Off topic but: oddly enough, I don't think Meryl will be in the next game. I don't know why I think that....maybe because if the next MGS game is linked with the previous game, there would be no point in her being there since the storyline has nothing to do with her at all. I mean, it'd be great if she's gonna be in MGS3, but I don't know if it'll happen.

You could be right, but these are the reasons I think she would be in the next game "FOR SURE".
1.) Almost every single person asked Kojima why Meryl wasn't in Sons Of Liberty. (Kojima said he wanted to show the relationship between Snake and Otacon, thats why.) And I believe that relationship has been shown now. So after sooo many people asking Kojima why she wasn't there, she would be in the next game most probably.

2.) She wrote the book which can be read at the special option screen in Sons of Liberty, which means she would very much know what happened in the PLANT and TANKER chapter. As it shows, she keeps track on whats still happening with the person who changed her life.

3.) We have "kinda" a mission in the next sequal in which we'll have to save the baby of OLGA, and who better to do that job then Meryl. (Snake carrying a baby around?..) I mean, its something she would know more about then Solid Snake.

4.) Again, almost 99% of fans wants to know more about Solid Snake and Meryl (What happened between them, are they still togather, do they even email each other, are they still intrested in each other, will we see extra sparks between them if they are on screen togather) All these questions and more.

5.) In Substance she has made a semi appereance, shows that the KCEJ team must be working on her polygon image for the next sequal.

Ok back on topic....
I would really to see Raiden in the next sequal (Playable or non-playable), doesn't really matter. I just would like to see him around.
