Changes

In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Naked Snake, rechristened Big Boss, was tasked with trying to stop the FOX unit, which had recently become a terrorist cell and was planning to launch a nuke into the USSR, although it was later revealed that the terrorist leader, Gene, was in fact planning to launch the missile at America. The events of Metal Gear Solid 3 were also referenced, with Gene late in the game also implying that even Volgin's launching of the Davy Crockett was the result of manipulation by a "deviously cunning strategist" within the American government.

At one point in the game, during Act 2, however, Solid Snake is working with what is implied to be a Communist rebel group in South America.

In Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, terrorism was alluded to a few times, with MSF later being implied to have engaged in terrorism in the ending. A large part of the game also dealt with Big Boss coming to grips with his killing of The Boss back in Metal Gear Solid 3. In addition, one of the more infamous aspects of the game dealt with several of the main characters, in particular Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller, having hero worship towards Marxist terrorist and mass-murderer [[Che Guevara]]. Cipher later tried to frame MSF for a terrorist attack via an agent by launching a nuke at the East Coast. Unlike in most games of the series, however, the main villains are not a terrorist group, but rather a CIA paramilitary group working on a self-defense system, although it's leader, the station chief of Central America, is depicted as a madman.
