiers and Haven Troopers, you're forced to track Naomi. The Haven Troopers use a variety of tricks to try and catch you including a voice recording and a pink bra left on the trail. According to the Integral Podcast, the designers wanted to have leave various pieces of female clothing throughout the trails, and a naked, unconscious female soldier near the end of the level. It also comes up as an Easter Egg. As part of the Rule of Funny/Rule of Drama schtick where certain cutscenes will affect Old Snake's psyche bar, Naomi runs some tests on Snake and estimates his accelerated ageing gives him less than a year, causing his psyche to plummet. When she stoops to his level to comfort him, however, players can enter first-person without warning and look down said obscene cleavage and restore psyche to full.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_6f66bef7	comment	But Not Too Foreign: Pretty mild for most characters but up the ying-yang for the Snake "family." Although Western in origin, and in spite of the fact that both Otacon (who's surname is Jewish-German) and Mei Ling look much more Asian than any of the Snakes, the characters are told again and again how Asian they are. Says Vulcan Raven in Metal Gear Solid: "The blood of the East runs in your veins" and he then goes on to describe (how he knows this we have no idea) that Snake's ancestors were from Japan and before that the Mongolian plains. As it turns out, Snake and his brother Liquid were cloned using a donor egg from a Japanese woman (so their mitochondrial DNA is East Asian). Otacon himself is a pretty good example as, while (as far can be told) he's entirely European in origin, he is an emphatic Japanophile. Likewise, Raiden, while not a Japanophile, seems like he walked straight out of one of Otacon's Japanese animes.

However, enemies killed in alert mode or action sequences will disappear (flicker out more like it), and occasionally in normal status if one waits long enough. As a possible reference to this, Liquid Ocelot's elite FROG units immolate themselves once they're dead, and if Snake touches the bodies, they crumble to dust. Played straight in Revengeance, since bodies cut down by Raiden exploded right after, of if cut down for to much time in Blade Mode or the HF Wooden Sword, simply faded (this happens due to the possible crash that lots of scattered enemies pieces would cause).

She fails to answer the code phrase, instead gunning down several mooks... with a .45 ACP copy of the Mauser C96, which was only made and used by one nation during the Cold War: China. She even uses the "Bandit Shooting" technique that was invented specifically to take advantage of that gun's tremendous recoil. She ends up being a Chinese triple agent tasked with tracking down the Philosopher's Legacy. Of course, Snake doesn't pick up on any of this, due to EVA's Navel-Deep Neckline.

If one chooses the easiest difficulty, then it's a valid option to plow through the game without really needing to use its stealth elements. However, selecting anything above "Normal" makes using stealth absolutely necessary, as guards will be vigilant and difficult to take down, and using stealth is far easier than trying to macho one's way through. The most extreme gameplay modes in the Metal Gear series actually force the player to restart from the beginning if they are so much as noticed by one guard.

This research continues into the 1980s, leading to developments such as Quiet and the Skulls, Lightning Bruisers who are Made of Iron. Brainwashing techniques and mental manipulation are used to make a soldier more focused on a particular task, such as with Null and Venom Snake. This is revisted with the B&B Corps and Ocelot. Cloning and genetic modifications are used to create the Snake clones and the Genome Army. However, this is generally seen as a failure, especially with the Genome soldiers. Nanomachines are widespread in the later games, allowing soldiers to work in perfect sync, as well as not need to sleep, eat, or defecate at inopportune moments. However, once the system goes down, it leads to many of them being reduced to gibbering wrecks. Cybernetics are used to replace missing limbs, or even entire bodies of critically injured soldiers, giving some, such as cyborg ninjas like Raiden and Gray Fox, superhuman strength and speed.

Meanwhile Snake sneaks around everywhere and is forced to hide if he's caught. In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Raiden actually is a ninja (a cyborg ninja, in fact). The Rival, Jetstream Sam, is essentially a cyborg samurai (he even fights with a High Frequency Blade made from his father's antique katana). Bonus points for the fact that Raiden started the game talking about his admiration for Bushido (the samurai's code of honour) but had started to abandon it and embrace traits of his Jack the Ripper persona by that point.

Ocelot even calls Fortune out on this at the end of 2, before killing her "You were hamming it up as the tragic heroine, thanks to the script the Patriots wrote for you." Justified in MGS with Liquid as the graphics in the 90's didn't exactly allow for subtlety of movement. Not to mention it's supposed to be a deconstruction/homage of classic 60's spy and horror movies, a fact which Paramedic effectively spells out in 3.

