>Version 1.65 | July 31, 2002

>honor immediately. I spent
>this version cleaning up the writing in some
>places--mainly the basics and

>Version 1.6 | April 20, 2002
>In this update, I've cleaned out as many errors as I
>could find. Also removed
>some false information. Many Frequently Asked
>Questions were added to the FAQ
>section. If you cannot find your answer in the
>walkthrough, the FAQ is bound
>to have your answer (I dearly hope so). In addition,
>some more changes were
>added to the US-to-PAL section. It's taken me almost a
>month to get this
>update out. And in case any of you have ignored the
>note at the top: do not
>send anymore contributions! My brain hurts.

>Version 1.58 | March 23, 2002
>Thank you all so kindly for flooding my inbox with
>the same stuff. Now that
>that's out of the way, everything should be in tip-top
>shape as far as the
>differences between the US and PAL versions are
>concerned. How you say? Why,
>I've created a new section, of course. It's listed as
>"US-to-PAL Changes",
>found under the Appendices chapter. I've also went
>over certain sections of
>the guide and edited stuff. Ya know, like stuff. Major
>thanks to Manwards and
>a bunch of other people for this update's additions.
>And of course, myself,
>for putting up with the swarm of complaints, and
>putting off this update 'til
>now without losing my sanity.

>Version 1.54 | March 5, 2002
>Another update of zero importance. Just wanted to
>clean up a few things
>before the European release of this game. I've
>re-written certain parts of
>the introduction to make the guide more "cheerful".
>For some reason, I
>sometimes get "hesitant" e-mails (Why is that? Do I
>scare you?). So, no more
>b****ing from me. I just have a guilty feeling in the
>pit of my stomach, yet
>no one e-mails me about it. Besides that, I've caught
>up on some neat
>contributions that were just screaming to jump in this
>FAQ. Now...je suis

>stops short. For those
>French-literate folks, excuse the infinite amount of
>errors in just that one

>Version 1.52 | February 14, 2002
>Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Just popped in with
>some other refinements--
>the Extreme Boss strategies, mainly. Also, a very
>frequently asked question
>was added to the bunch. You CANNOT save Emma!!! Ok?!
>Whew. That's all, folks!
>Huhuhuhuhu.
>
>Version 1.5 | February 8, 2002
>I got the chance to talk with Morph, the author of the
>Extreme mode FAQs, the
>other day. With his help, I've improved upon the
>Extreme mode boss
>strategies. He's granted me permission to use tips
>from his FAQ. The purpose
>of this update was to refine some parts of the guide,
>make a few corrections,
>polish the boss strategies and add a few more
>contributions. Also, I've moved
>the Item and Weapon section to Chapter 2 for
>convenience. There are still a
>few more contributions in my mailbag--those need to be
>looked into before
>they will be added to the FAQ. Well, it's about 1AM
>here, now so if there are
>any awkward sentences and stupid errors, blame um,
>that guy over there.
>
>Version 1.41 | January 22, 2002
>My e-mail address is now (more) open for questions. I
>will answer you as long
>as it's not in the guide. Just finished proofreading
>the guide and cleaned up
>the remaining errors (I did my best, anyway). All

>ever, and unless anything

>any more major updates.
>
>Version 1.3 | January 20, 2002
>The guide is now officially complete. Dog Tags,
>Secrets, Hard-Extreme Notes
>and Fun Stuff--they're all complete. The Boss Guide
>has been patented with
>Hard and Extreme strategies. I also gave the
>walkthrough a slight facelift so
>you could find each area section more easily. Some
>contributions have been
>looked over and added in (not all, but most). I
>apologize to those who have
>sent me something and I have not added it in. I can't
>afford to add every
>single one. I'll have the next version up and running
>with the remaining
>contribution backlog cleared out (over 80). A perusal
>of the guide is pending
>for grammar errors and such. Look forward to that
>shortly. I wrote a lot of
>the new stuff while I was half-asleep, so please
>excuse the many drunk
>errors. ^_^ Enjoy the new version!
>
>Version 1.1 | January 3, 2002
>Bless the 50+ people who e-mailed me for the same
>BDU correction, and then
>adding the same note about their having been in the
>military. Thank you all.
>Although I've only credited 3 people with this because
>they were the first of
>millions to e-mail me. Anyway, finished Boss Guide,
>added contributions, and
>started Dog Tags section. Any questions? No? Good.
>Keep it that way!
>
>Version 1.05 | December 16, 2001
>Well, a reader that e-mailed me today brought this my
> attention. I've just
>finished proofreading the entire guide. It was well
>worth it. I found so many
>mistakes, I could write a book entitled
>"Grammar-don'ts for Dummies". I did

