Returning to MGS4 in 2025: A Retrospective

[BigBrother]

you can influence the battle between the PMC and the militia, or just use it as cover basically. But... quite honestly I found it pretty boring this time around. I tried pissing both sides off and it never really felt like it worked like it should have, and of course you can't side with the PMC soldiers, so it's really help out the militia or just let them falter.

Really enjoying these; I was on the forums for MGS4 (joined in 07) and it was a really cool time as far as I recall; everyone was psyched to see how MGS2 would be followed up. Those of us in that camp were....um....yeah. Aha.

Quick thought on this. So. I'm 99% sure that in the initial build you could side with the PMCs to carry favour with them. It was cut when initial players kept siding with the PMC's because they wanted to kill brown people (because the War On Terror was GOOD  ). I can't find a source for that but I could've sworn I read it at the time, maybe someone else remembers similarly and can confirm?