Oh, and batshit AI. This also happens in the games set in the future from their release, thanks to real life catching up and surpassing them. As above, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake has the Soviet Union lasting at least into the final week of 1999, when the real Union dissolved a year after the game's 1990 release. There's also a reveal near the end of Metal Gear Solid that the "Gulf War syndrome" experienced by numerous soldiers returning from the first war in the Persian Gulf (generally attributed in reality to exposure to things like depleted uranium in weapons and tank armor) being the result of injecting those soldiers with "soldier genes" as an early attempt at creating something similar to the Genome Army that act as the basic mooks in the game.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_8ae880f7	type	Deconstruction
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: Lots of it. While the first two Metal Gear games played everything relatively straight, the Metal Gear Solid sub-series is intended as a deconstruction of action movies (and, to a lesser extent, video games), twisting tropes common to them around in extremely horrible ways to establish how damaged everything and everyone would have to be for an action movie scenario to work in the real world. By the second game it's way out into the shocking parts of the Deconstructor Fleet territory, shamelessly tackling video games, the player/audience, sequels, the expectations of fans and even its own prequel and characters. The setup of the first Metal Gear Solid is simple; a terrorist attack on a government nuclear warhead disposal facility occurs and a legendary mercenary is brought back to stop it. However, all the characters are unbelievably screwed up, precisely by the character traits that they'd plausibly need in order to do what they do, and the plot gets very complicated very quickly. Unfortunately, not all members of the fandom saw the deconstruction; they instead thought the game was the ultimate action film and wanted to be Solid Snake. The aforementioned Misaimed Fandom got precisely what it wanted with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which deconstructed the way people related to the first game. So, you want to be just like Solid Snake, huh? You get to play as a player proxy character that, like Snake, is an emotionally crippled badass with buckets of blood on his hands and a killer instinct. Unfortunately, your girlfriend is deep-down scared of you and calls you in the middle of your mission to discuss your lack of emotional warmth, the only way you could've acquired these oh-so-badass skills is Training from Hell that you have repressed the memory of, and indeed your desire to be just like Snake is going to be granted via a mind-control experiment that the entire game's sequence of events is. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater applied the same approach (if much less viciously than in MGS2) to spy films such as James Bond and (to a lesser extent) action films like Rambo. Most of the usual tropes are there — beautiful Bond Girl who is actually a spy for the enemy, the Fake Defector, the Soviet scientist defecting to the U.S. and so on. Most are unexpected plot twists, all are horribly tragic, and all combine to make the protagonist into the biggest villain in the series.note It should be noted that, except for Metal Gear Solid 2, the series was somewhat affectionate in its dismantling of said tropes. At the end of the day, the heroes find a reason to justify their personal suffering and the battles they just fought Finally, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots raises the question of what exactly happens to action heroes after the action movie ends. The choices that are presented are dying in a blaze of glory, suicide, or falling into obscurity. MGS4 also explores the concept of the Old Soldier: Snake's willingness to fight in spite of his advanced physical age isn't solely depicted as being admirable but also as being foolish and suicidal, people who idolized Snake back in the day patronize him and treat him as a burden, and in general Snake's age is the subject of cruel jokes. In fact, Snake's lifebar is changed to Old Snake to emphasize this. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain explores the revenge story, with all the major characters wanting revenge against someone in some way or form. However, it also explores the lengths that some are willing to go for it, like the antagonist wanting to wipe out language for revenge against Zero and those who subjugate others through language. The ending also critiques revenge by showing the effects of trying to get revenge on behalf of someone else - in this case, Venom Snake willing to do horrific things for Big Boss. It really doesn't end well for the former. It also subtly deconstructs tropes in modern military shooters, although not nearly as much as other games.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_8b97cb5d	type	Symbolic Mutilation
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_8b97cb5d	comment	Symbolic Mutilation: Big Boss's trademark is an Eyepatch of Power, which we see him receive in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (when he attacks Ocelot to keep him from assassinating Tatyana and ends up getting his right eye blinded by muzzle flare in a freak accident). His loss of the eye doesn't happen at exactly the same time as the large traumatic event that sculpts his character (the death of The Boss), but does serve to distinguish the difference from a rather innocent and ordinary soldier to a single-minded, ambitious and traumatised one. This injury is then repeated with over the course of the series symbolising the difference in each character's outlook compared to Big Boss: In Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Raiden accidentally injures Solidus's left eye, which he appears almost ecstatic about, in accordance with his general fixation on Big Boss. He immediately starts wearing an eyepatch on it and even suggests being grateful to Raiden for doing it to him. Of course, his injuries are actually a mirror-image of Big Boss's, signifying that he himself is just a reflection of Big Boss rather than an individual in his own right. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Solid Snake begins wearing an electronic sensor over his eye that resembles Big Boss's eyepatch. Between that, his visible ageing and the fact that his muscle-suit resembles Big Boss's bulky build rather than his own more sinewy one, he resembles Big Boss a lot - more to screw with the audience than anything (going from a Big Boss who looked like Solid Snake in 3 to a Solid Snake who looked like Big Boss in 4). While saving Big Mama (the same person as Tatyana, just many years on) from a fire, the sensor explodes and damages Snake's face, with the result of inverting Big Boss's injury - a burned face but a functioning eye. This serves to indicate Solid Snake's defiance of his own fate - his face, the thing that ties him to Big Boss, has been mutilated; and his ties to Big Boss - he got the injuries rescuing the same person; but most importantly his ability to still "see" things Big Boss has become "blinded" to. Raiden also has a missing eye in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. This is because his eye and his arm were mangled by Sam at the beginning of the game - throughout the game, Raiden gets bonuses for chopping off enemies' right arms, repeating the injury done on him. The eye injury is covered, instead of with an eyepatch, with a bandanna resembling the one worn by Solid Snake, signifying to whom his allegiance is. Metal Gear Ac!d 2 significantly uses a copy of The Boss's caesarian scar on the back of the female character Lucy - particularly unusual as the Ac!d games happen in an entirely separate universe to the main games. However, it supports Lucy's character as being a horrible monstrosity of a matriarch, child and wife figure simultaneously (referencing the description of The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - "she was like a mother to me, and my master." "And your lover?"). As well as, more directly, suggesting some of the horrible surgical mutilations she would have received from the Mad Scientist responsible for creating her.

