Actually the "Liquid Ocelot" case is not that simple. The way i understand it, Ocelot really was possessed in MGS2. It's backed up by the fact that you could hear Liquid voice back then, and the fact that Ocelot is the son of the Boss and the Sorrow. Being the son of the Sorrow, he inherited his psychic powers, allowing Liquid's mind to possess him through the arm. That's also somehow stated in MGS4, where it's stated that Ocelot removed Liquid's arm and used a prothesis instead, because Liquid's arm "disturbed his psyche". From what i understand from that, Ocelot actually "played" being Liquid only after he removed the said arm. But before that, he was really possessed due to his inherent psychic powers.
