Notes

  • A different font is used in the title screen.
  • Codec icons now appear faster, with the arrows pointing up and down instead of left and right.
  • Konami jingle sounds a bit different.
  • The introductory cutscene plays without background music.
  • First-person view (FPV) zoom initiates from an extended distance.
  • Noticeable differences exist in the puddle and water textures within the Dock area.
  • Alterations are apparent in the walking sound and running animation of the genome soldiers.
  • The drum components of the encounter theme are different.
  • The process of a guard spawning becomes noticable as the elevator descends, accompanied by a distinct elevator sound. Additionally, the alarm light is slightly brighter, the elevator textures take on a bluish hue, and the alarm sound exhibits a delayed onset.
  • When trying to picking up an item, instead of the conventional red, a white font is displayed when an item reaches full capacity.
  • The occurrence of an error sound when attempting to use a ration at full capacity is not present.
  • Music no longer diminishes in volume upon entering the elevator.
  • The elevator cutscene music is completely different.
  • During a cutscene, the player is still allowed to pause the game.
  • The sound of the chaff grenade detonation is different, now fading gradually after the explosion rather than playing until the jamming effect subsides.
  • Stun grenades are labeled as "Stan" within the inventory.
  • Running guards are now immune to damage of the SOCOM.
  • Picking up a grenade while having no item equipped won't show the grenade after equipping them.
  • While the guard is examining Snake while he's in a box, the player won't be able to unequip the box unless the guard spots you.
  • After opening the inventory, the camera still follows Snake for a few frames instead of stopping immediately.
