I think it would be pretty lame if it was just a massive coincidence.

I think it's pretty lame being there regardless of the reason though, to be honest.

I'd just prefer it that it's there because he went nuts and cut himself up.

Yeah, I mean for one thing if it's something linked to LET project (for example a surgical scar [which it doesn't look like to me, I've got a massive surgical scar on my arm and a few on my back, they look nothing at all like the Snake scar]) then it's a wasted opportunity.

If it's a battle scar then that blows too, what the hell could cause a massive continuous scar like that?

Ritual scarification on the otherhand, very cool. Also in keeping with Big Boss' Warrior Therapist character.

But The Boss's scar came from a C-Section and God knows that's not how those look like most of the time.

On the other hand, considering his talk about how he died the day The Boss died in 4, Ima thinkin' that maybe he did it to feel closer to her, even if it was in pain. Ya know, true or not, I like the idea of it being from the LET thing more than the Warrior Poet/Therapist thing.

And just for the sake of Rampant Speculation, I wonder at the possibility of Big Boss and Ocelot getting in a fight after Ocelot found out who his mom was and Ocelot did that to him as revenge (as he couldn't kill his idol, nor let him go unpunished). But that's too out-there, more of a suggestion than a possibility really.

True, but supposedly Ocelot was born in the middle of a battlefield. Unless there was a mobile terminal to perform a C-section in or something, I think it's more than likely that the chance of excessive scarring is possible.

im gunna jump on the self inflicted bandwagon here. it seems like better Big Boss to have been losing grip and cutting himself out of grief and psychoness.........because iv done it myself.....when my ex left me, i was so gone i cut " I love you " into my stomach and sent a pic of it to her......not very nice, nor very sane, i know....but what can i say, i still love her to this day, even though i know now that she was a bitch who lied to me from the day we met......ok, getting off topic, ending this now


Sad.......so sad.......A host of sorrows......and you are one of them. I am The Sorrow. Like you, I too am filled with sadness. This world is one of sadness. Battle brings death, death brings sorrow. The living, may not hear them. Thier voices, may fall upon deaf ears. But make no mistake, the dead ARE NOT SILENT! Now you will know the sorrow of those whose lives you have ended.

Wow man, I'm not gonna lie, that's pretty deep to share with a bunch of people on a forum that you may not know too well. But in all honesty, I have to say my best advice would be not to be so hell bent over it, especially since you yourself said this:

TheSorrowsApprentice
 
i still love her to this day, even though i know now that she was a bitch who lied to me from the day we met
This would indicate to me automatically it wasn't meant to be. Beside man, there are too many chicks out there to worry about one that screwed you over so badly. Like I always say, fuck bitches.

thats the only way i can deal, is to be open about the situation. and yeah, i know it wasnt meant to be, but that doesnt mean that i still wont hurt over it for a very long time.....id told other girls before her that i loved them, but realizing after she left me, i didnt know what love was until i was with her. she was my first " true " love, and as much as i may want to, im never going to be able to forget her.

We will forsake our countries.
We will leave our motherlands behind us and become one with this earth
We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology.
We go where we're needed,
fighting not for country, not for government, but for ourselves.
We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed.
We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse
We are soldiers without borders,
our purpose defined by the era we live in.
We will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services.
If the times demand it,
we'll be revolutionaries,
criminals, terrorists.
And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell.
But what better place for us than this?
It's our only home. Our heaven and our hell.
This is Outer Heaven.

The scar is fake, it is similar to The Boss's, but it was used to store a jigsaw on himself in case he needed it for emergencies although the scar placement still serves as Big Bosses passion or obsession whatever you want to call it.

skip the story, much like MGS4 ruined MGS2, PW ruins the story of MGS3.

simple version:
Big Boss still can't get over the Boss, and cries to her nightly while wondering "was her will to read the new york times or the new york post?". Some lesbian chick named after an old movie also wonders these same things, and constructs a robot to find out. you guessed it, the robot is METAL GEAR. They fight. Big Boss, after capturing hundreds of "minding my own business" soldiers and forcing them to work in his kitchen to feed him, decides "oh i rly dont care" and throws away the headband he got from the boss, which he hadnt washed this entire time and left him with bandana hair and a nasty rash on his forehead. Lesbian chick decides maybe shes bi and goes with Big Boss. Oh and theres some double crossing loli bitch in there too

To answer your first bullet, if you decide to use the Jigsaw, you need to look at a mirror and then press the action button. You then need to steadily press the l and r buttons alternating between the two. As soon as you succeed in that mission while using the jigsaw, the post-mission conversation between Snake and Kaz will mention Snake requesting for a diamond-bladed Jigsaw the next time he ends up captured, while Kaz jokingly asks when "next time" will be. After coughing up due to the earlier electric torture, Kaz asks if the scar was "a copy of The Boss's wound." To which Snake confirms it, even remarking that it's gone as well. If you completed the level with Strangelove's ID Badge, the lines above end up cut.

The lines above?

Not so bad aslong he admitted it was done to imitate the boss, from Gally's post i thought it was just for the purpose of getting captured. not to pay homage to the boss

There has been a thread about this, but it hasn't been discussed in a while.

My best guess is that Big Boss did it to himself to honor The Boss, or the scars that for some reason slithered off The Boss like a Snake connected to him for some reason. Either way, I'm very interested in figuring out exactly what happened there. My God, I cannot wait for this game.
Apparently, a jigsaw was etched into his chest. Naked Snake used it to help him break out of the Torture Chamber in Main Ops.
