I really feel like I'm playing this game incorrectly. The characters constantly emphasize that this is a stealth mission but I'm not doing a whole lot of stealth. Everytime I play the game as intended (being stealthy) I always end up getting caught. However, I usually end up fixing the situation by pulling out my machine gun or shotgun and then shooting everyone in the room rather easily. This makes the game feel more like a mindless shooter rather than the intelligent stealth game I expected. As a result, it's not very fun. The game feels a lot easier to play as a shooter rather than a stealth game and I'm not penalized for just shooting everyone. So how am I supposed to fix these issues and make the game fun to play?
being allowed to use the gun doesn't mean it's not stealth. your rank will be lowered by killcount and number of spots, among other things. forced stealth (hide or die) is stupid.
[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]being allowed to use the gun doesn't mean it's not stealth. your rank will be lowered by killcount and number of spots, among other things. forced stealth (hide or die) is stupid. But it's a balancing issue when the game becomes harder when you play it the way it was meant to be played. I'm playing on Normal right now (the difficulty first highlighted when you start a new game).

I'm playing on Normal right now (the difficulty first highlighted when you start a new game). it's harder, and that's why it's more satisfying. thief is a stealth series, no one denies that, but if you want to, you can just fight the guards face to face. it's called "having options".
That's the point of mgs 3. You can play it any way you want. Try to challenge yourself and try not to get caught, this may make your experience more enjoyable. If they made mgs where if you get caught once it's game over there would be so many people raging on the forums lol ( especially on hard mode)

What rank? The rank you get after watching the credits and secret ending :P I disagree with BrunoBRS on one thing though. Forced stealth like in Splinter Cell is the only one I feel is 'true' stealth :D
Perhaps try playing the game on a harder difficulty. You aren't punished a great deal on the Normal Mode, but you'll find it harder to fight your way out of problems on higher difficulties.

Forced stealth like in Splinter Cell is the only one I feel is 'true' stealth :D when stealth is forced upon you, it's usually not a case of "i'm so good i can pass by and no one will notice. i could kill them, but i won't" and more a case of "the game is designed so i'm completely useless unless i follow the path determined by the developer". and splinter cell is rather easy to go guns blazing. and i hate that game.
