Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) | comment |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (officially abbreviated MPO) is a Metal Gear game released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. Following the release of a few Metal Gear spinoffs for the PSP (both Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel), Kojima Productions decided to develop a legitimate Metal Gear Solid game for the handheld system that remained true to the stealth action game design of its console counterparts, with a story that followed the events of Metal Gear Solid 3.Set in 1970 (six years after Operation Snake Eater), Naked Snake (a.k.a. Big Boss) finds himself abducted by members of his former unit (FOX) and imprisoned in a base somewhere in the San Hieronymo Peninsula in Colombia. After escaping from prison, Snake finds out that FOX has allied themselves with members of the Red Army and have taken over a secret Soviet missile base. They're now threatening both the US and Russia, and the U.S. government thinks Snake is leading the FOX revolt. Unable to take down the FOX unit by himself, Snake joins forces with a Green Beret soldier named Roy Campbell, forming the core of a soon-to-be-much-larger team dedicated to saving the day.Built on a modified version of the Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence engine, Portable Ops introduces a "comrade system" which emphasizes a squad-based approach to the Metal Gear Solid formula in lieu of the traditional solo infiltration style. Featuring a stage-based structure, the player can deploy a team of up to four members to infiltrate various enemy facilities and fulfill mission objectives, as well as scout other territories and gather information. Snake can recruit numerous type of soldiers to his unit, as well as medics, engineers and even main characters from both, Metal Gear Solid 3 and Portable Ops. In addition to the single-player story mode, there is also various multiplayer modes based on Subsistence's online component (Metal Gear Online) where two players pit their teams against others', including a Cyber-Survival mode where the winning team gets to recruit a member of the losing team.Portable Ops was followed by a stand-alone expansion titled Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus (MPO+) in 2007. It drops the story mode from the original game with an "Infinity Mission" mode, while introducing new multiplayer modes, maps, units and unique characters based on Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 and even Metal Gear Solid 4, rather than being based strictly on Metal Gear Solid 3.While initially advertised as the missing link between Metal Gear Solid 3 and the original Metal Gear, Portable Ops is considered more of a sidestory, as it wasn't directed by Hideo Kojima. Kojima would take directorial helm of the next PSP game in the series, Peace Walker, building upon the game design of Portable Ops and chronicling the further exploits of Big Boss. Kojima has since clarified that while the game is part of the Metal Gear canon, future games may take some liberties with certain elements of the plot. | |

Cut-and-Paste Environments | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_3273ebb9 | comment |
Cut and Paste Environments: Most of the characters and areas in the original Portable Ops were recycled from Metal Gear Solid 3, right down to using the same textures. This especially noticeable with all the returning characters from Metal Gear Solid 3 (aside for Snake himself, Para-Medic and Sigint) who look and dress exactly like they did during Operation Snake Eater six years earlier. Ocelot, Raikov, and Sokolov in particular were playable characters in the original incarnation of Metal Gear Online included with Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, so their abilities were carried over from that game intact. Teliko and Venus also use the same character models from their respective Acid games. | |

Plot Twist | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_3b23e81 | comment |
Plot Twist: Although it has several twists left and right, the biggest one that deserves a mention on here is that the American branch of the Philosophers were not the founders of the Patriots, as previously stated in the scrolling timeline of MGS3, but rather the CIA Director was murdered by Ocelot under orders from Zero. Furthermore, the organization was founded by Zero in the aftermath. This sets up the backstory of MGS4. | |

Noodle Incident: Not much is revealed about Snake and Python's last mission together other than it took place in Vietnam, presumably North Vietnam, it occurred around 1960/1961, and Python apparently ended up with a serious enough injury that Snake was led to believe that Python had died. | |

Animal Theme Naming | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_427ca0d0 | comment |
Animal Theme Naming: Snake himself and the generic members of his team. Subverted by the members of FOX: Gene and Cunningham are also known as Viper and Boa, respectively, but they're never really addressed by those codenames; Null didn't use the codename "Gray Fox" until years after the events of this game; and Ursula's name (which coincidentally means "little bear") barely counts as a codename since it's a common given name. Only Python uses an animal-themed codename. | |

You Have Failed Me: Averted. At one point, scaffolding fell down, with Gene and Ursula having predicted that it would collapse and promptly warning Cunningham to stay still. The soldier apologizes for the blunder. Gene's response is to tell him to stand still, as well as demand that medics arrive to retrieve him due to the soldier's wounded status, and then promptly apologize (in his hypnotic voice) for working the soldiers too hard. | |

