• Bloopers and Punishment

OK, here goes: If you want to see Otacon scold Snake, just do the following:

1) Watch the TV in the crew's lounge, then contact Otacon again. He'll scold Snake for being a couch potato instead of doing his duties.

2) Light up a cigarette and contact Otacon. He will give Snake a unwanted speech about the dangers of smoking, blowing his cover when doing so, and informing him that he has to think for other people's health as do his.

3) Hide yourself in a locker and contact Otacon. When Snake makes a crack about that "wee" accident, watch what happens!

4) For you guys who love adult humor, look at the posters in First Person View Mode, and contact Otacon. You'll see Snake doing the unthinkable. | [Sent by Stephen]

At the part where you meet Pliskin and he's asleep on the stairs, go up the stairs and look for a circuit board with an open door. Shut the door and you will find some C4 planted on the wall.

You are supposed to send pictures of Metal Gear, but there are others you can send as well and get a special reaction from as well. If you constantly send these photos over and over again, he will have different reactions to them, some are abseloutly hilarious. These are two and what he says:

1. The Vulcan Raven figure in the engine room entrance: Snap a picture for all the slots and get to the computer. He will tell you that he can save it for you in the future.

2. The Comandant who is saying the speech: This is better because you can take as many as you want. After about 7-10 of these his cartoon will be in tears saying that you better stop because you're freaking him out. | [Sent by Cybernetico]

Climb down and go through the tunnel, it will lead you to the door to Hold 2. Once inside Hold 2, go to the right side of the hold and open up the maintenance hatch on the floor there. It too will open to reveal a secret tunnel. Crawl through the tunnel until you reach Hold 3, a movie of Snake looking at Metal Gear will play. After the movie is done (skip by pressing X) run over to the right side of the room Snake is in. Crawl through the vent, through the tunnel until you reach a ladder which leads to a ledge inside the Hold. Slide down the pole by pressing Triangle, and you're in! | [Sent by LiquidSnake]

Play through the whole game and beat it once. Play the Plant level from the save. When you get to the part where you have to find Ames, all the hostages will be the same old woman!(except for Ames, of course.) This isn't helpful, but it's funny to see a whole room with only the same person in it. | [Sent by MerlynBruce]

During the game, there are a series of FMV scenes. They can sometimes get boring, so i found a way to make them more interesting.

While doing this, you can also move around the left analog stick and you will move to certain parts of the screen. | [Sent by AKnightInTheDark]
