READ ON TO KNOW IT ALL!
There has been one main constant in the Metal Gear Universe: the name Snake. Unfortunately, sometimes it's really hard to keep track of all of the different Snakes. Add the uncomfortable amount of name changing that happens and it's almost like watching a soap opera where everyone changes their name every ten seconds.
In order to prepare for the onslaught of character names being dropped in the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, we've decided to give you a quick reference guide to the who's who in the Metal Gear universe.
