Kojima would've done it differently if he knew he was going to make a sequel. Well, aside from the post-credits scene blatantly hinting at one. You know, the whole bit about Ocelot successfully retrieving the REX data and the president being revealed to be Solidus (which even Kojima admitted that he gave him the name Solidus namely because he anticipated the possibility of a sequel).
