I'm not who you're replying too and honestly I'm not to versed in ttrpgs but I would think a way to implement MGS theme is to make an rpg about them.

I think you would chase the players away with complicated plots and attention to detail.

You have to interrupt combat constantly to give your players the rundown.

The latest worm thread discussed this actually.

Play a mutant's and masterminds game where the PCs are part of a government kill team consisting of badasses, powered people and badass powered people, work out what you want to do from there.

I wonder if some of these posters have actually played a Metal Gear game before.

Metal Gear is about keeping a tone that is both very silly and very serious, as well as stretching the limits of plausibility. Crazy stuff should happen, and you should be asking, "wait, could that actually happen? Does that explanation make sense?"

Beginning and ending each session with a mentioning of Hideo Kojima.

No mission should ever be what it seems. Something big should always be hidden from the players until the end.

Basically this. MGS is a game of black trenchcoats performing espionage against a military group comprised of pink mohawks.
