Remember that it was 1998 when we first hear Hayter as Snake and it is unavoidable that the voice actors' voices change after so many years - with or without a need from the story (e.g. the Old-Snake voice).

We should also take notice that Solid Snake and Big Boss, despite almost identical at the genetic level, are two individuals who grew up differently. I am not trying to judge if Hayter voiced better in one game but not the other, but if the character grew up differently, then having a different tone or manner of speaking is just natural. Besides, Big Boss has no accelerated aging and his change in voice should be much slower than Old Snake's.

On a little side track, I suggest you check out the Japanese MGS2 and get a taste of how Akio plays Solid and Solidus.
