Downtown was the central area of a Middle Eastern city, which became a battleground between a local militia and the Praying Mantis PMC in 2014.

HistoryEdit

Liquid Ocelot's InsurrectionEdit

See Liquid Sun, Solid Sun, Third Sun, Twin Suns, Old Sun, and Naked Sin/Naked Son

After a close call involving a local militiaman's discovery of a Rat Patrol member, Snake passed through downtown in the midst of a firefight between the militia and Praying Mantis, in order to reach the Advent Palace. During the fighting, reinforcements arrived for Praying Mantis in the form of a Stryker. In addition, bombing raids from the PMC's X-80 Dragonfly-esque attack choppers also occurred near Advent Palace, and snipers were stationed in various parts of the area.

Behind the scenesEdit

Downtown appears in Act 1, Liquid Sun, of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. It is also featured as a playable map in Metal Gear Online, known as "Midtown Maelstrom" (not to be confused with the location within Eastern Europe in Act 3 called Midtown).
