Talk:Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

message: Ok you know there was a lot of david bowie references in MGS3? In Portable Ops of you get killed one of the things said is "Snake? your circuit's dead" "your circuits dead" is in the lyrics of space oddity. I wondered if that was intented because in MGS3 "Space Oddity" was used also.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.226.126 (talk) 11:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  PLEASE READ - DAVID BOWIE REFERENCE 

message: I'm editing the details of the ending. It is never said in the game or related canon that Snake does join Ocelot, and forms the Patriots. All you hear is Ocelot stating he wants Snake to join, in return for joining the "shadowman"s organization, "Shadowman" being the unknown third party.
If someone can supply canon material which states that Big Boss joined/formed the Patriots, please cite it when reverting the article.
:It was in Metal Gear Solid 4. Metal Gear Solid 4 also reveals that the "Shadowman" was Major Zero (although it was also implied to be him in-game, such as his codename "Man with the same codename as Null"). Weedle McHairybug (talk) 12:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

message: it mentions that EVA disapears in Hanoi, if this is the case, how can she be in this game set in 1970?? i seem to remember that EVA disapears 2 or so years after snake eater.

replies: text: MPO is still early in development. From my understanding, EVA, Ocelot and Raikov are only recruitable online and are not key characters to the plot like Snake, Zero and Para-Medic. Jonny2x4 12:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Nope. The "real EVA" was just a red herring and ultimately, a non-character who was unimportant to the plot. Kojima writes his plot so that the characters are referred by their common name (i.e: Snake instead of Solid or Naked). Obviously, meant the EVA whom Snake encounters in the game. Jonny2x4 22:20, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the timeline states that she dissapeared, not that she died. Maybe Kojima was not sure about what to do with EVA, so he left that as an open door for any oportunity. That EVA might or might not have a role in this game story is uncertain. Persnally, I believe that's prettry hard, but I would love to see that, for some reason, Snake, EVA and Ocelot are forced to work together. Besides, it seems that Ocelot DOES have a role in the story, since in one of the trailers, I believe that the one that says "It's all part of our plan to make the world she envisioned a reality" is actually Ocelot, so... we could say that Ocelot is acting in fron and behind the curtains, like always.

thread_title:  EVA Canon 

message: The article says that Shinta Nojiri's producing/directing this (and I actually put that on his article after reading it here), but on the official Kojima Productions site, Masahiro Yamamoto's profile says that he's directing, and nothing about MPO is mentioned in Nojiri's profile.
There are articles on GameSpot and so forth that mention Nojiri producing/directing a new game, but I don't know what game they were referring to. There might have been some mix-up with the Digital Graphic Novel (I know an article on another site specifically said the new game he was working on was "B.D", as in "Bande Dessinée", or the Digital Graphic Novel).
I really don't want to edit the article until I'm absolutely sure what's right. Does anyone have a concrete source that says Nojiri's the producer/director? And did Nojiri even work on the Digital Graphic Novel? I don't have it, or a PSP. - DoubleCross 05:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Whoever keeps changing it to say that Null is Grey Fox, quit spamming this article. Grey Fox and Null are never declared one and the same. Grey Fox' birth date takes place, according to MGS, "sometime in the 70's." More recently his birthdate was reconned so that Frank Jaeger was born in 1968. This would demand that Null be 3 by the time of this game.--NWalterstorf 23:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Hm, correction: I was wrong. I found this out not too long ago. Yes, Hideo Kojima keeps changing Grey Fox's history around. Apparently this is the third time he's done so.--NWalterstorf 01:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  PS2 version? 

message: Isn't it obvious that it's Major Zero? Just think about it. Shouldn't it in some way be written in the article? 
MPO takes place 6 years after MGS3 so how could Null be Zero, because Zero is old in MGS3 and Null is young in MPO, so no I doubt Null is Zero
'Same codename', not 'same person'. Geez, it's obvious that Zero and Null aren't the same, nevertheless, Null and Zero are basically the same codename. And Gene was talking about someone with the same codename as Null. 84.134.192.149 14:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is the line "An expansion to Portable Ops, named "Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops +" has been affirmed and is in development. It is currently a Japanese only release." deleted? It is relevant and appropriate to the article.

thread_title:  Expansion 

message: I am redirecting Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus. MPO+ is more of a revision of MPO and doesn't really merit a new article. This also keeps in line with other rereleases of Metal Gear games (Integral, Substance, Subsistence) Strongsauce 02:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirect of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus to here 

message: Hello, Strongsauce. Can you tell me when Ashley Wood worked on MGS4...? 
Last time I checked, his work concerning the Metal Gear series only includes the comic books, the Digital Graphic Novels and Portable Ops. Therefore, the link is relevant and is refering to the fact that his work in the series is over at the moment. Thus, the article is refering to two titles: The original DGN and the coming installment. Bigger Boss 29 September 2007 (UTC)
:Hello, Bigger Boss. 
: I never said that Ashley Wood worked on MGS4 but that doesn't prevent him from talking about Metal Gear Solid series on his blog does it? The blog post you ref'd mentions Snake in passing and is most likely referring to the end of the Metal Gear Solid Series.
:"Also Metal Gear Solid is coming to an end, not that Snake would ever get the flu, you sneeze near the guy and he’d break your neck (or inspect your dewberries)." is the direct quote and hardly seems to be a good reference to him being done with the comic book because he would most likely say, "My work on the comic is finally done!" Although I'd agree that it most likely is finished.
: I'm not going to bother getting into a revert war over this but your assumptions and inferring is not what Wikipedia is about. You seem to infer a lot from these articles and infer a lot about what I said but Wikipedia is about fact checking and nothing in that blog post has any substantial content. 
: I'd like to hear what other editors think, maybe I am totally wrong about it. But that blog post really confirms only one fact: That the Metal Gear Solid series is ending.
: But thanks for being so condescending about this. Strongsauce 11:18, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

People who choose not to play MGS portable ops will read this "story" section and will be greeted by this spoiler. If it has to remain in this section it must be tagged with spoiler warnings.
