History CallForward / MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater

** If the player goes to the effort of destroying the Hind helicopter at the relay station before going up the mountain, Naked Snake will [[BondOneLiner quip,]]"That takes care of the cremation," Solid Snake's line from the Hind-D fight in MGS1.

* One of the most well known, infamous call forwards happens if you kill either Ocelot or EVA in the game. As many know, when Naked Snake dies, the game over screen reads "Snake is Dead" and the letter stems disappear and reappear in other places to eventually form the phrase "Time Paradox" (because of Naked Snake's obvious importance in creating the other protagonists in the series). However, if you kill Ocelot or EVA, you get the "Ocelot/EVA is Dead" message, but instead of the normal contacts yelling out for Snake, you have the Colonel Roy Campbell (of [=MGS1=] and [=MGS4=]) saying something like "Snake, what have you done? You've changed the future! You've created a time paradox!" or "You created a time paradox. Snake, you can't go changing the future like that!"

* When you pick up the Sneaking Suit, call Sigint and he'll mention that the suit should be the official uniform for the FOX unit... which it obviously later does.

* Naked Snake and [[TheMovieBuff Para-Medic]] discuss ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''. Snake dismisses human cloning as 'sci-fi nonsense'.

* During a codec call with Para-Medic discussing James Bond films, Major Zero interjects and declares "I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of those movies."

* When Snake meets Granin, the inventor the of the Metal Gear series, it's shown that he's already drawn up blueprints for Metal Gear REX and plans to send it to his American friend Huey Emmerich as well as a model of RAY.

* During a codec call with [[HelloNurse Para-Medic]] discussing James Bond films, Major Zero interjects and declares "I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of those movies."

* Hmm...Raikov [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty does look like someone very familiar...]].
** Not only that, but at the beginning of the game, the game asks you if you liked Metal Gear Solid 1 or 2. If you choose 2, then you are given a mask that makes you look exactly like Raikov...and that one other dude. And your nickname is Jack, of all things, which is the same name of that dude from [=MGS2=] that the mask also resembles.
*** Kind of beneficial to get this, though, since it's probably the easiest (if not the only) way you can obtain this mask, but when you have to infiltrate Gronzjy Grad for the first time, once you steal Raikov's clothes, putting on that mask will completely fool every guard in the place (your contacts say that you're pretty much on your own about disguising your face).

* Hmm...Raikov [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty does look like someone very familiar...just can't put my finger on it]].

*** It's probably cluing in about [[spoiler:Eva's mission of getting the Philosphopher's Legacy]], but since [[spoiler:she got a fake version of the info she needed]], it's not that. What is it? Well, keep in mind that [[spoiler:she's in Metal Gear Solid 4 as "Big Mama", and she ends up being the surrogate mother for the other three Snakes (Solid, Liquid, and Solidus)]]. So, perhaps this was a VERY clever way of telling us that not only was Eva going to be a very important character in the series, but that Kojima was considering a fourth MGS game to begin with.

* In the HD edition, the achievement for a PacifistRun is called [[MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker Peace Walker]].

** It's tongue in cheek for this sort of Easter egg to be included for Ocelot, since everyone knows the role he takes in the entire series. But this to come up for Eva (instead of just one of your contacts berating you about letting her die as other MGS games might for those you can't let die) is a major clue that she would play a pivotal role in the course of the series, and Kojima probably meant to clue in players here that she might have a major role to play beyond just the third game.

** In the HD remaster, if you are able to kill Ocelot and see this Easter egg, you get a trophy titled "[[JustEatGilligan Problem Solved! Series Over!]]"

* Naked Snake says 'I've never been interested in anyone else's life,' inadvertently quoting his son from the first ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.
* The phrase, 'in the 21st century' means an awkward attempt at a RealLife version of this will occur.
* During a codec call with [[HelloNurse Para-Medic]] discussing James Bond films. Major Zero interjects and declares "I wouldn't be surprised if they made 20 more of those movies."

* The younger Snake echoes many of the things espoused by the elder Snake almost verbatim. For example, names on a battlefield, interest in other people's lives.
