Okay I gotta comment on few things about MGS V.

For those who doesn't know it's kind of like GTA Afghanistan. Take's place during the soviet invasion in the 80s. You have this big area you can travel around freely and you start missions by accessing certain points. All soviets assume you're enemy and will shoot on sight. And apart from occasional prisoners you won't meet anyone else here. However, you're not with mujahideens fighters or CIA or anything, you're there for your own goals. You can complete missions by doing it stealth way or just blasting everyone with supreme firepower. The game provides lots of tools for both playstyles, although in most cases it seems to reward stealth approach more. On rare occasions making a quick strike with big gun and escaping as soon as your objective is complete is the best sulution. In my case it's mostly attempted stealth and then somewhere in the middle I screw up and have to resort to violence.

The enemy's AI is rather good. It managed to surprise me on couple occasions. I was redoing one of the missions to complete some challenges that it included. I was to assasinate spetsnaz commander stationed at one of the outpost. I picked up sniper rifle, waited until night and deployed on a cliff from which I had excellent view of enemy base. I quickly found the commander and dispatched him while he was going for a walk, ofc alerting every other soldier in the camp. I called a helicopter strike on enemy base and I immidiately heard enemy on the radio calling to focus on the chopper instead of me. Didn't really need to do that, just wanted to see how does it do in action. They manned the anti air gun I forgot about and heli didn't last long, but at least it distracted enemies from me for a moment. After couple dead soviet soldiers later one of them shouted through the radio "It's a sniper, everyone dig in" and they all hid in places I couldn't reach them. Since I was low on sniper ammo anyway I decided to finish rest of them up close and so I began running towards the base, and good thing I did that cause in that very moment they started firing mortars at me, first a flare and then normal explosive rounds. I saw a lot of those stationary equipment in their bases but never saw them use it, this was the first time.

I looked it up and apparently it has been a meme since the very first game. And useful equipment for infiltration as well. Ofc the enemy soldiers will immidiately find it suspicious if they notice you walking in it or even just standing in the open. You can slide through the side while they come investigate and use it as a distraction, or even just stay inside until they come close to make a surprise attack. Although I saw them fire at the box when they were on highened alert level. You can even put posters of half naked women on the cardbox to distract enemy combatants for a little longer.

Just in case someone got interested but don't really know about the game, it doesn't take itself 100% serious (see the cardboard box). Also there's some kind of supernatural elements to the story since basically mission 1. Not much of that so far in my gameplay but be aware of that if it's not your thing.
