anyways on topic Plasma Snake sounds kinda cool at least to me hahahaha but I think it was more likely one final attempt to trick the player before the reveal of Raiden, when I first played MGS2 at first I was "there is something wrong with snake's voice" (now MGS2 was my first MGS game and I wasn't used to Hayter's voice, also I have the crappiest sense of hearing in the world) then catching a glimpse of Solid Snake in the elevator made me doubt who I was playing as.

so him being refered to as snake at the beggining is just in an effort to further trick the player into teh big reveal I was being dumb by worrying about spoilers to MGSV, but that was pointless for awhile wasn't it?
