Ok /k/ what items would I have to assemble to be truly outfitted like a Diamond Dog operator
>>28298110
A suppressed carbine, a .45 cal handgun, and 9 years of emotional baggage.
>>28298110
Well for simple starters you'd need either a set of olive bdu's, or advisor pattern tiger stripe and a black balclava. I think the m16a1 and a gi model of a 1911A1 were both standard weapons until Phantom Pain got all fucky with the designs. As for the rest of the gear, I'll let someone more knowledgeable take over.
>>28298110
diazepam
a lot of it
>>28298136
And the mental malleability to swap alliegences more than you swap underwear
Olive BDUs
The balaclavas they use are specially made
Standard operating weapons would be an M16-A1 or variant and a silenced 1911. A G3 is also an acceptable service rifle.
Standard set of binoculars
M67 fragmentation grenades, flashbangs, smokes and potentially flares.
Claymore mines and C4 charges.
You'd need to be trained in the use of a personal ballistics shield, as well as CQC training.
You'd need canine unit training, as well as horseback and defensive driving.
And of course there's fulton recovery gear and training.
Overall every DD operator is incredibly expensive, which is probably why the vast majorities of troops don't serve active duty roles.
does anything like the diamond dogs balaclava exist in the real world?
>>28298251
Don't forget the new harness' (Stanbo?) and the near unobtainium chicken plates they all wear.
>>28298387
they wouldn't be strapped the way DD balaclavas are, but flame retardant balaclavas DO exist. Honestly I'm surprised they don't wear ballistic masks

Would a police officer on a SWAT team receive this sort of training?

>>28298748
the ballistics shield training and potentially canine unit and defensive driving, yes, though I doubt CQC or horseback training
keep in mind that in MGS universe, CQC basically doesn't exist outside of military operations that Boss or Big Boss worked in
>>28298765
>which is why most troops don't serve active duty roles
Are you retarded or something? Do you think every comms officer and truck driver in the Army has muhreen training?

I gotta play more MGSV, as much as people like to hate on the game it's pretty fucking Oper8or

that's certainly possible, they're definitely frankenguns with elements of a lot of different rifles - AK74s, FN FNCs, FN FALs, M16-A1s, G3s, etc.

>>28299045
i liked it as a whole but hated it as a "MGS" game. It just didn't feel very stealthy nor did it answer any questions story wise or show any effort to flesh out famous characters that it really could have. You find babby liquid snake but do jack shit with him or to him. No grey fox but you do get to play fight babby mantis by shooting him once or twice. It also left more confusing shit than any other title history wise. Hell you don't even play the real snake. But maybe i just didn't pay attention to what was happening.
third person shooter wise the game was pretty fun and made you a beast monster super soldier that isn't just a glorified bullet sponge.
>>28299105
It's not an official statement from Kojima or Konami, they made the frankenguns to avoid any potential licensing fees from manufacturers.
>>28299133
It was more of a Peace Walker successor though.
I wish there was more strategy though, and you could have your troops fight alongside you on missions so you can send hordes of tanks and rpg armed men to swarm Metal Gear for instance.
>>28298742
In /k/'s opinion, in a straight operational incursion between Diamond Dogs and XOF, who wins?
No Snek or Mantis/Man On Fire or any other super special plot armor soldiers.
Both combat teams have the logistical support of their backing paramilitary group, but otherwise are on their own.
>>28299346
>and you could have your troops fight alongside you on missions so you can send hordes of tanks and rpg armed men to swarm Metal Gear for instance.
god i was hoping this was how the game was going to be later on. You collected all these soldiers and used them for fuck all beyond increasing mother base stats and online play.
at least your helicopter helps you fight metal gundam jehuty but there was soooo much potential for awesomeness lost. Oh and there are rumors of MGSV:part two
fuck kojima
All you need is a balaclava and a whole lot of commitment
>>28298251
What the fuck IS defensive driving anyway? I've heard the term a lot, but never quite got it. Is there offensive driving?
![8c636393989544894c934b42c1c8969f[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/7UAvQqF.jpg "8c636393989544894c934b42c1c8969f[2].jpg")
cybernetics and nanomachines, son
>>28299458
kojima doesn't even work at Konami anymore
He overblew the budget getting queefer sutherland and paying for music licenses so Konami gave him the shaft on the game, it was released in an unfinished state and Konami went full fucking Japanese Businessman Syndrome and shut down all of their developers to focus on Pachinko machines.
MGSV part two isn't going to happen, Konami filed for the rights to Big Boss but not the rest of the IP, at most they'll throw some MGS pictures on the next batch of Pachinko machines they release.
>>28299512
offensive driving is what some police are trained in to stop cars in a chase. Defensive driving is basically imagining everyone on the road is fucking drunk and trying to kill you then acting accordingly in your vehicle
>>28299552
Offensive driving sounds funner. Where can I learn that as a civvie?
>>28299512
Defensive driving is essentially staying out of dangerous situations and being aware enough to avoid collisions from other drivers.
You always play it safe: drive a little slower, let more aggressive driver's pass, etc. Self preservation is key.
If you want to learn defensive driving, take a course at your local racetrack or become a city bus driver.
Offensive driving is pretty much being aggressive as all shit. Racecar drivers vying for first place are good examples.
>>28299545
then fuck konami on the basis that Megaman Legends 3 will never see the light of day as well as that.
also i think sutherlands voice fit big boss very well
>>28299557
there are lots of schools that teach offensive driving. The best place to learn would be go kart racing though. You pick up basics for racing and the like
>>28299567
>Mega Man Legends 3

