Well, for MGR2:

- Better stealth. They had stealth elements, but it was mostly gimmicks and didn't feel integrated at all. Again, action elements were spot on, but involving more stealth elements would be amazing since this is a Ninja game, which is just more about sneaking and staying the shadows, sneaky assassinations, even the trailing methods Raiden mentioned in MGS4.

- Longer game time. More variety in gameplay, environment. Regardless of if you liked all regions, MGS4 was greatly varied in each act. Act 1 was more moving through a war zone. Act 2 was more traditional, MGS3 style stealth action. Act 3 was complete urban stealth. Act 4 was interior sneaking i.e. MGS1 & 2. Compared to MGR, where all acts felt similar besides the boss fights. No real differences besides just the setting.

-  bring back Sam ( i'd be shocked if they didn't, he has the most survivable death in the game ), as a playable character if there is a sequel, since I also enjoyed his gameplay a lot as well. MGR felt really good, and their isn't too much to fix. Like you said, just some balancing stuff, toss in some new weapons and moves in the sequel and it'll be great.

Expand on Desperado's back story: Could be interesting, especially if they were to ever make a prequel. If not, pull a MGS4 and have the flashbacks appears during certain scenes by tapping X or A. We had very little of Mistral, Monsoon and Sundowner, and i would love to see more of them.

Bring back Raiden's family: At the end of MGS4, Raiden state's he is done running. Obviously, this didn't happen, but I am interested in what is going to happen to Rose and John. They're mention very briefly to be in New Zealand in MGR. That's it. What about a story where they get captured by the guys in charge of World Marshal ? I recall Sundowner saying that all the guys in charge are long gone and there were offices around the world. So, we can safely assume they will want revenge for what Raiden did at the ending of MGR.
