You and me both Terra. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] MGS3 had one of the best endings and at the same time, the most tragic and heartbreaking ending of all. As for his actions, its understandable why he did what he did. He was pretty much tricked by the government to kill The Boss, showing him that soldiers were nothing more but tools of the politicians. But after the events in Operation Snake Eater, he knew how soldiers think and how they felt, hence the quote by Gray Fox, "We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. I may have fought on the battlefield, but at least I fought for what I believed in" and therefore, Outer Heaven, where soldiers are respected as warriors, not as emotionless pieces of life that the government uses to clean up their mess. If it had not been for Big Boss, Snake would have been the type that always followed orders blindly, like what Big Boss did in the Virtuous Mission and Snake Eater (not too mention that Snake wouldn't exist). I can't ever consider Big Boss an enemy after playing MGS3, he's definetly an anti-hero as Terra put it.

And now that he's been confirmed for MGS4, I'm quite curious as to how he came back to life. Didn't Liquid say back in MGS1 that part of his demands was for Big Boss's body? If so, does that mean someone brought him back to life? I would say its the Patriots but their dead as Otacon put it...man, Kojima's going to blow my mind away with this game, I know it.
