In Metal Gear Solid 4, what are the difficulty differences (like damage, etc) and why does it say that Solid Normal is the Normal difficulty for North American and European gamers rather than everyone?

Best Answer

Metal Gear Solid games tend to have differences between the different difficulties, the ones i know for sure are:

  • Damage received by enemy weapons
  • AI "senses" (meaning the range of the simulated hearing and sight of enemies is different)
  • Number and sometimes location of guards
  • Number and location of consumibles (ammunition, some of the special items)
  • Initial ammo capacity and starting amount of ammunition for each weapon)
  • Depending on the game also the duration of a ledge grip is different

Finally, Solid Normal is specified as Normal for US and Europe because the difficulty on Asia is different than the one for US, specifically in Japan, Naked Normal would be Normal and Solid Normal would be considered Hard instead of normal.
