Apparently, a gameplay presentation was shown behind closed doors to journalists at E3 (if this has been posted or I'm wrong about this, nevermind).

Mother Base and Fulton Recovery System

-You can get *anything* out of the battlefield using the Fulton Recovery System and send it back to Mother Base (soldiers, containers, weapons, even sheep)

-Whatever you do send back to Mother Base will show up there physically and you can interact with them all.

-Mother Base itself can be attacked, and your base's ability to defend itself depends on how well you equip it, train your men, and provide it with weapons.

-Big Boss himself can go in and out of Mother Base whenever you want to and walk around, CQC the hell out of your men to improve their levels, etc.

-Currency system in place, and everything has a cost (vehicles, supply drops, Fulton Recovery, air strikes, etc.)

-No load screen when riding to Mother Base and back to the battlefield, whole journey across the sea is visible.

-Each player's Mother Base will be different depending on player's choices on what they do with it, can share online with other players.

 

Story and Day/Night Cycle

-Afghanistan setting with Soviets in place.

-3 (real 24 hours) days time limit to rescue captured Kaz.

-Ocelot on radio.

-Soldiers in different positions in different times of the day.

-Real time weather: rain, sandstorms, etc.

 

Abilities

-Snake's prosthetic arm can be used to make noise to lure guards.

-Cardboard box: can pop out and shoot and pop back in, dive out of box when discovered, leave box as decoy, hide enemies inside box, etc.

-Call team to recon certain areas to get information on targets, soldier locations, etc.

-Call air strikes and decoy attacks to lure enemies away.

-Fast forward time by smoking an e-cigar with holographic smoke.

-Horse takes craps.

 

These are just some of the impressions, apparently. This game is supposedly 200x bigger than Ground Zeroes so basically, the map is huge and you can do anything you want with it. Very frickin impressive....

Horse shit simulation. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the next-generation of video games.

Not sure how I feel about that. I tend to hate time limits in games since I like to take things slow.

Trust me, 3 days is enough time to complete the mission.

And allegedly, you can forward time by smoking a cigar. No, seriously. That's what I've heard.



Wow it sounds like an amazing game, but yeah I hope the time limits won't be.. too limiting.



You have 72 hours to complete a game. I think that's plenty of time.

You misunderstand. the 3 days is to rescue Miller. To deal with the remaining Soviets in the area, you can do that until forever if you want to.