>I didn't want to add
>any more hours to this session by updating the guide
>with more info. Sorry! I
>PROMISE the next update will be refreshed with new
>stuff!
>
>Version 1.03 | December 15, 2001
>What's this??!! Another update so soon?! :) As you can
>probably see, it's not
>a huge update. Just popped in and finished the Items
>section. Another update
>won't be happening for a while, so now is good.
>
>Version 1.0 | December 14, 2001
>After watching Harry Potter, I had wanted to try
>flying on my own broomstick,
>but obviously that didn't go too well. So that
>explains the huge delay on my
>updates...Ok, so that wasn't a really great excuse.
>The long wait for Version
>1.0 was well worth it. The walkthrough is now complete
>and several new
>sections have been opened and others have been
>completed. Check out the Table
>of Contents. Unfortunately, the Dog Tag section will
>have to wait. I'm going
>to go play the game over again to make new sections
>and hopefully, create a
>little plot section. Enjoy the first complete version
>of the guide!
>
>Version 0.5 | November 24, 2001
>So the expected update was a little late. At least
>I've gotten further than
>I would have. The walkthrough will be finished in the
>next version for sure.
>That's all I've been working on, so other sections
>are incomplete or haven't
>even been created yet. Walkthrough up to defusing
>the 5th or 4th bomb. Who
>cares. Also, I've added some contributions. Others
>are still sitting around
>in the inbox. Will get to those later.
>
>Version 0.3 | November 17, 2001
>"Adrenaline, you oaf!" I know, I know. Too many
>projects at once is insanity,
>but I'm here now and you can't do a thing about it!
>Haha! Anyway, I got a lot
>of stuff done, even though it may not seem like it. It
>took 5 hours of my
>life to type all this crap, so appreciate it or break
>yo'self. Anyway, as
>with all my FAQs, the first versions are always crap,
>so don't expect much.
>The walkthrough is _almost_ nonexistent. But the next
>update should be
>further than where it pathetically is now. If you see

>Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation was a revolution.
>And afterward, anything
>at a mere whisper of Metal Gear was viewed with
>limitless enthusiasm. In some
>games, you pay attention to every detail. You observe
>it almost like you
>would a movie and drink in every facet. Metal Gear
>Solid 2 falls exactly
>under that, and that's what makes it so majestic. It
>offers countless
>options. Choices are what Metal Gear Solid 2 is all
>about. Shoot various
>stuff, and they shatter with astounding physics. The
>graphics are immaculate.
>There are certain things you'd pay about as much
>attention to as you would a
>pile of old socks, but it's there; it floats and
>mingles with the air.
>
>The plethora of hype has informed you about it. You've
>went as far as to just
>purchasing Zone of the Enders to play only the demo;
>but nothing can prepare
>you for the surge of adrenaline (no pun intended) that
>MGS2 takes you on this
>feat of design and storytelling. Everything on the
>screen twitches and
>bounces with life. The concept and the cinematic plot
>is enthralling. Hideo's
>latest installment into the series transcends the
>standards of revolutionary
>gaming.
>
>The ultimate goal for this guide is to provide a
>comprehensive source for the
>heart-stopping, stealth-based action game that is
>Metal Gear Solid 2. Beware!
>Each event written in this guide is guaranteed to have
>spoilers slathered all
>over; look for information you need, bookmark the
>guide, and get out! Well, I
>am pretty sure that with each guide/FAQ you look at,
>you are definitely at
>risk of ruining your gaming experience. I tried my
>best to minimize the
>number of spoilers. It's true that the twists involved
>would be better placed
>in a story section than being thrown at you against
>your will, but sometimes
>you can't blame me--they just slip out.
>
>In short, the intent of this powerful MGS2 guide is
>to help you through the
>game with the best possible, yet conceivably easy,
>methods of play. Although
>I pray that you would read through the entire thing
>before giving up. That's
>the entire reason I wrote this. If worse comes to
>worse, you may even have to
>figure out whatever you are having trouble with by
>yourself and play the
>game!
>
>Also, let me say that I appreciate all those who
>have actually perused the
>guide before coming to me, and those who drove me on
>to continue this. The
>writing tone may seem scornful (as said by a reader),
>but I assure you that
>this was a labor of love, and I'm eternally grateful
>to all the contributors
>of the FAQ, whom I owe many of my thanks to. And of
>course, I can't forget
>the readers--they are the ones who have helped me
>arrive at where I am today.
>If it weren't for any of those fine people, the guide
> wouldn't have evolved
>into what it has become. Uh, thanks.
>
>At some points in the walkthrough, I will heavily
>assume you don't need me to
>tell you to "walk forward" or "open the door". It's
>quite instinctive. While
>I may have been a little too strict in directions,
>it's your job to explore
>and then consult my guide for help. Well, we've
>gotten that out of the way;
>I'm sure you're sick of my prelude by now, so yeah.
