I don't think that it was Liquid. I believe that it was Solidus in a last ditch effort to strike the Patriots. In fact, there is nothing that suppports your claim, except for that unaired MGS2 Documents (which probably have been retconned). - Marcaurelix

They were only unaired because of 9/11, in which they explicitly state it will crash into New York. The databse contradicts itself so cannot be relied on. --Bluerock 21:12, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
And the canonicity of the MGS2 documents is doubtful at best. In fact, it's probably less reliable then the crappy database. - Marcaurelix
I disagree, how can you consider the script less reliable than the database? There are some deleted scenes/dialogue in there, but that doesn't mean they were retconned. --Bluerock 21:39, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
I conceded your point in the Arsenal Talk page. - Marcaurelix
Ok, was just wondering if you actually thought it was worse. I perhaps should have made it clearer that it wasn't simply a random document, but that it was the actual game script. I updated the articles anyway to reflect this. --Bluerock 21:50, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
Well, the Documents also mention that Vamp was supposed to be a woman, and Chinaman and Oldboy were supposed to appear. - Marcaurelix
Ah, thats why you're confused. That was actually the "MGS2 Grand Game Plan", a very early, rough design for the game, not the script (which, apart from the omitted dialogue/scenes, is the final version). The two are seperate things. --Bluerock 21:55, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough. I acknowledge my mistake. - Marcaurelix

Hammet[]

What's a "hammet"? Is it a fictional unit of measurement, or does it actually exist?

If I recall correctly, the MGS2 script mentioned that it was a fictional unit designed to make GW's processing capability sound impressive, due to the sheer number given. --Bluerock 13:03, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
Apparently, it was a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtin%E2%80%93Hammett_principle At least, that's what this site seemed to indicate: https://steamcommunity.com/app/287700/discussions/0/154644045364263325/ Weedle McHairybug (talk) 16:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Designer[]

Sons of Liberty says that Emma Emmerich created GW, yet information in The Phantom Pain states that Zero commissioned Strangelove to create the AIs. Can someone explain this inconsistency?--Strawhatmsd (talk) 22:57, October 13, 2015 (UTC)    

  Strangelove left the project early. -- 11:07, April 16, 2018 (UTC)
