    He wasn't in MGS3. Or MGS2 actually. He was only in 1,4 and PO. I haven't played PO, but MGS4 is only 9 years after MGS1, so he could easily still be doing his job.

    OMG, think. MGS3:PO takes action in 70's. Campbell is surely no older than 30. If it's that so, that means that Campbell is 50-60 years old in MGS4. If you want to know, how old is he in MGS2, just delete five hears.

    And he doesn't look like an old grandpa. Really.

    How the hell did Snake get so old in nine years? He went from being late 20s/early 30s to his 50s?
