Maybe you can? With enough research maybe.

".....Boss, what is this?"
"It's a self fulton, Kaz."
"Why the hell would you need to fulton yourself in the field, Boss? We have so many helicopters for you..."
"Because the players wanted it to happen, alright? Don't blame me for this..."
[Ocelot shows up]
"Dammit, Boss, you can't go around breaking the fourth wall like that! This is a serious game!"

I have to keep reminding myself that the game will not be 100% serious.

No there'd be more cutting social commentary in there.

You...you people realize that the real Fulton Recovery System is intended for self-use, right? And that was its only use in MGS3, as well as the mission extraction method in Peace Walker.

That's why I think it would be possible. Maybe if you use it near enemies they shoot it down?

It's in my library. Grayed out. Can't download. Not until the first.
Now I know why it's called the Phantom Pain.

This does sound pretty cool.  I've only played the original MGS on a demo disk way back in ancient times.  That and Rising, which wasn't exactly espionage action.  I don't think I ever bothered with stealth at all in that game.

I dunno though.  The multiplayer sounds really fun but I've been burned many times on similar promises.  Broken matchmaking, lack of players, glitch abuse and hacking, it always seems to go badly.

So I haven't preordered it.  I'm playing Ground Zeroes to see how I like the actual gameplay.  The guns feel really airy which I don't like, but I guess I'm not supposed to be doing a lot of shooting.

The worst part of Ground Zeroes besides, of course, the eight usable weapons is, in my opinion, the score penalty for kills.

It's the appropriate response. MGS is Tactical Stealth, emphasis upon stealth. Every Metal Gear game has penalized kills in one way or another. Even Rising gives score bonuses for its questionable non-lethal system.

At least they said Phantom Pain would penalize less for kills. Maybe it means the only real penalty is not getting the soldiers back at MB?

It's not like GZ penalizes for kills in anyway other than score. If you want to kill, you just have to accept that makes you uncool.
