In some situations, I prefer rambo style esp. first round of gameplay.

I tried to stealth through the gun with the usual camouflage, tranq gun, and good ol’ box and barrel drum. After all, it is the way the game was meant to be played – as a tactical espionage game.

But hey, sometimes, gun blazing is the only option (fun way?), but you get more of a challenge and satisfaction through the stealth way.

Unfortunately I only played the very beginning and stopped, I need to go back to finish MGS3 first (right now fighting the Fury, I think I’m half way thru) since I want to get the story before meeting “Big Mama”.

I’m horrible at FPS and can’t aim w/ the reticule for my life in a fast pace gun fight, so I think I would sneak my way thru the game, or use the M9 traq.

This weekend I just finished playing Sons of Liberty in Japanese, and I think I like the story much more than playing it in Eng. back then. Raiden doesn’t sound whiny at all, in fact he’s voiced by the stoic Horiuchi Kenyu, you can’t get any more manly than that. I can’t wait to see the rematch between Raiden and Vamp in MGS4. At least I would get to meet “Raikov” very soon :)

I kill the crap out of people. Just over 300 kills? I think I had over 300 kills in Act 2 alone.

I like the fact that I can pick off enemies at my leisure and let killing be my stealth camo. I think that’s the reason why I may actually finish this MGS as opposed to all the others where I couldn’t play the game for longer than an hour, despite appreciating all the game design that went into it.

I mainly went with the tranquilizer gun. Prefer to knock them out rather than kill them. I had to switch for the Frogs though. They wouldn’t seem to go down at first.

I might try and do a 0 Kill (down from 56) and 0 Alert (down from 36) run soon once I find out whether some alerts/kills actually count or not.

Um…neither, really!

I just let the war mongers have fun in their little warzone…and on occasion, I’ll snipe a headshot or two for my own benefit.

You don’t have to go Terminator on them, or do it the MGS-way; you can just let the local militia do all that for you; you just have to be careful not to get in the way. :-D

I’m more of a shooter, which is why after reading that it’s possible to play this game without sneaking around, I’m tempted to pick it up as well as a PS3. I never got into previous MGS games because I have no patience for hiding behind things and being sneaky.