Either set the clock ahead so that he dies of old age, or snipe him when he appears in his wheelchair — albeit the latter will lead to the boss fight areas being instead patrolled by 20 enemy soldiers. In MGS4 there are no truly skippable bosses, but any damage to her Life or Psyche that Raging Raven takes during the motorcycle chase sequence will carry over to the 'true' boss fight, so go fire on her with whichever bar of hers you wish to damage later. Also in 3, if you blow up the HIND at the ammo dump, you won't have to face it later when you're climbing the mountain. If you blow up ammo and/or food dumps, the soldiers you face later will run out of bullets quickly and/or be weakened and hungry (meaning tranqs and CQC will take them down faster and they'll eat anything they find, including poisonous food).

Alternatively, Raiden starts the mission as a deep cover enemy agent, unknowingly helping the Patriots to further their goals.

Averted in Peace Walker, where not only does time not stop during a Codec call, but it's also actively encouraged that you don't attempt to call when near enemies. MGS4 also has some Codec calls in real time, where the person calling is just telling you where to go next or commenting on something nearby. Subverted in Revengeance. The traditional codec screen returns, but is only used for optional conversations between Raiden and his support team. All story-related codec calls are done through an Expository Gameplay Limitation so as to hide a loading screen, and occasionally as Dialog During Gameplay.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_97ebe48b	comment	Pacifist Run: You receive a lower score at the end if you kill everything. Also, in MGS3 and MGS4, you get good bonus items from the bosses if you tranquilize them into submission instead of kill them. In MGS3, The Sorrow, a sub-boss that can't be killed, tries to kill you with guilt, sending the ghosts of your fallen (but not tranquilized) enemies stumbling towards you. The other bosses show up regardless of their ultimate demise, since even if you sedate them, they still use bombs to self-destruct. In MGS4 beating the Beast forms of the Beauty & the Beast Corps allows the player to acquire their statue (collect them and the FROG statue for the Solar Gun), and beating the Beauty forms allows the player to collect their FaceCamo. As before, some of the Emblems (ranks) require a certain amount of kills (less than or more than) to acquire; the Pigeon and Big Boss Emblems for example require no kills.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_99fa6bc0	comment	Because I'm Good At It: The mentality which leads to the formation of the Patriots, and various incarnations of Outer Heaven. Regardless of their allegiances, they're all military. Their lives revolve around war, and nobody in Metal Gear goes unscathed. The theme of indoctrination and war propaganda runs deep in Metal Gear. The Genome Soldiers from Shadow Moses are genetically predisposed to war, creating in months what once took Big Boss several years and an army of war orphans to build. Raiden's old unit is snidely referred to by Snake as "grunts of the digital age," conditioned using the Force XXI virtual reality programs and lacking any real talent or experience. MGS2 focused on memes instead of genes, so the S3 Plan was a method of trying to ensure that people who support the Patriots could be generated at will and, theoretically, at a mass level. The Paradise Lost Army is, or course, yet another example. Even in MGS3, Big Boss' support staff had that tiny bit of psychosis in them: Para-Medic talks enthusiastically about genes and cloning, Sigint's kinda obsessed with his projects, like the mask that could blink and the bioelectric battery; Zero loves his James Bond movies, but seemed to have had a particular fascination not just with the gadgets, but also the warmongering Bond villains, like Ernst Stavro Blofeld. One of those little moments occurs in Peace Walker when Big Boss talks to Paz about the great stone spheres of Costa Rica. He instantly thinks of shooting them in a fire fight. Because, to Paz's horror, he just doesn't get or understand the value of anything that can't be used for war.

