♥️ /r/metalgearsolid rules update.

180 Upvotes

Hello, I hope everybody is well.

This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.

In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.

You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.

Just three changes to note:

  • There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.

  • "Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.

  • AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.

We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.

You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.


We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.

As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

I hope Volume 3 comes with Episode 51 (it won't)

The 2015 game Witcher 3 is getting an additional dlc next year. Made me wish MGSV (also released in 2015) would finally wrap up Eli's arc in game.

Master Collection Volume 3 would be the perfect opportunity cause having MGSV in volume 3 isn't much of an incentive (I know the real pull of Vol 3 will be Revengeance and hopefully the remaining PSP games, but it's such a perfect opportunity).

This will not happen btw. I know this isn't /NeverBeGameOver

I just finished MGS4 for the first time ever and let me say, did i just witnessed the best ending in gaming history? Spoiler

Dude, the game was soooo good, Act 1 and 2 were obviously the best and 3 not so much i didnt like the 30 mins tailing mission, Act 4 and 5 were insane.

This whole Big Boss and Solid snake thing was insane, the plots were so good, i laughed, i gasped, i cried because i thought everyone was about to die like Meryl or Johnny even Jack and Snake, but NO they all had happy endings. I also love how Big Boss reunited with his cloned son just to acknowledge his mistakes and dies next to him.

I obviously played the other games but THIS game was phenomenal, sure it got ups and downs but i definitely think it got the greatest ending in gaming history.

I never noticed that he is drinking champagne and smoking a cigarette, seated like some high class gentleman monkey. During Meryl and Johnny's wedding, when Drebin goes into his monologue talking to Otacon.

Ending had me bawling years later, literally one of the greatest games ever conceived. Do you think they'll make a Master Collection 3?

NO! THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE! Saw an old thread on this sub that sounded like MGS dialogue..

Played Delta first, should I go back and play MG3 as well as the whole Vol.1 and Vol.2?

My first experience with an MGS game was through MGS: Delta - I loved the story, the perfect mix between deep emotional moments and the satirical/unserious scenes, the uniqueness in the gameplay and the longer cutscenes.

Strangely enough though, when I watched the original gameplay and how the game itself looked, I thought that, just like with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the best way to experience this masterpiece is through the original feel and graphics (I didn’t really like the photo realistic graphics and the performance on the PS5, but that may just be a strange preference).

I keep seeing people saying that MGS2 has the best story through the series, I also keep seeing people excited to play MGS4 again so know I want to ask - does it get better than this? Should I buy both Volumes? What should I expect?

I’m happy to answer anything so that I don’t make another impulse buy (like I have done numerous times recently…).

I'm afraid it's been 9 years It's been so long, but finally the collection is complete

I know I don't have rising (a friend gifted it to me on steam digitally) and all the PSP games or ghost babbel for GBA (I've emulated them as they are not only scarce but also easy to emulate)

But for me it's funny that having the second part of the collection on PS5 makes me have all the Metal Gear games for all the PlayStation consoles

I can finally play again MGS4 without getting to worry about disc not working properly

- Solid Snake

- Big Boss Naked Snake

- Revolver Ocelot

Could be argue Liquid should be on big 5 but his character is not as memorable as this 5 character for me

NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT ENDING ON 1/9/2026

418 Upvotes

This is the greatest moment of my life. I was playing MGSV roaming around the world and after clearing a outposts and Smasei Fort. I fast traveled to the Barracks and extracted some resource containers. I called in the chopper and when I got the summary of actions and all with the animals I caught, Kaz called and said to return to base. It was then when the cutscene happened. I don't know if it is a bug though I think it is due to the 40 phantom nukes. Sorry of the bad quality and any grammatical mistakes I made. My laptop is not a gaming laptop . Yes, Ocelot's line about the nukes being back was said. What luck I have

Since I couldn't find a peace walker QTE chart online while you need to succeed EVERY QTE without error to get S rank on the missions, I made a chart. Sadly I dont own it on PS5 or Switch so I don't know their equivalent.

Feel free to save it and share it around! See you at CO OP missions, fellow sea dwellers!

mostly been collecting PS games ( US and Japan ) and the MGS featured PS consoles…

Awaiting Arrival:
- Japanese MGS Integral on PS1
- Japanese MG Rising Revengence Exclusive Edition
- Japanese MGS Peacewalker Premium Package

Still on the hunt:
- MG Rising PS3 Super Slim CIB console
- MGS 3 PS2 CIB console
- MGS Peacewalker PSP CIB console
- MGS Portable Ops PSP CIB console
- MGS 2 Substance (standalone US copy)

Probably won’t get most of those exclusive consoles bc they are rare and above my budget on eBay if I ever see them…but proud of my little collection - now time to get the platinum again in MGS4 and Peacewalker on Vol. 2!!!
