@HankFreakingHill It's not that bad. Definitely go PS3 if you have the option but you can make do with the 360. You just have to get more crafty with the controls like hitting the right trigger to holster your weapon instead of easing off the button.
since you're so good i have to ask, is there a trick to finishing VR mission snake (mgs1) variety level 1?
have you finished it?
i remember beating it on the ps2 but i just cant beat it on 360, the sensitivity for the scope is insane i just cant get passed 15 guards before getting overrun.
@EDDIEinWAR I don't know of any tricks (been a long time since I even wanted to play that mission again...), sorry. I'm sure the order you choose would play a big part in it, but it's not like to can take out lines of them like in the earlier difficulties...
I just finished all dog tags for tanker. I'm starting the plant now, not looking forward to battling all those metal gears on extreme! I got pissed off on normal!! Lol I hope I don't miss like ONE then have to go back. Tanker was short so I didn't care but this gah. Ha (:
@bobanoosh I know the feeling, for a long time I got destroyed by Extreme Rays.
Luckily Plant is easier to tag than Tanker, what with Tanker having a few guards you only get one shot at. As long as you remember to save before the points of no return (e.g. the Harrier battle) and check your tags in the viewer, it's hard not to finish with 100%.
What console are you getting MGS HD on? The xbox 360 controllers aren't pressure sensitive, so when you want to let go without taking off your weapon, press the left stick and you will put down your weapon.
@brettmiddle I'm goin back and forth between 360, buying a PS3 for HDC, and just sticking with the PS2 version. I may just take the easy way out TBH considering PS2 has the best controls.
@LakaiBoss You miss it? Buy the MGS HD Collection. It includes Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. :)
The MGS2 version also includes all the vr and alternative missions.
@jasanimans You can get all VE dog tags, but each difficulty has different tags, and you need to do them all to get all tags for the Dog Tag Viewer and the rewards.
6:40 is one bit of music I haven't managed to find on YouTube. I mean, according to a YouTube vid that covered "The Document Of MGS2", there was a "Detection" theme, as well as the Caution, Alert, and Evasion themes. Unless I'm wrong.
@thegreatbman Sure, I'd like that. I figure there's lots of missing music bits in the Metal Gear Solid series after the very first one. There's the Evasion themes from Metal Gear Solid 4, for instance, that didn't end up on the official soundtracks, I hear.
@caliburedge2411 It's on the European versions of SoL, hence the name. It's basically Extreme with no dog tags, higher damage taken, lower damage dealt, and guards can see and hear you from a further distance.
Probably the most obvious difference about EuEx is that Olga's pistol shots do a full life bar of damage. Apart from Ray's stomp I believe it's the only one hit KO attack in the game.
@47474747z I don't know of anyone else that speedruns dog tags, so this is the fastest legit run I know of. I've done better runs (as in faster gameplay) since then, but always playing from a hard drive (quicker loading times), so they weren't legit.
@low1tjeh If you mean at 4:45, it's just a well-timed R2 + direction. All the other weapon changes are R2 taps - the Quick Equip setting in Options has been changed to Previous, meaning it changes to the last-equipped weapon.
@low1tjeh On and off, yeah. I'm not very far in though, as there's some tough planning such as choosing when to collect tags in areas like Strut E (which you go through at least 3 times).
how do you have euro extreme on mgs2 sons of liberty but my game doesn't have euro extreme i only have it on my mgs2 substance. SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER!
@kiss19731000 Only the European versions of SoL (being the last to be released) have Euro Extreme, hence the name ;p
That's also why Europe and Asia has the different dog tag layouts, since their main games are a lot closer to Substance's than the US version (the first to be released) is.
are there any difference between metal gear solid 2 and metal gear solid 2 substance. i mean is the dog tags at different places? and if i play at very easy can i find all the dog tags?
@MakaveliWiklund The American version of the original doesn't have any in the Holds areas (7 in Extreme), but otherwise there's no difference re tags AFAIK.
All the difficulties have different tag layouts and names, except European Extreme which has none. By reloading a completed game save to go to other difficulties, you can collect enough to unlock bonus equips.
