I started playing Metal Gear Solid 2 and I'm really bad at it. It took me a while to get the hang of MGS1, but I don't get MGS2 at all. I feel like I'm missing some important things. I looked up the controls, so at least this time I'm not going into it without knowing how to incapacitate guards or something, but I'm still getting completely destroyed every step of the way. Give me some hot tips and tricks to play MGS2.

Without knowing specifically what you need help with, my advice is to make activating nodes a priority, making sure you don't step on loud surfaces because there are a shitload around, and press up against walls and peek out before going into a hallway, the overhead camera makes it difficult for you to see enemies before they see you. Another good piece of advice is just rushing guards when they see you, if they don't physically call an alert in then it won't trigger an alert.

Knocking people out is always a bad idea, it seems. I have yet to knock someone out that didn't either wake up and call guards, or wake up and call guards while I'm trying to drag him to a locker.

If you're on the tanker abuse first-person mode and the tranq pistol. You can also choke people out by just holding them and tugging their neck when they start struggling. E: I think it's generally easier to kill people and move on in MGS2 than going full non-lethal. I'd just snap necks and shoot people until you've figured the game out more. A lot of MGS2 is knowing level transitions and speeding your way through rooms.

MGS2 is a hard game, so it's not because you're retarded. Use first-person often and be very careful until you activate the nerd, er, i mean nodes. It's been too long since I played it to give advice more specific than that. Good luck.

I haven't played it in years but using first person view helps a lot when you're in a more open area like the walkways between struts. You can go into first person and scope out the area before you start. The guard movements are also a lot quicker and snappier like when they turn around so you kind of wanna move fast between bits of cover and concealment rather than slowly inching around in most areas.

I once played a couple minutes of MGS2 at a game store when it came out. I couldn't play for more than 10 seconds without getting spotted. I figured I'd be better at it now, but I'm not.

That said, it's clearly a good game. The opening cutscene is gorgeous, there's an insane amount of attention to detail, and movement is really smooth and fluid. I wish the crawling controls were better, but crawling seems less essential than in MGS1, so I'm okay with that.

I figured I'd be better at it now, but I'm not. alerts arent as big of a deal as they are in MGSV. so when you do get one just hide for a bit and you'll be fine. when i replayed this a few months ago i just hauled rear end everywhere i went since guards wont notice you until you are right up on them. i never did hold ups and just popped around corners sniping with tranq.

mgs2 is loving hard and one of the few games id suggest playing on easy first. the tutorial bit with snake where it's setup for you 2 win is fine, but once you get to the tanker and dont even have radar it gets brutal

Use your tranquil gun. Make codec calls to see where to go

I forgot, if you press L2 or R2 while in first person you'll lean to the side, and if you hold both down Raiden will stand on his tip-toes. This is really useful for peeking over stuff.

mgs2 is actually really easy because you can just roll around knocking people over then holding them up when they get back to their feet get all the dog tags never get caught and defuse the bombs also if you really blow just shoot peoples walkie-talkies as you enter a new area with your brand spankin new innovative first person view mode another thing you can do is use your codec to call people who can give you advice on where to go make sure you stand under peepee if you see it that stuff tastes great and refills your batteries theres a bomb you have to shoot behind an american flag and one being lifted around by a cypher or whatever the hell those drone thigns are called there are a lot of bombs in this game because some chubby chode wants to eat and grow fat i hope all this useful advice goes into your thick head and you win the video game because thats what i think everyone here wants for you man they want you to win
