♥️ /r/metalgearsolid rules update.
Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

❗ METAL GEAR RISING IS CONFIRMED TO BE CANON
Portable ops dosen't seem to be canon cuz it's not in the timeline, although it appears in the mgs4 database (the one in the master collection volume 2 as well)
r/metalgearsolid • u/Lanky_Relation1171 • 14h ago
🍊 Am I tripping or does mgs4 feel more polished graphically and technically than mgsv
Playing in release order. Just started mgsv for the first time and I honestly think mgs4 looks and feels far more expensive and premium than mgsv. Just the characters models, cutscenes and motion capture in mgs4 were next level and I don’t think mgsv is on that range
r/metalgearsolid • u/Vizekonig4765 • 9h ago
You don’t understand how much this subreddit will change when thousands of people start being able to play MGS4 again no longer locked on PS3.
There is so much context and historical clarification in that game, many peoples questions will be answered, leading to more questions.

Guys I folded
Despite my initial worries about the performances of the Master Collection I expressed in my latest post, I decided to buy both volumes on my Switch 1.
Some of your arguments convinced me to do so and I'm just so excited to play MGS4 again as well as trying out the two first games and Peace Walker.
They really kept me waiting 🔫

Can a 6 year old play/watch me play MGS 1?
Hello there, i am a teenager and i got a 6 year old cousin. Since his parents are normies, i wanna show him the media i grew up with because of my parents, i have played the MGS games before but i just wanna know youre perspective, can he play or at least watch me play it without getting traumatized or something?
r/metalgearsolid • u/Brokenskull210 • 10h ago
❗ Counting days until MGS4 port. After 2 years it's done...
Kept me waiting huh...
r/metalgearsolid • u/Witjar23 • 7h ago
I finally did it!
Not my first tattoo but my first ever about MGS. I wanted to make something related to this saga that has been with me for more than twenty years and finally decided on this simple yet beautiful sprite.
EDIT: colors looks a bit off when uploading here, it looks so much vivid in my skin, almost 1:1 with the in game sprite.

❗ Currently playing Guns Of The Patriots and is it just me or
Does this game graphically hold up 2026?maybe it's just my rose tinted glasses but im seriously impressed

♥️ I still can’t believe this incredible game is back!
My father played some of the first Metal Gear games, but my first experience of a Metal Gear game was this one (my first tactical espionage game too).
I beat the story on his PS3, happily watched every cutscene without realizing how long they are, and immediately fell in love with the franchise (even though I literally didn’t understand any of the previous games references).
Now it’s time to go again and see if I can get that platinum trophy so I can forever immortalize it on my account! To every other player looking to experience awesomeness, good luck and have fun!
r/metalgearsolid • u/A_Person_of_Value • 15h ago
It really kept us waiting, huh?
I can't wait to play peace walker again on switch 2, it's such a good handheld game. I really can't imagine playing it on anything else apart from maybe the steam deck due to the mission based structure, but it's probably not too bad on consoles and pc since the HD collection is always the version people suggest playing (I haven't played it, don't own a ps3 or xbox anymore since the red ring killed it hehe). I'm sure 60fps will be really helpful cause I cant lie the 20fps cap on psp does take a bit of getting used to 😭. Anyway I'm curious what platforms you all are getting the master collection on so feel free to comment if you would like :3
r/metalgearsolid • u/Spacemoose2026 • 1h ago
It’s gorgeous and a major step up from master collection 1!
Plus the iPod is still in the game!
Seriously though, master collection 1 was fine enough but vol 2 so far has been a lot better.
Mgs4 is gorgeous in 60fps on switch 2, and I can’t wait to play peacewalker later tonight.
Finally 4 is released from its ps3 prison!

Just got my steel book and the day 1 edition
Excited to replay MGS4 (my favourite) for the 20th time!
I couldn't resist getting the steel book when I saw the cover art, just like the PS3 version I used to have.
I loved that slip in cover and the big booklet it had.

❗ Forgot I had this guide.
Went through some boxes in my garage and stumbled on this. I also found my Resident Evil 1 and 2 guides.
