Guns of the Patriots is set in 2014, nine years after the events of the original Metal
Gear Solid and five years after Sons of Liberty. The world's economy relies on
continuous war, fought by PMCs, which outnumber government military forces. PMC
soldiers are equipped with nanomachines that enhance their abilities on the
battlefield. The control network created through these nanomachines is called Sons
of the Patriots (SOP), and Liquid Ocelot is preparing to hijack the system.
Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
The first couple of minutes there’s no music just
sounds of the terrain around solid snake. As the

The music starts to get settling, and calm. Whilst
the voice of David Hayter, the voice actor is doing
a scene from the script. Probably in a small
confined room with no sound, so they don’t pick
up any static noises.
