* Something I've always wondered about the Patriots is what would happen if the civilian population ever found out about them. I'm assuming for the great majority of the American population it would come as a surprise that a secret society of Military and Corporate Interests controlled the United States government making all of their civil rights guaranteed under the law one big fraud. Most people probably don't believe in conspiracies, but they at least acknowledge the existence of minor cases of corruption which are just flaws in the men running the system rather than a flaw in the system itself. The more cynical that already believed that the corporations had long ago bought out the the government with their lobbying in the United States Senate and already controlled the flow of information probably wouldn't be too surprised they would only now have a name to place on those conspiracies. What do you think would happen to the future of the United States after the Patriots were found out?

** Interesting question: personally I think it would be similar somewhat to [[The Matrix]]; People of establishment who are so dependent on what they perceive to be the US way of life such as Lawyers would probably just announce the evidence as fake or collaborate because they ''need'' the way of life they've become accustomed to; those who believe in the democracy and freedom the US represents would also probably ignore it given the realization they are living in a dictatorship. Only the young would (likely) rebel and they would of course fail; SOP would deactivate all weapons except civilian firearms which would give the US military a simple choice: allow the crazed civilians to run around with the only weapons available, join them and have all your weapons and equipment deactivate or continue to enforce the Patriots rule by suppressing the rebellion - some choice huh?

* This is more so about development of the series, but under the [[Creator Backlash]] page it said that head creator of the series didn't want to make any more Metal Gear games after [[Metal Gear Solid]]. If that's the case, then why did he end that game and it's sequel on sequel bait and essentially make the fans demand more?

** He apparently just thought the stinger to the first game was a neat twist, and the second game was less a [[Sequel Hook]] and more of a belligerent, "You like twists? I got your twist right here." There's a reason that, of all [[MGS 2]]'s bits that [[MGS 4]] went out of its way to explain, the "They've been dead for 100 years," line was just brushed off with, "Yeah, that was a load of bull, ignore it."
