Forum:Metal Gear Real?

This may seem strange to say, but me and a few MGS fan have noticed recent advancements in society and in technology that lead us to believe that MGS may not be as Fiction as we thought.

First, you have the actual Metal Gear. If anyone has seen the BigDog robot by Boston Dynamics, then you can see that the Robot has legs and joints that allow it to almost never fall over and to travel over almost any surface. Sure, BigDog was ment to carry equipment and suppies to soldiers, but how long will it be till we think about arming BigDog?

Second, the Human Genome Project. Human advancement has always been a goal for the Human race, how can we make ourselve better than what we are? By changing out Genes, we can certain things about ourselves, sure, not like into a super soldier or anything, but small changes. Nanomachines, although maybe not as technologically advanced as the ones in MGS are possible. Maintaing control over certain health related problems, such as Blood Pressure is a good enough reason to have nanomachines.

Third, Cloning. Cloning is a major part of the Metal Gear saga. Cloning allowed the creation of the Snakes, (Solid, Liquid, and Solidus), for which the the main story is wrapped around. The Genome Army in the MGS games is not to far off than real life. Many people have suggested we clone a soldier, (Big Boss) this could have many advantages, such as the need for soldiers would be gone. There are also many disadvantages, such as the threat of a selective virus, (FOXDIE).

Forth, the rising amouth of PMC's, Private Military Companies. Several Countries cannot affored a strong military to defend there country, so they look for PMC's to aid them. This makes the outlook that Old Snake talks about in MGS4 look that much more real.

Fifth, the control of information flow. The main plot of the Patriots in MGS2 to control the Digital Information Flow, to shape the lives of the people in the U.S. Information is censored and edited by the the governemt everyday, although small at times. The Truth is twisted in ways that please the editor, (The Patriots).

Although some may disagree, the future looks much like the one in MGS. Yes, not exactaly, (Fairly sure that Mantis won't be real...but again, my controller did move...). 16:12, January 4, 2010 (UTC)(Otaconharter)16:12, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
