Sahelanthropus is also an extinct hominid genus from central Africa, so we'll probably be fighting Getter Robo Metal Gear on the Africa map.

So, uh...about Huey...


Dr. Strangelove is Otacon's mother.
Strangelove and Huey have a huge falling out after Huey suggests using a young Otacon as a test subject for piloting the Sahelanthropus/ST-84 Metal Gear.
Dr. Strangelove dies after she accidentally gets stuck inside the mammal pod and Huey lets her suffocate inside.
Huey also somehow causes a parasite outbreak at Mother Base and is banished afterward.
Huey goes on to live after being banished from Mother Base and meets Emma's mother.


tl;dr Huey is a shithead.

That doesn't explain anything, or even say he sabotaged it.

Hot Coldman spends most of his time making GBS threads on The Boss and her ideals, so it's pretty drat certain that he set her up to fall knowing full well what Volgin was like.

The third ending takes us back to Arlington, where Big Boss (voiced by Richard Doyle) and Solid Snake (archived audio of David Hayter) have one last heart-to-heart.

Just as Big Boss is about to die from FOXDIE, he sees a final vision of everyone he's met in his adventures, all living peacefully in the perfect Outer Haven.

He hugs Eli and George for the first time. He and Zero finally reconcile. EVA takes him into her arms for a kiss. And he shares one last spar with The Boss.

As Big Boss embraces peace for the first time in decades, Venom suddenly appears.

He exclaims "ROCKET PEACE" and fires his rocket arm at Big Boss's crotch.

Kojima's avoidance of involving or mentioning Solid Snake in this game is really weird and obvious. I think he's only directly mentioned once.

It's cool that this game reconciles "rear end in a top hat who tried to drown his stepdaughter" from MGS2 and "literally Otacon in a wheelchair" from Peace Walker in a pretty perfect way.

The Quiet you fight during the Extreme mission of her boss battle is even different looking, having blonde hair and a soldier uniform. I thought you might get a non-canon copy of her if you beat it after doing mission 45.

I really like the way they handled Zero, actually.

He tries to stop the monster he and Big Boss made, but can't and is doomed to be trapped in his body until he's well over a hundred and Big Boss, who has no idea the lengths Zero went to help him, takes him off life support.

The annoying thing is, if you put two names, it would screw up the message written on the back of the photograph where Big Boss is like "Dear [NAME]. You're Pretty Good, Love Vic Boss" because it makes it laughably impersonal as if Big Boss gives one to every single MSF member and just switches the name around.
That actually seems like something that Big Boss would do. Or at least Miller.

The game provides a good explanation for why Mantis joined up with FOXHOUND: Liquid is a loving endless wellspring of impotent hate and anger.

My favorite part of the plot was when five African children and Eli fixed a metal gear by themselves and then flew with it to the sunset. The gear ever fluttered its hands a little.

Huey: It needs to be piloted by a child, it should be able to be fixed by a child!

Deep down, Venom knows that Paz is dead, and that's why he doesn't mention it to Miller or Ocelot.