You can also carry an oil drum. Portable Ops and Peace Walker downplay this trope heavily. Portable Ops allows you to carry four items only, regardless of type. Peace Walker, on the other hand, will allow you to carry between one and three primary weapons, depending on which outfit you're wearing, and a couple of secondary weapons as well as a limited number of items. Averted in The Phantom Pain. You can only carry one large primary weapon* Sniper rifle, machine gun, rocket launcher, or ballistic shield, one hip-holstered primary weapon* Assault rifle, shotgun, or grenade launcher, one small secondary weapon* Pistol or SMG, a bionic fist (Snake only), a knife, and a range of throwable/placeable weapons and items.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_9cd91b8a	comment	Enemy-Detecting Radar: Present in all of the main MGS games, in one form or another. The first two had the "Soliton Radar" which showed you the position and facing of enemies on a nearby radar minimap. Some people complained—justifiably—that the radar actually made things a little too easy. For MGS3, the prequel, they had a number of lower-tech solutions that all ran off of battery power: a motion sensor that would not detect stationary enemies, a "sound ping" radar that could give away your position to someone nearby, and an "AP sensor" that made the controller vibrate when enemies were near. MGS4 gave players the "Threat Ring" which showed the relative locations of enemies surrounding Snake, but only when he held still and knelt on the ground, and also a sound-detecting radar in the form of the Solid Eye—loud explosions, gunfire and other turmoil would make it not work as well, but it provided a nice balance between the previous incarnations. MGS5 uses the "Marking" system, which tags people and important items (such as vehicles, fixed guns or supplies for your base) while looking at them using binoculars or aiming with a gun ; tagged items and people appear as pictograms on your map and on your screen (if you are close enough) until they are killed/destroyed or leave the map.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_a5237a54	comment	Action-Based Mission: At least Once per Episode, though it varies per entry. Most boss fights meet this description, and each game typically includes a number of fast-paced action setpieces to contrast with the slower-paced stealth gameplay: There's often a high-tempo Rail Shooter sequence where Snake covers while a supporting character drives. Examples include: end of MGS, end of MGS3, end of Second Sun and middle of Third Sun in MGS4. There's often an outmatched fight against an enormous vehicle. Examples include: Tank and Hind D in MGS, Harrier Jet in MGS2, all the vehicles and AIs in Peace Walker. There'll probably be a forced alert sequence with difficult mooks, which often bring means of Respawning Enemies, unique Elite Mooks, or Super Powered Mook.note It's common for the standard mooks in sequences to have a similar health bar and/or mercy invincibility like the player, meaning they take a good few hits before death. Examples include: the stairway running from 10F to 20F of the tower building in MG 2; the prison, first tower stairs, second tower elevator and underground elevator in MGS; the post-core alert in MGS2; the optional Ocelot squad battle in MGS3; the FROG sequences in MGS4; and the Skull sequences in MGSV. There's always straight-up battles against the Quirky Miniboss Squad. The only exceptions are Decoy Octopus in MGS (already dead), Fortune in MGS2 (can only be evaded), The End in MGS3 (tactical sniper battle or entirely skippable), and the entirety of Peace Walker and MGSV (no squad, just a Big Bad or two). Finally, there's always a battle against the newest giant mech for entry: Metal Gear Rex in MGS, the Metal Gear Rays in MGS2, The Shagohod in MGS3, the last Ray while piloting Rex in MGS4, Peace Walker then later Metal Gear ZEKE in Peace Walker, and Sahelanthropus in MGSV.

Finally averted in MGS4 by Snake getting a "hack" into the system... as a result, weapon pickups are a notable part of gameplay, and in Screaming Mantis's case it's necessary to pick up her Mantis Doll to defeat her. Also averted in V. While the weapons aren't permanently unlocked until researched, Snake can use any that his enemies drop. Or gun emplacements. Or tanks.

Vamp's nanomachine-enhanced Healing Factor prevents him from committing suicide. Fortune cannot be hit with bullets, and any grenades thrown in her vicinity end up being duds due to the top secret electromagnetic weapon developed by the Patriots that she is unknowingly carrying, but she lost everything after the tanker incident so this is actually a curse. All three are looking for a Worthy Opponent to finish them off. The Boss was a special case, as the Philosophers ordered her to die at Naked Snake's hands for the sake of a cover-up. She couldn't commit suicide, and she couldn't tell Snake what was going on. The fact that nuclear war would likely result if she stayed alive was also a factor. Even Snake fits this during MGS4, as he cannot die until he completes his mission.

