Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
- Explore. Explore everywhere. There are a lot of items you can miss that are really handy.
- First (plant) boss soilers: No, you can't beat Fortune. You just need to wait for the elevator.
- Avoid calling rose unless absolutely necessary. Not because saving is bad, but because she's so fucking annoying. You will like the game a lot more if you avoid her whenever possible.
- You can hit the choke button once when holding a guard when they start to wiggle to keep control over them.
- Magazines are broken as shit. Use them, love them.
- 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.
- You'll be asked a question when you start a new game. Say that you played MGS1 and loved it.
- You can hold L1 to auto-aim in first person view and to run and gun in third person.
- In first person view, press L2 and R2 to inch to the sides. If you hold both at the same time, you can stand on your tiptoes.
- Tapping R2 twice will reload your weapon instantly.
- If you call an elevator twice, it will come quicker. This works in all MGS games.
