So, i started my Big Boss Extreme run this morning.
I was planning on sharing my progress about it tonight, while commenting on your tips and talking about my run overall.
And i will, however in a very different way than i'd have expected.

I'VE DONE IT
I'VE FINISHED IT
I'VE COMPLETED MY BIG BOSS EXTREME RUN
IN 3 HOURS GAME TIME
AND ABOUT 11 HOURS IN REAL TIME
IN ONE SINGLE DAY
I WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT I COULDN'T DO FOR MONTHS YEARS AGO
THE BIG BOSS RANK IS MINE
I AM BIG BOSS HIMSELF!!!!!

And before i keep on rambling in extreme excitement, i must say
THANK YOU
All your tips and comments really helped me. Watching that playthrough, following your recommendations...i guess i could say that without it all, i wouldn't have been able to finish it. So thanks ಥ3ಥ
Of course, this run needed more than just useful videos and tips...it was really, REALLY HARD. I probably loaded my game over 200 times, sometimes even up to 20 in a single part. The hardest parts for me were the Bike chase and the Crying Wolf battle. Indeed, i took about 2 hours in the Bike chase, the second hour being entirely dedicated to the 3rd area...it is true that you must NOT get hit during the first part of that area, because later it becomes BULLET HELL and i DON'T know HOW i managed to survive it; took me a while to reach the bullet hell part unharmed, and then somehow those FROGS were able to deplete my 100% health while i tried my best to auto-aim-shoot them D: And for the Crying Wolf battle...i failed ALOT at following Tetraninja's strategy, then i tried the camping strategy and i couldn't even take out 25% of her health before she got in a position to Rail Gun me to death, and then i used the Haven camo/facecamo (because i could NEVER get pass the first FROGS) and proceeded to smoke/stun the hell out of wolfie, it was actually easy after dealing with the FROGS XD Those DAMNED FROGS, i think i'll RAPE them or something in my next playthroughs .____. They deserve it...plus i think they actually look hot under the suits. BUT ANYWAYS 83 lol
I don't have exact times right now (i'm in my bed rolling around in joy and stuffz), but i finished it in around 3:20 or so; i remember i finished Act 1 in 38 min, and Act 2 in 1:23. And i followed your tips and Tetraninja's strategies the best i could. I saved all the time, used the Metal Camo, and i actually spammed tranq. bullets alot XDD But thanks to that, i actually finished the first FROGS battle quickly, and yeah, there's 40 bullets in Act 2 that you can pick up without changing routes, 40 in Act 3 on the first area, 40 in Act 4 that you can also pick up without much sidetracking, and 20 in Act 5 before the last battle...there's probably more but that's enough to survive even with bullet spammage. I also did the Resistance glitch, and not much for the time but because of saving bullets (which is only necessary in the first area, which is VERY HARD...second area only has 2 soldiers in the way, and for the third area you can literally just walk behind him with no worries), the little glitches in the first and last FROGS battle to skip stuff, and almost all those cool moves where a Stun Grenade can take down many enemies at once.
And yeah, thanks to all the help, and apparently my own share of skill which is way bigger than it was 3-4 years ago, i have proudly earned the Big Boss emblem, and soon i'll be sharing that Platinum trophy with you x3 Just a matter of playing like 8 more times by killing and not killing and being found and not being found. lol And i wanted to do this Big Boss run first...because if i wasn't able to obtain such emblem, there was no point in obtaining all others D:

The most epic handshake this entire universe has ever known.
If there was a way to "like" your post, i'd have liked it 100 times already.
Again, thanks ಥ3ಥ lol
*Big Boss salute thingy*
...
*i actually did that the moment i saw the screen with the rank*
*i even stood up straight and all*
*i'm so silly*

And a bit of a fun fact to add, i thought that the Big Boss facecamo was actually Big Boss' face, with the eyepatch and all.
So i must say i was a bit disappointed when i found out the truth...but well, that COMPLETELY explains why PMC soldiers go crazy and FROGS pass out upon seeing that D: lol
