The Kaz we've clearly seen and identified in the trailer, that looks like Kaz from PW, is when Snake just rescued him. The one with the berret, is most likely what he becomes after that, when he shaved and got a prothesis on his leg. It's still the same character, as my observations clearly showed in the post i linked, just at a later time. Maybe, but when someone makes an error this colossal, they usually cause their userbase to distrust them with future information. Don't forget, when CBS did the Killian Controversy thing, when hot water was placed on them because of their "error," Dan Rather and a lot of the staff ended up fired as a result.

This is no way on the same level Weedle. Facebook pages for videogames are often out of touch and on the same level as the fans, especially when the product is made in Japan and the page is managed by people in other parts of the world. They're also very poorly maintained. For example, they allow their pictures to be tagged by anyone and neglect to remove tags, so we have an image tagged with Kaz, Campbell and Hayter. Before Rising's release images of Sam continued to be tagged as Vamp. Even if they have made an error in using that image, it wont be noticed by anyone significant in the company, it wont be fixed, no one will be punished, and no one will care. It is not going to cause fans to distrust the company. Hell, the fan base is already cautious of information regarding MGS, ever since Raiden in MGS2 they regard 95% of things as "Kojima trolling".