Laughing Mad: Cunningham laughs rather insanely when trying to use his Davy Crockett on the base in a failed attempt to bring Big Boss down with him. Also, Skowronski really begins to lose it after Snake met him, causing Snake to shoot the lock out of his cage to spare him of his desperate rantings and manic laughter. In this case, however, his manic laughter is implied to be a result of his being exceptionally drunk. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Elisa definitely qualifies. Heck, she does it both times (although one time was completely against her will, as Gene was starting to forcibly awaken her other personality half.), and later does it with her twin sister (or rather, split personality). Raikov also technically counts, namely in regards to allying with Snake (in the last game he appeared in, he was an enemy. Of course, considering what Snake did in Metal Gear Solid 3, he probably does still view him as his enemy, and probably would fight against him had it not been for the fact that they had a common enemy), though he also wished to redeem himself in the Soviet Army's eyes (they exiled him to the San Hieronymo Peninsula for abusing Soviet soldiers, as well as Volgin's death). | |

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_6875260 | comment |
Vodka Drunkenski: Skowronski's mannerisms when he first appears imply that he was heavily drinking. If Para-Medic's altitude-amplified hangover radio call is anything to go by, then possibly all of the Soviet personnel on the Soviet Missile Base in Colombia (FOX too, although they technically aren't Russian by birth or by nationality) are as well. It's kinda hard to blame them when they had been betrayed by their own country. | |

Casting Gag | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: This isn't the only time Daisuke Gōri played someone who defected to another group and sold out his allies. Although unlike Pigma, who was motivated by greed, Cunningham was motivated more by revenge, and given what he had to go through thanks to his allies/group, the CIA, its kind of hard to blame him for wanting revenge. Here's a quote from Pigma and Cunningham that has some similarities: Toshio Furukawa played the young Campbell to Takeshi Aono's older Campbell. This is in reference to Dragon Ball, where Aono played King Piccolo and Furukawa played Piccolo Jr. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Although for the most part well done, some of the special recruiting missions have proven to be tedious, with Raikov and Sokolov being the only ones who are given any hints at how to recruit them in the actual strategy guide, and even then, only the first part with Sokolov's recruiting missions. Recruiting EVA if you botch recruiting her on a run where you recruit Ocelot all-but requires a guide, as her recruitment side-quest is tied to Ocelot's, the issue is that the game won't trigger alot of the same spy reports/interrogation dialogue that you used for Ocelot but they are still required for EVA, (For instance, you'll need to interrogate an official, with Ocelot Available, he'll give unique dialogue, if you've already got him, despite him now giving generic dialogue, you still need to interrogate him to trigger the flags for EVA.)so alot of it is interrogating characters unprompted, with no indication unlike the first time around that you've triggered events. | |

Snub by Omission: Meta-example: Konami's treatment of this game following the release of Peace Walker. It's been omitted in most of the subsequent Metal Gear Solid-related literature and merchandising, particularly in Kojima Productions' latest timeline (where there's only a passing mention of Portable Ops in the Peace Walker page). Portable Ops didn't even have the privilege of getting an HD console release. It also wasn't included in The Legacy Collection (a collection that contains all the other canonical Metal Gear games). | |

Similarly, EVA herself and her MIA fate is referenced (although not by name) by Campbell and Snake in an optional radio call. EVA's call sign when contacted by Snake is "Tatyana", which is the same alias as the one she used when she infiltrated Groznyj Grad as Sokolov's lover. Snake stripping Raikov of his clothes was referenced by Para-Medic, as is her brief witnessing of Snake in the infirmary. Sigint and his UMA Finders Club is referenced by Snake and Sigint. Para-Medic's dream of creating a group of parachuting medics is referenced in an optional radio call. | |

Fake Defector: Subverted with the FOX Unit. The CIA intended to have the FOX Unit fake defection to the Soviet Union so they could supply the ICBMG to the Soviets and thus have the CIA maintain all the power it gained during the Cold War. However, this plot was undone by the Pentagon (of whom Cunningham was a plant to), where FOX was to launch the ICBMG at Soviet Russia in order to tarnish the CIA's reputation. It's even further subverted when Gene intended to nuke America with the ICBMG. See Gambit Pileup below. | |

Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_bce728ca | comment |
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Cunningham's reasons for defecting from the CIA to the Pentagon, and thus trying to have FOX and Gene launch a nuke against Russia, as well as presumably wipe out both FOX and the Russians on the peninsula with a Soviet Davy Crockett, stemmed from the fact that the CIA pretty much forced him into a desk job after he ended up having his leg amputated, and it is also implied that their role in The Boss's defection also had him similarly sore with the government group he worked for. Also the real reason why the Soviet soldiers are serving Gene and FOX after they usurped the command chain even though they obviously don't completely trust either him or his unit (not brainwashing): The Soviet personnel, despite working in harsh conditions and losing many of their men either to malaria or during their allied battles with FARC against the Colombian government, and having little food and laboring under intense weather all so they could accomplish their mission directives for the Soviet government, and weren't even allowed to tell their families due to its top secret nature, ended up being cast aside (in Jonathan's words, "stabbin [the personnel] in the back!") after a regime change and the SALT talks between Brezhnev and Nixon, with all communications and supply transports either being cut or diverted, and they were forced to remain on the peninsula instead of returning back to Russia so that in the event the missile base was discovered, the Soviets would come up with the "convenient" coverstory of it being done by Renegade Russians. | |

