So I just beat the Shagohod and this is by far the least exciting actual Metal Gear fight imo. I never get the idea this thing is a real threat in the fight. I also don't get why the arena is so plain and boring. They had all these cool cutscenes of the Shagohod plowing through tanks and buildings but then when you fight him there's nothing there but a muddy field. Imo it would've been cooler to fight him in the Groznyj's main wing, making use of the terrain to get behind the Shagohod. Lost potential.

I also never really liked the escorting part and I never bother trying stealth because Eva has the reflexes of a pancake.
