It's insane how much of a jump and how ballsy of a game MGS2 was and I fucking loved everything about it.
The smoother and tighter gameplay with analog sticks to boot already made me fall in love with my biggest gripe of MGS1 being the dated controls more than anything.
Raiden is the star of the show this time around with the new codec crew of sorts. I was way more into codec discussions this time around especially with rose. Considering how troubled Raiden is with himself and how later revelations only further make you understand his troubled past and lack in identity which by the end is questioned is a perfect direction for the character.
Raidens possibly my favourite character in the series for multitude of other reasons and I can't wait to see him again in the future. How they use snake as some sort of teacher for him as well to pass on his teachings works so well thematically.
Kojima is insane for the last few portions of the game too, some of the most mindgame meta shit I've ever seen. I applaud what he done with this game bringing an insanely human message in a series about espionage and nuclear warfare. The trend still seems to continue into MGS2 and I love that.
There's so much more to talk about this game, it's handling of the flow of information, censorship, love, opinions and passing on through to the next generation but this should give some understanding of how I've felt.
One note : The dogtag having my name the coolest shit ever tho wtf man
