the title is pretty self explanatory. feel free to explain why.

If you choose the MGS4 bosses please do not spoil or if you feel the need to explain, be sure to put *SPOILER* tags.

Note to moderators: this thread cannot be done in the general MGS4 thread and only concerns it partially so please do not lock because of relevance to MGS4 :D

I'm going to be different. I loved FOXHOUND and Dead Cell, not so much the Cobras, but my FAVORITE is the Beauty and the Beast Unit. There was just so much variety to them and they were all really fun to fight. Plus they had cool back stories and you got awesome weapons and items from them, such as the Rail Gun.

the cobras (havent played mgs1)

all of them were awesome imo (except for the sorrow, if he counts)

deadcell (weakest imo) it was fatman, vamp and fortune right? you didnt really even fight fortune, and fatman and vamp were alright at best.

b&bs they were pretty good

Cobra's.

I loved the end fight of MGS3 too...against The Boss. With the Snake Eater song, and the field of flowers, it was epic.

Same here. The sniper battle with the End is my all time favorite boss fight.

Cobras. but I hated the dead cell unit. The fights were, like normal boss fights. Nothing as epic as crying wolf, mantis or the end.

I never played MGS so I never fought the FOXHOUND bosses so my order would go like this:

Cobras > B&B Corps > Dead Cell > FOX (Portable Ops bosses)

Foxhound for me... most of the B&Bs were kinda replicates of earlier bosses like The Fury+Raven=Raging Raven, Sniper Wolf+The Sorrow= Crying Wolf, Decoy Octopus+ The Fear= Laughing Octopus, The Pain+Psycho Mantis= Screaming Mantis.

*Boss Spoiler*

The Cobras really challenged me - well at least one of them. I thought that most MGS bosses were fairly easy except for "The End." It wasnt easy playing a PS2 game in today's standards. He was very hard to see even with thermal goggles. Needless to say, that boss fight really pissed me off.

But my favorite group has to be Beauty and the Beast. They look awesome yet formidable. When I first saw trailers of the Beauty and the Beast unit, I was like, "This is the group you do not want to mess with." Downside, they looked so awesome but they were way too easy to defeat.

Yeah they were cool but a little unoriginal for the series at least for me.

Edit: Then again MGS4 in a way was a tribute to the series as a whole.

Cobras>Foxhound>B and B's>Dead Cell

The End, The Sorrow and the Fear are all awesome putting the Cobras first for me. Psyco Mantis, Sniper Wolf and Ocelot put Foxhound at number two. Screaming Mantis is the coolest of the B and B's but they're all designed so well both in characterization and visually. Vamp was the only cool member of Dead Cell.

I haven't fought any of the B&B's yet, but I liked FOXHOUND the best. Dead Cell was weak, nothing too interesting. The Cobras were pretty good, but I guess I'm the only one that HATED the fight with The End:P

Foxhound easily! I mean anyone who loves the series remembers the memorable fights against Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf! My order of preference is: Foxhound > Cobras > BBs > Dead Cell They're all awesome though, better and more memorable than a lot of good games out there.

Foxhound, and the Cobras were all pretty cool.

i didnt think much of MGS2's bosses or MGS4's

My favourites were, Ocelot, Ninja(Gray Fox), Liquid, Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven, Psycho Mantis, The Fury, The End, The Sorrow, Volgin, The Boss, Fortune, Vamp, Olga, Solidus in the Harrier, Liquid in the Hind, Solidus, Metal Gear Rex.

The rest sucked really.

Cobras: Each fight was epic.

The Pain was really cool with his bees

The Fear just scared the crap out of me with his forest jumping.

The End --> Self explanitory (epic sniper battle)

The Fury reminded me of Raven from MGS1 because of the way the stage for the fight was lain out.

The Sorrow haunted me (and scared me a lot)

The Boss had the awesomest place with pretty flowers and amazingly epic fighting/CQC

It would have to be the Cobra unit, The End and The Joy, or Boss was the best battles ever! Foxhound would have to be second. B&B third even thought those were the toughest battles ever, and Dead Cell last because Vamp was the only good character.

I enjoyed fighting the B&B bosses, and I even felt bad for them afterwards. Especially Crying Wolf, that damn wolf after you kill her...

In order of my fav boss group to least. Foxhound > B&B's > Dead Cell > Cobra Unit

I love each of the four boss groups but Cobra unit the least, still good though. Apart from 'The End' Boss I thought the others were pretty lacking.

Actually, he wasn't. Dead Cell worked FOR him. but for arguements' purpose, the MGS2 bosses in general were kind of lame... Fatman was SO lame... Vamp and Fortune were ok, and Solidus was disappointing... The Cobras (the ones i voted for) on the otherhand, were AWESOME!
