The man jogged on down George Washington Bridge. When he left his apartment, it was 9:00 PM. With no watch he couldn't be certain, but he figured he had taken an hour to reach the Hudson River. Even though the area was crawling with pedestrians, the No Vehicle protocol was still in use.
He slowed down to a fast walk, and lit a cigarette in the light rain. The USS Discovery snaked down the river, barely noticeable in the weather and night sky.
'Guess I'm on schedule.' The ship continued toward him. 'There are better ways to get onboard a boat' he thought.
Tossing the cigarette over the railing, he began to sprint. Stopping abruptly at the middle of the bridge he tossed off his poncho. Some traffic slowed down to gaze at the man, now wearing a tight gray and black urban camouflage uniform. The suit was bustling with pockets, hooks, and harnesses. Out of one pouch he pulled a long elastic rope.
Fastening it to the bridge, he pulled himself up onto the ledge. With a deep breath, he dove. Unfortunately he was a second too soon, instead of connecting with the ships surface he slammed into the railing. Usually something to keep things on deck, it was keeping him out. Acting quickly, he unhooked the bungee cord struggling to pull him up. Trying his best not to slip he pulled himself onboard.

Otacon: Snake, do you read me?
Snake: Loud and clear Otacon, sorry to have kept you waiting.
Otacon: According to Intel, there's a new Metal Gear on this ship.
Snake: Must be in the holds then.
Otacon: Probably.
Otacon: But first, I want you to go to the top level of the infrastructure, the bridge. We need to find out where this tanker is heading.
Snake: A little reconnaissance, eh?
Otacon: There is too much we don't know about this new prototype. Capabilities, launch method. We don't even know how close it is to completion.
Otacon: If I know where the testing arena is I can-
Snake: Start to draw some reasonably conclusions. All right, I'll head up to the bridge ASAP.
Otacon: Try to avoid confrontations, our goal is to collect evidence of this new Metal Gear and expose it to the world. It would be best to get out of there without alerting anyone.
Snake: Don't worry. I know the drill. We're not terrorists.
Otacon: Very good. Don't forget you are part of "Philanthropy" now. An Anti-Metal Gear organization and officially recognized by the UN.
Snake: Recognized, but still fringe Otacon.
The ship wasn't well lit; the crew obviously didn't want any unwanted attention. Snake pressed himself against some crates strapped down near he landed. Three guards to his left, three to his right and one on the walkway above him. Getting in would be fun.
Snake: They don't look armed-
Otacon: Hey, Earth to Snake. These are nice, upstanding, marines. Not some foreign militia. Don't get caught; you are in stealth mode here.
Snake: And if it comes to that, a little beauty sleep never hurt anyone. By the way, are you sure of this Intelligence?
Otacon: Absolutely. Hacked it out of the pentagons classified files myself.
Snake: No traces?
Otacon: Oh please, moi?
Snake: We can't rule out the possibility of this being a trap. We are both ranked pretty high on the wanted list, y'know?
Otacon: You worry too much.
Snake: I hope so.

Umm, MGS2 may just have the greatest ending to any video game, EVER. This ending's impact is on par with the impact the first Matrix provided to movie goers everywhere. This game will make you rethink EVERYTHING you consider to be true.

this is a blatant rip off of the first scene of MGS2. However, it was well written, and since the Metal Gear Series
is on par with Zelda as the greatest series ever, +1 for you!

I won't -2 my Sith Apprentice though.

I've actually played every Metal Gear game ever made, and beaten all of them, except for the recent Twin Snakes and Snake Eater.
Silent Hill is a better series, for my money, but they are both the best games of their kind.

Fabish, from what you've said you played about the first ten minutes of the game. I don't think you should be passing judgement.

Metal Gear Solid (the first one) is my second favorite game. I never played much of MGS2 (since I don't own a PS2 of XBox), but I'm sure it's just as good as the first.

I rented that game last week for Xbox. It was the first Metal Gear game I ever played. Well if you call watching the intro, looking at the control scheme, finally figuring out I CANNOT control the camera, and then shutting off the game playing it, than it was also the last time I'll ever play it. It was retarded, and why does everything have to involve Russians?
Either way, the game sucks, and the only way the new one will be awesome is if they completely remake the way Metal Gear games are played. The game was pitiful - so I won't base my rating on how horrible the game was, but I still don't understand why you posted the dialogue to the intro.

Nice. Ended too soon.
I've heard a lot about the Metal Gear series... I hope that through these stories, I can learn more about the plots, which I hear are outrageous.
