I bought the game last summer....played it a bunch..got stuck...waited...played it again. The last time I played it was on New Years and I haven't played it since. I was stuck on Screaming Mantis and had no idea that it was pretty much the end of the game. I beat MGS2, never finished MGS3 b/c I hated the camera (always alerted people b/c I couldn't see where I was going). So fast forward to May 21st...I finaly beat the game...@ like 3am. I never understood the story behind this series (only really played half of it), so...was Liquid actually trying to destroy the network? Snake wanted to destroy it too? Why didn't they just do it together lol? I am so confused. I played and beat the hell out of Portable Ops too...but that was maybe 3 or 4 years ago. PLEASE HELP. The patriots were the network??? Who the hell is zero???

Liquid wanted to control it so Snake needed to destroy it if I remember correctly. Patriots controlled everything and they were basically the characters from MGS3. It's deeper than that but that is the basic telling. Zero is behind the Patriots and he was your radio comms guy in MGS3. Damn... what an epic game. Loved every single minute of it.

It would be insane to try and post that here, there is so much to this story, that it seems like you missed. I would recommend going to the Wiki and maybe downloading the MGS encyclopedia if its still available and read those.

oh ok...thanks a lot. i used to take extended breaks when i get stuck on mgs4 b/c i would be lost in the background story. amazing game. the next time we have a drought (when the games being released over a large period don't appeal to me; summer games OR another psn attack) i'll have to take another run through this game. the internet sucks though. i read somewhere that snake dies, and merril dies...so i was playing the game waiting on them to die. i also can't understand why people complained about too many cutscenes. three years later and they're still movie quality to me it's past 4am where i am. i'll check this thread tomorrow.

Look, Liquid wanted to control the network, wheras Snake wanted to destroy it (although Liquid said in the end when Snake destroyed it that it was just as he hoped things would end.) I too did not understand a bit of the hullabaloo that Liquid told Snake in the end lol. And as for Zero, I'm sure you have not played Portable Ops for a long time coz Zero is the Major Zero of Portable Ops. He was the one who created Solid and Liquid out of Big Boss in the Les Enfants Teribble Project. In the end, during the epilogue Naked Sin, he appears in a wheelchair with a cylinder feeding him oxygen. Then Big Boss kills him by cutting off his air supply. And thus Big Boss brings and end to the Big Bad lol!!!!!!!
