Hm, that "uneasy alliance" angle could really be on the money. We know that Ocelot was always on Big Boss's side, but he's supposed to nominally be working for Zero at this point. We know from trailers three things Ocelot will do in Phantom Pain:

1. Chill out with Big Boss in Afghanistan.

2. Get so involved in Diamond Dogs business that Miller (and maybe Big Boss) has him doing their interrogations.

3. Rescue Big Boss on horseback like a prince.

Ocelot is reckless as shit (his idea of helping you back in 1964 was to constantly try to shoot you), but this seems awfully helpful for someone who ought to care that it would blow some serious cover. Ocelot might be the uneasy alliance between Cipher and Diamond Dogs: Both former members of FOX are threatened by XOF, so Zero sends Ocelot to help Big Boss take them out. By the end of it, Zero thinks they've reconciled and gives Big Boss control over FOXHOUND, while Big Boss continues to secretly work against Zero with the development of Outer Heaven (hence what EVA says in MGS4: That Zero felt "betrayed" by Big Boss when he learned of the Outer Heaven uprising).