the guard when you first enter the engine room on the tanker (from the room with the raven toy) is doing my nut in! i'm trying to get his tag on hard, but he won't give it up, and when i shoot him in the arm or wherever it goes into alert mode! any idea how i can get this one?
@andimccormick I'm not familiar with Hard, but from a playthrough of it I did a couple weeks back I know that guard is a pain.
You could try dragging him into the locker room to maximise distance and doing it there. If that doesn't work, then you can tranq the two other guards in that part of the room then go for him.
All else fails, you'll have to pick up the USP suppressor by climbing up the mast at the top of the ship.
@thegreatbman Cheers for your help, just managed it by knocking him out, then getting the other two tags below and going back for his. Prob not the quickest way but I'm just going for tags for now. I don't remember there being a suppressor up there though, just the thermo goggles?
@thegreatbman AAAAARRRRGGHH!!! Have you ever collected all the tags on easy? I've got all but two - one in hold 1, one in hold 3, and NOBODY has them! I've got the ones from the guys up top in holds 1 and 3, and the second one in hold 3 straight after you slide down the pole, but that's it! I've tried nearly everybody, short of going through everyone in the crowds. Any idea where I need to look? Sorry for all the questions btw, but you do appear to be some kind of guru.
Ignore the previous comment, I found them! Mr fecking Underpants! Right in the middle of the crowd in hold 1! And then a guy right at the front of the crowd in hold three. Had to knock out half the marines though...
heres a tip: if your playing tanker episode and u accedently shoot a guard to sleep and u dont want to wait for em to wake up u can use coolant spray it wakes em up faster! thumbs up if this helped
Do you know if it's possible to load game in MGS2? Besides from restarting the whole thing or dying.. And also if you can go back and get dog tags you missed? I got around 87perent in very easy and I want to go back and finish it.. Or start a new difficulty too..
@chrisv9000 It's in the options menu, under I believe "Quick Equip". "Unequip" is the default which switches between nothing and your last equip. "Previous" is what I used in this run, which switches between your last two equips. From a speedrunning perspective, it's godlike on Tanker, but becomes a handful in Plant where you have more items to juggle on both sides.
@gamers151 Indeed. There are a number of guards that won't give up their tag unless you scare them properly, either by shooting a limb, or shooting past them (as I do, since it's a little quicker). Unfortunately, that requires a weapon that's capable of killing someone, and unless you have the RGB6 or Stinger - which are so pant-wetting that just the sight of them is sufficient - you have to fire a shot from your weapon.
Hi, I am used to playing the SOCOM and Hitman series and just bought an old metal gear solid 2 game recently so I am playing it for the first time but I find it a really frustrating game, firstly and please correct me if I'm wrong, the game has a real flaw in that R3 can not be used to pan around view while moving about, its such a bad idea, running down corridors, around buildings etc with just one fixed possition unless you press R1 in which you can no longer move around nor keep this view
@PangeaSpreads That's true, the R3 feature was added in MGS3.
What I'd say is use the radar as much as possible; in the Plant mission get to the radar nodes as soon as you enter an area for the first time. Otherwise, do use R1 in short bursts if you're not sure what you're running at, look around corners with L2/R2 etc.
After a while you learn the enemies' routes and likely positions and it becomes easer. It's also useful when without radar to either use the AP Sensor or listen for footsteps.
@thegreatbman Thanks, I'll stay with it for a while, its a real shame though because it seems a very interesting game, but as I said, without the ability to pan the view around the player or at least remain in first person view while moving, this game is seriously flawed, especially when I'm already used to great games like hitman, socom and splinter cell series where you can pan, look through keyholes, gently open doors. its nearly 10 years old though to be fair, is the next one cured of flaws?
the RE series (with the exception of 4 and beyond) have used this (as an example) camera system. its not perfect, thats true, but it does add challenge in a way. you can always lean on a wall to see whats behind a corridor if ure having trouble.
MGS3-4 use the free 3rd person camera that ure after; but for MGS3 (Subsistence only) you can toggle the traditional locked camera or the free view.
