Theres actually no one here. Not a single enemy and the area is fairly large. Sometimes a truck drives through and there is a base up the hill with enemies but this is outside the target area.

If it's the one I'm thinking of.

There's a sniper team on the cliff between the two roads.

Spoilered the solution just in case.

The area has a river with a dam and a base above the dam.

One thing I feel is a bit strange is the fact that there is a guerrilla faction fighting the Russians in Afghanistan yet you never see them. I loved playing the two warring factions against each other in the first two chapters in MGS4. Bit of a missed opportunity tbh.

What number side op is it?

EDIT: If it's op 11 Extract the Highly Skilled Soldier 1

Go to the western most road then climb up the south-west side of the hill and you should see a team of 3 soldiers looking east. You want the sniper.

Does it benefit me to clear out bases and camps, destroy AA guns and communication radars etc or am i wasting my time?

Evade

The big radar trailers are worth destroying, the rest isn't really of too much benefit.

By destroying air defence radars you open up more landing zones. You can even accidently complete later missions by blowing stuff up early by exploring. Mission 4 can be completed by accident and then when you attempt to do it it tells you that you already destroyed the equipment earlier so well done.

Played for another couple of hours tonight. The games going on the back burner for me. Just a bit bored with it and there's other things i have that i want to play more/finish.

Might play it when i have nothing else early next year.

I blow up everything and steal everything. Spent an age at the 2 very large bases taking every single container.

Does anyone extract injured soldiers by fulton all? I do and I find it's a mix of some that do or some that don't make it to mother base.

Yes its supposed to be like that, injured soldiers have less of a chance of surviving your fulton. This was to encourage you to do more tactical takedowns, it was outlined some where at the start of the game.

AbusesToilets

Anyone had any luck taking out the Ghosts without killing them?

Did the Honey Bee mission there and tried taking them on with the Tranq pistol, but that was laughable. Ended up just running away from them. They also seem to not take notice of distractions like tossing a mag.

Had fun fultoning my 2nd bear earlier, fecker takes almost all my tranq rds to down.

There's a variant skull unit later on that I tranqed but the main ones don't seem to be affected much by tranquillisers.

I put them out of their misery, if its raining and they are in a puddle they drown and you hear little bubble noises. :eek:

Zero-Cool

Was on Mission 10 but said I'd do an important side op first and ended up stumblin onto episode 11. That....was.....classssss!

spiritcrusher

Expecting this to be delivered when i get home this evening. However although i have Ground Zeroes from PS+ i haven't played it. Would it really be recommended to finish it before starting?

Wossack

I think you'd regret not going GZ first

Crucifix

The main story mission of GZ is only an hour or two long, I'd say it's worth playing it

I completed GZ in about 2-3 hours, and I wasn't trying to blast through it so I probably would just play it.

I ordered my copy off the Game Collection on Friday and it got delivered yesterday, really impressive service, first time using them but I will definitely be using them again.

EDIT: It's orderable everywhere in Argos on PS4 at the moment if people are looking to get it in a bricks and mortar store

Xenji

Argos will not have them in till next Monday though in quite a few stores, still better than going into hmv or Gamestop though.

Raced through mission 10 and got a B ranking. Wearing a Lewis Hamilton tee while playing the game is paying off

I learnt the hard way that enemy soliers drown in a few inches of water.

I was doing the first mission in the 2nd map and there is an area under the complex where you are ankle deep in water. I lured a very high ranking soldier down there to kidnap him, was forced to tranq him but when I went over to extract him I found he had drowned in the water...

James Forde

Apparently there's an issue with having quiet as your buddy on mission 29 &42

Stops game progress.

Can't link it from twitter as I'm at work.

Its morbidly hilarious that you can literally drown guards in a shallow puddle. Does it trigger a caution if the other guards spot the floater?

challengemaster

Had a small annoyance on a side op where you have to extract a bird. All was going well, D-Dog located it. Shot with the tranq sniper first go... went to find it



Yup. It fell down the valley into the gigantic river. The only fúcking place that you can't enter in the entire game and the bird fell into it.

On a side-note, wormhole fulton wahey. Can finally get those 3 containers at the airport.

Noopti

Was playing last night and there was a bit with a prisoner and some guys beating on him. Then they threw him into a jeep and drove off. So I thought that would restart the checkpoint and try and get the prisoner. So I restarted and legged it around the base they were at, and further up the road they would travel. Knocked out a guard on the way and thought I would leave him prone on the road to act as bait for my cunning trap.

I waited....and waited. Finally I heard the jeep coming up the road, so I hid behind some rocks. I couldn't see the road really so I just heard it getting closer and closer.....it sped by me and then THUD! And it kept on driving. They smashed into their comrade and sent him 30 feet further up the road and kept on driving. :mad:

Do people play with reflex mode on?
