Endings that blew you away. [Spoilers a go go]

The whole epilogue unraveled things that made my stomach hurt ;\ I felt bad about killing Big Boss and such. Even the fight against the uber tank-like machinery was rather cinematic. I thought Eva was going to die after the car wreck but thankfully she didn't.

The whole fight against Boss in that field, Ocelot's ride on the chopper, etc were fantastic. Then the whole explanation in America planted the little seed that'd lead to Big Boss growing angry with the government, and going off to make a Mercenary Heaven of sorts that opens up the Metal Gear series.

My final run of the game I planned to stop shortly after breaking out of the facility after Snake lost his eye but I kept on going and going and going until the very end. It just glued me to the controller.

I just beat MGS3:sub a few minutes ago. It ended somewhat expected but some of the characters that you mentioned caught me off guard somewhat. I thought the ending was pretty dark and foreboding, but probably my favorite of the three. I HONESTLY did not understand MGS2's ending at all, please help me ;_; I just wanted to fight Solidus and after that everything is pretty much a blank. It's been like 2 years since I last played the game, so my memory is pretty fuzzy.

Also, endings aside, seeing Volgin kicking and punching the crap out of our good friend Snake made me feel quite...uneasy. IT'S REAL! REALLY DANGEROUS!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They call themselves "The Patriots". In the course of MGS 2 you find out that Raidan, Solidus, and even Snake are being used by the Patriots as tools for their own ends. Solidus is trying to use Metal Gear Ray to break the Patriots hold over America, and by extension the world. Raidan is a tool being used to test a new breed of super soldier. His girlfriend Rose was a plant. As for Snake I don't think his role envisioned by the Patriots has been completely revealed. Maybe MGS 4? At the very end of the game Octagon tells Snake that all the people listed on data aquired towards the end of the game; the supposed list of "Patriots" have long since been dead for many years. That's basically all I can remember. >.<

Spoiler:

Yes that is pretty much stated at the end of the game when The Boss talks to Snake about the Philosophers legacy, however they had not come up with the name of Metal Gear yet, but the schematics for Rex were shown. It ties up nicely to MGS1 then 2, because some parts remind me what happened in the other two games.

Actually playing this game helps A LOT with understanding MGS2 in my mind. MGS1 is a nice bridge between the two.

It's funny when you read it the "wrong" way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
