Me too, I've seen a lot of people missing the Codec. I loved them, especially MGS3s lot. I remember calling Para-medic everytime I caught an animal and her constantly mocking Snakes eating habits.

Cutting that out of MGSV baffles me, I mean why? it would've taken zero of the "edge" out of story, it wouldn't have made it any less of what it ended up being. All it ended up achieving (imo) was making it feel like less of MGS game.

But then again Snake only had like 2 major supporting character in V, Kaz and Ocelot. You could argue Code Talker, but he came pretty late in the story. So it makes sense from a story perspective to not have it I suppose.

But I definitely missed it, the Codec was a portal of whimsy in MGS and MGSV could've bloody used some of that imo.
