Metal Gear History

[Almeidaboo]

Can someone tell me all the Metal Gear games and the chronologic order of the events please?

[Meiscool-2]

Let's see....

MGS3, MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS2. I do believe, is the order they go in.

[Desimodontidae]

Ahhh.....

I know that Big Boss and Snake from Snake Eater is one in the same... and Ocelot is The Boss and The Sorrow's son.... I think. Solid and Liquid are clones of Big Bosses DNA... and whole bunch of other crap. Confusing as hell.

[Almeidaboo]

Sorry if this's asking too much, but IŽd like to know the system in which the game was released...Cause I wanna play em all, and I need those infos (and looking for them was really painful)...

BTW, sorry to say, but Solid Snake pwns Chuck Norris. And Sylvester Stalone.

[Meiscool-2]

MGS3 (PS2) , MG1 (NES), MG2 (Either SNES or NES), MGS1(PS), MGS2(PS2).

I think some of them are out of the Xbox too, and MGS1 is also on the gamecube.

[coreystranick]

If you want to play all the metal gears, you would have to get the ones for Snes or whatever, like the one were Solid has to go and kill big boss in Zanzibar and everything( Where Grey Fox aka Ninja is assumed dead, before appearing in MGS1 on the PS)
I used to have a list of all the MGS games, but sadly lost it.  could look it up if you'd like.

Zanzibar Land, if I remember correctly.

Hey, don't bitch at me, I just wanted to point out the fact that they added "Land" at the end.

[Apex]

Actually MG2 was for the failure system called MSX for computer...

You're better off just getting the first two MG games in Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistance. They are both included.

Oh, and Les infant trebles (I don't know how the fick to spell it.) Is the cloning project of Solid, Liquid and Solidus. They were cloned from Big Boss....


Did the Acid ones have anything to do with the actual plot?

Oh, and don't forget his trip to Nintendo land coming up.

About Metal Gear 2, there are two versions. You have the American version (Snake's Revenge) which doesn't follow the story and is almost the same as the first and you have the Japanese version, which featured new gameplay (better) and another thrilling story. If you can get your hands on the Jap one, play it.


EDIT: If you want to know anything about the MGS ones, ask me. I know almost everything. It's been 6 years since I last played MGS1 and I still know everything. Every single map, most of the dialouge and events.

Okay Solid Drace, is Snake left or right handed?

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

Where was Snake born? and more importantly, does he like cheese?

*SPOILERS FOR TEH WIN*


The Philosophers were formed by key leaders in the US and Soviet Union as an organization to orchistrate public affairs and keep the world in order as they see fit. However, petty arguments between the members caused a fracturing of the organization, caused mainly by the death of the last founding member by 1930. By the end of World War II the organization was in total dissarray, and during this confusion, the Philosopher's Legacy was stolen.

The Legacy was a huge sum of money, valued at around one hundred billion dollars, that the Philosophers planned to use to bring the world back into stability under their control. The Legacy was the result of the US, the Soviet Union, and China lumping huge amounts of their money together, then dividing it up into several different banks around the world.

=Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - PS2=

The theft and recovery of the Legacy is the main focus of MGS 3: Snake Eater, and you can find specifics there (I've never played it myself, so I don't know much more than the general idea). Either way, the US branch of the Philosophers recovers the money, and they break off, forming their own organization called The Patriots.

The main operative in MGS 3 is Big Boss. After helping recover the money, he is told that The Boss, his former mentor and one of the main antagonists in MGS 3, was trying to uncover the location of the Legacy by going undercover, and was forced to take the blame for a nuclear strike against a Soviet complex containing important information on a special type of tank, the precursor to Metal Gear. Big Boss, at the time called Naked Snake, was forced to kill his mentor so that the Soviets would not blame the US for the strike. After he found out that she was killed just to take the blame for the US, his patriotism towards his country faded, eventually leading to him believing that soldiers can only live in a world of war, and that the government was nothing but a sham.

