* Magazines are broken as shit. Use them, love them.
* Don't underestimate the usefulness of the humble Magazine, experiment with it.
 
* You should codec everyone after every major event because it puts the story into perspective. Rose talking about fucking movies isn't wholly out of place when you take in the ending and neither is Campbell and his "REMEMBER YOUR VR TRAINING." Pliskin is the most important because he knows the back story for every boss which actually highlights their insane motivations.

* Use the M9 from a distance and you can clear a section of guards really easily.


* Some guards constantly radio back to base reporting their progress, so if you get rid of them the game sends out a search party to your location. Either hide the body quickly in a locker before they find him or shoot his radio with your SOCOM.

* There is a lot of cutscenes in this game, so be aware that you might spend a long time not actually playing the game.


* Always log into nodes your first time through the area, it really helps for later on.

* Chaff Grenades disrupt radio communications.


* The angle can be finicky sometimes, but you can knock guards out, even on extreme, with one punch to the balls if aimed properly. It helps to hold them up to get a feel for this.

* There are a bunch of fun easter eggs. Some include conversations between Snake & Otacon based on what pictures were taken in the tanker. Call Otacon while in a locker looking at a model poster in 1PV. You can hear Johnny (the guard from MGS1) twice in the game. The first time is during a cutscene in the Shell 1 core, and the second is while on the oil fence when Emma walks behind one of the supports .
