Shattered Screen

If you are in first person view and you get shot your screen will be cracked.

Don't Forget Your Dog Tags!

For those players that are collecting dog tags, this is a reminder that Wolf, Mantis, Vulcan, and Liquid, all have dog tags. To get the tags from Mantis and Wolf, shake their dead bodies for awhile. Vulcan's dog tag simply appears where he is defeated. Liquid's tag is a little tricky to get, while fighting him in the end battle, try to knock him off the top of thescreen. He will then grab the edge and his dog tag will appear for only a few seconds, IF THE TAG IS NOT GRABBED IT WILL DISAPPEAR FOR THE REST OF THE BATTLE, you only get one shot at grabing the tag.

How To Beat Metal Gear REX

First off, throw a chaff granade before REX has any chance to do anything. After the radar is jammed, aim for the cirrcular disk thing on REX's right shoulder and hit it with your Stinger. This will continue until an intervention from the ninja. In the second phase of the battle, chaff's will be useless, all you be to do is aim at Liquid in the cockpit and fire away. A very easy Boss.

How To Beat Sniper Wolf

You can decide to make this battle very easy, or moderatly difficult... For those who like the "classic showdown", just snipe her with your PSG-1 like you normally would until the battle is through. Now for the people that would like to take it easy and not put themselves in any danger. When the battle begins, run to the truck on the left side of the snowfield and hop on in. After that, the battle is a simple as stearing a NIKITA rocket right into Wolf's face (Note, the cinema scene at the end of the fight differs depending on where on the field you defeat Wolf.)

How To Beat Psycho Mantis

At first Mantis will try to use Meryl to hurt you, but don't shoot her. Instead just whack her in the head with your fists. After Meryl is incapacitated, Mantis will teleport around the room and harm you with various projectiles, but if you try to shoot him he will say, "I can read your mind!", and dodge the shot. Quickly pause your game and change which port your controller is plugged into, then resume the fight and Mantis will no longer be able to "read" your shots. He will agian try to use Meryl against you, but just repeat the same steps as earlier. (Note that Mantis might begin to dodge your shots after about a minuete and a half after you switch ports, so just pause and switch again.)

Shootin The Bird...

After you enter the bottom level of the Blast Furnace, you should come to 2 donward elevators. On the second a bunch of birds will be flying around. Shoot 2 of them and you will get a call about how Snake is cruel to animals. While this dosen't really help you in anyway, it's funny.
