attention....this is not a game walkthrough. partly because im too lazy to write in depth analysis, mainly because i dont remember most of the stuff that happened in the game.
for most, if im correct, ps gamers, metal gear solid series is one of the best games around. for the ps2 generation, we have mgs2 and mgs3. i know mgs4 is already out two milleniums ago, but i dont have a ps3 and the luxury of time to finish all the games in the world. this is about metal gear solid 2 : sons of liberty. i wont bother telling you the plot because its not in my head right now, so i'll just give some facts about the gameplay.
im not sure whether it's that hard to finish extreme mode.....because i can, and i guess that makes everyone capable of the same. i started with "very easy" mode and jumped straight to "extreme". so from 10 rations, i can carry only 2. from surviving multiple gunshots, i get killed from 2 or 3. you know where this is going. so to adapt to such extreme situation, you need skills, and technique. but im not that gifted in that sense. so i just managed with curiosity and insanity. so with that, and no other walkthrough, except tips from exson, i discovered some pretty cool stuff that i see as a joke.....or loopholes in the game.
1. those locked lockers can be opened by using c4s in the right places....though the stuff inside are not that good.
2. the box trick can do wonders. those cardbox can be more than just for hiding. i perfected fortune at the elevator place using the box. just keep equiping and unequiping the box, and the chances of getting hit is lowered.....er that, or im just lucky. the box can even be used when you are running from enemy fire. instead of running around like normal, the box can help you dodge some bullets. the same method, equip and unequip.
3. the nikita trick. when you join hands with snake in arsenal gear to fight those ninjas whatsoever, just take cover behind some box and use the nikita to attack to minimise injury. since you've got a lot of missiles left, and perfect cover, why not? the only drawback is that snake will take your share of damage. so he dies faster, and you are soon to follow.
4. the hanging trick. i perfected vamp using this method. no need for any shooting.....no guns, no stingers.....just c4s, claymores, and you'll be laughing your way through. you can hang at the outer sides of the pool...that is probably known, and vamp will come to you, more like walking instead of charging at you in normal situations. so just set a trap near the hanging area. before you hang on the edge, deploy some claymores around you. he will either come from the left or the right, and its your call whether to use c4 or claymores. i paired them together as one set. one on the left, one on the right. if he comes from the right, he'll get the c4 and if he's from the left, he'll get the claymore. i used this method because you can always walk pass your own c4s when you deploy them. its not pretty being surrounded by your own claymores. he'll jump back into the water once he hit the trap. use that moment to set a new trap again. just repeat that and before you know it, you've win without a scratch. though in my case, i took the lights out first, because the shadow trick is deadly.
5. hanging trick agaisnt solidus. i did not perfect solidus, because i wasnt in the mood. lets just say "8 series" played the major role in that. anyway, it is possible to perfect solidus. the same trick, hang on the edges of the roof. he'll walk to you, and just before he strikes, climb up. you'll be invincible when your climbing up, use the his opening, and strike him down. then he'll use those missiles. now, if you're in a good position, you just need to run back to the edge and hang there till the misiles are gone. but if you are certain they are going to hit you even when you are hanging, just climb up. again, you'll be invincible momentarily when you do that. the key is timing. the same applies to solidus' second form. but this is where i lost my mood. my advice, pray hard for luck, and have good timing. in 5 trials, you should perfect solidus....if you are lucky of course.
6. there was this one time, when i was hiding in the locker, and the soldier opened it. in normal cases, you are dead. but, i switch immediately to the box, and he just didnt see me. cant say it'll work for you though.
7. after you defeat those RAYs, theres a scene where solidus will use one of his robotic arms to suck the life out of you. well, no tips here, but just give the triangle buttton all you got. i did, and my hp, was.........exactly the way it was after RAYs. haha.
8. when necessary, use emma as human shield. unlike raiden, emma can survive more than 3 gunshots. tried and tested.........and computer geek can survive bullets much better than a super soldier. so, feel free to be evil.
thats all i guess.....the rest are lost memories. haha
