Yes, I agree. Meryl was a terrific character and though she wasn't exactly "strong", she had to put up with many problems in her life, so she was wary and unsure.

Meryl, wasn't weak ..she was wreckless and had emotional troubles throughout the game..which gave her the spotlight as main female protagonist due to the amount of drama her backround provided to the game.

For example, remember the whole encounter in the ladies restroom were Snake meets her the second time..she dumps on Snake with all her troubles and Snake tells her to wash her face and get it together ..thus emphasizing the cold mentality of duty that makes his character what it is.I'm not saying that she was weak because, there are no weak characters in MGS..and if Meryl wasn't in MGS ..well MGS wouldn't be as good as it is without everyone that's in it.(Mei Ling, Nastasha,the mouse that ate the PAL key..etc..) i'm saying she's not the greatest..they(Konami) need to work on making her better/tougher(not too tough ) if she's to return. Which i think is inevitable.

Now if Meryl had some the same characteristics..... of say Sniperwolf for example then that would be a great character.Which i think would happen because of the incident Meryl had with Sniper Wolf in MGS1, yes if they did bring her back she would have to have a whole diffrent mind set, no more trying to prove herself or anything like that.If she would come back in MGS3 like that then yeah that would deffinately own..but if she came back exactly the same then..

[personally i thought Naomi and Sniper Wolfs backround stories were a bit more compelling.]

that bastard is a liar! jk

Well He Said That He Wont Be Directing The Game, But As Him Being The Vice President Of KCEJ, He'd Probably Put In A Little Bit Of His Hand. And He Did Say That He Will Do The Planning Of The Next MGS Game.!.!.

As For An Online Feature.....It Didn't Attract Me At All. I Dunno...But I'd Be More Happy To Have An Option To Finish The Game Without Getting Online As Well.!.

And As For Meryl Being A Playable Character......I Think She Would Most Probably Will Be.!. I Hope, Cause I Do Believe She Came In The Series As A Rookie But Its Been More Then 4 Years Now, I Am Sure She Is All Ready For Anything. After All She Is Snake's Girl.

kojima has said that his next game will deal with parenting. i'll play it.

he won't be doing anymore MGS. he's passing the series on like Sakaguchi is passing FF on to Matsuno after XI.
