It seems a little wierd that Hideo Kojima would stop using David Hayter as the voice for Big Boss when he was the voice of Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. I can understand that Big Boss was getting older and David Hayter can add age to Big Boss'/Snake's voice. Kojima could have used the man who did the voice of Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots, and just made him sound younger. Why go with a celebrity? I have two theories.

First theory is simple and quite stupid. Hideo Kojima saw that the main character of Splinter Cell was voiced by a celebrity and decided to hop on the  band wagon.

Second theory is a little more involved. We all heard that Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phatom Pain was going to be the last game Kojima does. Considering the way he operates with misdirection and misinformation (he does this so the fans are always guessing). I think what he is doing is giving Big Boss his own voice so David Hayter won't have to voice both characters if they meet in one place again. Say in Outer Heaven, and Zanzibar Land. I do believe that he is splitting the caracters in order to bring the series full circle with remakes of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

I strongly believe the second theory is the right one, and I want to hear your opinion on the matter. I have played Every, and I mean EVERY Metal Gear Solid game in existance. Do you agree with my theories? Disagree? Now that I think about it. Why not use the voice of Big Boss from Guns of The Patriots? Something doesn't add up.

Please, put your two cents in on the matter.
