Some interesting points indeed.
Most shockingly, apparently they are *NOT* going to have David Hayter do the voice of Snake this time around. Would make sense since its really Big Boss. :P Though this isn't for 100% certain though, so hopefully David Hayter will make a return.
Also notice the name is just Snake, not Solid Snake. And if you think about it, none of the official material mentions "Solid Snake", just "Snake" (that I can remember anyway). Interesting. This further promots the "you aren't playing as THE Solid Snake" theory. :P
A younger Revolver Ocelot is in! Woo! I had a feeling about this one. :) Though I wish they would have kept the same voice actor...
And it looks like President Lyndon B. Johnson has speaking lines somewhere in the plot. :P

what if you play the original 'snake' (who would be the first member of the genome army, predecessor to the genome army, solid, liquid, solidus)
'snake' could either be big boss or a cloned son, it could even be solid
one thing is certain ... if there is <b>any</b> raiden, necks will be snapped and blood will rain from the sky

Big Boss is the original, Solid and Liquid and the rest were cloned from him.
Its quite obvious to anyone who pays attention that you're playing Big Boss in MGS3, its just that Kojima won't flat out admit it for some reason despite everybody knowing it. :P
"The Sorrow" will be the players own voice when he dies and gets the old MGS2 dead Raiden screen with Rose blubbing in the background.
Yeah, don't say it won't happen.

No, the main character is clearly Liquidus Snake, who you find out at the end is actually Revolver Ocelot's father.
Oh, and there will be a half hour long cutscene during which the truth behind the Vietnam War as a method for the Patriots to control America is revealed.
raiden is actually <i>one of the patriots!!!</i>
:o
and when snake dies, it should have the weebl guy saying SNAAAKE, sNAAAAKE!! oooh, IT"S A SNAKE.!!

Mushroom, mushroom!
Ok, I'll shut up now.
Actually Snake Eater picks up events where "External Gazer" left them off.
"Infiltrate... the enemy fortress... Outer Heaven!.. Destroy... the final weapon... Gurlugon!!!"
Exactly. We're fighting communists, not Charlie.
I MUST BREAK YOU.
I'm not sure if this is true, but it looks legit.

corpse still rests below a suspension bridge in Cherno Yarsuki. He
becomes an ally of Snake. Since he is a ghost, he does not speak outside
of the boss battle. He gives off a sense of intelligence and the feeling
of a
philosopher. His personality is dry and serious. He is unarmed and very
weak when it comes to combat. He can use his spiritual mental power to

All the more reasons to point to fake. :P
Bits of it are interesting though - anyone remember the abandoned character Oldman from MGS2? Sounds a bit like our ageing sniper from the above.
There's a page somewhere of alleged speech from the game, a quote from Revolver Ocelot. Nothing too thrilling though.
