There are many names we could have chosen for this entry: Sarah Kerrigan pre-infestation, Sam Fisher, the legendary Captain Price from Call of Duty, but if there is one name in gaming inescapably synonymous with the master special forces operator, it is Solid Snake.

A genius intellect fluent in six languages, the ‘man who makes the impossible possible’ boasts decades of field experience, granting him a situational awareness of the battlefield and a knowledge of firearms and weapons systems that is second to none.

As such, this is a man who can silently traverse any terrain, report accurately on what he sees, and then proceed to put a .50 calibre round right between the eyes of a target over a kilometre away.

Grimsdóttir provides the intel, but in combat someone needs to collect it, to be her eyes and ears, and if needed, lay down devastating long range firepower in support of the team, and that person is Snake.

Putting him behind a scope may seem a poor use of his abilities but he will know, better than anyone, that in combat information is life. As with Grim, the job is not a flashy one, but it is crucial.
