There is a guy called Naked Snake who goes on a mission to stop his mentor, who turned out was actually good all along, and saved America, because of this he becomes the legendary solider big boss.

Big boss then makes this place called Outer Heaven, which isn't that important as it's literally just a base which houses a metal gear.

Oh, and Metal Gear is a huge gundamn that can launch nukes.

Outer heaven is then destroyed and shit happens.

Anyhow, sometime he falls into a coma and these scientists take dna and make three sons. Snake, Liquid and Solidus. He then wakes up and something happens which we will see in the new metal gear solid game.

Snake is then trained to be the second best solider ever, and takes down Big boss, Outer Heaven and a Metal Gear. Twice.

After that, Liquid gets a rag tag group of people and demands Big Bosses remains, or he'll blow the world up with another metal gear. Snake soon stops him, meets some scientist who made Metal Gear called Otocon, and his commanders Daughter. Meryl. He also learns that he has been injected with Foxdie a nanomachine that kills people with specific DNA, which also kills Liquid.

Then he retires, and is part of group called philanthropy to stop metal gears with otocon. Then jumps on a boat, oh and there is this guy called Ocelot who has a huge hard on for big boss and also his sons. Anyhow, he loses his arm in the first game, and takes liquid's after he dies, and somehow becomes liquid. Anyhow, he takes pictures of this metal gear and then liquid steals it and blows the boat up.

2 years later Raiden comes to do a mission and some fucked up shit happens here. Literally unexplainable. All you need to know is that he kills the president and snake isn't dead. Oh and there is this group called the patriots that are basically the unknown people who run the country, but they've been dead for 100 years.

Anyhow, after that Snake ages about 40 years, because he is a clone, and then has to do his final mission to take out Liquid Ocelot, which he does. There is also this thing called Foxdie which kills other people again, and will become uncontrollable and will soon kill the whole world so he goes into exile or some shit.

Oh, and after that Raidan becomes a Samurai and kills a republican.

It feel like this:
