* CoolGuns: ''Lots''. Perhaps most notably, the use of the [=XM8=] assault rifle and its variants as a weapon of the Rat Patrol and the U.S. military, despite the fact that it'd been canceled prior to the game's development. Pure RuleOfCool in effect.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Sunny's eggs, as their condition represents (and sometimes {{foreshadow|ing}}s) the progression of the Snakes. For example, [[spoiler:"Act 3 -- Third Sun" has Sunny cracking one single yolk egg and one double yolk egg, alluding to third, non-twin brother Solidus Snake and his return.]]
** Additionally, she cooks eggs one-sided and uncovered as a type of fortune telling. [[spoiler:Throughout the plot, she constantly makes bad eggs as things keep getting worse for Snake; when things start looking up in the conclusion, however, she finally makes decent eggs.]]

* ContinuityPorn: The sheer number of {{continuity nod}}s and {{shout out}}s to past entries, both subtle and blatant, is absolutely ludicrous, reaching all the way back to the UsefulNotes/{{MSX2}} games. For example, Liquid's crashed Hind from the tower fight can be found in a corner.
