ah zane yur talking about the same thing as us?

heres some stuff from operation mgs

where?
There has been no official statement about where the actual game takes place, except for that 2/3 will take place in jungles and caves, and 1/3 in a base or so. The very first Snake Eater teaser was a map, showing a part of Russia, with a snake infront of it. This can again be linked to the America/Soviet flag image mentioned above. Though to our knowledge, there are no Russian jungles. It seems the whole game is pretty much shrouded in mystery for now.

when?
The game will take place in the 1960s, which is about 40 years before the tanker incident in "Sons of Liberty", the years of the Cuban Revolution, the Vietnam and Cold War. The latter may actually play a bigger part than you may expect, since one of the images shown in the E3 trailer of the game, shows the main character, with on one side the American flag, and on the other the Soviet (communistic) flag. Inevitable that this all brings us to our next question.

who?
Seeing that the game takes place in the 60s, it's quite unlikely that our main character will be the hero of Shadow Moses, Solid Snake, for he wasn't even "born" back then. Though when asked who the main character really is, Mr. Hideo Kojima refuses to answer directly. In a recent IGN interview, Mr. Kojima replied that he'll leave it up to our imagination. Some may claim it really is Solid Snake, despite the anachronism, while others believe the main character will be Big Boss, the legendary soldier and "father" of the cloned Snakes. Though there is no official confirmation of either of these speculations so far, so we'll have to wait and see

wow!
It is now official that the game will not only use a completely new and improved engine, which they needed to develop te jungle areas, but also that it will support Dolby 5.1 surround sound. This should be extremely useful, since there will be no soliton radar system for you to use, so you'll need to rely on sound a lot. No game so far has ever supported Dolby 5.1, it's quite the technical "detail" to look forward to.

snake?
According to the Metal Gear Solid mission book (MGS1 strategy guide) it says that Big Boss was in a war in Congo, Africa in 1962 through 1968, but, was he in a jungle? We’ll have to wait on that. Solid Snake’s chances of being in MGS3 are close to none. Snake and the rest of Big Boss’s clones were born (estimated) in 1972. 10 years before the game takes place. Or could Kojima plan to have someone else completely different? Who knows? Only Kojima and his team know the truth.

stealth&survival
A major reason they couldn’t use MGS2’s game engine because everything in MGS2 was at a 90 degree angle and almost everything was indoor and not on land. In MGS3, there are tree’s, hills, and everything that isn’t at a 90 degree angle. The gaming engine is going to be excellent. When you make it inside the base, it will be much like MGS2 with 90 degree angles again. The techniques Snake uses are very….stealthy. Snake will have better techniques in MGS3. Another really cool technique, Snake will have a camouflage called the “bloody camouflage” where Snake can lay next to a dead body of the enemy and fool another enemy that he is really dead. That, and more are to be included in MGS3

AI's
The AI will be much improved. In previous MGS games, each solider would work by himself individually when a intruder is not found, now, the soldiers work in team of 4. In the jungle, it is nearly impossible to call on the radio for help so the 4 soldiers work as a team. Then, when you make it inside a base, it will be much like MGS2, in the sense that the guards will be able to quickly call for back-up again.
