Man the ray is fucking trash
Rex was the best Metal Gear
the ray only seems like trash because you don't know that solidus is an s rank wizard that put an explosive ammo enchantment on his gun
only the mass produced ones were trash, the normal ones could go head to head with rex
>>381601193
The normal one lost against the rex, and it was barely working
>>381601858
And RAY was supposed to be an anti-REX model
The problem with Ray is that there were lots of them; Raiden defeats around 9 to 12 in MGS2. There was only one Rex, therefore he was special, like the Xenomorph in the first Alienmovie.
>>381601858
MUH OVERCLOCK MODE THAT MAKES REX AS AGILE AS RAY
MGS4 was Bravo Nolan levels of garbage
>>381600893
RAY is fucking sexy, look at dem curves.
>>381601858
>>381602078
Man the ray is fucking trash
why in the bloody hell would you need a counter-REX weapon in the first place
it's just a big machine, it can easily be taken out with proper application of conventional weaponry
>>381602130
Actually the RAYs which served as guards for Arsenal Gear were cuck models with shitty armor and payload. The Tanker one, with the tail, was the real one. Hence Solidus disabling the mass produced ones with a submachinegun of all things
>>381602343
>cuck models
We have to stop eventually.
>>381602450
Never
>>381602343
Ah, it always bothered be that a few bullets took out a Metal Gear.
>>381602343
but seriously though, even in universe, what's the bloody point of building one of those knockoff rays when they can be taken out by a dude with an smg
>>381602531
How did such a simple insult involve into this mainstream slur. Poor moot most think about it every time he sees it
>>381602343
A fucking p90 of all things, I will never not be mad, what's the fucking point, they can't even protect themselves from an smg
>>381602705
What's the point of a Metal Gear to begin with. "A bridge between infantry and artillery". Wew. More like a glorified tank with a nuke. A nuclear sub is much older tech and can deliver a nuke and be far less exposed than a huge dumb bipedal mech
The scenario writers know for the series a lot about the details of equipment and war but don't have much of a knack for what would actually constitute something useful in combat. Snake's organization in MGS2 is Philantrophy, an "anti Metal Gear organization". Might as well make an anti-armored tank organization
Agree, Rex is much cooler.
>>381603014
>Wew. More like a glorified tank with a nuke
Literally what the Shagohod was. I have no idea why in the MGS universe it evolved into bipedal mechs other than "because it's cool". Bipedal walkers would be much worse than vehicles with treads, and a leg failure int h e field would result in a catastrophic fall of a multi-ton machine. Not so with treads
Guess japs wanted these giant mechs in there somehow, no matter how dumb it sounds
>>381600893
What's the problem? RAY is perfectly thicc
>>381603014
The original Rex was capable to shot undetectable nukes from any place, that's all, the legs were mostly for mobility, I don't think it was meant to fight against tanks or shit like that
>>381603014
at least in some way you can see a use for a land based stealth nuke launcher
yeh irl there's no way that the REX wouldn't be a huge waste of money but the knockoff RAY's are on a whole different level
If your multi-million dollar armored vehicle can be taken out by an SMG of all things, someone should get fired
out of a cannon
into the sun
I mean you're talking about older tech and such but I'm pretty sure even the Mark I could stand up to modern day SMG's
>>381600893
design wise:
Ray > Rex >> Excelsus > Sahalantropus > Peace Walker > Zeke
>>381602963
>A fucking p90 of all things
hey don't you be dissing the P90
If it's good enough for O'neill it's good enough for you
>>381603391
>Guess japs wanted these giant mechs in there somehow, no matter how dumb it sounds
This is true but usually they try to excuse it by saying biped walking tanks are adaptable to any terrain whereas treads are not. Doesn't handwave why having a leg failure and falling down making them useless wasn't a big enough factor to not use them though.
>>381603820
oh ye Shagohod is in-between Excelsus and Sahala
>everyone is going on about the smg
I told you faggots already, solidus is a wizardvand the gun is enchanted. if that explanation doesn't work for you, the gun shoots nanomachine and parasite filled rounds
>>381603882
not to mention that's blatantly untrue given large inclines would still give bipedal movement more issues than threads and it would get stuck in anything resembling swampy terrain
>>381603882
They rex didn't failed in 14 years of being in an awful position after being shot a lot of stingers, legs work good enough in MGS universe
>Ray didn't even have nuclear weapons
Why call it a metal gear at all
>>381601193
Isn't the one "Liquid" has a modified one? Rays are pretty trash desu
>>381600893
Because Ray is Neval Unit. Ray cannot defeat Rex, because both are for different usage.

>>381604583
then tell me what is Ray's job
exactly what can that damn thing do that a helicopter can't
>>381600893
Everything looks like trash when pitted against the most devastating weapon in human history.
>>381604770
travel underwater
>>381600893
>easily thwarted by exploding knees and an old fart with a p90
what trash, this goes beyond grenades to the knees. Just remember all the shit it took to drop Rex
>>381605312
Nigga the ray was supposed to be the ultimate metal gear killer, it was amphibious because it was a navy design
>>381603391
Gekkos are much more maneuverable than tanks. Also they can get up again.
>>381600893
RULES OF NATURE!!!!
>implying raiden's battle against RAYs actually happens
where would it even thake place? it's like an enormous room with infinite space
>>381606471
On top of Arsenal Gear retard. What e-celeb 2deep4u horseshit have you been listening to?
>>381605312
given it can't actually fight underwater properly, the helicopter's "just fly over it" tactic is significantly superior
>>381606617
nope, it's arsenal gear rectum, that is the asshole of arsenal gear, why would they call the top of it its ass?
>>381605524
The ray was defence for the Arsenal gear senpai.
>>381605524
It was supposed to kill all the REX Chinese knockoffs, and you could argue it was a success as it became the new base for Chinese knockoffs. It was never intended to destroy the real REX because 1)REX was shoved under the carpet with people thinking Snake destroyed it and 2) because it actually was impossible to do so, Otacon made the Radome->Cockpit strategy work by design, REX had an otherwise impregnable armor
>>381602959
Never forget rules 1 and 2 ;_;
MOOOOOO
>>381607001
It can't defend itself against 5.7 mm weapons
>>381606992
the only rectum here is you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpL5ggfYAok
Was she wrong?
>>381606471
it takes place in VR, as does the rest of the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hmFg8ipwgk
the fact that there are retards that still think it really happened is baffling
>>381610045
fuck off
>>381610221
your helmet's too tight, anon, you're getting grumpy
>>381602078
RAY was designed to destroy black market north korean knock offs of REX
>>381610045
> Solidus takes down 3 of them in rapid-succession
> Raiden > Solidus
> "it was ALL VR!"
wew
>>381603014
everyone fucking knows that it's an absurb idea and it's only there for rule of cool.
> but don't have much of a knack for what would actually constitute something useful in combat.
or maybe they just aren't as autistic about /k/faggotry
>>381610045
No, it wasn't.
