I like the current one. >.>
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.An in joke on Snake's smoking habit?.... Not for a work's image no.
Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!That's a horrible pic...and honestly, I'm not down with the "three Snakes" pic either, it's way too dark and jumbled. I'd say either a logo or the box art for the first game in the series is good enough.
Not a fan of the current or the suggestion.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyThat's in use on the first game's page(part of it any way). This one is the entire series page.
IMO let's find a good pic of Metal Gear Solid or Solid 2's Snake in a sneaking suit.
[1]◊ like this one.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Here's◊ a game cover art.
No cover artworks! The game-specific pages already have the ones for their corresponding games and it'll be wrong to have one cover represent the entire franchise in that case. The MGS 2 Solid Snake illustration is not that suitable for the page either, since it's from one specific game.
If my previously suggested image is not good enough, how about this one◊? It's from the MGS Peace Walker Memorial CD Box set, which had the soundtracks to MGS 3, MPO, MG Music Collection and MGS Peace Walker. Here's the full version◊.
Another suggestion is to just stick to the logo: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Metal_Gear_Series_logo_3494.gif

I went ahead and changed the image on the page again, so please leave feedback.
That was...very premature.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyYeah, that was a bit speedy, considering the thread's only been open for about 12 hours, and overnight for the US on a weekend day at that. The number of posters in this section of the forums is at it's lowest on the weekend.
Leaving the thread open for more input.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Should the image be reverted until we get to a decision? Should I put in on a Image Links thread?
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.I'd support pulling for now. I'm not a fan of it.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyThe current one or the cigarettes one?
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Sure, go ahead. I've never seen why anyone would complain about an Image Links page, even if they didn't find the content content especially great.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyTwo weeks later and nobody has any issues with the current image. Can we close this discussion now?
Meh, not a fan of the one now.
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Better than the "cigarettes box" image previously featured.
The current image looks like a corrupt jumble.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickHere◊ we go.
Did you mean that nobody besides you has supported the current image? Because that would be an accurate statement.

Infinite Tree: an experimental storyCall me boring, but personally I would go with just the title◊.
"We are not a stuffy encyclopedic wiki. We're a buttload more informal".
I'll be blunt, the current image on the Metal Gear page sucks! It's nothing more than a joke image that hardly represents the entire series. I originally changed it to a generic "Metal Gear" logo, but then some other user reverted my change and insisted on using something more visually appealing than a logo. So I decided to put an image from the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary album cover that shows three different incarnations of Snake (MGS1-3). Some other user reverted my change and then insisted on making a thread here.
This is the image I've uploaded.
