Does that lady know you use her persona on Steam? Because no matter how HARD you try, it's impossible for that person to be THAT stupid... I don't think she has the time to behave like you do. Sad, really sad.

Those are used to mitigate the sound the clothing makes when moving and to prevent it from getting stuck on wires, fences, etc.

Are you still "compensating" in this game ?

It is most likely cosmatic, very much like his belt hanging behind him (no soldier in real life would let a belt hanging like that, it's basically asking for trouble).

The only explanation that I can think of is that Snake wants his pants to be closer to his body to avoid it to be tangled and Snake feels more comfortable this way. Much like real life where soldiers would sometimes add a piece of personal gear or two to make them feel comfortable on the field.

What real life soldier would have the ability to lift people, vehicles and containers into thin air?

pretty sure the belt hanging around him is a parachute harness or something. I don't know the term. he hooks it to the helicopter in case Pequod decides to do a barrel roll.

belt around his leg holds his pant leg up. it's like a rolled cuff but it doesn't bunch up the weight. also prevents loose fabric-flapping, and keeps the hems from moving up and down against the lips of your boots/grasss/etc when you crouch-walk. he doesn't have one on the right side because his sidearm holster does the same thing.

To be fair, it was the balloon that lift them into thin air. Snake has never lifted a vehicle or container into the thin air by his own might.

The belt hanging behind him is a symbol representing a devil's tail, like the shrapnel on his head representing a devil's horn.

Why do you concern about her? she's smart and she knows her metal gear stuff (unlike you) :x3:

He tied that string around his leg to remind him about something, but he forgot what it was

To remind him that Miller lost his left leg, maybe?

The string is definitely to counter-balance the weight and torque of his sidearm and holster on his pants, along with the knee brace on the opposite leg.

The tail is made of the same material as the bottom-part of the parachute harness he has on, but he doesn't seem to be wearing the upper part. I wonder who is responsible for this fashion statement.