@virtuousmission Ya look I stayed with it and now find it hard to put down, for sure its a challenge and evididently very compeling, it is what it is. That said, given the thought and detail put into this game, I would really love if at least one of the two options I mentioned ( pan camera (r3) or stick first person view (you know what i mean, while moving etc.)) was a given option to make sneeking up, entering open areas where walls are not a lean option etc much more fluid and enjoyable?
Unlocking stealth and bandanna isnt that hard. Collect all of them on v.easy, easy, normal and maybe a few on hard and you will be guaranteed these items. The same applys to the plant mission too.
dude, this is like amazing. on the ps2 i am trying to do all of the dogtags for every diffculty. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
@wearethearchers In a nutshell, you have to tempt her to shoot two bursts of bullets before going to the back - I do it by leaning out so she can see me. It's a hard one to get right; a lot of the time you can get both bursts and she still doesn't turn around at the back. Once she turns you get about a second to shoot her each time, but if you miss then it's cutscene time for you.
@Chuckshifty Wish I did. What I'm half working on is a full game run in 8 saves. I'm not very far though. I did, however, just play through Extreme (normally) last night to get a feel for the bosses, as I haven't played most of them on Extreme for years.
@TheBigWhiteGun Each difficulty has different dog tags. To really get "all" the dog tags, you have to 100% each difficulty. You can see your progress in the "Dog Tag Viewer" from "Special" on the main menu. You have to save your game file once you complete the game/chapter, then load that file. You'll be taken to the difficulty selector and you can start collecting on a different difficulty.
@TheBigWhiteGun I've read different things. I read it was 80 for stealth once and I got it when I had 79. I think it's 50% of the dog tags on the tanker if that helps.
damn this game brings back so many memories. I was 11 and i was obsessed with this game i beat this game more then any other mgs game which is about 20 more times. this dude has played it probably 50 cuz he knows the situation so well its memorized . good stuff
@TheBigWhiteGun This is Extreme >_> but it's not much difference. There's the odd extra soldier but it's mainly changing their position/patrol slightly and giving them more hp/stamina/strength/senses.
How do you pick up and drag people? And how do you make them shake to give you items? I make them freeze but after that nothing happens at all. HELP!!!
When you tell them to freeze and stand in front of them, why do you wait for them to wiggle a bit before shooting? Sorry, I've never played MGS, so what is going on there?
@jherico281 In the US, there's a few major differences such as some of the marines getting dog tags. In Asia and Europe, it's pretty much only exploit fixes and bug fixes, due to them getting a later version of SoL.
@Polyuncoki Normally, that'd be the case, yeah, but it's a bit more complicated.
It's a timing aid so I can get an idea of when to run into the corridor. The other reason is because in Extreme Snake catches colds very very quickly, and this is an attempt to avoid it. Doesn't generally work >_> In this run I got medicine to take care of that, which wastes a few seconds, but now I'm able to play the game engine so I never sneeze.
In Extreme, it takes ages to stop leaving footprints, so no point.
@thegreatbman Great strategy, really is impressive how you manage to remember to do all this in one quick run. If I could give you more credit than a thumb up and a favourite I would.
It is actually possible though, believe it or not. If you find one of user AnonymityHope's speedruns of Tanker from... 2007 I think, he shows a method that gets a headshot before the "loop" phase, which probably saves a second or so.
I've never gotten it work myself though, might only be in the Asian version. But we discovered the basics of Olga's loop through AnonymityHope originally; he's an amazing MGS speedrunner.
Fatman, Vamp and Solidus also have loops for that matter.
No matter what I do, I can't hold up the guards like you did. I have to knock them down and wait for them to stand back up and then I can hold them up.
If you're running at the guard in question, it's all direction and distance. You should be pointing within say 20 degrees of their direction, and within about 1.5 metres of their position.
The "freeze" happens about 0.2 seconds after you depress Square, and only at that time. You have to be pointing in the right direction and at the right distance when this happens - you can't just get the gun out then run at a guard and hold him up.
how the fuck do u run while pointing your gun??

