  If Portable Ops really is that small, there’s no reason it couldn’t be a “Chapter 1” to Peace Walker’s “Chapter 2” and put them in the same game.

  MGSV: TPP also confirms in a cassete tape that Portable Ops is canon.<br>Ocelot talks about his big scene in Portable Ops with Big Boss.

  You&apos;re the first person on youtube to not only remember portable ops but also to treat it with such appreciation.

  As for what happened to Gene money.... Lets remember that MSF was not completely without equipment at the start. They had weapons and helicopters. Also they still had money. Just because Zadornov gave them better hideout doesnt mean they were without equipment and resources

  I never forget. Literally install and setup the PSP emulator purely and solely for Portable Ops.

  What&apos;s going on with Portable Ops? In the last 12 months there&apos;s been major retrospectives from Christian Cryers, thevoicebox, Chole, Gaming Pastime, Keiv Reviews Things, and now Max Derrat!!!<br><br>It&apos;s awesome to see the game getting such coverage; such an unfairly forgotten gem. Yeah, the controls on the PSP made it borderline unplayable, but playing it on an emulator now, it plays pretty much identical to MGS3: Subsistence, and it looks damn good too.

  Fireman’s carry from TPP, would be an easy fix for dragging. You’d still have to carry them to a truck but it would be faster and you could still use one handed weapons.

  I would say the Acid games are even less well remembered than Portable Ops. I don&apos;t need remakes of them, but I would like to see Konami port them to Steam. Also, regarding the PO plot, the &quot;Ghost&quot; twist was originally quite silly, but in the context of MGSV, where XOF was cleaning up after Snake during MGS3, it&apos;s more plausible that Skull Face captured him before the destruction of Grozny Grad.

  I have a slightly more elegant solution for the soldier extraction thing. The distance doesn&apos;t seem to be an issue. The problem is the speed in which Snake brings the bodies. So instead of dragging them off slowly like an idiot, just make Snake carry them on his shoulders like he does in MGSV, with no hit to his speed. Bam. Problem solved.

  I assumed Big Boss used the money to help fund the Patriots.<br><br>My idea for an MPO remake was always to have a large open map that expands each existing map into a large sections of the peninsula. You&apos;d eventually move to capturing bases to accommodate more troops, with a risk of enemy inspections afterwards exposing them and forcing you to head over and help defend the base from the enemy assault. And support troops actually appear on the map. Maybe you&apos;re about to infiltrate the hospital, so you head to a nearby ridge where your support unit is stationed to retrieve some supplies. And once you&apos;re down there, if they have a sniper among them, they can provide cover like Quiet in MGSV.
