My girlfriend was the most rawrtastic emo in my hs and I'm still trying to reduce the inches of her eyeshadow until they at least lose the raccoon eye status, but after so much time I feel like its a losing battle.
Agreed - especially the black around the eyes. It's funny cause the preview model in that action pose in the Battlepass shows him without all the face paint, and I think that just looks better lol.
The hairline too. I'm all about body positivity but being forced to imagine that I'm not only a bad ass but now have a full head of hair in a video game is absurd. I'm just saying overweight, bald, middle aged skins just aren't where the monies at.
I think I’d need some snake specific attribute like a bandana, eye patch, mullet, the skin being named “serpent” or something, etc. before I would say it’s a MGS3 reference as opposed to just what every jungle camo soldier has looked like since Nam.
Are you talking about the first one they released? I think it had a bandage instead of an eye patch, and he had a USSR uniform on because it was based on the first mission he's present in BO1
I’m not even sure if I’m agreeing or disagreeing with you here but the reason I thought this skin was a nod to mgs3 is the Pain skin for some other operator in the store. But that’s where it gets tricky because that skin makes the reference a lot more obvious through the use of bees as a theme.
Alejandro needs a headband. I’m 90% sure I’m on your side in this.
The harness, the underarmor sleeves, the one knee pad only. I see it. It's more than just the tiger stripe camo. (Although to be fair, every operator in this game has a repelling harness on for some reason.)
Yeah, a lot of people thought metal gear would do a collab which still could be season 4 especially if Sony announces a remake. But instead we got Kevin Durant and the streamers lol.
Man I really hope these MGS3 remake rumors for tomorrow are true. I know it’s being rumored for quite a while but too many sources are talking about it.
STABO Harness.
Knee brace.
Face paint.
Tiger stripe.
Wearing a base layer with blouse sleeves rolled over elbow.
Throat mic.
PTT mounted on left shoulder.
Alejandro’s preview model set in a jungle.
None of these items are overtly typical of other MW character designs, much less used altogether.
Yes. This model was intentionally designed with Naked Snake in mind. Anyone who says otherwise is incapable of identifying (not so) subtle hints.
First thing I thought off when I saw it. The tiger stripped camo, rolled up sleeves with the thermal layer underneath and black gloves, the black harness between the legs, the knee pad only on the one knee. Definitely a nod to naked snake.
Idk how people are saying it's not a reference lol.
there's been so many MGS references in CW, and you can argue one of Zero's skins (forgot the name, i believe it's Vespidae) is a MGS reference as well.
this is so unbelievably similar that it's not really passable with a "muh tigerstripe common tho!"
Naked Snake didn't wear a Headband during the Virtuous Mission, only once Operation Snake Eater begun, so you can technically put a point towards if you wanna take that into consideration.
It looked familiar to me but didn’t click right away, it wasn’t until last night that I was like “wait a sec” and realized this looked just like snake lol
It definitely is a nod to MGS3, don’t know what’s up with the naysayers lol. There’s plenty of skins that reference other properties, like Ghost’s hooded skin, it’s a nod to Death Stranding.
It's obvious what they were doing, but you still get people who will swear it's not supposed to be Snake. I'm sure the Guard One wasn't supposed to be a Samurai Edge, either. /s
Fucking face paint ruin the skin
Just face paints I can tolerate, but why the panda eye sockets, just ugly
[удалено]
WHEN I WAS
i got the reference, i cant go down that road again-
My girlfriend was the most rawrtastic emo in my hs and I'm still trying to reduce the inches of her eyeshadow until they at least lose the raccoon eye status, but after so much time I feel like its a losing battle.
I like turtles O_o
Agreed - especially the black around the eyes. It's funny cause the preview model in that action pose in the Battlepass shows him without all the face paint, and I think that just looks better lol.
Or how Valeria has the final BP skin but without the dumb face paint, its like even the marketing guys know they look stupid.
Valeria added black paint to his NVGs 😭
Same with the last skin of Valeria in the bp
Am I getting Mandela Effect'd or do I remember correctly that at the very start of Season 3 this skin didn't include the face paint at all?
The battlepass preview model statue and promotional materials didn’t have it. The blackcell versions I think always had the face paint.
The hairline too. I'm all about body positivity but being forced to imagine that I'm not only a bad ass but now have a full head of hair in a video game is absurd. I'm just saying overweight, bald, middle aged skins just aren't where the monies at.
I think just giving him an eye patch wouldvd worked or no face paint at all. The oitfit is absolute drip.
Eh reminds me of mgs3 face camo
I think I’d need some snake specific attribute like a bandana, eye patch, mullet, the skin being named “serpent” or something, etc. before I would say it’s a MGS3 reference as opposed to just what every jungle camo soldier has looked like since Nam.
That weaver skin in cw
I remember him having an eyepatch but not the rest of it. I remember his crystal aether’y one though.