However, the aesthetic remains similar. However, and this is more noticeable in Twin Snakes but still present in the original, if you look at Gray Fox's face when he's unmasked you'll note that he only has one eye left, as the result of his near-death experience.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_c5e42cbd	comment	Cutscene Incompetence: Very frequent. It's pretty common for the player to be doing great, only for a certain cutscene to hit and have the protagonist screw up and/or cause a non-standard alert for Rule of Drama. MGS3 has the notorious bike sequence, wherein Snake and EVA both stop watching the road for several seconds (at the same time too) to examine the bike closely. Unsurprisingly, by checking the bike the exact way a pair of idiots would, they end up crashing which forces the player into the widely disliked Escort Mission sequence. MGS4 has a few parts wherein Old Snake has his symptoms flare up, causing much incompitence. The worst offender is probably the end of First Sun, wherein Liquid Ocelot gets away simply because Snake is suddenly unable to take the shot he's managed fine for the past hour of gameplay. Cleverly invoked in the cut epilogue of MGSV. A blast causes trauma to Snake's shrapnel wound, triggering a mild seizure and impacting his ability to differentiate between red and white. With Snake panicking and surrounded, the game helps the player rapidly gun down the hazmat mooks, only for the last one to shriek like a child; returning color reveals that the seizure made Eli's red hazmat suit look like the XOF white suits, effeectively tricking the player into triggering this trope.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c	comment	With This Herring: Justified as weapons and equipment being OSP, On-Site Procured. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, we learn that Big Boss' original codename, Naked Snake, is taken in part from this. In a neat twist on previous games' weapons progression, the first weapon pickup in MGS4 is the AK-102 assault rifle found right next to Old Snake after one of the first cutscenes, and it's the Mk.II suppressed tranquilizer pistol and suppressable lethal Operator pistol which are received next, instead of the other way around as in the past. It's markedly inferior though to the M4 Custom which you pick up not long after the pistols. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker averts this by giving the player an M16, a tranquiliser pistol and some grenades to start with. Ground Zeroes zigzags this depending on whether you play a mission on Normal or Hard; Normal gives the player a rifle and a tranquiliser pistol and Hard gives the player only the tranq pistol with less ammo.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Vietnam War-era jungle setting of the game aside, Snake of Metal Gear Solid 3 is a shout-out to James Bond AND John Rambo. The former is paid tribute to in the music of the alert phases, whereas the latter happens when Snake roars Sylvester Stallone's trademark battle-cry when firing an M63 machine gun. Solid 'Old' Snake also roars like this when firing the M60E4 in Guns of the Patriots, signifying how much he has become like his father. There's many others as well. For example, Raiden's real name is Jack, and his girlfriend is named Rose Not only that, but in both endings of MGS1, Snake reveals his name to be David, or "Dave" as his rescue partner calls him. With his techie buddy Hal. Bonus points for Hal actually being named after HAL from the movie. The Meryl ending continues the shout out fest, this time being one of several shoutouts to Kojima's earlier visual novel game Policenauts.note Meryl Silverburgh was a character in that game, albeit older and tougher. She worked in Beyond Coast Polices Vice unit along with a young officer named "Dave" Forrest. For bonus points, MGS!Meryl even wears the same orange vest that Policenauts!Dave wears. Drebin and his "naked guns" is a shout out to a rather unexpected franchise. Of course, Hideo Kojima has shoutouts to his own work as well, with Policenauts posters and Snake can actually use the Gun De Sol from Boktai as a bonus weapon, the Solar Gun, by acquiring the FROG statue and the B&B Corps statues, by defeating them (for the B&B Corps their Beast forms) all nonlethally. Metal Gear Mk. 2 originally appeared in Kojima's Snatcher. Except that one was a reference to the original Metal Gear. A reference is even made to the "Metal Gear Menace" of the late 20th century. The freight Elevator in MGS is a near exact duplicate of the one in AKIRA, and even leads down to a sub-zero area. Solid Snake's name is a shoutout to Snake Plissken from Escape from New York. The film is one of Kojima's favourites, and was a large influence on the series (particularly notable is the theme of an uncaring government sacrificing heroes for minor or personal gain). The MGS4 "Chair Race" trailer featured a battle between Snake and Raiden over a chair labeled "main character". Snake's gear and method of movement in the trailer is reminiscent of Sam Fisher.

This is further emphasized in the subsequent prequels (MPO, PW and GZ) where Big Boss continues using the Snake codename, despite having already been awarded the title of Boss by that point. TPP takes this idea further by making the main character into a body double of Big Boss, making him the third playable Snake in the mainline series.

Even though he is behind creating the Patriots, his ultimate goal was good and he is far more caring and humane than the typical Knight Templar. However, this is extremely debatable given his "caring" solution led to a network of AI crashing the world into sterile, hopeless future dominated by proxy wars and iron-fisted information control. Overall, straight-up non-Anti Villains are more the exception than the rule in this series. It's also worth noting that this was not his original plan. His original plan was using vocal cord parasites that kill people who speak particular languages to eliminate all languages except English to force world unity. He later decided to use the technology gained from researching the parasites to target individuals rather than ethnic groups.

In Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Grey Fox reveals that he's defected to Big Boss's side because he was recruited to Foxhound by him as a child soldier (the later games which starred Big Boss would elaborate on this). Big Boss in general founded Outer Heaven as a refuge for disenfranchised soldiers and war orphans...albeit to form a private army. To his credit, he does sincerely care about them.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_e034faef	type	Limited Animation
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_e034faef	comment	Limited Animation: The CODEC cutscenes in the first three of the MGS series: The first one represented conversations on the radio by showing a portrait of each character in the conversation, with Mouth Flaps when they spoke. The most expressive they got were the occasional change in expression, such as Mei Ling sticking her tongue out at the player, or Otacon jamming his face up against the camera to warn Snake about stealthed assassins. MGS2 upped it with facial models of the characters - however, the Mouth Flaps are really off, and the characters frequently used CODEC when they were standing right in front of each other (the in-universe reasoning being that CODEC calls are inaudible to eavesdroppers, but it's obviously just a time/memory-saving measure that allowed the developers to provide exposition between characters without having to render the environment surrounding them or animate a proper cutscene for the infodump). MGS3 dealt with the first problem by representing the character Snake is calling with still pictures, as it took place in the 1960s, when two-way video-phone devices would be nonexistent (not that this stops the game from occasionally replacing the still pictures with video footage to demonstrate something the character is discussing). Snake is rendered similarly to in MGS2, though well out of focus in the background in return for having his full body rendered. MGS4 avoided it entirely by showing full videos of the character Snake was speaking to, although Snake only has two main contacts in that game (Otacon and Rosemary) and two out of the other three (Raiden and Drebin) instead get minor animated logos. Revengance plays with it, for some reason. The required calls are done in a Gears of War or Batman: Arkham Asylum style, with Raiden putting two fingers up to his ear and walking really slowly, although there's a floating full model portrait, and the optional ones have the same thing, but done in the classic style. However, the mouth flaps are still extremely, extremely off, even though it seems out of place in a modern game.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_e17ca895	type	The Cake Is a Lie
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_e17ca895	comment	The Cake Is a Lie/Mole in Charge: In the original Metal Gear, Big Boss deploys Snake to Outer Heaven with the expectation that he will be captured and put away for a while, just like Gray Fox. When this fails, Big Boss comes out of hiding to kill Snake for interfering. In Metal Gear Solid, the Pentagon turns Snake into a carrier for FOXDIE, an intelligent pathogen which targets members of FOXHOUND, as well as Kenneth Baker, the only man on the island who can implicate the Secretary of Defense Jim Houseman in the ArmsTech graft scandal. When the plan goes belly up, Houseman tries to nuke the island with bunker busters to remove all of the evidence anyway. Metal Gear Solid 2 shares more in common with Portal than just the trope: in the prologue, Snake is framed for an eco-terrorist attack, spilling crude oil in the Hudson River.note The tanker contained no oil at all since the holds were emptied to make room for Metal Gear RAY. A duplicate tanker was sunk in the same location to pollute the river. This forms the pretext for the construction of an offshore "cleanup facility" which is actually a copy of Shadow Moses' nuclear disposal facility. Years later, Raiden, under the guidance of an AI masquerading as Colonel Campbell and his girlfriend, Rosemary, is sent to reenact the Shadow Moses Incident so the Patriots can gather data from it for their S3 Plan. In Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake is betrayed twice: once when The Boss dupes FOX into handing Sokolov over to the Russians, and again when Snake is coerced into executing her for treason. In reality, The Boss was working undercover for the American government to siphon billions of dollars from their rivals, and wound up taking the fall for the CIA after Colonel Volgin fired an American nuke at Sokolov's research facility.

