You are the player (Old Snake) and must navigate the game world in order to progress, using stealth and cunning this where where espionage action comes in word in addition to traditional combat. It uses third person view with full camera manipulation, but also allows the freedom to play in first-person mode. Personally the first person is quite pointless as it isn't that accurate unless the opponent is still and even if you shoot him once he should remain still for the kill. So stick with third person view. Players can also use a new form of camouflage called "Octocamo," which replaces the camouflage system featured in Metal Gear Solid 3. Also there are box hiding and barrel hiding.
Metal Gear Solid 4 wraps up the series and it also comes with metal gear online with the same controls and the ability to customize the player you wish.
