No mention of the Fulton should go without mentioning its being heavily featured in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phanto..., which is also a fantastic game.

The "In Popular Culture" section does bring it up. Although it is used differently than the real Fulton.

Peace Walker and Portable Ops, too, as I recall.

Did Portable Ops use the Fulton? I remember the soldier recruitment mechanic being dragging them back to either a hiding spot or the truck at which you started your mission.

I should put that back on my Vita. Peace Walker had a better story, but Portable Ops was more fun. IMO.

It's used, but not sure if it's used for recruitment:

> The player's squad in the online mode for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, as well as the expansion pack, Portable Ops Plus could use the Fulton system to escape their current mission

MGS3 too, it's how Naked Snake escapes Tselinoyarsk at the end of the Virtuous Mission (the prologue).