so do you have to get usp for some dog tags?
gamers151 1 year ago
@gamers151 Indeed. There are a number of guards that won't give up their tag unless you scare them properly, either by shooting a limb, or shooting past them (as I do, since it's a little quicker). Unfortunately, that requires a weapon that's capable of killing someone, and unless you have the RGB6 or Stinger - which are so pant-wetting that just the sight of them is sufficient - you have to fire a shot from your weapon.

Hi, I am used to playing the SOCOM and Hitman series and just bought an old metal gear solid 2 game recently so I am playing it for the first time but I find it a really frustrating game, firstly and please correct me if I'm wrong, the game has a real flaw in that R3 can not be used to pan around view while moving about, its such a bad idea, running down corridors, around buildings etc with just one fixed possition unless you press R1 in which you can no longer move around nor keep this view
PangeaSpreads 1 year ago
@PangeaSpreads That's true, the R3 feature was added in MGS3.
What I'd say is use the radar as much as possible; in the Plant mission get to the radar nodes as soon as you enter an area for the first time. Otherwise, do use R1 in short bursts if you're not sure what you're running at, look around corners with L2/R2 etc.
After a while you learn the enemies' routes and likely positions and it becomes easer. It's also useful when without radar to either use the AP Sensor or listen for footsteps.
thegreatbman 1 year ago
@thegreatbman Thanks, I'll stay with it for a while, its a real shame though because it seems a very interesting game, but as I said, without the ability to pan the view around the player or at least remain in first person view while moving, this game is seriously flawed, especially when I'm already used to great games like hitman, socom and splinter cell series where you can pan, look through keyholes, gently open doors. its nearly 10 years old though to be fair, is the next one cured of flaws?
PangeaSpreads 1 year ago
@PangeaSpreads i wouldnt really call it a "flaw".
the RE series (with the exception of 4 and beyond) have used this (as an example) camera system. its not perfect, thats true, but it does add challenge in a way. you can always lean on a wall to see whats behind a corridor if ure having trouble.
MGS3-4 use the free 3rd person camera that ure after; but for MGS3 (Subsistence only) you can toggle the traditional locked camera or the free view.
virtuousmission 1 year ago
@virtuousmission Ya look I stayed with it and now find it hard to put down, for sure its a challenge and evididently very compeling, it is what it is. That said, given the thought and detail put into this game, I would really love if at least one of the two options I mentioned ( pan camera (r3) or stick first person view (you know what i mean, while moving etc.)) was a given option to make sneeking up, entering open areas where walls are not a lean option etc much more fluid and enjoyable?
PangeaSpreads 1 year ago
@PangeaSpreads Yeah. Just keep trying dude, it really is an amazing game once you get past it's flaws. (:

