"MGS2 questions..." , posted Sun 28 Apr 12:27

Thanks to my cousin's PS2, I finally got to play and beat MGS2. However, the last part of the game was totally confusing for me, as Kojima decided to throw a whole bunch of plot revelations into a blender, set it on puree, and cram all of it down my throat.

So for any MGS2 vets who got the answers to these ?s, please clear these up for me:

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -

1. What is GW? It keeps getting mentioned several times but I never really knew what it was. Was it the virus?

2. Before the big showdown with Solidus, what was the deal with the Colonel and Rose? Was it actually the dead Patriots communicating with Raiden?

3. What's the difference between the two modes of the High Frequency Blade? I don't recall the game mentioning what it was...

4. Was Rose an AI all along, or was she temporarily "replaced" during the trek to Arsenal Gear?

5. What was the deal with all those people just magically appearing around Raiden after beating Solidus?

End of Spoiler

Again, any info is much appreciated.

Gaah, it's been too long since I have played it. I don't think I can remember any of that.

well here comes what I endersand:

1: Gw is the programm of the Arsenal gear, programm whit lauch code and the list of the 12 patriots.
The virus is a creation was done to erase the list of the patriots.

2:well...sorf of...

3:the red mode is for killing peoples, and the blue mod stunt them.

4:she's real and taken as an ostage by the patriots, like Olga's son.
In the taker she' an A.I at the middle part.
(that's what I'm thinking since she stop to bother raiden at the death of emma.)

The ending didn't make much sense. Kojima decided to make a ridiculous conspiracy theory revolve around his allegory about playing videogames. The problem was that the allegory didn't really hold up by itself and created too many plot holes to maintain consistent.

I get the feeling that the policy behind MGS2 is "Anytime something is inconsistent or makes no sense, the Patriots did it."

If we ever get a Metal Gear Solid 3, I wonder if, after playing through it, much of the last part of Metal Gear Solid 2 will finally make sense. Perhaps we might have to play through MGS2 again just to apply any explanations we get in such a sequel...
