I wont laugh hey I finished the game in 24 hours on my first try in normal mode but now I can finish it in 10. BUT 4 fox hound rank you have to finish no more than 5 hours without stealth i mean it takes five hours just to kill all the bosses in the game. Man wtf was hideo thinking when he made this impossible rank

Oh by the way you should get used to challenges their not only in life but MGS4 is said to become the hardest of the entire series, get ready...

Its not that hard really, once you set your pace.

Play it through once on extreme, and make a note of which areas have added security. The next time through, it should be a snap.

Remember to skip ALL cutscenes and codec conversations, as these are the main things that eat up your time. If you skip everything, there is actually not too many hours worth of gameplay at all to complete the game.

I got my foxhound rank the second time through, after I had all of the extra camouflages unlocked, which made many of the boss battles easier, especially using the sneaking suit that reduces all damage you take by half.

With those camos, you can gain a huge edge in the game, and it makes it much easier to get the foxhound rank. Use spirit camo to become silent when you run, and gain stamina from choking out enemy soldiers instead of eating a meal.

Using the Moss camo to refill your stamina is a great alternative to eating as well.

Using the extra camos that are unlocked will help you get the foxhound rank. It would be much tougher if you tried to start a brand new game on extreme, and get the rank first try.

Come on man..Fox hound rank is to easy to get...it is really peace of cake...i dont know why do you think it is impossible...

I cant even get under 8 hours on hard. I dont think I'll ever beat it on extreme.

You don't need any camos to get Foxhound other than the ones you start with in a fresh game. You can probably pick up some that make it easier, but you don't really *need* them.

I assume you are talking about the battle with the Ocelot unit. It's not too hard, though it isn't easy either. At the start, hide under the bed. When 4 guards rush in, throw 2 or 3 stun grenades to knock them all out (you can do it with 2 if you throw them in the right places in the room). Stun grenades knock guards out as well as the Mk22 or a melee floor slam.

Now 4 out of 10 guards are KOd, crawl out through the trapdoor that Eva left through, in the floor. Crawl out to the back of the building (the side opposite the entrance where you originally entered the zone). Crawl along the floor until you can see around the corner, and shoot the guard with mk22. Then there is a guard on the roof above you. He is tricky. You can either throw a stun (hard way) or time it right, climb up the ladder and shoot or melee KO him (easier way).

Then the rest of the guards are all on the ground level, and easy to take out. There is one cunningly hidden in long grass, but just use thermal goggles to see him.

I tried for a Foxhound rank once but failed. The End took up a lot of time, and bosses like The Fear and The Boss were just frustrating as hell. The Fear is easy, but not when you have to drain his stamina, and The Boss is just a cheap ass skank.
