Tanker Chapter
Following the incident on Shadow Moses Island, Metal Gear's top-secret
technology was leaked into the black market through the machinations of Revolver Ocelot. As a result, countless variations
of Metal Gear have sprung up in every corner of the globe, making the weapon an increasingly common sight in the armed forces
of nuclear powers.
In the midst of all this, Solid Snake, now a member of the anti-Metal Gear group "Philanthropy",
has learned that a new prototype Metal Gear has been developed by the U.S. Marines and is being transported secretly. To find
out more about this prototype, getting support via the Codec from Otacon who is also a member of "Philanthropy," Snake must
infiltrate the transport as it makes its way down the Hudson River, New York, disguised as a tanker. However, just as Snake
is about to begin his mission, the tanker is seized by a mysterious armed group.
Plant Chapter
Two years have passed since the sinking of the tanker that Snake infiltrated.
The "Big Shell" - a huge offshore cleanup facility constructed off New York's coast. Now, this symbol of environmental preservation,
has been occupied by an armed group calling themselves "Sons of Liberty."
The President, who was on a tour to inspect
the facility at the time, has been taken hostage, and they have set large amounts of explosives, demanding a large sum of
money from the government in return for his release. If the explosives are detonated, the explosions will lead to the release
of huge amounts of chemical toxins into the sea, unleashing a massive environmental disaster which would be the worst in history.
Faced
with an unprecedented state of crisis, the government has called on the newly reformed FOXHOUND to handle the situation. FOXHOUND
agent Raiden must single-handedly infiltrate the "Big Shell" and carry out this sneaking mission as his first actual mission.
