* [[Cut Short]]: Just narrowly averted. Hideo Kojima originally planned to chronologically end the series on this game, even when [[The Stinger]] would actually set up room for a sequel (the hint that the Patriots were still out there, as well as their using fake identities). Thankfully, saner heads prevailed when it was decided that ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' be produced.

* [[Why Am I Ticking?]]: Calling Pliskin during the C4 hunt will reveal that Fatman placed on of Shell 2's C4s on a Gurlukovich soldier. Fatman also will invoke this trope on himself {{spoiler|by activating a large C4 package that he somehow placed underneath him during his final moments.}}

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Vamp and Fortune: Scott Dolph, an important figure in their lives, ended up killed allegedly by Solid Snake during the Tanker Incident, they attempted to get their commanding officer (and in the case of the latter, her husband), Colonel Jackson, out of prison after he was falsely accused of misappropriating funds from the military, but they never reopened their case before Jackson died in prison. Then they ended up framed for terrorist attacks that killed both their own allies and civilians alike, and then their unit is killed off by the military under the Patriots orders. The public also doesn't even believe them when they tried to prove their innocence due to being essentially brainwashed by the Patriots, thus leaving them with having to nuke New York City directly as revenge to them, and then it becomes apparent that every time they were used, even that one. Honestly, who can blame them for what they ended up doing?