Fan Disservice: Snake does wind up naked at one point, but the circumstances and art style drain all the possible fanservice out of the moment. | |

Shout-Out | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Raikov's carrying an Ithaca M37 shotgun upon being recruited may have been a reference to General Blue, who similar to the former character, is also strongly implied to be homosexual. | |

Renegade Russian | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_c7eaae49 | comment |
Renegade Russian: Subverted with the Soviet soldiers on the San Hieronymo Peninsula: They were doing exactly what the Soviet government told them to do on the San Hieronymo Peninsula (build a missile base), and carried on with the top-secret mission while suffering all the while specifically because they thought doing the mission under the Soviet government would greatly benefit Russia. However, when Detente came, and the Soviet Union experienced a policy shift, the Soviet government screwed them over, cancelling all shipments and cutting all communications with them, not even allowing them to come home specifically because they wanted to make it seem as though the Soviet soldiers were of this trope in case the missile base was ever discovered. | |

Taking You with Me | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: Cunningham attempts to do this to Snake after the latter defeated him and refused his offer to get on the chopper to go home to allow the Pentagon to continue their conspiracy... by attempting to launch a Soviet-made Davy Crockett at Snake, the weapon originally intended to be launched after Gene launched the ICBMG at Russia. However, he wasn't able to go through with it thanks to his hovercraft exploding seconds before he could push the trigger, and it lands with Snake. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Shoot Campbell with the Mk. 22 in the tutorial and the dialogue will hilariously change. Later in the game, you need to know the location of the Guest House by either stealing a map from the rail bridge, or interrogating the government official at the town. This is the same official interrogated from the airport earlier, so if you recruit him at the airport, he won't appear in the town, and the only way to know the location is from the rail bridge. Consequentially, recruiting him at the town will make you unable to recruit EVA and Ocelot as he plays part in their recruitment. The virtual calendar on the Briefing screen initially starts on November 2, 1970 and moves forward as the player participates in missions, but if you allow the calendar to reach December 31, 1971, the date will simply say "Time Paradox" from then on. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_d68762ef | comment |
Weapon for Intimidation: Due to the simplified CQC mechanics, the CQC knife has been reduced to this. It's only useful for interrogation and cannot be used to slit someone's throat. | |

Guest Fighter: Every surviving character from Metal Gear Solid 3 can be added to Snake's squad, including a few that don't exactly make sense in the context of the game's story (namely Zero and Ocelot). Teliko and Venus, the heroines from the Metal Gear Acid games, can also be recruited by having save data from their respective games. In Portable Ops Plus, Old Snake and Raiden (in addition to Campbell) can both be recruited as well, despite being from the future. | |

Lightning Bruiser: The ICBMG combines the best of the Cruise (pinpoint accuracy in hitting the targets) and ballistic variants (virtually impossible to intercept once launched) of nuclear missiles, and has none of the worst aspects. | |

Nerf | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: CQC, even when used by Snake, is a lot less effective than it was in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. You cannot perform a chokehold from the frontnote A technique where the assailant would spin an opponent to grab them from behind, instead, doing that will cause you to wrestle an opponent until they either break free, or slam them to the ground. You also cannot slit their throats there, rendering their CQC knife being merely a Weapon for Intimidation. Unlike in Snake Eater where you can either slam or perform chokeholds on certain bosses (such as Volgin and The Boss), you cannot do the same to on-foot bosses such as Python, Null, and Gene. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Big Boss is still uncomfortable with the title at the beginning and still insists on being called Snake, but by the end of the game, it becomes something of a term of endearment by his men. Konami themselves prefer to use MPO as the official acronym for the game instead of "MGSPO". This is because MPO was largely based on Subsistence's free-to-play online component, Metal Gear Online or MGO. MGO and MPO are play on NGO (non-government organization) and NPO (not-for-profit organization), respectively. | |

Groin Attack: Cunningham places his artificial leg directly on Snake's groin when attempting to extract info from Snake as to where he took the other half of the Philosophers' Legacy. Also, if Snake or another soldier gets into a confrontation with female Soviet officers (and in the case of Portable Ops Plus, female Soviet soldiers) and is in close quarters, they'll subdue Snake/the soldier by kneeing them in the crotch. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Video Game) / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: In one of Snake's radio calls to Para-Medic, after she explained to him about the lost city of Gold, El Dorado, and similar locations in South America, including golden knives, Snake expressed interest in the golden knife part as he would use it to distract the enemy with CQC. This causes Para-Medic to exhasperatedly state that she didn't mean it like that. This was also somewhat in-character with Snake, or rather Big Boss's ending speech in Metal Gear 2, where he made it clear that he doesn't even care for wealth. | |

Pet the Dog: Apparently, Gene generated mind shielding to prevent even Ursula from reading in what his true plans were, and only let it down when it seemed as though she died, presumably to avoid the risk of her revolting. The fact that he would do this to prevent her from revolting despite his demonstrating that he is more than capable of defeating her anyways due to his speed if they did end up fighting implies that he may not have wished to kill her. | |
