HARD mode question
 

I'm stuck at the part where you have to shoot out the controls for the infrared lasers before the fight with the herrier. I've been to gamefaqs.com, but their guides aren't clear enough as to where each one is. Just post how to get all of them and I'll figure out what I haven't got, Thank you.

The first 4 control units should be easy. Three of them are right in front of
Raiden: One is glued to the central pump and two of them are safely tucked
next to pulsing C4's on the ground to the left. The fourth one is fused on
top of the doorway entrance to Strut D.

The remaining six are tricky to find. First, use the Scope to scout the rough
locations, and then know exactly where they are to supplement my text-based
locations. Ok, let's get the easiest ones. The first of the six to find is
attached to the hovering Cypher in the distance. Zoom in on blinking control
box mounted on the very top of it. Be sure to hit the box only.

Move to the right alcove to get a better view of the next one. Look directly
out into the distance to find this set plastered to the east of the entrance
to Strut G. It's a structural outline of a Shell: Six surrounding C4s and a
single control unit in the center. Carefully snipe the control box. Two down,
four more to go.

Then move to the left alcove and zoom in to the left of the Strut G entrance.
There, Raiden finds the third bunch of the control units encompassed by
several Semtex. After it's been put out of commission, look down to the
bridge to find the next control unit snuggled on the left side in the far
corner.

The second to the last control box is planted on the wall behind the flapping
Sons of Liberty flag off the west side of Strut G's entrance. Wait a while
for a gust of wind to waft the flag off to the side to reveal the control box
situated behind it. You may not know whether or not the shot made contact
with it, so just wait for another breeze. Or you could just wipe out the last
control unit to find out.

The last one is situated on a small ledge below the Strut G entrance on the
west wall. A flock of birds indicates its location. Aim and shoot the unit.
If you end up slaughtering the seagulls instead, the warning should have
drove them away, leaving an open shot. If all goes well, you'll hear a sound
bit where the sensors are put out of gear.
that should help you, if it doesn't buy the official strategy guide, it has pictures of all of them and tells you exactly where they are. ;)

also, if u f*ck up lots of times doing it, it shows show where all r.

Thanks for the help. I found the one I couldn't get. It was the one underneath the connection bridge. I don't see why you would need the sniper rifle for any of the control units up to Hard mode except for the Sypher.

On European Extreme there is about 14 or 16, a pain in the ass to find.

It's the same over here. It took me a long time to figure out where the one I was missing was located.(weeks before I started playing other games)

I know they are hard to find, took me weeks as well.

Now I'm stuck at the Harrier fight. I have a hard time dodging the attacks because I like to go into all-out attack mode.:cool: I should start thinking about moving around more. I don't see how it's possible to get the Big Boss Rank.

does the harrier cluster bomb you on hard?

if so the tip here is to do that flip jump with raiden over the barrier in the centre, to dodge the clusters this way you dont get hurt.
btw have fought fortune yet?

Yes I have. You only figth her once right?

Yes you do.

Then why did you ask the question? Was it ebcause you forgot when you fight her?

Anyway, the Harrier fight is still giving me problems. How many of the Metal Gear RAYs do you have to destroy in HARD mode.

Nah it dosent matter now because your past her, I was going to give you a few tips.


On hard it's 3 rays I think, isnt it 20 on extreme? that is stupid dont you think?

Yes, I heard it was all 20 in Extreme. I think Forune wasn't all that hard the first person two really give me problems is Fatman, but I finally did it one time where I went to a movie night at someones house. My heart was pounding really fast after that, It was so close and I was really happy.

Is just that fortune on Euro extreme is stupid, so EXTREME, it was so hard to beat her, took hours and hours. I just thought fortune could of been hard to beet on hard mode.

Nope, she's not all that hard, I don't think I died at her. How about some tips on EXTREME and Did you ever try to get the "BIg Boss" rank?(anyone)

Well EXTREME and EURO EXTREME are both the same accept ones harder, but if some gives you a tip it goes for both of them.

Nope i never tried to get that ranking, where does it tell you your ranking? at the end of the game?

Well over here they give you a password and a link to go to find out your rank is. I don't know about there though.

Do you have to go on the konami's website or something?

I believe so.
