Metal Gear Solid 2 - Twilight Sniping 302/303 (Illucien Extended Mix)

This is a mix of both the in-game rip of Twilight Sniping and the album version: Ragitsu's Tracks 302 and 303. Plus some small additions by me.
Also available on Soundcloud: / illucien

This is so cool! kinda reminds me of Jetstream sam! My legs are broken!

[@Illucien_]

The RIPPER will see you NOW!!!

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Norihiko Hibino made an absolutely genius decision to mix espionage-themed techno and beach-vibes instruments. I am safely saying that I haven't heard this kind of sound anywhere else ever before or ever since MGS2.

[@theendofdays5311]

Am I the only one that think that this moment of the game captured a really strange and comforting feeling ? I mean, before the drama lol

[@whitedude877]

What a chance recommendation. Great thanks for this man. I've been listening to Twilight Sniping for over 20 years now, glad to see others' appreciation for it.

[@Illucien_]

I love all the music in every mgs and ds, but this song particularly stands out to me. Love it

[@captaincrunch6011]

Truth be said! It's one of the best tracks in the entire series in my opinion....

[@zombielegend8281]

Tell me about my all time favorites 🍻

[@stoner_pinky]

This will be playing in the background while playing Fortnite with the snake skin in 50 days…

[@Illucien_]

Raiden (femboy twink) skin when?

[@stoner_pinky]

@@Illucien_ actually raiden MGS4 skin when

[@Illucien_]

true, mgs4 or Revengeance. Too dope for Fortnite

[@Karl_SR]

Raiden: *starts breakdancing*

[@Illucien_]

@@Karl_SR wait. Starts breakdancing? The ripper will see you now??

[@artey6671]

The colouring reminds me of Snake's sprite (the remade one) in MG2.

[@dunkawunka2278]

Snake only drinks pepsi bro

[@Raiugabe]

I think of the MGS:3 Start Screen with these colors.

[@Solidsaw]

I dont know why, but this reminds me of any sunset in NY back in 2000.

[@PlebNC]

Weird. Reminds of a girl with chopsticks in her hair talking to a guy who has diarrhea then gets stabbed. No idea why.

[@labaluba]

i wonder why

[@nazamasa0079]

Bruh

[@axolotl09]

thats what this song was meant to represent

[@BurnMyDread2009]

Fun fact: during when emma is crossing the bridge you can use the D-mic on her listen to her complaining, then when reaching on the first shell, she question about raiden's hair. If you call her, raiden will tell her that his hair is real. Next when she lands on another shell while equipping the D-mic she would run and meet with Johnny behind. If you aim The D-mic on snake while he is on stand by he wonders if he could take emma on a date if he ask permission to Otacon (makes me wonder how snake and meryl broke up after MGS)

[@Illucien_]

Wow never knew this, game continues to amaze. Thanks for sharing

[@BurnMyDread2009]

@@Illucien_ you are most welcome! I been playing and beat mgs2 7x, looking its small detail if there more in it, and trying to get more dog tags lol

Snake is edp445

[@darkgreenrifleman4871]

I believe they had to high tail it after Shadow Moses and didn't get the weekend at the cabin to get booed up. 😢 Bittersweet. Love can, BUT SHOULDN'T bloom on a battle field ❤

[@vee-bee-a]

​@@darkgreenrifleman4871 So, that means Snake didn't even get a quickie? 💀

[@MrGezmoman]

This is some clean slick beats

[@Slump92]

Finally an extended version of this masterpiece!

[@senkodan]

perfection of a perfection. nice mix.

Thanks!

This is awesome

Die finden schwer dran gefallen was wir machen !

[@viktor_tikhonov]

Nice! Metal Gear Solid 2 best game in the world!

[@SlinkyDaBobbit]

Reminds me of the drones that kept me from completing the mission. 😢

[@Illucien_]

haha yeah that mission really doesn't give you a break from the drones

[@SnakeBotXm8]

pow pow pow sniper

FOR REAL

[@neringalukoseviciute1787]

I’m only 15, and I still think this game is better than modern AAA releases

[@drperky2135]

You're not wrong to think that

[@TECTONICSMASH]

No! That is NOT Solid Snake!

