A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

So I get that the whole terrorist thing was fake, but Solidus explains that it was a simulation of Shadow Moses to train the S3 program.

Then the Patriots explain something else.

Wtf is going on

Hurts my brain.

Solidus and Ocelot believed the S3 Plan to mean "Solid Snake Simulation". The purpose being to make soldiers to be like Snake. The S3 plan is actually much bigger in scope.

S3 actually stands for "Selection for Societal Sanity". It's purpose is manipulate people and world events. The Big Shell was just a test for the program, being a recreation of the Shadow Moses incident (Shadow Moses was chosen because of its extreme circumstances); the reasoning being that if Raiden could be manipulated into being Snake and be led to go through the Big Shell like it was Shadow Moses, then the program could handle any situation.

I would also like to add that Arsenal Gear is able to control the flow of internet information around the world. The game takes place in 2007, when media and the internet became even more accessible, causing a large increase in the value of internet manipulation and media control.

The game was made in 2002, so they may not be exact on the year as they are guessing of course.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

It's all nanobots.

Nope. The nanobots were retroactively applied to explain events throughout the series.
