 Q. __Does the Language the game is played in matter?__
-A. That depends on what way you're playing. For all disc versions, unpatched (v1.00) playing on English is fastest. For digital SSD/HDD on a PS3 Japanese is fastest, due to the patch being pre applied to the US & EU copies. On Xbox One & Nvidia shield, we're not 100% sure, but it is most likely English. The reason being, Japanese loses a few seconds to some dialogue over English. For digital PS3, the faster loads due to no patch outweigh the time lost to the former.

The reason being, Japanese loses a few seconds to some dialogue over English. For digital PS3, the faster loads due to no patch outweigh the time lost to the former. Some runners who play English use a disc ripped to their SSD with the use of Custom Firmware (CFW) this is obviously faster than Japanese.
 Q. __What platform is the fastest?__
-A. Technically Android is the fastest version, but due to things such as input lag, most players tend to choose the HDC version for the PS3.
+A. Xbox Series X/S is the fastest platform. However the most popular way to run, by far, is PS3 HD.
-Q. __What is loading trick?__
+Q. __What is (LT) loading Trick?__
-A. Loading trick is a trick used to make the game load faster. If you play up to the torture scene and then die, and select exit you can play the game up to this point with significantly faster. Note, you must die **before** you exit the torture cell. This is used by the majority of the top runners.
+A. Loading Trick (commonly “LT”) is an abuse of the PS3’s internal cache which basically makes your loads faster. The setup for “full” LT, is to play from the beginning right til Snake is in the prison cell post torture. You then get a game over (either by opening the cell and running in front of Johnny or a FDP) exit back to the Title Screen & your loads will now be faster (cutscenes included!).
 Q. __What about The EZ Gun? The Patriot? Are infinite ammo items not banned?__
-A. On all difficulties besides Very Easy, the EZ Gun is banned. The reason for this is it is a rank restricting item. the patriot is not classed as a special weapon, it is therefore allowed.
+A. No. The Patriot is not considered a “Special Item”, the EZ Gun is, but on Very Easy it is given to the player automatically so it is allowed. However unlocking via doing a Markhaor Rank run on other difficulties is *not* allowed. The EZ gun is strictly permitted for VE.

+===== Operation Snake Eater Opening =====
+__Opening Areas__
+Much like the beginning of Virtuous Mission, the beginning two rooms are empty. Make your way through the first two unguarded areas. Once you near the cutscene trigger before Dremuchij North.
+__Dremuchij North__
+Right as you regain control of Snake, roll up-left and menu to your stun grenades. Continue moving towards the tree and once you reach it roll again, straight ahead. Then move swiftly around the wall taking care not to bump off the other geometry. Once clear of the first two guards, begin cooking a stun and hold it to silence your footsteps. Continue to go right, then as you pass the guard turn up-left towards the rooms exit.
+__Dolivodno__
+Begin moving straight ahead, curving left with the wall. In the centre of the small patch of grass, roll down & immediately roll again between the two trees. Pause for 0.5-1s and run onto the bridge and to the exit.
+__Rassvet (Night)__
+Run towards Sokolov’s room; but before heading in go straight ahead to the small crates and climb up to grab Cardboard Box A. Roll or drop off and head into the small room just past the door and immediately back out again to trigger meeting Eva. Ignore the save prompt.