At least Once per Episode: Events have been playing out totally differently to player expectation. Typically the Player Character has actually been a pawn in the grand scheme of events, and they've actually been dancing to the villain's secret Gambit Roulette. Several people aren't who they seem, and thus have ulterior motives: MGS: Colonel Campbell is really Meryl's father, the DARPA Chief was Decoy Octopus, Solid and Liquid Snake are clones of Big Boss, the Cyborg Ninja is Gray Fox (and Naomi's adoptive brother), Naomi wanted Snake dead for trying to kill Big Boss and Gray Fox, Master Miller has been Liquid Snake in disguise. MGS2: Plissken is the real Solid Snake, Solidus Snake is the third Big Boss clone and Raiden's adoptive father, the Colonel is a Patriot AI, the Cyborg Ninja is Olga Gurlukovich acting to save a loved one. MGS3: The Boss is only pretending to be a turncoat to prevent WW3, and in the ending EVA turns out to really be a Chinese spy. MGS4: Rat Patrol 01 is another set of unaware Patriot puppets, Drebin is still loyal to the Patriots, Cypher is Major Zero, Big Boss was never really dead and has woken up, Naomi is terminally ill and trying to fix things, The Patriots are revealed to be Major Zero's team in MGS3 plus EVA and Ocelot, the true villains are revealed as Patriot A.I.s gone haywire and plunging the world into a war economy, the list goes on. Peace Walker: Galvez is a Russian agent called Zadornov, The Boss is only an AI, the ending reveals The Boss truly did believe in fighting for peace (to Snake's dismay), the epilogue reveals Paz is Pacifica Ocean (an agent of Cipher). MGSV: By the ending we have Venom Snake revealed as a doppelgÃ¤nger for Big Boss, Skull Face is Big Boss' shadow (having acted as his uncredited support), and the additional tapes reveal Zero tried to make amends with Big Boss only to be made vegetative by Skull Face. If he appears, then Ocelot has a reveal regarding his affiliations as per his Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. MGS: A phonecall reveals he was really working for the US President. MGS2: In the Tanker, he betrays Gurlukovich and Russia to steal a Metal Gear for himself. In the Plant, Ocelot turns on Solidus and fleeing in a Metal Gear after revealing he was a Patriot spy. MGS3: A phonecall reveals he was ADAM (Snake's original contact) and that he was working for for the KGB all along, only to later betray them for the CIA. MGS4: The epilogue reveals he was loyal to Big Boss all along and one of the original Patriots. MGSV: The final cutscene reveals he was Big Boss' only confidant, and deliberately sabotaged his own memories to keep him loyal to Venom. There's one or more ending stinger(s), which puts a huge spin on the game itself or the series as a whole. MGS: Ocelot escaped with the Metal Gear data, and is passing it on to the US President. MGS2: The Patriots have seemingly been dead for decades. MGS3: Ocelot has the real Philosophers' Legacy. MGS4: Big Boss is alive and stops Snake killing himself. Peace Walker: Two: One where Big Boss rejects The Boss' ideals, and another where he officially announces Outer Heaven. Ground Zeroes: Skull Face reveals that his goal is to kill both Big Boss and Zero and Paz is implied to reveal Zero's location to him. The Phantom Pain: Ocelot reveals Big Boss' body double ruse to Miller, and the two pick sides knowing there will eventually only be one Big Boss.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_e851b5	comment	Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance included "Snake Tales", a series of five missions that featured Snake going through stages from Sons of Liberty, but with different plot point (there's no mention of the Patriots, and Snake's backstory is subject to changes). "A Wrongdoing" features Snake trying to save the President from Fatman, which turns out to be a plot by a third party. "Big Shell Evil" features Snake saving Emma Emmerich from Russian drug traffickers, while another third party is planning another plot. "Confidential Legacy" features Snake facing off against Sergei Gurlukovich and Meryl aboard the Tanker, and serves as a direct sequel to the first game. "Dead Man's Whisper" features Iroquois Pliskin helping Commander Dolph apprehend Vamp, with another conspiracy transpiring in the background. "External Gazer", the fifth and final tale, involves an alternate-universe Solidus planning on wrecking the multiverse by having Solid Snake destroy a fifty foot tall guard with death ray eyes.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: The fact that the DARPA Chief refers to the terrorist act as a revolution is a major hint that he might not be who he claims to be. Yet no one picks up on this, despite the fact that they know for a fact a master of disguise is among the Fox Hound renegades. And in MGS3, there are several blatantly obvious hints that EVA might not be who she says she is, in her very first scene. She fails to answer the code phrase, instead gunning down several mooks... with a .45 ACP copy of the Mauser C96, which was only made and used by one nation during the Cold War: China. She even uses the "Bandit Shooting" technique that was invented specifically to take advantage of that gun's tremendous recoil. She ends up being a Chinese triple agent tasked with tracking down the Philosopher's Legacy. Of course, Snake doesn't pick up on any of this, due to EVA's Navel-Deep Neckline. Neither do most players.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_eff26b2b	comment	Take Cover! Metal Gear Solid (1998) introduced the peek-around-the-corner cover mechanic, where Snake can crouch behind and press against low walls and peak around corners. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001) expanded on it, introducing a shoot-around-the-corner cover system, where Snake or Raiden can crouch behind or press against low walls and aim from behind them, to shoot from around the corner of a wall. This shoot-around-the-corner cover system has also been employed in later Stealth Games like the Splinter Cell series and Tactical Shooter games like Rainbow Six Vegas (2006). Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots features an improved cover system similar to kill.switch.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_f1f76	type	Quirky Miniboss Squad
Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_f1f76	comment	Quirky Mini Boss Squad: In almost every game, the enemy unit leaders have unique powers or abilities that complement one another, and they work together as a team (though are fought individually, of course). They even tend to be united around a common theme, such as Foxhoundâ€™s animal motifs or Dead Cellâ€™s weapon specialties. However, they are portrayed relatively realistically, at least compared to other examples, replacing "quirky" with "homicidal", "batshit insane" and "nightmarish". The Outer Heaven Mercenaries in Metal Gear, comprised of Shotmaker, Machinegun Kid, Fire Trooper, Dirty Duck, Bloody Brad, and were led by â€œBig Bossâ€�. Special Forces Group FOXHOUND in Metal Gear Solid, comprised of Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Decoy Octopus, Revolver Ocelot, and were led by Liquid Snake. The only boss character outside of their group was Gray Fox, who was an enemy to both Snake and Foxhound. Dead Cell in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, comprised of Vamp, Fortune, Fatman, and were led by Solidus Snake. Former members are Old Boy and the Chinaman. The only boss character outside of their group was Olga Gurlukovich, who supported Dead Cell and supplied the Mook army but wasnâ€™t a member of them herself. Similarly, Ocelot returned as a major villain who supported Dead Cell but wasnâ€™t part of them either. The Cobra Unit in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, comprised of The Pain, The Fury, The Fear, The End, The Sorrow posthumously, and were led by The Joy (aka The Boss). The only boss characters outside of their group were Volgin, who similarly to Olga supplied the Mook army but was not part of the Cobra Unit himself, and Ocelot, who had a similar support role to them as Volgin did. The FOX Unit in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, comprised of Cunningham/Boa, Python, Elisa/Ursula, Null/Grey Fox, and were led by Gene/Viper. The Beauty & The Beast Corps in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, comprised of Laughing Octopus, Raging Raven, Crying Wolf, and were led by Screaming Mantis or rather, Psycho Mantis. This game is notable for its Big Bad (Liquid Ocelot) and The Dragon (Vamp), who are both boss fights, ranking above the entire squad and not being members of it themselves this time. They simply used the Beauty & Beast Corps as pawns. The Beauty & Beast Corps was additionally notable for combining all of the aspects of Foxhound, Dead Cell, and the Cobra Unit. Laughing Octopus used the animal theming of Decoy Octopus, the weaponry of Solidus Snake, and the emotion of The Joy, Raging Raven used the animal theming of Vulcan Raven, the weaponry of Fatman, and the emotion of The Fury, Crying Wolf used the animal theming of Sniper Wolf, the weaponry of Fortune, and the emotions of both The Sorrow and The End, and Screaming Mantis used the animal theming of Psycho Mantis, the weaponry of Vamp, and the emotions of both The Pain and The Fear. The A. I. Weapons in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, notable for being the only non-human bosses in the franchise. The Winds of Destruction in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, comprised of Mistral, Monsoon, and were led by Sundowner as its main members. Jetstream Sam/Minuano and former member Khamsin were similar mercenaries who worked with the group and shared in the wind-themed naming and powers. The only boss characters completely outside of their group were Blade Wolf and Senator Steven Armstrong, who nonetheless still worked with them. The SKULLS Parasite Unit in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which is actually three Squads in one: the Mist Unit, the Camo Unit, and the Armor Unit. Former members are Quiet. Black Chamber in Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, comprised of Black Arts Viper, Marionette Owl, Slasher Hawk, Pyro Bison, and Brian McBride. The Three Test Subjects in Metal Gear Ac!d 2, comprised of Harab Serap, Golab, and Chaigidiel.

