Even though this isn't that much into computer gaming what about John Mullins from Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2? He kicked a lot of ass, and prevented nuke launches.

I love the image of Bill trying to escape on a wheelchair at 0:17: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2WmxRyUpt8

more great L4D screens here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrmwAG2rEtw

Can't remember the forum where most of these images were originally posted.

if bill wasn't on here i would leave the website immediatly and for grandma it would be awesome.
ps: johnson is a homo who was scared of grunts so he hid behind his men, order the chief around while he was relaxing, and got fucking captured everytime he was actually out in battle.

I chuckled at Heihachi. I was actually thinking of Wang from Tekken though.

Most people want Snake on here but he's not really that old. Most people on this list look like they're older than 65 or so. Old snake looked more like 45-50. Old but still had some good years left.

How is Big Boss not on there, he's old and would be an awesome grandfather. Here's how a conversation with him would go: "Grandpa grandpa, Timmy Timmyson made fun of me at school, he says I'm a buttpirate because I have an eyepatch like you." "Timmy Timmyson 4816 Valkner Boulevard, Mother: Midge, Father: Kenneth-deceased, I know about him, don't you worry son, I'll teach you everything I know about CQC, (cue Rocky music). Next day at school, while Timmy Timmyson is in the hallway I would dive tackle him, grab him, snap his neck, and then stuff him in the locker, problem solved. Cranky Kong would be awesome too, but, eh, Big Boss vs Cranky Kong, meh.

Old Snake? Too obvious?

@Turkykilla7
Snakes mind was in his 40s but his body was the age of like a 70 year old. Not 45-50. My dad's 50 and he looks 30 years younger than Old Snake.

Am I the only one who actually played MGS? With the exception of Xplosive59 everyone is saying "[snake] is like only 25 or something" (potpan0 you idiot). He was "born" in like 1971 or 72. Either you didn't pay attention to the story or your math skills are a little off.

WOW, I play L4D almost 30 hours a week and I had no idea Bill's last name was Overbeck?!?!?!?! I can guess that it was in the manual, but I got it off Steam. Odd.

Old people are always badass. When they drive, everything is fair game, my grandpa has even driven on the sidewalk. And in the movies, they whip those cocky yungun's onto the ground. They rock.
