[spoiler]Master: It's obivous that Meryl is not herself, Snake aren't you a master of CQB (close quaters battle)? Subdue her without using your weapon, that's all.[spoiler]

That should clear it up.

There was confusion about Snake knowing CQC?

Snake probably learned CQC/CQB from Big Boss.

That's kind of impossible for him to have learned it from Big Boss. Don't you think it would make sense that being in such a modern if not futuristic sect of the government that they'd have taught him it? It's not like they'd send an operative like him to do the jobs he does without him knowing how to fight...

There's no confusion mate. He would most certainly have learned it during his field training sometime. Older restricted gameplay doesn't mean he didn't know how to use CQC.

I don't think it's that impossible. Wasn't BB Snake's commanding officer in MG1?
(I could be wrong, I've never played it, only read about it)

Solid Snake has ALWAYS known CQC. The only reason we never saw it in some past games was due to gameplay restrictions.

Snake was probably borned knowing it.

There's already a topic on this, if not a million.

The simple punches and kicks you see in MGS1 and MGS2 counts for Snake's simple form of CQC. We've never seen the more advanced moves before MGS3 due to it not being considered as a gameplay element before, or otherwise platform restrictions. That's why Snake's CQC skills are brought out of the shell in MGS4. It's a new gameplay element and the platform allows it.

Young Snake is right. There is already a topic for this.

* Who tought solid snake CQC *

CQC and CQB are the same thing. The only difference is that CQC in the MGS universe is a little altered in order to seem more spectacular for gameplay purposes or when you see it.

Everything is explained in the other topic.
