However, Détente--the easing of international tensions--emerged at the end of the 1960's, and the compound was discarded. Abandoned by their country, many soviet soldiers remained behind. Why has FOX taken control of this peninsula? What secret project is being developed here? Will Snake escape and survive long enough to clear his name?

Get a glimpse at Tokyo Game Show 2006...
WAR HAS CHANGED.
Some legends are meant to die.
War has changed. The era that saw soldiers fighting out of patriotism has ended. War has become a commercial transaction, and nations populate the theatre of war with hired PMC (Private Military Companies) operatives. Soldiers once existed to risk their lives and limbs for their mission, but no more. On MGS4's battlefields, emotionless mercinaries now wage nations' wars in the name of business interests. Weary of war. Snake clenches his teeth and endures the pain, fighting as he risks the very principle of his existence on the frontlines. What challenges will he face? The Playstation 3 unleashes upon the world a whole new depiction of war.

And the tides of war change with each passing moment. Snake, unable to rely on the security of perminant hiding places, must learn to survive in a war zone that grows and changes like a living thing.
NEW WAY TO HIDE.
The OctoCam camouflage system.
Snake enters the battlefield with a new tool: OctCam an advanced camouflage application that shifts to mimic both the colours and the textures of the environment. By helping Snake blend into his surroundings, the OctoCam decieves his enemies and delivers him from danger--this is the new destination of stealth MGS4 also includes many new items which can be used to help Snake hide. Previously, he sought shelter in a Cardboard Box: this time, he'll utilize a variety of objects in the same manner as the trusty Box of the Crocodile Cap.Garbage cans, oil drums, and other objects will help Snake stay out of sight as he masters hiding on these war-torn streets.