[@Illucien_]

[@ghamandlupinwalkingtours]

It's Pliskin, Iroquois Pliskin, Lieutenant Junior Grade

[@IAmLiterallyArthurMorgan]

i got the battle pass for solid snake and solid snake only

[@artophile7777]

Pretty cool art BUT NO! THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE !

[@SavingPrivateBob]

The art really sells this video. I keep clicking back on it. Bing AI seems the way to go

[@SavingPrivateBob]

You could do a video tutorial on how to create art using Bing AI by the way, if you're driven to

[@Illucien_]

Have considered it, I find it’s a mix of just trying to breakdown what I’m picturing into as much description as possible and also trail and error with what you end up getting, seeing what words change what etc

[@vodago]

Any idea who made the art? it's nice

[@Illucien_]

Used Bing AI as a base and worked from there myself

[@PARAMOUNTPHLOPYNATOR]

thats spectacular! @@Illucien_

[@blakjak069]

Where did you find this image? I'd love to have this...

[@Illucien_]

Made with AI, finished up by myself. I suppose I can put a link to it in the desc. Hope it works

[@YourGenericBrownGuy]

@@Illucien_ oh thats why snake has a pony tail poking through the bandana i was wondering why somebody would draw that

[@PARAMOUNTPHLOPYNATOR]

I DONT knOW WHAT PART OF THE GAME THIS WAS ,,, but this was awesome was it perhaps the vamp sniper fight ?

[@Singerisacrook]

It was sniper backup for emma crossing the struts alone. Then vamp came

[@Illucien_]

yep, covering emma while she crosses the struts.

[@aijint]

Why does Big Boss have a sword lol

[@KatoKirche]

SIGINT did say he'd have a better knife for him next time...

[@Illucien_]

It kinda makes sense, he says he fights Olga just before this and she gives him the katana

[@aijint]

@@Illucien_ You're talking about solid, I'm talking about big boss

[@Illucien_]

@@aijint right, this is solid in the art

[@aijint]

@@Illucien_ solid doesn't have a ponytail and doesn't wear camo

[@slimjim1002]

Could you do one for the Solidus Snake boss theme?

[@Illucien_]

Probably not, it’s pretty intense for me and I don’t know there’s that much I can do with it

[@EducationalLearning-i7l]

Why the hell does young John have a MSR?

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Bro, I'm back

[@Illucien_]

I’m so glad you enjoy it!

[@markmagnolia]

what was snake looking at?

[@Illucien_]

Raidens thicc femboy a$$ probably

[@chucanoris]

I hope the image in the background isnt ai

[@ArifRWinandar]

So much wrong with this picture... The music is from MGS2 but this Snake is from MGSV and the rifle is held weird and he's using a bad posture to snipe and what is that boat doing and why does Snake have a katana on his back?

[@ArifRWinandar]

Also if this Snake is supposed to be from MGSV it's also weird because he has the ponytail but not the robot arm

[@ArifRWinandar]

(Not to mention he has the ponytail AND the bandana, whereas in the game equipping the bandana will remove the ponytail)

[@lodziklocPL]

@@ArifRWinandar It is an AI-generated picture. The input you are giving is of course correct and valid, but I think you are way too emotionally invested into this.

[@thelegendofner0]

Music

[@cheefqueef6494]

cringe

[@YABUKIJOE2077]

The soundtrack is underwhelming compared to MGS1. It was more sinister and you could feel the tension and the atmosphere from start to finish. MGS2 music just felt like MP lobby music

[@lodziklocPL]

And this is exactly why I prefer it over MGS1 soundtrack when it comes to chilling. A rookie like Raiden would definitely benefit from relaxing music in the middle of his mission rather than something that forces you to fight your own emotions.
