What was the deal with The Boss' space mission.
How involved was Otacon's grandfather with his research hinted at in Snake Eater.
Peace Walker deals with all of these things. I don't think the issue is hanging plot threads, though. Certainly you don't need loose ends to make a sequel, and it usually damages the overall quality of the plot when there are gaping unanswered questions. My issue with continuing MGS4 is that all of the characters have finality to their stories. Furthermore, the mindset that caused the world to be the way it was in MGS was at an end. There will probably still be wars, but there's no longer a need for soldiers like Jack and David. With Big Boss, you got a lot of history and material developers can really get their hands dirty with. And there's overall a lot more that can be done with the Cold War, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Peace Walker being great examples of that.
