While this is all true, I think the only reason Snake was portrayed this way in MGS2 was because he wasn't the main playable protagonist. I think it's no coincidence that we never see such confidence and control when the story revolves around main playable character. So while he may have had a badass demeanor, it was only because he wasn't the one who had to deal with the tough decisions and internal conflict that most protagonist have to face.
I liked Naked Snake. But Snake in MGS2 was a grizzled veteran who was so cool and in control at all times, nothing he could not handle. Naked Snake never came across to me as capable![]()
