Gameplay

Some changes have been made to the standard Metal Gear formula. Movement is done with the analog stick; actions such as co-op deportment use the directional pad; melee actions, which include multiple throws into a crowd of enemies, uses the R push; weapons uses the L push button with the R button. The actor is unable to move or shoot while laying down and while pinned to a wall, making Peace Walker the outset game since Metal Gear to lack any crawling power. The player can prepare the control system according to Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Metal Gear Solid four: Guns of the Patriots, or Capcom's Monster Hunter.

The Comrade System from Portable Ops has been removed in favor of co-op gameplay, with two players in the main missions and up to four players in the dominate missions called Co-Ops. Players can choose one of various different load-outs including one'south camouflage.

Naked: Wears simply calorie-free wear. Players who utilize the Naked uniforms are able to move fast, at the expense of lower stealth, weaker defense, and fewer items.

From left to right: Sneaking Accommodate, Jungle Fatigues and Battle Apparel.

Jungle Fatigues: A residue of stealth, defense, weapons, and inventory. Available in multiple camouflage patterns.
Sneaking Suit: A unlike version of Snake'southward uniform from Portable Ops, the Sneaking Adapt allows players to move without generating pes noises and accept higher camouflage compared to other suit while moving. Players can carry upward to five items and six secondary weapons.
Boxing Dress: A heavily armored variant, players equipped with the suit tin conduct a tertiary primary weapon and absorb much damage at the expense of less items, boring motion speed, and a lower camouflage index.
Tuxedo: Players who wear the Tuxedo can carry many items at the expense of less secondary weapons and cover-up index.

There are several actions that tin take identify when two Snakes are adjacent to each other. Ophidian-in allows players to hold on to each other every bit i role player leads the way. This besides allows the players to burn on the move. Other co-op actions include property upward closing doors, performing CPR on falling comrades, sharing items, and acting as a spotter for other players whose vision is obscured. The game adopts certain mechanics from Metal Gear Solid 4, such as the ability to move while crouched, the over-the-shoulder view, the CQC organization, and the ability to search held-up/knocked out soldiers. In addition, any items that are procured on site when such items are also maxed out in capacity (such as various recovery items and ammunition) tin nevertheless exist picked up and submitted to Mother Base, in a way similar to the item commutation from Metal Gear Solid 4 or the Deliveryman career in Portable Ops. The truck from Portable Ops, where players tin can bring subdued enemy soldiers for recruitment, has been discarded in favor of the Fulton Skyhook, which players attach to subdued soldiers and prisoners. In addition, the standard formula of procuring weapons on-site has been limited to throwing/placable weapons, items, ammunition, and uniforms, and recruiting soldiers, unlike in Portable Ops, does not allow the role player to proceeds firearms from them. Instead, the weapons themselves and other equipment have to be developed via an R&D team. In addition, playing every bit whatsoever enemy soldiers is just allowed for when doing a Versus Op, and even then merely when gaining the costume during gameplay, a significant difference from Portable Ops, where the player could play as the person they recruited.

An example of the different cardboard boxes available in the game. Shown here are the Tank Box and the Honey Box.

The Wi-Fi recruitment system from Portable Ops has been modified. Instead of tapping the Circle button to obtain a stiff enough betoken from an access indicate, the player will have to knockout soldiers with CQC to accept them. The cardboard box used to hibernate from enemy soldiers is at present available in 2-man versions called Love Boxes, which take dissimilar variants. The Surroundings Indicator in Portable Ops tin only exist used when it'south equipped in the particular box. Players will also develop and use an early version of the Soliton Radar from Metal Gear Solid. The game features the camouflage index arrangement from Metal Gear Solid 3. Unlike Metal Gear Solid 3, the player is unable to alter camouflage uniforms during a mission as the point index volition be entirely based on motility, position, and the size of the weapon equipped in the weapon box. The actor tin can too utilize marker devices to call in artillery strikes or resupply drops. Another modify from Portable Ops is that none of the recruited personnel really retain their original outfits when recruited, nor practice they actually take whatever unique characteristics on the field (they instead share the general male person or female person model). In improver, with the obvious exception of Big Dominate, none of the unique characters are actually playable during missions, they are instead Mother Base of operations exclusives.

Some of the game'south cutscenes will crave button inputs to advance the plot and tin can count towards the rating for completing a mission.

The crew management system from Portable Ops also returns through a feature called the Female parent Base of operations, an abandoned OTEC research platform in the Caribbean that serves as MSF's headquarters. Aside from managing the combat, medical, intelligence, and technology research teams seen in Portable Ops, the player tin assign personnel to the mess hall crew to feed the troops and keep upwards their morale. Rebellious or injured personnel can be brought to the brig and sickbay respectively. The player volition also accept a chance to capture military vehicles that appear in the game as pocket-size bosses, such as armored personnel carriers, tanks, and assail helicopters. Upward to 350 soldiers can exist recruited; excess staff caught in a mission must be discharged and up to fifty vehicles tin can be captured over the form of the game.

Peace Walker is the first canonical Metallic Gear game to not have a multiple playthrough option later on completing the primary game. On a related note, it is also the first and so far only Metal Gear Solid game that has the Tuxedo (or a similar outfit) that does not demand the full completion of the game to unlock (instead, it merely requires the first ending for information technology to be unlocked).

Peace Walker is the firstMetallic Gear game to have the thespian go through multiple torture sessions since the original Metal Gear Solid. Similarly, it is also the outset canon game since the originalMetal Gear to include a star ranking system which increases credentials (in this case, Heroism). Likewise, it is also the first game since Metal Gear to have Big Boss (temporarily) act as a radio contact (during the Mine Base version of the "Base Defense force" Extra Ops series of missions).

In addition to the story missions (referred to as Chief Ops), there are also optional missions known equally Extra Ops, too equally a Facebook-style game known as Outer Ops that involves deploying mercenaries to hotspots around the world.

Evolution

Hideo Kojima officially announced Peace Walker at Sony'south E3 2009 briefing, subsequently running various countdowns for the annunciation on a Konami website, stating that the squad that made Metallic Gear Solid 4 would return to help develop the game. Kojima besides stated that the game was not a spin-off, nor was it a side-story. He referred to both Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid: Rise as Metal Gear Solid 5, while specifically calling Peace Walker "the MGS5 inside me."^[ii] Before its official declaration, withal, Metallic Gear Solid 4 hinted at its development during Human activity 2 of that game in Naomi's explanation scene, where information technology briefly showed a timeline of all the Metallic Gear series games that came out upwardly to that bespeak, plus two blank squares saying "nether construction".

He was also planning on only being a producer of the game and focus on games not fix in the Metallic Gear series. He made the setting for the game in Costa Rica and created a story with themes nearly nuclear deterrence and the Cold War. When it looked like the story may exist too confusing to a younger audition, he decided to get more involved in the development of the game and decided to direct it, feeling that it was all the same a piddling likewise early to go out the game in the easily of the developers without his help.

In an open alphabetic character to fans in Baronial 2009, Kojima stated that Peace Walker would be a "total-featured" sequel that would "require hundreds of hours to complete."

Kojima besides stated: "Solid Snake'due south storyline has ended with Metal Gear Solid iv. But in that location's still a lot more when it comes to Big Boss' storyline. The Cold War was a time where people, neither good nor evil, were manipulated past various factors, and they became good or evil. The same goes for Liquid Snake, and nosotros'll get to see only what happened to him."
