these seems like the perfect place to whine about the game and thats exactly what I'm gonna do... hahahhahahah just kidding :D

I agree with you on most of your points, I say they should never have included those stupid "Extreme" versions of chapter 1 missions in chapter 2, I hate those its literally just the same mission but forcing you not to use reflex mode, which is something I could turn of myself during the "normal" mission, I kinda like the "substinence" version where you are forced to gather equipment on site, but I think those should have been added as new missions like say for example you get to infiltrate that island seen in "mission 51" but you couldn't take any equipment because your chpper was shot down or whatever reason, and force you to explore a hostile island filled with booby-traps while being mainly unarmed and having to get the gear yourself

I once suggested that the game should have 4 chapters the firs two being called "Revenge" and "Race" which is what we got, just remove the damn "Extreme" missions, and then Chapters 3 and 4 would be called "Truth" and "Peace" in this chapters we will now get to play Big Boss himself as he builds Outer Heaven I see you more or less suggest that here so I agree with you :D

I more or less disagree with your idea of adding so many cities, mainly because why would Sanke need to go to Tokyo or Miami? and more importantly adding such a large populated urban area will have turned this into grand theft auto, with Big Boss running around a super large city and shooting stuff, HOWEVER I beleive that smaller towns could be a very good setting.

For example in Mexico during the 80s there was something called "The dirty war" which was caused by the strong infulence of the US over the country, and there where some people trying to create a "socialist party" within mexico, and this forced the army to "hunt down" this individuals, the mexican government spent years trying to hide this from the general public.

I think this could have been a perfect setting as the whole "whipe out everyone and then cover it up" fits Cihper perfectly, so we could get something like the first act of MGS4 where you have to infiltrate a town and you see the army fighting several militias, here we would have to avoud the mexican army, the EZLN and the EPR, I would have liked the warzone mechanic to reutrn, and since this is Mexico, maybe we could get to meet a young decoy octopuss in here. The war itself is caracterized by mysterios disappearances of individuals on both sides (these could be the soldiers you fulton :P )

And like you said small populated villages in Africa and Afghanistan would have been nice, and more civilian NPCs other than prisoners, kinda like those Scientists in the N64 Goldeneye.

I was missing the classical "Elite Squad of super powered individulas" like the Cobra Unit or the Beatuy and the Beast Corps, because sure the Skulls are awesome but they don't have any personality they are just like the Frog Unit or the Arsenal Tengus, we needed more Super powered Bosses, I used to think Quiet was part of this "Super Squad" but she is the only one, maybe her story could have been expanded, she is supposed to be a defector from the XOF yet at no point does the enemy acknowledge this... her story is just typical Kojima fan service what happened to the whole "you will be ashamed of your words and deeds"?

I also would have liked more to do with Mother Base, there is not a lot to do in there, even though I sometimes run around playing pranks on my soldiers there is not much to do, I would have liked the main characters appear from time to time in there, it would be nice to see Miller walking around the base, and Ocelot. also they said "No two mother bases will look the same" yet literally every mother base is the same, the only thing that maybe makes mine different from yours is that it is painted pink, also the emblems are nice but a little more customization like the emblems from the call of duty or battlefield series would have been nice, maybe getting a side op about having to track down a "legendary designer" in order to be able to do this hahahahaha
