 Particularly useful for multi-segment runs, any room can be load tricked by just entering the room or rooms, loading any applicable cutscenes, then exiting the game as before and loading the beginning of the runner's segment. Particularly useful for multi-segment runs, any room can be load tricked by just entering the room or rooms, loading any applicable cutscenes, then exiting the game as before and loading the beginning of the runner's segment.
  
-Once loading trick is set up, the player can start a new run as normal, either from a new game or from a save file. If the runner decides to reset the run, simply exit the game as before and start another run as normal. Loading trick saves approximately 45 seconds in MGS2 HD.+Once loading trick is set up, the player can start a new run as normal, either from a new game or from a save file. If the runner decides to reset the run, simply exit the game as before and start another run as normal. Loading trick saves approximately 1 minute in MGS2 HD on optimal hardware. Generally, the worse a runner's hardware, the more time loading trick saves.
  
 Traditionally, most MGS2 runners chose not to use loading trick in their runs for two primary reasons: the extensive setup time of approximately 50 minutes or more to set up a full loading trick, and the fact that many runners see loading trick as an arbitrary time save, since it only affects how quickly a runner's console loads, rather than being influenced by runner skill. The loading speed and hardware parity of the Xbox Series X|S has mostly eliminated the issues present in running MGS2 on the PlayStation 3, however the Xbox Series X|S has its own issues, as does the port of the game on that system. There is no known difference in loading speed or performance between the Xbox Series S and Series X for MGS2 HD. Traditionally, most MGS2 runners chose not to use loading trick in their runs for two primary reasons: the extensive setup time of approximately 50 minutes or more to set up a full loading trick, and the fact that many runners see loading trick as an arbitrary time save, since it only affects how quickly a runner's console loads, rather than being influenced by runner skill.
