Changes: Codename (gameplay)

Revision as of 15:46, 5 July 2015

This article is about the codenames awarded to the player. You may be looking for the codenames used by characters.

In the Metal Gear series, a codename or title is awarded to the player upon completion of each game, often based on certain gameplay statistics. Originally introduced in Metal Gear Solid, this feature was also included in the re-released versions of the earlier games.

Metal Gear

The requirements are fairly simple in that it only requires a specific time to finish the game, which in itself is divided into how long it takes to defeat each boss.

A codename is also awarded for completion of the Boss Survival mode.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

There are several gameplay statistics that determine which codename is awarded to the player. Early versions of the game also awarded the player with a clear code that could be submitted to the game's official website, recording these statistics on a leader board for each geographical region.^[1]

Notes

ALERT MODE
When playing Tanker-Plant, there are three scripted Alert modes.

MECH DESTRUCTION
Destroyed cameras, both gun cameras and surveillance cameras, UAVs and Metal Gears. In both Extreme modes, the player has to destroy 20 RAYs to complete that boss fight, so they are allowed to destroy 39 cameras and UAVs.

SHOTS FIRED
The game counts every shot the player takes with a gun that fires bullets (lethal or non-lethal) and missiles. Weapons that don't count are: Cooling Spray, Magazine, any kind of grenade, empty magazine and H.F. Blade.

CLEARING ESCAPE
The number of times the player has escaped Clearing Mode, following Evasion Mode (e.g. hiding in lockers/ducts while enemy soldiers perform a clearing sweep).

SEA LOUCE
For the Sea Louce [sic] codename, the player must complete the game with a sea louse in their inventory. The sea louse will attach itself on a ration.

MISSION FAILED
The table below refers to the secret stats shown on the Plant's Mission Failed screen. The player can die after saving to examine the current stats for the playthrough.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

100510102708ef2b2922195e53 — *Peace Walker* codenames.

Unlike previous games, codenames in Peace Walker are awarded after completing various missions a certain number of times, rather than playing through the entire game. Similarly, the gameplay requirements have been reduced to the weapon types used, the player mode, and whether the use was lethal or non-lethal for the most part. In addition, insignias are issued for the various tasks involving the (lack of) use of recovery items, (not) triggering an alert, among others.