Unlocking stealth and bandanna isnt that hard. Collect all of them on v.easy, easy, normal and maybe a few on hard and you will be guaranteed these items. The same applys to the plant mission too.

I don't understand what you're doing in the Olga fight that stops her from talking about her unit.
wearethearchers 1 year ago
@wearethearchers In a nutshell, you have to tempt her to shoot two bursts of bullets before going to the back - I do it by leaning out so she can see me. It's a hard one to get right; a lot of the time you can get both bursts and she still doesn't turn around at the back. Once she turns you get about a second to shoot her each time, but if you miss then it's cutscene time for you.

@Chuckshifty Wish I did. What I'm half working on is a full game run in 8 saves. I'm not very far though. I did, however, just play through Extreme (normally) last night to get a feel for the bosses, as I haven't played most of them on Extreme for years.

TheBigWhiteGun 1 year ago
@TheBigWhiteGun Each difficulty has different dog tags. To really get "all" the dog tags, you have to 100% each difficulty. You can see your progress in the "Dog Tag Viewer" from "Special" on the main menu. You have to save your game file once you complete the game/chapter, then load that file. You'll be taken to the difficulty selector and you can start collecting on a different difficulty.
wearethearchers 1 year ago
@wearethearchers Uh.... how many dog tags do you need to get the bandanna and the stealth?
TheBigWhiteGun 1 year ago
@TheBigWhiteGun 50 for the bandanna and I think like 76 for the stealth. Good luck!
wearethearchers 1 year ago
@wearethearchers Oh.... I thought it was like 35, those basterds at ign said so.
TheBigWhiteGun 1 year ago
@TheBigWhiteGun I've read different things. I read it was 80 for stealth once and I got it when I had 79. I think it's 50% of the dog tags on the tanker if that helps.
wearethearchers 1 year ago
@wearethearchers If in doubt, just get loads of tags in all the difficulties and Bob's your uncle.

If you put it on extreme, would more soldiers be there?
TheBigWhiteGun 1 year ago
@TheBigWhiteGun This is Extreme >_> but it's not much difference. There's the odd extra soldier but it's mainly changing their position/patrol slightly and giving them more hp/stamina/strength/senses.

@jherico281 In the US, there's a few major differences such as some of the marines getting dog tags. In Asia and Europe, it's pretty much only exploit fixes and bug fixes, due to them getting a later version of SoL.

Polyuncoki 1 year ago
@Polyuncoki Normally, that'd be the case, yeah, but it's a bit more complicated.
It's a timing aid so I can get an idea of when to run into the corridor. The other reason is because in Extreme Snake catches colds very very quickly, and this is an attempt to avoid it. Doesn't generally work >_> In this run I got medicine to take care of that, which wastes a few seconds, but now I'm able to play the game engine so I never sneeze.
In Extreme, it takes ages to stop leaving footprints, so no point.
thegreatbman 1 year ago
@thegreatbman Great strategy, really is impressive how you manage to remember to do all this in one quick run. If I could give you more credit than a thumb up and a favourite I would.

It is actually possible though, believe it or not. If you find one of user AnonymityHope's speedruns of Tanker from... 2007 I think, he shows a method that gets a headshot before the "loop" phase, which probably saves a second or so.
I've never gotten it work myself though, might only be in the Asian version. But we discovered the basics of Olga's loop through AnonymityHope originally; he's an amazing MGS speedrunner.
Fatman, Vamp and Solidus also have loops for that matter.

you have to load the same save each time you start a new game, this way they add up from each difficulty
chikenrockgod 1 year ago
no man!
theres 26 dog tags in the tanker in each difficulty.
once you have 20 dog tags (minimum) in very easy.
load the game that you finished and collect the dog tags in other difficulty (GO TO EXTREME ahah) im kidding (collect in medium)
you need at least 76 dog tags to stealth camouflage (tanker)
and 120 dog tags (raiden)
have fun :)
jonaskillerssuk 1 year ago
Different difficulties have different tags. Get all the tags on easy then all the tags on normal and so on.
QTownKamikaze 1 year ago
@omg1836
:3 The solution is simple.
You have to play through the other difficulties and collect the dog tags on those difficulties as well. But make surre it is on the same save file.
Also, 30 Dog Tags = Bandana
You need about 70 or 76 for Stealth Camo.

Can you help me?
NintendoSegaSonyGuy 2 years ago
If you're running at the guard in question, it's all direction and distance. You should be pointing within say 20 degrees of their direction, and within about 1.5 metres of their position.
The "freeze" happens about 0.2 seconds after you depress Square, and only at that time. You have to be pointing in the right direction and at the right distance when this happens - you can't just get the gun out then run at a guard and hold him up.
