What difficulty level are you playing in?

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

Get your bib and your boppy and go WAH WAH WAH to your mommy and then she'll play the game better than you.

Also, forget about the whole not-killing thing, and just aim carefully for the radio and the head of everyone in the immediate area.

Or run.

Yeah if your new to the series start on easy or maybe very easy... It's a kickass series. Maybe you should try the first MGS game for PS1.

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

I beat MGS and MGS2 without trouble.

Can't do a damn thing in this game.

On normal.

The camera is atrocious.

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

Which version are you playing with? If it's the original, switch to first-person a lot. If it's Subsistence, the camera should be a little bit better, but first-person view still helps a lot.

Also, if you get caught, either kill the mofos, run away like hell for the exit, or do both. Believe it or not, there's not an unlimited supply of guards, and EVENTUALLY HQ will cut them off.

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

I have the original version.

Also, I try to pick up the shotgun in that warehouse place or whatever but when I try to use it it's not in my inventory!

Can you shoot out their radios with the tranquilizer gun?

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

MGS3 is definetly the easiest of the series, have you tried the fake death pills?

I'm definetly not teh_masterer when it comes to MGS (i get spotted ALOT) but I did go through w/out killing anyone </yayforme>

Also use camo, it help ALOT.

You haven't found out about the equipment menu?

Press start, go to your equipment and you'll see it lists what you have on you at the moment, and what your ENTIRE list of available equipment is. You need to put the shotgun in your backpack if you want to use it. You won't have immediate access from your quick menu. They do this because different equipment has different weight, and the more weight your backpack has, the faster you'll lose stamina.

I hated MGS3...though MGS1 and 2 i loved.

You have a tranquilizer gun... use it.

If you get spotted, run far away, equip some grass camo, and hide in tall grass. Unless the enemies walk right on top of you they'll never spot you.

Unlike the previous Metal Gear Solids, you CANNOT walk up behind someone. You actually have to sneak. Use the d-pad to sneak quietly, otherwise enemies will hear you when you're about 5 feet away from them.

The motion detector is your friend as the sonar makes too much noise.

CQC is also your friend. If an enemy spots you and they haven't radioed yet, CQC them into the ground and tranq or shoot them.

I love MGS3 because you can play it however you want to.

In your case I'd suggest killing the hell out of everything.

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

Highwind, I'm right there with you. I found MGS 1 to be easy, MGS2 was a breeze (the only person I kiled in that entire game was Vamp because I never found the tranq sniper rifle), but I hate MGS3. I constantly get owned. And then Mora makes fun of me.

[John Mora]

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

WAAAAH WAAAAH I'M PATRYN AND I DON'T REALIZE THAT THE REASON I'M LOSING ALL OF MY STAMINA WAS BECAUSE I WAS WADING IN SLUDGE AND HAVE TONS OF LEECHES ON ME AND I COULD EASILY FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG BY CALLING PARA-MEDIC WAAAAH

Re: HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLAY MGS3?

I gave up on the whole non-killing route as well. Just went about killing everyone like crazy -- even when HQ is alerted, it's relatively easy to handle the onrush of guards simply for the fact that it takes FOREVER to die. I don't remember being able to take nearly as many bullets in previous MGS installments.
The only bothersome thing is performing all the surgery afterwards.
