The video embedded below was uploaded to YouTube by Александр Гольтяев. Watch, and you'll witness a ceremony at the Mother Base celebrating worldwide nuclear disarmament. You see, players can build nukes in Metal Gear Solid, provided they've progressed far enough and have the right materials. They're mainly used against other players, and they're quite sought after.

Theory has it that the below cutscene can only be triggered when there are no more nukes left in the game. That means every single player needs to dispose of their nukes. In other words: total nuclear disarmament.

So assuming the theories are true, it will take every single player in the world to agree that nuclear war is not the answer. Let's see how that works out.

Thanks, Kotaku.
