How come David isn't called Solid...

[Z-Boy]

But Eli goes by the code name Liquid Snake, but is called Liquid on a daily basis instead of Snake himself, and David is suppose to be Solid Snake but gets called Snake on a daily basis?

I am sure it was done just so people aren't getting confused as they refer to everyone as Snake.

Yeah but in MGS3 Big Boss was referred to as Snake before he took on the code name Big Boss.

There was also no other Snake in that game.

I am pretty sure the only reason that BB was called Snake in that game is simply because fans were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about wanting to play Snake after MGS2. So that is how Kojima was able to do the game he wanted while also fullfilling fans expectations to a degree they would be satisfied with. Smae reason why he used Hayter for voice work in MGS3.

True, but I think it would've been cool imo if he was called Solid instead of Snake though.

Rising definitely ascended him past the level of coolest.

Yea, it was just an alias he used in MGS2 for awhile. It is also a reference to Escape from New York...Kurt Russell played a character in that movie who had an eye patch and his name was Snake Pliskin. Snake is kinda based from that character.

[Hazy_Maze_Cave]

hell yes he is. that movie rules.

feel like Venom is based on Rambo 3.

the reason "solid" is refferred to as snake and not solid is since Metal Gear (nes) he has the codename snake. liquid doesn't enter the story until Metal Gear Solid 1. so to avoid confusion calling them both snake liquid is just refferred to as liquid while snake keeps his codename. when raiden enters the game in MGS 2. he is originally called snake. but it is changed as his segment of the mission starts. where as snake uses the name Pliskin, which as we know is a nod to the escape from NY and LA films. also where the character of snake is influenced by.
