yes,
don't kill them

don't kill them and pull up gamefaqs, it's gets easier after the first time through the game.

actually, you can get through just fine by sniping everyone ever. Well, less in the first one. For that, i'd say learn how to run and shoot.

>>3592193
Well I know. But I keep getting caught and I have to shoot.

I was wondering if anyone had tips for sneaking around more specifically. Like, the one guy where the socom silencer was I couldn't like strangle or anything to get to the silencer, and I also couldn't get to the silencer without him seeing me.

Somehow, throwing a grenade at him didn't attract attention.

You never kill them.
That's what being "sneaky" is all about.

I don't recall Rambo being classified as "sneaky". Moron.

It's important to wait a while and watch patrol paths. Don't kill them, knocking them out is alright. Make sre to take things slowly.

Go slower.

Use the wall knock. You have it for a reason.

Jesus it's not hard, just wait till everyone is facing away and move from cover to cover. Pretend their eyeballs shoot lasers at you.

HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO QUOTE YOUR POST
DAMN

Don't even bother with killing anyone except bosses/mandatory kills.

First time I played a Metal Gear ('twas the twin snakes) I played it on extreme mode with game over upon discovery enabled. It was fucking hard, but I quickly learned how to sneak behind backs and break necks, and that kind of stuff.

Go on very easy and don't even bother hiding. It is fun, but you aren't going to play it how it is supposed to be played.

>>3592234
Actually, Rambo was pretty sneaky (at least in the first one...)

He was hidding in the forrest and setting up booby traps and shit.

>>3592275 Go slower.

This is pretty much it. I don't have that much patience though, so I always played the games on very easy.

Except for MGS4. I played that on normal 1st time through because I wanted to elongate the experience, but it was kind of easy, so I did it again on hard.
Then again, I used the scoped M14 on my 1st playthrough and just killed all the guards.

>>3592443
I kinda of know...

I just didn't had any better example in my mind.
I was hoping no jerk would expose how fail my post was...
Thank you faggot.

Well I'm still playing on just EZ and I'm royal sucking.

lawls, Ijust accidentally backtracked to the tank room when I'm supposed to be in the warhead room taking an elevator.

Fuckin lame, man.

But I guess I just need to be more patient...I'm not used to having to be that way.

MGS has a simple formula for success.
1: Wait.
2: Watch.
3: Plan.
4: Move.

Each time you get to a new area, you need to watch the movement patterns of every enemy in that area, for MGS and MGS2, it's easy to do as you have a radar. After watching, you should devise look for a hole in their patrol pattern. Once you find it, move out. Easy.

MGS3 is majorly easy, just put on some grasslandish camo and move while prone while there are enemies in the area, when you have a clear path, just run.

>>3592638
Am I the only one who translates this into

1.shoot enemy in head while hidden
2.shoot people who investigate
3.repeat until no more enemies
4.leave

>>3592690
...
5. "What's going on?! Respond!"
6. "Communications have ceased with the armory team. Backup unit, get down there."
7. Repeat again and again and again...

on MGS1, you can go through nearly the whole game without killing anyone or getting spotted without breaking a sweat. the guards are spaced far enough apart that you can just run past them. there are a lot of bullshit moments in the second half MGS1 which just take a bit of practice, but it is overall very easy. for the final metal gear fight, get within medium range of it to attack so you don't get continually raped by the missiles. alternatively, you can throw chaff grenades the entire fight, but it is still harder. for sniper wolf part 2, use the nikita.

in MGS2, make use of the first person view a lot in areas you don't have the node for. try looking for flashlights in dark places. during the fatman fight, you can chase him around and punch him down (or shoot him until he falls down) and kill him before disabling even the second bomb. the final bomb is located under fatman's body

in MGS3, make sure you fucking get the thermal goggles and the game becomes ez mode. make use of the AP sensor until then. also, in the alligator area, make sure you get the croc cap because that comes in handy later and you can get comical reactions out of a lot of the bosses if you wear it during the fight. during the fear fight, throw rotten food around and you'll win within like 1 minute. for the end, don't bother playing sniper gaemes with him. run around until he find you, then once you see where he is, make a mad dash towards his position and begin chasing him using the thermal goggles once he runs away. you can chase him around for the rest of the fight like that and merely continually hold him up until he died (plus you get the camo, which is really good later). for the boss, use snow camo and use the sniper rifle the entire time. you can go through nearly the whole fight without her spotting you.

MGS1 sucks and is hard because of shitty camera and no 1st person. You should get a gamecube and Twin Snakes for a real MGS experience.

lol "critically acclaimed"

like most critically acclaimed things metal gear sucks.
boring walks around cameras and nearsighted enemies followed by long ass pointless cutscenes to point out that war is totally bad (other things that are totally bad include writing and voice actors) and then they throw in a couple sucky gimmicks (like the switching control port guy) to remind you after an hour of cutscenes that its actually a game.

way to waste 30 bucks OP.

>>3592163
Give up on MGS
Play Halo

It's probably more your style of game.

play hitman 2. you'll learn to be godly at sneaking.
