Will this thread also compile information known about the gameplay? For example:

• Snake can now run while crouched.
• Snake can recruit soldiers just like in Portable Ops, only much more efficiently by using the Fulton Recovery System.
• Snake has a much more in-depth level of CQC
• More than two people can fit into a cardboard box.

• Snake can 'play dead' to avoid detection.

If you can't see him, it's working.

In fact, Big Boss seems to have picked up a ton of stuff from MGS4.

I don't that's playing dead. I watched the video in HD over and over and it looks to me like the "Snake Crawl" from MGS4. You know, the really slow crawl that looks like he's humping the ground.

-Heavy gun emplacements (Machine guns) make a return.
