1960's...After WW2, the world was divided into the East and the West which caused...The Cold War. 1 962...The President of the U.S. receives information that the Soviet Union had deployed nuclear weapons in Cuba. This only showed the world this might be the Nuclear Armageddon. After negotiations, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw their weapons from Cuba. Little did we know, there was a secret condition in the deal that put an end to all this. A man named Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov, a Russian scientist who defected to the West, was sent back to the Soviet Union. Sokolov was going to be the designer of a frightening and deadly weapon. With Sokolov back in the Soviet Union, the Russians now can resume it's development. 1964...Realizing the urgency of the situation, the CIA forms a plan to recapture Sokolov. They dispatch the FOX Unit to Sokolov's facility, South of the Soviet fortress of Groznyj Grad. Led by former SAS member Major Zero, FOX is a next-generation special forces unit that will operate as specialized combat group and as a covert intelligence outfit. The FOX unit sends a single agent into enemy territory to carry out solo sneaking missions backed by radio support. One man is sent on a mission call the Virtuous Mission. But only later failing the mission he is sent back out on Operation Snake Eater to take down a weapon of mass destruction, a nuclear device called the Shagohod. The man's code name is...Naked Snake. __**METAL GEAR SOLID PORTABLE OPS**__** -Platforms:PSP ** Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops is a new portable gaming experience for your Playstation Portable. You can play online, create your own squadron, play with many characters and play your own sing mission. The story fills the gap the saga left behind, taking place between Operation Snake Eater and the Outer Heaven incident, between Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear. It takes place in 1970, six years after Big Boss's Snake Eater mission. I wonder if any hippies will be fighting in this game! Just kidding, John Travolta will not only be dancing but also killing! This story starts a series of events including Big Boss's mission to destroy the FOX unit resulting in the formation of Fox-Hound, Big Boss going against his own son, Big Boss betraying his country and creating Outer Heaven. You guys wanted a damn good MGS game on the PSP, you got it! __ **Story** __ The trailer from E3 kicks off with our newly renowned, Big Boss waking up in a prison. After talking to Para-Medic, he finds out that the Major was taken by the military under suspicion of treason. If you don't know, Big Boss left the FOX unit around this time. There is now talk of a revolt taking place in South America that was started by the recently disbanded Fox unit. While talking to Para-Medic, he also is informed that he is being charged for appointing the revolt. Big Boss now has to take out his old unit in order to prove his innocence. He has 2 objectives, the first is to disarm the Fox members who are organizing the resistance and the second is to destroy the new "ultimate weapon". Since it is impossible to go alone, Big Boss has to recruit people and start a squadron which results in the new unit, Fox-Hound. Some later characters might be making their appearance such as Frank Jaeger also known as Gray Fox and possible cameo that starred in the trailer, a ninja cloaked in black wielding a sword, this might be Black Color from Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. When Boss goes to destroy the new Metal Gear, he is too late. A new Shagohod inspired Metal Gear, situated on top of a Saturn V rocket, launches out of a missile silo. Will this be the beginning of the end for Big Boss? __ **Gameplay** __ The new Metal Gear Solid game has no card flipping strategies in sight. This new installment for the PSP carries some of the gameplay from the other Metal Gear games. The game does have a 3d camera just like Subsistence and it does have the first person viewer to help look or to fire your weapon. Big Boss is now rocking a new CQC battle suit that comes with a slicker design, a cooling system and a CQC enhancer, he's doing pretty good for himself! Along with the new outfit, the Close Quarters Combat is coming back into play just like when is was introduced in Snake Eater. The newest part of the gameplay is that you have to recruit people to make your own squadron to fight in battles. The people you recruit also can include characters from Snake Eater like the Major or Ocelot, anyone you want, yes you get to play as them too. Even the cutscenes will be very unique, Ashley Wood is going to do the art of the game just like the comic series. Don't forget you get to play online with all of your favorite characters, how awesome is that? On the online mode, you create custom squads along with friends but due to the new "white flag" system, when you die, you don't respawn unless you surrender to the enemy and join them. Hideo Kojima wanted this game to stand out from the others and he is definitely doing a good job on that. [|top]

Inside Games
__** Snake Vs. Monkey **__ Snake vs. Monkey is a mini-game included within Metal Gear Solid 3 which crosses over with Sony Computer Entertainment's Ape Escape series. The objective of the game is to capture all the monkeys within several stages (all set in areas from the main game) using a stun gun. When the player clears a stage, new equipment, such as the active sonar and stun grenades, will become available that makes capturing monkeys easier. The player is awarded with the Banana camo pattern and a monkey mask after clearing all stages and achieving top scores respectively. __** Nightmare Game **__ Metal Gear Solid 3 contains a secret mini-game called the Nightmare Game aka Guy Savage (as stated in the credits). In this game, the player controls as a character who uses two large blades to slash his way through an army of zombie like monsters. The Nightmare Game is completely unrelated to the storyline of Metal Gear Solid 3, and bears no resemblance to MGS3 in controls, graphics, or gameplay. It is, however, very competent as a stand-alone game. It bears some resemblance to BloodRayne 2 in gameplay. [|top]

The Philosophers' Legacy is a massive fund that was collected during World War II by various powerful and influential individuals in the United States, the USSR, and China collectively known as The Philosophers.

Facts
The Medal awarded to Snake in the oval office at the end of the game is the Distinguished Service Cross. The Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor; while engaged in an action against an enemy of the Unites States; and/or while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing/foreign force. In late 2002, Hideo Kojima and other members of the staff planned to visit the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC for research purposes. They ended up canceling the trip because of the Beltway sniper attacks. Volgin's chant when he first meets Snake ("Kuwabara, kuwabara") is an old chant believed to help ward off thunderstorms. The character of "The End" (as well as the concept of The Boss being Naked Snake's mentor) was based on a scrapped member of Dead Cell from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty called Old Boy (sometimes referred as Oldman). Old Boy (according to the MGS2 gameplan) was a 100-year old former Nazi general who wielded a Panzerfaust as his weapon of choice and was also a mentor to several soldiers, including Big Boss himself. His character was written out of the Metal Gear Solid 2 script because they could not find a way to fit it into the story. The character design of The Boss was based on actress [|Charlotte Rampling]. The character of Naked Snake in the game was designed after Sean Connery's portrayal of James Bond. This was done, since in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the character design of Big Boss himself was also originally modeled after the older Sean Connery. The date of the "Virtuous Mission", 24 August 1964, was Hideo Kojima's first birthday. It was originally 24 August 1963 (his exact birth date), but was moved up a year because he wanted the 22 November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy to factor into the story. The codename of the character "Major Tom" is a reference to the 1969 song "Space Oddity" by David Bowie, which is about an astronaut called Major Tom. [|top]

A Clearer View
Revolver Ocelot is the son of The Sorrow and The Boss. Revolver Ocelot was supposedly a former member of the Patriots Under Construction...