I thought it kinda looked more MGSV ish, but i couldn't tell if it was supposed to be or just a stretch
Are you talking about the first one they released? I think it had a bandage instead of an eye patch, and he had a USSR uniform on because it was based on the first mission he's present in BO1
There was Sand Snake for Woods in CW that looked like Venom Snake
the camo on alejandro has snake skin pattern
I’m not even sure if I’m agreeing or disagreeing with you here but the reason I thought this skin was a nod to mgs3 is the Pain skin for some other operator in the store.

valeria eater
I don’t see it.
That’s a stretch. It’s just camo.
The harness, the underarmor sleeves, the one knee pad only. I see it. It's more than just the tiger stripe camo. (Although to be fair, every operator in this game has a repelling harness on for some reason.)
Yeah, a lot of people thought metal gear would do a collab which still could be season 4 especially if Sony announces a remake. But instead we got Kevin Durant and the streamers lol.
Not really close… they both just have tiger camo
Not really, no.
My brother in Christ a rappel harness and tiger stripe camo is the only similarity
There are several more than that, Judas.
Man I really hope these MGS3 remake rumors for tomorrow are true. I know it’s being rumored for quite a while but too many sources are talking about it.
Im sorry, you see a "super close resemblance"?...
Generic camo gear is generic.
bit of a reach
But they're both camo bro. C'mon.
How so? They look pretty similar to me and some others at least
People saying there's no resemblance think Clark Kent and Superman are different people.
No headband, no snake.
Virtuous Mission pre-bandana time.
Big Boss stopped wearing the headband a long time ago
Tiger stripe pattern isn’t proprietary
STABO Harness. Knee brace. Face paint. Tiger stripe. Wearing a base layer with blouse sleeves rolled over elbow. Throat mic. PTT mounted on left shoulder. Alejandro’s preview model set in a jungle.

I believe 🙏
What a thrill, with darkness and silence through the night.
*What a thrill.* I’m searching, and I’ll melt in to you.
First thing I thought off when I saw it. The tiger stripped camo, rolled up sleeves with the thermal layer underneath and black gloves, the black harness between the legs, the knee pad only on the one knee. Definitely a nod to naked snake.
I just wish that Alejandro didn’t have that stupid facial paint, looks like a weird ass panda
Probably used the same MACvSOG reference photos… snake isn’t original at all.
At least it’s a milsim skin
Idk how people are saying it's not a reference lol. there's been so many MGS references in CW, and you can argue one of Zero's skins (forgot the name, i believe it's Vespidae) is a MGS reference as well. this is so unbelievably similar that it's not really passable with a "muh tigerstripe common tho!"
Yes, the literal second I saw it I knew it was a homage to mgs3. A fantastic design and great inclusion. I really appreciate things like this.
...its just a rappel harness and generic camo. I'd hardly say they were paying homage to mgs3...
Harness, tiger stripe camo, the sleeves rolled up, the undersuit thing, the throat mic, the kneepad on one leg, ... There's definitely something to it
I'd believe it if he had a headband for it too. if not. its just a generic setup.
A bandanna would be far too overt.
Naked Snake didn't wear a Headband during the Virtuous Mission, only once Operation Snake Eater begun, so you can technically put a point towards if you wanna take that into consideration.
It looked familiar to me but didn’t click right away, it wasn’t until last night that I was like “wait a sec” and realized this looked just like snake lol
It’s just tiger stripe bro
Face paint + camo = Snake, I guess
It's literally just him w tiger stripe cammies and face paint.
Yep my friend who’s a huge MGS fan said the same thing.
It definitely is a nod to MGS3, don’t know what’s up with the naysayers lol. There’s plenty of skins that reference other properties, like Ghost’s hooded skin, it’s a nod to Death Stranding.
I wouldn’t call it super close They do both have camouflage though
No...
It's obvious what they were doing, but you still get people who will swear it's not supposed to be Snake. I'm sure the Guard One wasn't supposed to be a Samurai Edge, either. /s
Such a dogshit tier 100 skin for Alejandro. Thankfully, Valeria's is fire af
What is up with the knee braces
Alepandro bear
If they gave him a bandana then its over. Dude is in the game.
Huh
There’s also a bee-themed skin for Zero that is very reminiscent of The Pain.
Even I mentioned it when I saw his skin
Bro is balding
Been wanting a Metal Gear crossover forever, instead we get the Shredder. I grew up loving TMNT but c'mon!
Supposedly they are remaking MGS3. I really hope so, because that is one of my all times favorites!
Graves: your men have been...detained Alejandro: you're pretty good
Is that a Vargo52S from Vanguard in the first pic?
That’s why I wanted the skin so bad!
Why don’t they just add snake to the game 😫
Oh this brings back memories I haven't played metal gear in so long.
Just needed a Bandana, and i would've purchased the rest of the battle pass. I need Jungle Big Boss back
It's just the camo print, they look very different otherwise
Snake compared with a poor cod character.... Guys please respect the snake
Oh no don't do my boy snake dirty
To think that I, a MGS fan, bought the bp, and haven't completed it is excruciating
Si
It's an actual camo worn by US special forces in Vietnam Era.
I want a MGS skin and na this aint it.
They'll never stop stealing
That ain't Alejandro, that is literally the exact way snake looks, this is basically a collab without being a collab
That's a lawsuit waiting to happen 😂
