=====Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (MPO)===== {{ :covers:portableops_psp.jpg?nolink&200 |}} ==="What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to yourself?"=== Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops released in 2006 exclusively to PlayStation Portable. MPO shrinks the gameplay of [[:metal_gear_solid_3|MGS3]] to the small screen, bringing with it a radically different equipment system, team management and many more features that were further built upon in [[:metal_gear_solid:peace_walker|Peace Walker]]. Similar to Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, MPO splits the game into smaller chunks, with a variety of maps to visit and missions to tackle. Taking place after MGS3, Big Boss must stop a rogue FOX unit - led by a man known as Gene - from causing nuclear Armageddon.\\ Typical criticisms include the low framerate, unusual control scheme and the tedium of kidnapping people slowly dragging recruits to your truck (or box) in order to recruit them. ---- ^Category^Difficulty^Description^Resource^ |New Game Any%|Easy/Normal|Start a new save file and complete the game as fast as possible|[[mpo_ng_any|Routes & Guide]]| |New Game Tsuchinoko|Easy/Normal|Start a new save file and complete the game as fast as possible - without getting spotted|[[mpo_ng_tsuchinoko|Routes & Guide]]| |New Game + Any%|Easy/Normal/Extreme|Complete the game as fast as possible with any previously collected equipment & personnel at your disposal|[[mpo_ngp_any|Routes & Guide]]| |New Game + Tsuchinoko|Easy/Normal/Extreme|Complete the game as fast as possible with any previously collected equipment & personnel at your disposal - without getting spotted|[[mpo_ngp_tsuchinoko|Routes & Guide]]| |New Game + Foxhound|Extreme|Complete the game as fast as possible with any previously collected equipment & personnel at your disposal - while obtaining the highest Rank|[[mpo_ngp_foxhound|Soon™]]| ====Information==== [[MPO_Version_and_Region_Differences|MPO Version Differences]] [[MPO_Maps|MPO Map Overviews]] [[MPO_FAQ|MPO FAQ]] [[MPO_Info_Dump|MPO Info Dump]] [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfJ5hi4JjGcSBMYHXe-hPCnkSEBL-Vsxl|"MPO & MPO+ strats & shenanigans" Playlist with 350+ clips by MarlonH8]] [[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/932978-metal-gear-solid-portable-ops/faqs/46510|Knowledge Base for casual play by katastrophie]] [[https://tcrf.net/Metal_Gear_Solid:_Portable_Ops|MPO's entry in The Cutting Room Floor]] ---- ===Archived Tutorials=== [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tgfMgGIg3QvNPLkpyrAzV3qH9t0oI5Q7xR6Ud0CFWhQ|MPO SpeedNotes by MarlonH8 and MiniOmegaKing]] [[New Game Tutorial by Pythonicus|New Game Tutorial]] [[New Game Plus Tutorial]] ----- [[:metal_gear_series|Return to Metal Gear Games]]
