What I read on reddit stated the guide hinted at Ahab not being Big Boss. Aren't Ahab and Venom the same characters? We know there are three aliases in the game (Ahab, Venom, Punished), and possibly a fourth (Saladin). Haven't previous sources confirmed that you play as the character who wakes up from the hospital, and that the character is Venom/Big Boss? Or are you saying we switch from Ahab to Venom at some point in the game? I thought Yong Yea went over this months ago when he discussed the comments made by people who play tested the game, confirming the character is Big Boss. Am I remembering things wrong, or was that bogus info?

That guy is a certified bad-ass. In fact, when you think about it, most combat doctors are. Really cool people. Medic might have been a cool character if we'd gotten to know him in GZ, but we're not playing as him. According to reddit, we're playing as Medic who believes he's Big Boss.
