Hah, you beat me to it; Hideo Kojima would be proud. Sounds like DARPA needs to start feeding old stealth video games into their robot's training data :)

- qikInNdOutReply 4y agoBut the AI in stealth games is literally trained to go out of its way to not detect you.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoThe cardboard box trick doesn't actually work in Metal Gear Solid 2, at least not any better than you'd expect it to work in the real world
- doubled112 4y agoYou have to throw a dirty magazine down to distract them first.
- yellow_postit 4y agoAnd have no one question why a produce box is near a nuclear engine/tank/ship/mcguffin.
- doubled112 4y agoAll it takes is one guard to say "that's how it's always been" and nobody will ever ask questions again.
- skhr0680 4y agoI remember MGS2 having different kinds of cardboard boxes for exactly the reason you said
- matheusmoreira 4y agoJust put a poster of a saluting soldier on the box. That'll fool them.
- thelopa 4y agoBack in the day I beat MGS2 and MGS3 on Extreme. The box shouldn’t be your plan for sneaking past any guards. It’s for situations where you are caught out without any cover and you need to hide. Pop in to it right as they are about to round the corner. Pop out and move on once they are out of sight. The box is a crutch. You can really abuse it in MGS1, but it’s usually easier and faster to just run around the guards.
- bschwindHN 4y agoYour mention of "Extreme" reminded me there's a "European Extreme" difficulty level, I only made it halfway through MGS3 on that (attempting no kills at the same time) The only strategy that somewhat worked for me was perfect accuracy tranquilizer shots, to knock them out instantly. That's probably the hardest game mode I've ever played.
- epolanski 4y agoOh, the tons of hours spent lying immobile in grass in that game attempting the same..
- matheusmoreira 4y agoSpending hours crawling around in grass only to get spotted, and then there's this guy: https://youtu.be/t4e7ibdS7xU https://youtu.be/t4e7ibdS7xU
- thelopa 4y agoOh the tons of hours waiting for menus to load to swap your camouflage pattern after crawling onto slightly different terrain…
- airstrike 4y ago> That's probably the hardest game mode I've ever played. Halo 2 on Legendary difficulty was ludicrously hard too

- stirfish 4y agoI just learned you can use the different boxes to fast travel on the conveyor belts in Big Shell
- skhr0680 4y agoThere’s even a scene where Snake tries “hiding” in a box and you can find and shoot him
- Apocryphon 4y agoHilariously enough, Kojima is enough of a technothriller fabulist that DARPA is explicitly part of that franchise's lore - too bad they didn't live up to his depiction. https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Research_and_development_agencies#DARPA https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Research_and_development_a...
