Totally agree, actually that was the same thing I was b!t@#n about years ago when MGS3 was announced, the "Solid" part of the title. It always bugged me that the brand "Metal Gear" became "Metal Gear SOLID", since. For me the "Solid" part was associated for Solid Snake's saga starting from MGS1, and then the Big Boss saga should have stayed as Metal Gear alone.
Like...
Metal Gear Portable Ops
or
Metal Gear Peace Walker
or
Metal Gear Snake Eater.
Without the "Solid" looks more like a prequel to me
The 'Solid' is in reference to the transition to 3D graphics, not Solid Snake.
