Metal Gear Solid 2 secrets

Alternative Title Screen
Beat the game once to get a new blue screen with Raiden in the background. To change back to the one with snake, sit there at the main menu but don't push start. The opening video should start, you can skip it and the screen will back to the one with Snake. Also, on the Main Menu, you will see a picture of Metal Gear RAY.

Camera
Once you beat the game, save it and when you start a new game you should have it in your inventory.

Grip Levels
To unlock grip level 2 do 100 pull ups. To unlock grip level 3, first obtain grip level 2, and then do 100 more pull ups. In order to get your grip higher faster without doing pull-ups, drop from a railing and grab on to another railing as you are falling ten times. Doing 100 pull ups after unlocking grip level 3 will prompt your CO to tell you to move on.

Happy Birthday
At the first node you log into in the Plant Episode, you're given a chance to input your name, birthday, bloodtype and nationality. If your birthday is the same date as your PS2, you'll be greeted by a Happy Birthday logo with a matching Birthday cake.

Staff Dog Tags
At the first node, enter your name as one of the game staff. It will automatically put in their blood type, birthday, sex, and nationality.

Camera Control
During a cut-scene, you can press R1 or the Right shoulder trigger to zoom in, and use the right analog stick to move the camera around.

Moai Head
As with all Konami games, a Moai statue can be seen somewhere in the game. One statue can be seen in the vents of Strut L with the use of the Nikita missile launcher, however there are many more hidden throughout the game.

Kiss a poster
When hiding in a locker with a poster on the inside, zoom in and Snake or Raiden will lean forward and make a kissing sound.

Codec
Like camera control, you can move the position of the camera during codec calls. Pressing the shoulder buttons or the triggers will also disclose the inner thoughts of the person in control. Left side prompts a negative thought while the right side prompts a positive response.

Snake's Dogtag
After Snake Gives you the High Frequency Blade and Equipment, knock him out and shake him to get his dogtag. You will recieve Meryl's, Liquid's, or Pliskin's tag by changing the difficulty level. However, when you do this in Extreme difficulty, you will recieve Hideo Kojima's Dog Tag!

Dogtag Information
Use the Binoculars or Camera to identify the names of the person on the dog tag. The name will appear above the enemy. This only works if you are holding that soldier's dog tag.

Daze A Guard
When a guard spots you, either an '!' or '?' will appear above his head, depending on the distance between you and him. If you shoot this before it dissappears, the guard will become dazed for a while and some white bubbles float around his head, giving you a chance to run.
