It could have been so much simpler!

So I was thinking earlier that in MGS4 everything is run off nanomachines among other electrical devices. Snake had to fight in this battlefield and they finally beat it with a computer virus. But I thought of a way to do this a lot simpler: EMP. Tell people what really happened and use a friggin EMP and all that crap just goes away. Have you guys ever thought of something that would have been easier/simpler than what the game made you do?

(I searched and found nothing like this before you say anything. I will own up to fail if I messed up.)

maybe the EMP is ineffective against nanomachines?
that would be a good hand-wave.

Hearts of Iron demos could have been so much simpler...

But I think the Fallout 3 computer can handle problems like these pretty easily.
[input] Electromagnetic pulse to destroy robots? That makes too much sense [process] paradox detected. [question deleted] please try again

Soul caliber 4's combat system could have been so much simpiler if they gave the buttons their proper names, not in code. God that was so annoying...

People, I am getting sick of saying this: EMPs are not a "Magic bullet" against robots. Magnetic shielding exists. You would need a nuke to create a sizable EMP. You can't just pull an EMP out of your ass, no matter how many lazy writers say you can.

This is MGS. One man with a Stinger launcher (I think) defeated a robot capable of firing nukes from a rail gun. Besides, a localized one would still knock out the nanomachines the soldiers and guns use and then Snake, who does not need machines to fire a gun, could use the old Stinger launcher...again.