Sutherland wasn't a terrible performance, but he was terribly typecast despite not being a VA, costing too much (yes I know Hayter wanted even more, but they could have undercut him with another perfectly talented VA) and had absolutely no voice direction. It's like the gooks at Kojipro don't realize there's a difference between Acting and Voice Acting.
And on top of all that he either had a ton of lines cut or just didn't have many lines period, which made Venom Snake feel retarded and made the shocking tweest way less meaningful because you never grow attached to Venom

Also be able to speak several languages. Any languages except Kikongo.
Don't even bother if you speak Kikongo.
So are there any mods that let me assfuck or facefuck a cum covered Quiet or is it just webms so far?
>>28299003
Underappreciated post.
>>28299626
I actually like it because of the "silent hero" style of gameplay. It gives you the chance to play it like you want to, and make it what you want.
Most of the time I play as my own character or a DD operative anyway.
>>28300560
mfw i was too stupid to figure out how to prevent the majority of my kikongo dogs from dying
also i wonder what happens if you drop all kikongo speakers before it starts
>>28300558
So, how did it fail? I looked up a bit about the game. Did /k/ users make it?
>>28300633
not sure if it was /k/ users per se. but i remember reading about the birth of it's development here many moons ago. honestly though i've seen so many "projects" just die in the development stage here i've just stopped falling in love with any of them
>>28300591
But that's not what MGSV is about, no MGS character has ever been a silent protagonist and MGSV especially was trying to make you feel something for this character that acts legitimately autistic in some scenes.
Plus, if you're going to make a silent protagonist, don't fucking hire an A-list TV celebrity to voice him.
>>28300593
members of Diamond Dogs begin learning Kikongo on their own up until you either advance the story enough, or start quarantining a large enough number of non-symptomatic individuals. Ocelot will actually comment on you figuring out what causes the infection if you start quarantining the right people.
>>28300558
Installing it now, I'm gonna see what it's like,

