Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Is this the final installment of the MGS series?

Thats an interestin question! In one of the cutscences in the game it scrolls thru all the games of the series staring way bak on the likes of the SNES games then it scrolls right up and stops at MGS4 and below MGS4 there is two empty boxes that said "Under Construction" :s

Its not the last metal gear solid, its unclear as to wether its the last one Kojima will create because he said he wouldnt make another at the end of mgs1, 2 and 3. Its certainly the last Metal Gear with Snakes story though.

So, everyone, do you think that this may be the greatest game ever?

Not even close. But the series as a whole does rank pretty high on the list as ONE OF the best ever.

Just got through the game.

There is so much I want to say, but there is no word for the entire game other than EPIC! Top 3 games, ever made! And the ending, jawdropping

Now I want it so bad, I'm going cry in the corner. :cry:

Okay, what the hell - Wanted to start again, now the game is installing between chapters, AGAIN?!

That's pretty lame ...

By the way, a quick picture from the ending, do not look unless you want a pretty big spoiler;

Alright, this is gonna probably sound odd to some of you, but eh what the hey.

Would someone who has finished the game, and seen the ending mind either posting in spoiler tags! or PM'ing me how the story ends with Snake? I have no way of playing the game, nor can I afford getting a PS3 anytime soon, and I'm dying to know how it ends.

:(

Just finished the game a few hours ago and watched the blue disk included with the limited edition!

Well I'm going to post my opinions all in spoiler tags because I don't want to ruin any single bit of mgs to anyone!

The game is Epic! I can't find words to describe it any better. The atention to detail, the MGS kodac moments (not codec, I'm refering to things like the snake and the not so solid statue :p), the gameplay, the sound, the items, etc! I loved every bit of it, but I must say that the thing I truly loved is Act 4! I don't think I will ever find a game moment that will be as memorable as that (unless they do a remake of the first game with the original soundtrack). The ending was incredible, I think the voice of that cool guy that dies in the end should be played by David Hayter in a diferent tone, but I understand why they didn't do that. I've beaten the game as fast as I could, took me 16hrs, now I'm going to take my time to take a closer look to every little detail.

There is only a little problem for everyone that want's to have a play with a certain very special facecamo... the game must be beaten within 5 hrs, no alerts, no kills, no special items, no nothing in the hardest level... I don't believe that it is possible... I was hoping for a bit more of mgs 1, but I guess this is mgs4 :D

Audioboxer: if you want to talk to anyone about mgs4 you can PM me.

Oh by the way The MGS1 FaceCamo is freakin' awesome, you can just see all 5 pixels :rofl: Also the part where Snake dreams of Shadow Moses, you get to play a bit of MGS1, so awesome!

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
