Metal Gear Solid V: Ranking The Missions From Worst To Best

25. Retake The Platform (Episode 22)

Overview: Infiltrate the platform captured by the enemy PF, and eliminate their commander. They have taken Mother Base staff hostage. This mission is pretty much just another tutorial, a glorified demo for the game's online Forward Operating Base mode, whereby you can invade other players' bases, and of course, they can do the same to you. This mission is often triggered just when you're about to start episode 21, with Kaz begging you to return to Mother Base ASAP to take on the insurgents who have captured one of your platforms. This is an incredibly easy mission that gives the player permission to be extremely murderous, as the base is littered with soldiers who you can effortlessly put down short of getting caught off-guard around a tight corner. You'll take out the commander and be done with this one inside of two or three minutes. It's definitely cool to see a gunfight breaking out on Mother Base, but it's a shame the mission wasn't more involved and interesting. Just generic run-and-gun fare really.
