Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank NORMAL Walkthrough Mission 1: Ground Zeroes HD1080p


This is the first story mission where getting an S rank is quite easy, all you need to do is deactivate the reflex mode from the Gameplay menu and rescue all hostages and you are almost certainly guaranteed the S-Rank

This is the second spec-ops mission in the game where you have to kill or extract two renegade snipers entitles the eye and the finger. We will kill them in 5 minutes by using a sniper rifle from a truck at the start of the mission. Pretty cool mission, one of my favorites where you can show off your sniper skills, enjoy !

In this mission Snake is gonna rescue non other than Hideo Kojima, the game creator himself xD If you play this on the PC I would highly recommend that you use the mouse aiming with the pistol to take out all the enemy soldiers as fast and accurate as possible, the mouse aim makes this mission a cake on both normal and hard.

This is one of the easiest missions, in the game and if you ain't playing it on Hard mode where it will get harder because you dont have a silenced weapon, than this mission is pure cake, watch ^^

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank NORMAL Mission 5: Destroy the Anti Air Emplacements HD1080p


This mission can be quite hard if you don't know what to do but you can actually steal a rocket launcher from one of two enemies and blow up 3 AA stations and blow up the incoming armored vehicle before people will even notice what hit them xD Enjoy !
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank NORMAL Mission 6: Déjà-Vu HD1080p
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank NORMAL Mission 6: Déjà-Vu HD1080p


This is one of the former PS3 excluisve missions called Déjà-Vu which brings back good memories and is fun to play overall :) You, don't need to recreate all pictures (only 3 and be very fast to get the S-Rank). If you want to get the Quiz you need to recreate all of them thou but since this guide is only to show you how to get the S-rank quick I will apply the classic Snake skin and run through Shadow Moses Island or.... not ! =))))

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank NORMAL Mission 7: Jamais Vu HD1080p


This is the second DLC former Xbox 360 only mission where Raiden from Metal Gear Rising Revengance will join the fun and you have to take out 8 Body Snatchers and neutralize 4 humans :D This is one of the most fun and best missions in this game and there is a very quick way to finish it but I recommend you do if for yourself ! Also you dont even need to stay in cover and use the silencer, just dont get spotted thats it ! Enjoy and have fun !

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - S-Rank HARD Mission 1: Ground Zeroes HD1080p


Now we will try to tackle every mission on Hard mode difficulty ! Don't be scared because aside from maybe 1-2 missions hard difficulty isn't much harder than Normal difficulty but you have fewer or no tranquilizer bullets and Snake dies in fewer hits, aside from that as long as you save all 7 POWs and deactivate Reflex mode and know your way around without many retries, you are guaranteed the S-rank even if you have a terrible time or above 5 retries :D

This mission can turn out quite tedious on Hard mode because you have to remain completely undetected to obtain the S-Rank, I recommend you do it the same way as on Normal but this time we will let the driver of the truck exfiltrate us out of the base, which will also get you an achievement, watch ^^

this chapter list is horrible.

Sigh... I can't complete Intel Acquisition on hard quickly enough to get S. The truck method doesn't work because for some reason the AI is broken; when the driver wakes up, he gets in the truck and drives into the wall and then just stays there forever.

nah man....max payne 3 beats it. Arcade mode and "A New York Minute" Hardcore u ahve to play the whole campaign in one session with a timer running ....if you die u restart from the beginning, if the timer runs out u start from the beginning. shit is really hard.....yet have to do it and is the only thing left i have to do in the singleplayer part of max payne 3.
would be around 6 hours if not more in one single session

oh yeah... thats the Max Payne I hate most XD

yup its rather easy ^^ I remember Big Boss rank in MGS2 on european extreme... that game will break everyone... 8 saves only... only Dead Space 2 comes close in terms with its 2 saves limit but still its not for the faint of heart :|

reflex mode, 41 kills yet s-rank....
its all about time, which in my opinion is a little bit sad.
played around what really counts for s-rank and its mostly only time.
