MGS and Kojima material.
The main goal of this document is explain the ending sequence in Metal Gear
Solid 2, while answering most of the common questions through the explanation of

This intends to be an analysis to clarify some matters and as an essay of the

played the game, there are huge spoilers everywhere. Feel free to contact me
regarding the contents of these documents, for improvements, corrections,

There is also a web version of this document available at (also the latest
version) http://junkerhq.net/CS/ with the dialog and links between it and this
