This time the controls have a new element that is known as CQC (Close Quarter Combat). For those who are very familiar with the gameplay from MGS 2, you won't have problems executing the CQC actions in no time. Now you'll be able to do more than just shoot the enemy in case you're in trouble; not only will you be able to strange or hold the enemy, but you can also make a swift throw that will knock him out with one blow, disarm and hold up a soldier, use him as a human shield and you can even squeeze information out of him and maybe kill him by slitting his throat with your knife. It may take a little while getting used to the nuances of CQC, but you'll feel just right like a great combatant as soon as you master it.
