You will be remembered and loved forever my friend. You are indeed the Son of Liberty, for you are free now. Rest In Peace John Cygan.
We had the same birthday, he will be missed.
🙁
Damn the Patroits!
Took me multiple playthroughs to appreciate Solidus. That and his quotes as well as the final boss fight at top of the federal hall was just amazing.
We had this article last year about Solidus’s Best Quotes.
RIP.

Damn, solidus was my favorite character in all the MG series, John was amazing when he was voicing him.
He will be missed, i hope if they remake mgs2, they re used his old voice recording or use those from the digital graphic novel.
Oh damn :(…. RIP John. He was amazing. I wish we had seen more of Solidus in the games.
He was such an excellent VA in MGS and KOTOR and he was my number one choice for the voice of Big Boss in MGSV before they picked Sutherland.
Well, dang, all I can remember are his awesome lines, sucks. Hope he rests in peace, he did an excellent job with some of Kojima’s best lines 🙂

My favourite snake of them all. A shame to have only been used in one full game, his voice brought the character to life and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.

Always loved his performance as Solidus Snake, I know Liquid Snake is more wildly recognized as an iconic voice in the franchise, but to me, and many others Solidus was every bit as iconic and memorable. And he has one of the best lines in the game.
“Jack, those days during the civil war were as real as they come, split between life and death. You ran from it! And now you’ve been led back to war by something less than real.”
That entire speech really. But that part is so perfectly analogous of MGS2.
Rest in Peace.
MGS2 is still a masterpiece even after 16 years. It is timeless. The things Kojima wrote was years ahead of the times as always.
Foxdie?!
Great voice actor, added to Solidus’ character.
RIP

RIP The voice of a legendary character, the best Metal Gear villain to date. May his soul reunite with the Boss in Heaven.
When I saw the title, I was like “Damn”. I love Solidus. I think he’s a powerful antagonist and perfect voice acting really helped building the character.
May his soul rest in peace. He will remain in our hearts forever.
