I\'m not referring to the chase; that\'s \'\'part\'\' of why the boss itself is an anticlimax. The game up to that point and even the chase scene build up the Shagohod as a monstrous, unstoppable engine of destruction that can hurl tanks around like toys and drive straight through buildings. When you\'re actually fighting the machine as a boss rather than just holding it off during the chase (which isn\'t really a boss battle per se, since you can\'t do any meaningful damage to it during that scene), any hit to the augers with the RPG-7 immobilises the Shagohod completely. Since you can easily abuse the tac-reload to do this \'\'constantly\'\' (tac-reloading lets a skilled player consistently fire two rockets per second) the net result is a battle against a boss that\'s permanantly disabled.

This is pretty well-known, and the game itself will tell you to aim for the augers if you CALL during the boss battle. I think you might have just missed the part that made the whole thing a pushover, and that\\\'s why you didn\\\'t find it the anticlimax most players did.

Seriously, it\'s the player\'s ability to utterly annihilate a boss the entire game was building up to that \'\'finally\'\' made them get rid of tac-reloading in MGS 4. It\'s especially an anticlimax since it\'s one of the easiest battles in the game (barring stale food cheesing The Fear or skipping / thermal cheesing / Konami code cheesing / parrot cheesing / DOING ANYTHING to The End) sandwiched between two of the hardest.
