Section 02. Introduction
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD is an upscale from the game that came out in 2010 on the PSP. Peace Walker HD is also only available on the NA and EU version of the game, the JP version came with the original Metal Gear Solid instead. Being a port of a PSP game there are a number of things that are different from the main Metal Gear Solid games. The two big ones are the controls are slightly different and the other is that the entire game is open ended and mission based. Earning the platinum trophy isn't difficult but will require dedication and a time commitment.
Section 2.1 - What you need to know
You will need to collect staff for your base with high ranking skills. They are paramount to earning your platinum as they allow the creation of gear and will perform combat in the
OUTER OPS. The most frustrating part of this is to get the highest ranking staff you'll need to complete some of the most difficult missions (5 red skulls), these missions will also be required to obtain the gear that's paramount to earning all S Ranks. Lastly you can play through most of the missions (
MAIN/EXTRA OPS) with up to 3 other people to gain camaraderie, however doing so will make the missions more difficult with each partner you bring in.
There are missions where you may be tasked to perform specific actions to advance either the plot or a special scene of the game. These missions allow you to play as a random recruit, but require you to be playing as
Snake to get the appropriate scene.
Snake Required Missions
WARNING: For you veterans out there who played a lot or even mastered this game on the PSP I have some bad news for you. You may have noticed the game will let you transfer data from your PSP; you cannot earn trophies on a file you started on your PSP. You can start a file on the PS3 and transfer it to the PSP, then transfer the file back and earn trophies for whatever actions you performed on the PSP. However there is a chance the game may not give you the trophies for your actions on the PSP, so I would advise to play the game in its entirety on the PS3.
Section 03. Walkthrough
The way this game is setup there is no real way to do a walkthrough. Once you clear all the
MAIN OPS there's only the
OUTER OPS and
EXTRA OPS. Both mission sets unlock as you progress through the
MAIN OPS and their own separate missions but unlike the
MAIN OPS they do not unlock in numerical order. The biggest problem is the game requiring you to go through some of the toughest fights with less than ideal gear.
Section 3.1 - MAIN OPS / Initial Playthrough
This will be going through the
MAIN OPS and whatever
EXTRA OPS you feel like doing. You'll have a few vehicle battles and fight the first incarnation of all the AI weapons and finish up the story. This is only the beginning of your road to the platinum. You can play most of the missions online to get a jump start on the trophy that requires gaining camaraderie.

Section 3.2 - EXTRA OPS / Force Build Up
This will be going through the
EXTRA OPS and bolstering your forces. You'll need to start working on the
EXTRA OPS and collecting talented staff members; you should also have strong enough staff to start working on the
OUTER OPS missions as well. This is where most of your time will be spent, grinding missions over and over to get staff and going through all the missions to unlock the gear you will need to make the S Rank on missions. Keep in mind you can work together with a partner through co-op to gain camaraderie as you do this.

Section 3.3 - MAIN/EXTRA OPS S-Rank
This will be the result of all the effort you put into the previous step. When you have the sufficient gear and skill you'll want to S-Rank all 32
MAIN OPS and all 128
EXTRA OPS. When this is over you'll be almost done and with most of the game behind you. You can also team up for these trophies to work towards your camaraderie score, just remember it will make the mission harder.

Section 3.4 - Online Trophies
Earning the few online trophies will not take long compared to the time you spent building your forces. The longest will just be earning 20,000 camaraderie if you have yet to do it while playing the missions.

Section 3.5 - Cleanup
If there's anything you missed or still need to accomplish now is the time to do it. By the time you earn an S-Rank in all the missions there isn't much to do and so any cleanup you may need to do should be short. If there's nothing to clean up then you'll have a new shiny platinum in your collection.
