Snake doesn't drive Metal Gears though, the whole purpose of his being is to destroy them..
Think about this though... what if he called in someone on the codec and that initiated something... He calls the colonel and confirms an airstrike maybe?
I think that would be great, seriously.
*Snake gets smash ball, codec convo initiates:*
Colonel: "Snake, what's the matter?"
Snake: "I need an air-strike. Seems a little tougher than I thought... I'm no hero..."
Colonel: "You haven't changed a bit, Snake. Air strike en route."
Snake: "Got it."
*Codec convo ends*
Player1: "****!!"
Player2: "DUDE WTF!!"
Player3: "OMG BS"
Player4: Awwww yeah.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
Oh, the possibilities..
