YES! MGS4 more similar to MGS2 than to MGS3!

MGS2 was awsome when you played as snake. I thought 1 was the best, and i enjoyed 3 cause it actually let you play instead of showing movies every 3 steps! : )

Also, MGS3 wasn't as codec driven and such. The dependence on codec scenes in MGS2 was rather annoying to me. Are they able to talk with their minds or something? How would using codecs stop somebody from intercepting the conversation, especially if they're three feet from each other? For example, when you rescue Ames, he suggests moving to codec communication and Ocelot watching them through a camera becomes annoyed when they stopped talking, which is sort of weird considering you see Raiden using the codec in actual cut-scenes and the other characters can hear him.

 MGS4 has a quarter the amount of madatory codec of previous MGS4 games. Everything is done via real time cutscenes. Lots of optional codec though.
