Dress Snake As Altair, The Easy Way
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 5:30 PM on August 15, 2008
You finish Metal Gear Solid 4, you get access to a screen where you can enter passwords. Indeed, we've shown you some of these before! These are just like those. If you visit the extras menu, go to passwords and enter jmsotsynrn, you'll get the Type 17 pistol. Nice enough, but entering aottrykmyn will get you the Snake-dressed-as-Altair costume that left the internet scratching its head a few months back. It even matches his moustache!

Correct, with the code you need not get the Assassin's Emblem.

Better frame-rate than the butchered PS3 version of Assassin's Creed.

So wait... does this mean I dont have to get the Assassin's Emblem to get the costume?

I always thought people just kept inputing passwords and finding them all by them lonesome

Already got it, it would be nice if Konami added trophies to such an iconic PS3 game.

I think "Metal Gear Creed" sounds better. :P

Was wondering when the codes would start popping up, but I plan on getting it legit....once they add trophy support, that is. Got done getting the Fox emblem a while back and decide I simply won't strive for anything else if trophies are not retroactive.

I still don't get why they did it. It would have been more hilarious had they done something with Sam Fisher... but you've seen how he's doing these days.
Posted 5:33 PM 15/8/08
Sweet! I'm going to enter it in the morning.

I'm going to have to add those in. I read in the official strategy guide that we'll also be able to get a number of different items through passwords (these items were also listed)
Items such as.. the Patriot (want want want), and the Thor gun (some kind of special gun)
But I like the sun gun. hehe. though it is slow, its kinda cool how it knocks them out in one hit. Makes bosses a cinch too.

"Assassin's Solid" Is that what Altair gets when he eats too much bran?

Hate to say it, but that's trying just a bit too hard.

Goddammit, if I knew they were gonna do this I wouldn't have done that damn knife run.

Oh and small detail. Snake folds his left ring finger kind of simulating Altair's missing ring finger where the assassin's blade comes out. Just a funny detail when you where the costume.

I got all of the items, costumes, and masks. So none of these passwords are coming in to make me want to play the game through the 9th time. I want them to come up with more podcasts, music, and camos. I would rather the passwords give something different from weapons and items that can be all obtained from aquiring emblems and such. Kind of makes the emblems pointless. Sad, but still love the game.
If they come out with trophies I would totally beat the game again on Boss Extreme to obtain the Big Boss Emblem again.

only a noob would use cheat codes on MGS. cqc then knife is quite easy anyway and gets easier if you obtained stealth camo.

@AxelMinami: But doesn't "Metal Creed Solid" sound better than that?

Getting the Altair Costume the best way is still much fulfilling.
You should have unlocked the Stealth Camo first though.

OMG, why did my PS3 have a thermostat failure when I could now be inputting new passwords. DAMMIT. Only 2 more weeks of waiting for that sweet warranty fix and then I am so there.
@Refused: The way by which to obtain Altair's costume...has changed.

I would have gone with "Metal Gear's Creed" but hey, it's your blog!

Don't you get the costume just by not having any alerts through the playthrough of the game?

@Lord Thayer: Is there really any guarantee that trophies will come out for MGS4? You could end up waiting a long time! Trophies are part of the reason I abandoned my no kills playthrough. Well, trophies and Smash Bros...

@Paradyme: Well, less than 25 alerts along with 50 CQC grabs and 50 knife kills/attacks, IIRC. But yes, it's possible to get without the code.

Funny, I was reading about this on Famitsu last night, but didn't think to send it in as a tip or anything. I'll probably try these codes sometime, but I think the next time I play MGS4 will be when they update trophies.

Man this is bullshit. I send you guys the 1911 password as a tip and you publish nothing about it. Fuck it, your readers can look it up on their own.

@Burn1n9m4n: I'll assume you are talking about the code on GameFAQs. Whereas this code is not on GameFAQs.

Thank you for this Kotaku I tried to get this the hard way but it didn't work, I must have done it wrong.