In the meantime, however, he participated in several successful missions under the US government, eventually becoming a mercenary and working around the world as a soldier for hire. It was during this time that the US Government took Big Boss (unconscious at the time) and extracted genes from his body to create three babies with the same genes as Big Boss. They were seperated at birth and supposedly grew up without knowledge of their heritage. Snake was kept in the US and Liquid was sent to the UK.

Solid Snake was the child that recieved all of the recessive genes in Big Boss. However, his strong personality and superior combat skills contradict this. Liquid Snake, on the other hand, gained all of the superior genes, but was told later in his life that he had recieved the recessive genes, leading him to become obsessed with outperforming Snake. The third clone was Solidus Snake, who recieved both the recessive and superior genes, and was considered to be the perfect clone of Big Boss.

=Metal Gear 1 - NES and MSX2=

Solid Snake grew up to become a member in FOX HOUND, led by his own genetic father, Big Boss. In 1995, he was sent by Big Boss to infiltrate Outer Heaven, a military state that was developing a walking battle tank, Metal Gear, in order to create a new world where mercenaries were valued in everlasting combat. Snake infiltrated Outer Heaven, rescued Grey Fox, and destroyed Metal Gear. He learned that Big Boss was the mastermind behind Outer Heaven, and had sent the rookie Snake to buy time to complete Metal Gear. He hadn't expected Snake to actually succeed.

Snake defeated Big Boss in combat and escaped Outer Heaven as it self destructed. Unbeknownst to Snake, however, Big Boss survived and escaped. Snake left FOX HOUND and went on various missions as a Mercenary and under the CIA. He eventually went into semi-retirement in Canada.

=Metal Gear 2 - MSX2=

Snake's former commander Roy Campbell eventually convinced Snake to come out of retirement to infiltrate Zanzibar Land, another  military state with nuclear capabilities. Snake successfully made it into Zanzibar Land and fought his former comrade Grey Fox, as well as Big Boss, the man behind Zanzibar Land. Big Boss was finally killed by Solid Snake, ending his dreams of a war-plagued world for the time being. Grey Fox appeared to be dead but was taken by the US government and used in exoskeleton enhancement research, which caused him to become a Ninja-like cyborg.

=Metal Gear Solid 1 - PSX=

After Snake left FOX HOUND, a new member joined it, none other than Liquid Snake. Liquid would eventually lead the unit to take over a nuclear waste disposal facility in the Shadow Moses islands, in actuality taking over a new prototype Metal Gear, Rex, that was being developed there. Snake would be sent in after being forcibly removed from his retirement in Alaska. Snake successfully infiltrated Shadow Moses and eliminated the members of Fox Hound. During this time he rescued the neice of his former commander, Roy Campbell, as well as the main designer of Rex, Hal Emmerich.

However, Snake was used by Liquid during the operation - given false information by Decoy Octopus, disguised as the DARPA Chief, he inadvertently helped Liquid activate Metal Gear Rex by overriding the system with the three security cards. Liquid could not start Rex himself because the original DARPA Chief was killed during interrogation by Revolver Ocelot, who was undercover as a member of FOX HOUND, under orders from the Patriots and killed him on purpose to stop Liquid.

Liquid then attacked Snake with Rex, but using information given to him by Otacon, as well as help from the Ninja (his former comrade Grey Fox, altered with an exoskeleton), Snake defeated Rex. He then defeated Liquid on top of Rex and again after escaping the nuclear facility.




Well, that's enough for one post. Someone summerize MGS 2 for me, please?

Right handed.

Even Snake doesn't know where or if he was born. He's cloned, that's what he knows. He'd been raised by many people, none his true parents. The truth is even hidden from him. And no, he doesn't like cheese. Though, he does is a great surporter of ham.

[spoilers] THE PHILOSIPHERS ARE DEAD!!!!!!!![spoilers]

Yeah, Raiden rocks.

[Grandy]

 Someone said Ocelot is the Boss and The Sorrow's son. That's true, there was an interview where they let it slip (it was originally something they though up to let people like us talking about without ever being sure) and secondly, Sniper Wolf is Big Boss' and Eva's daughter.
