That really makes any metal gear out to be a piece of crap, main character or not, they really need to give some props to the machine from which the game derives it's name from.

I didn't bother to read through every chunk of your
careful analysis and breakdown of MGS2 and the series prequel, MGS3. That said, I've probably missed out on some more inconsistencies in your review. This, however, caught my eye and I couldn't help but to be a little fag about it (oh
shaaaame on me).
The Ray units Raiden destroyed were all mass-produced copies of the prototype Ocelot stole two years before. They were meant to be used as "soldiers" to protect Arsenal Gear and lacked the optimum firepower a full-sized Ray had. In addition, they were designed to take down other Metal Gears. Rex was never a particularly powerful machine on it's own (well, in mecha terms), but it's biggest strength came in it's nuclear payload.
I'm done being a nerd for now.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
