WHAT DOES SOLID SNAKE FIGHT FOR?

Snake says the only time he feels truy alive is when he is cheatting death, but what does he fight for? Snake told Otacon: "If we make it trough this, I will tell you!" But he never said...

Meryl said people are the only winners in war, but they are not!!! In fact, inocent people are the great losers in every war.

So, what does snake fight "really" for?

What do you think?

I think you mistook this selling forum for unrelated topics.

I can answer this one. Though he never tells Otakon to his face why he fights it is painfully obvious. You see there are ppl (like myself) who aren't EVIL, but don't know how to live without some sort of conflict or obstacle in which they must overcome... usually getting caught up in other pp's dilemmas "just because". That is more or less a subconcious life condition of knowing your only purpose in life is to fight. Snake is a good person on the inside, he wouldn't kill someone in cold blood, try to take over the world or anything like that, BUT... no matter how much he needs peace from time to time, his spirit is one of "Intensity Personified" (what I tell eveyone I am) and due to that, Intensity needs an outlet otherwise you would go mad. In the begining Snake was a Force Marine Recon, got recrutied into Fox Hound and was green as far as these missions go. Then he later was called by Campbell to go into Zanzibar Land to put an end to what wasn't completed in Outer Heaven. He does this, even supossedly killing his own father. So at this point one could argue that it was apart of his "orders", but in truth it's the kind of work he was born for. However, he's human and he needed to rest... thus he starts to hate the fact that he's a soldier, not in the military sense but in the spiritual sense. That for him his destiny lies with conflict/War etc. He finds peace in Alaska, tries to forget but in reality is secretly pleased when Campbell shows up about the Shadow Moses incident. Finally! HE IS NEEDED AGAIN! Though he probably hates feeling this way, he knows silently it's the only way for him. So he goes, kicks some ass and saves the day again. By the time MGS II happens he's now fully realized that he is what he is, (intensity personified as a soldier) and decides to this time fight on his own terms separate from the government having any involvement with him... but he's taken the time to actually keep up with the world's events, and still has his skills honed? Why? Well the reason he fights, (that was the question) is because it's all he can do. It's what he is. Some ppl who have this problem (not neccessarily in a war scenario) understood this right from the start, and thus is the reason I cand identify with Kojima's messed up but up standing protagonist.

I hope this helps.

He fights for freedom, wherever there's trouble-
Solid Snake is there!
SOLID SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE
A real American hero...
Solid Snake is there!

Meryl....

Solid Snake fights for the benefit of mankind. Remember the name of his and Otacon's organization is Philanthropy.

It is true that perhaps all Snake knows is how to fight but as of MGS2 he has finally found something he believes is truly worth fighting for - ridding earth of Metal Gears. And perhaps to a lesser extent chasing around Liquid.

I sure do hate this quote from MGS2: "I LIVE ON THROUGH THIS ARM!!"

Nah, he fights for gay rights.

He fights...for da right...to parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtyyyyy !!! buttrock buttrock buttrock

Snake fights to teach all us gamers that there is much to learn about conflict and love. That we should fight to keep peace on earth and enjoy our games.

Fights for teh romz1!

still not convienced...

Gray Fox told him: We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at. But at least I always fought... for what I believed in.

So, what does snake believe in?

He cant fight for something he doesnt believe in!!!

fights for PS2 console sales.

He fights cuz he likes to shoot people angry

Come on people, this is serious!!!

Snake doesnt kill for sport

He is not real. He is only videogame character.

That, and in MGS and MG:GB, he was captured by the government and forced to fight. They pumped his body full of nano-machines so, presumably, they could kill him at any moment.

He fights, cause that is what he was genetically engineered to do. He is only alive when he is doing what he was created to do.

The truth is, he fights for Hideo Kojima's wallet.

"You want the TRUTH! You can't handle the TRUTH!"

He fights because his annoying-ass brother is driving him nuts.

fights for stealth camoflage, and the chance to take pics of Meryl in her skimmies.

That's sig worthy.

PRETTY MUCH THE SAME LIKE MANY OF US. I can think of that in a couple of ways:

1. I'm a fictional video game character.
2. I kill.
3. I kill for the government.
4. I kill for women named Meryll.
5. I have a crazy clone brother.

Oh, back to the topic:

He kills for the thrill of killing, and the thrill of dancing, too.

He fights for Konami's Evil Regime.