In MGS4, they're an optional attachment for several of the guns that don't already come with one, which increases the lock-on distance for weapons when using auto-aim on top of making it easier to aim them in third-person.

Metal Gear (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: All Quirky Miniboss Squads are some of the most notable examples. FOXHOUND had a two-part codename: the first part comes from the boss' specialty/weapon, the second part comes from an animal. The Cobra Unit base their names off the emotions they carry into battle. For reference, this is where The Boss' second codename, The Joy, comes from. The Beauty and the Beast Unit combines the emotion of a Cobra with a FOXHOUND operative's animal. The Peace Walker AI Weapons are based off different names of a butterfly's formation. In addition, Dr. Strangelove named the A.I.s after American presidents (the same names would be reused for the Patriot A.I.s. Lastly, the Winds of Destruction are named after powerful winds from their respective home countries. While the theme isn't as obvious as in the above examples, each member of Dead Cell has a misleading or ironic name; for example, Vamp's codename is actually because he's bisexual, rather than because he's like a vampire. It's an early hint that things aren't as they initially appear to be in the mission.

Vamp doesn't really start playing this role until MGS4, and injects himself with nanomachine suppressants in order to cancel out his healing factor and finish himself once and for all. Snake himself arguably counts in MGS4, since his reasons for living are rapidly disappearing. He decides to see the world with Otacon during his last few months, however.
