He also learned he had largely been a pawn used by Defense secretary Jim Houseman, and part of his mission was to cover up the existence of REX, the rogue FOXHOUND and the genome army. He finally reached REX’s hanger, but unexpectedly, instead of deactivating the Gear, he *activated* it, having been tricked by “Miller” who was in fact Liquid Snake in disguise. Taking on the members of FOXHOUND in combat, as well as the genome army, Snake made his way through the base, and finally reached the Metal Gear after a long trial, including Meryl getting badly wounded and captured by Sniper Wolf. He also had an ongoing semi-alliance with a Cyborg Ninja-actually the cybernetically resurrected Grey Fox-who helped him but also craved one final fight with his former friend and rival. However, he was soon able to rescue other captives-Hal Emmerich, or Otacon, and Campbell’s “niece” (actually daughter) Meryl Silverburgh. His initial mission failed when FOXDIE killed both Donald Anderson and Kenneth Baker (although in the first case, it was actually Decoy Octopus, who was misleading Snake in order to get him to actually activate Metal Gear REX). In addition to Campbell and Naomi Hunter, he was given technical and moral support by Mei Ling, Natasha Romenko and Master Miller.However, he soon discovered that Campbell-and mission Doctor Naomi-hadn’t been telling him the whole truth-Snake had been given a virus by Naomi-FOXDIE-designed to target the members of the rogue Foxhound unit (and possibly Snake himself) and also Shadow Moses was the testing ground for a new model Metal Gear-Metal Gear REX. Getting his hair cut and dyed so he wouldn’t be mistaken for Liquid, Snake then infiltrated Shadow Moses from underwater. Snake’s main mission was to rescue two hostages-Darpa Chief Donald Anderson (The former SIGINT) and Kenneth Baker, ARMSTECH president. Although he was initially reluctant to accept the mission, the involvement of a rogue FOXHOUND unit, Big Boss’s remains being sought as the ransom and the fact that he resembled the FOXHOUND leader intriqued Snake-and likewise, Campbell revealed he’d release the ‘dirt’ on his files if he didn’t participate. The series continues on March 18 with Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, the standalone prequel to Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, will launch for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.When his brother Liquid took control of Shadow Moses island, colonel Campbell once against sought out Solid Snake, living in retirement in the Alaskan wilderness fairly close by, raising 50 huskies and participating in Sleigh races. SOLIDUS is not a real state but indicates the border between liquid and solid." So I borrowed from the physics terms ‘solidus/liquidus'. Obviously the next would be "gas" but Gas Snake would be like a human made of gas, and that's not a nice name. Since both solid & liquid express an actual natural state. "As I developed a sequel, a third snake was needed. Thus I brought about a ‘clone.' The struggle between SOLID and LIQUID. It's the Snake who can surpass the Snake. "Like for of all endings of the any series, the appearance of strongest enemy was a must in Metal Gear Solid. The reason I use Solid was to give opposite impression of soft image," he continued. "The reason why I didn't use any specific snake names like cobra, anaconda or viper was because the protagonist is the player. ![]() The use of the name "Snake" was "the most appropriate symbol of living thing that hides his presence and sneaks without any noise," wrote Kojima. In a series of Twitter comments, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima offered up answers to the mystery of why franchise protagonist Solid Snake is called Solid Snake - and apparently it isn't a reference to Escape from New York's S.D.