>Skullfaces Tour of Afghanistan
oh man
big medic just sitting there going through idle animations while skully lectures you on THE LANGUAGE OF NUUUUKES
>>28300633
Nobody actually made it.
The idea was to have an asynchronous online mobile game where you wander around innawoods and meet up with other players and accumulate gear and junk like that, really simple sandboxy survival thing. One dude made a lot of test art assets but nobody actually got around to developing the game so instead someone made that really simple dress up game from the unused inventory sprites.
It's so unfinished that a lot of the test sprites don't even have proper weight values, and some just outright don't work or layer properly.
>>28300704
it was even worse if you played GZ and realized they fucking re-used some of Skull Face's lines in that scene
also the WORDS THAT KILL singalong isn't really scripted to anything, you can play your own radio music over it
>>28300685
if your talking about the minecraft fps abortion then its the wrong "inna woods". The inna woods in that picture and what i'm referencing was to be a overhead RTS type game that never made it to alpha
Post favorite frankengun.
>>28300732
yeah it was seriously garbage and I hate that you can't skip it because its ignore instead of being a cutscene.
also it ruined WORDS THAT KILL for me. all the other MGS themes like Koi no Yoroshiku or Snake Eater were so memorable because they were played while something awesome was happening. all those trailers made it seem like a 10/10 theme and then kojima goes and ruins it on a boring ass jeep ride. it wasn't even reused in the fight with sallyanthropus
>>28300767
*ingame
>>28300767
>>28300677
You're right, but I guess I've only played MGS and MGS3, so I'm not the authority on this.
The game does feel incomplete, and the character development feels a bit forced, but I think that's kind of the point as well. This isn't Big Boss, and yet you're told you are, and now you gotta deal. It's supposed to be tragic, but at the same time not because you just got jewed into your life being over because someone wanted to run off to play Outer Heaven.
I actually like Big Boss less over the whole MGSV story, specifically because it felt like a cop out from the perspective of another soldier. He just used Venom for his own purposes.
>>28300738
I installed the one on the App Store. So now it's just dress up?
>>28300767
the real theme is Nuclear anyways
fuck the trailers had a better plot than the game, MGSV is great for fucking around and operatin' but the story is just trash
>>28300786
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT UNDERBARREL ANOMINATION
>>28300802
I agree. It lets me live out my operating dreams.
>>28300795
yes. However the blog for the game is still up so hell maybe one day broton will actually do something with it or someone better will just go the steam greenlight way.
>>28300792
>I've only played MGS and MGS3
play MGS2 and you'll realize why MGSV's twist is so fucking garbage, MGS2 has a much worse twist but at least it earns the reaction.
MGSV makes you care nothing about Venom, and maybe it makes you think Big Boss is a dick but you don't really see anything he's doing so who cares?
MGS2 makes you angry by forcing you to be Raiden, but as time goes on you come to respect Raiden a lot more because he has actual character development, as does Solidus, so when the big Shyamalan moment comes up it makes you actually give a damn on multiple levels.
Plus, you get to actually SEE Snake doing things in MGS2, so his replacement has some actual standard to live up to.
Outside of the hospital scene in V, which was fucking excellent, BB never does shit.
>>28300802
And its not like it was destined to be trash either. There were a couple bits of story that were genuinely done well like the infection on MB, Paz hallucination, and Emmerich being a shitbag, but the whole story with Venom and the real BB is just so empty and incomplete its painful.
I actually teared up on mission 49.

once i got enough parts to make a long range UN ARC and suppressed bolt gun nothing could even get close enough to kill me save for tanks that were actively firing at me.
i beat the game and developed maybe 2 weapons and never used a single explosive

Was anyone else upset at how little love the jungle area in southeastern Africa got? They loved to stack missions there but too many were centered on the Mansion. The jungle itself was super comfy and brought a really good Eighties action hero vibe, especially the sniper battles with the Skulls and just skulking around with NVGs on grabbing ZRS troops out from behind the trees.

"We live and die by your orders Boss"
i waited the entire game for the funny missions or side ops that i'd come to expect from the series.
no time paradoxes no awkward conversations no ridiculous run ins with your "observers". This game isn't even metal gear anymore with this much inconsistency with the series. Fuck it i'm just gonna call it Spec Ops DLC with Metal Gear mod
>>28301009

>>28300929
>never used a single explosive
Fucking why? If I didn't use C4 at least once a mission, I was fucking up. AA defenses, comms relays, power generators or just using them on barrels. Those things were great distractions and they were like 90% of my stealth strategy that didn't involve unsuppressed sniper rifles or landmines.

WEEPING FOR THE MEMORY OF A LIFE GONE BY
>>28299375
Given what happened to MSF, I'm kinda tempted to give the win to XOF. Then again, you know what they say about fiddles.
I think they're honestly pretty matched, from what I've seen. They've got roughly-equivalent strength in terms of hardware; helicopters, APCs, tanks, missiles, artillery, etc. Mano-a-mano, I think XOF are generally better equipped and trained, but again, that comes down to the soldier. XOF does have the advantage of not being a hated mercenary group. Engenders more money and backup from local governments and world powers, I think.
Conclusion: XOF, if slightly.
>>28300992
"Shining lights, even in death..."
Great title for that mission.
>>28302964
XOF doesn't get any support from outside groups, they're completely blacklisted. They had no external contacts during their days with Major Zero and when Skull Face stole the reigns they were effectively put on burn lists even if the average grunt doesn't realize it.
Diamond Dogs on the other hand not only has a good couple nations that owe them favors, but also has their own independent support facilities and a fledgling HUMINT network, a notable resource that XOF lost post-Camp Omega.
The upshot is that XOF operates more operationally on account of having a leader that wasn't in a coma for nine years. DD does have CQC though
