And one thing I never liked was how Snake returns to the Nomad after every chapter to fly somewhere else. I liked how in the old games, from the start, he never got to go back to base or met up with allies from his own organization. He and BB were mostly on their own, only with verbal support and each game was like one long adventure.

Yeah, being behind enemy lines made you really feel like a secret agent fighting against impossible odds and made the whole experience more cohesive. The loading times and 'down time' between missions bog things down a bit in 4 and V.

I didn't like the weapon shop in 4 either, but I guess it fit the theme of the game.

I didn't really mind that, but I guess that having to procure weapons on site fed into the above aspects. Buying weapons is also another thing that interrupts the flow of the game, although 3's Cure and camouflage systems did that too. As much as I love 3, it did probably start that trend of adding superfluous elements.
