  • This is the second of several videos that I'm producing showing strategies that will earn a FOXHOUND Rank in MGS3. All footage comes from the HD Collection, and I've tried to narrate as much relevant information as possible.
    This video revisits the opening of Operation Snake Eater as well as the Ocelot Unit fight.

    hands down the most comprehensive analysis i have ever seen, your demonstrations of potential outcomes when things go wrong truly demonstrates your skill and understanding
    your understanding of game mechanics is nothing short of brilliant

    This is the canonical Foxhound guide and James is great. The under the bed strategy is certainly the fastest and safest method I’ve found, and the general insights into mechanics in this series are brilliant.
    Things to note, as I’m sure people use this still and I see it being recommended semi-regularly:
    - before you jump out the window, (assuming everyone is ZZZ already and there are 4 remaining), quickly knock 3 times on the wall next to the locker to make certain the sniper is on that side of the roof when you dive. Depending on the timing of your bed antics, especially if it takes too long, he might be in a position to see you when you dive.
    - the most likely guards to not come into the room are those outside the window. If you’ve handled all the guards who came in the room but there are more than 4 left, peek up out the window left and right to cap the extra dude
    - you can snipe with a combo of the scope and the mk22. With the Mk22 also equipped, open the scope, zoom and mark your target, then manually de-select (ie hold L2 and scroll to none) and *immediately* hold R1. Your aim will be on the mark, just shoot.
    - the approach to the last two guards is baffling. There’s *absolutely* no need to lure that southwest guard by the corner of the wall like that. Just snipe him from far across the lawn. Likewise, the far west guard by the fence should not be approached on the steps like that either, it’s totally unnecessary and very risky. Just run along the south fence after taking out the aforementioned guard, roll to crouch before the middle tree+grass patch to avoid his line of sight, crawl to the barrels and shoot him from behind. Or, you can snipe him with the scope by finding a good angle from far away. The broken ledge on the outside east side of the brick wall works for this.
    - the southeast corner guard has a Mk22 silencer. This is one of the quickest and lowest risk ways to get one. It’s his second drop. With this, you’ll be able to fairly liberally use the Mk22 until after The Fury
    - the smoke grenade offers no tactical advantage whatsoever. Just stay under the bed until they’re all tranqed, make sure there are 4 remaining, and knock on the south wall by the locker before you leave.

      This is super cool! I really enjoyed reading all of it. The scope/Mk22 swap trick in particular is new to me. I'm looking forward to trying it out when I play next!

      I know it's been 3 years but when you say the smoke grenade doesn't offer tactical advantage does that imply they are pretty useless
      sometimes I try to use smoke to cover movements and it seems iffy at best

    tranquilizing the 5 ocelot soldiers under the bed & watching them fall one by one that was hilarious!!
    anyway this walkthrough is incredible,it includes all the stuff you need also it allow you to use many strategies!!

    James,
    Just thought I'd point out, at the last guard ( 14:35 ), you can lure the guard simply by sidling the crates and "peeking" with the L2 button. He'll get a green alert point above his head and will walk around the FRONT of the ruins, where the previous guard's starting position. I hope that makes sense. :P

    I feel very basic watching your walkthrough compared to how I did it. I just wait under the bed, throw a stun when they blast the door down. Stun them with the MK22, crawl under the escape hatch and just tranq the rest keeping my distance and using the L2 and R2 pop out trick. You've certainly put your time in!

    I have been running through these different strategies and just testing each one to try to get a handle on it and so far most of them have gone pretty smoothly.
    However the strategy involving the stun grenade at the bridge keeps eluding me.
    I throw the grenade and time it so I start moving just as the grenade is about to go off. 1 guard is knocked out and I beeline for the last guard, but he always seems to come to and face me when I am way out of cqc range. I noticed that this has happened before where a guard has suddenly spotted me, but I noticed that other guards were still rubbing their eyes. Is there something about how a stun grenade goes off that makes the distraction period inconsistent?

    • @ShockleyHaynes
      @ShockleyHaynes  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Maybe it has something to do with the grenade’s range of effect? I don’t think the guards have different stamina values, so I would guess it’s a combination of their proximity to the explosion & some RNG relating to them walking into range at the right time - a surprise, to be sure, since I tried to “RNG-proof” these strategies. Thanks for sharing this! Always a pleasure to hear how these fare in the wild.

      @@ShockleyHaynes Thank you for the reply. These videos are so old I figured any reply I got would be from another passerby.
      Luckily I actually figured out what was happening. I was throwing the grenade too close to the guard on the left, so the one on the right didn't turn when it landed and was only affected by the noise part of the stun.
