With the "Snake gets knocked back by gunfire at stairs" bug, it's not actually a bug. There is a codec call [no idea if you're supposed to call Otacon or if he calls you.] where Otacon says there is a sniper at the very top of the stairs, and you'll be completely exposed, and should wait for the alert to go away before trying to climb.
SomePerson so Snake can't reach the top. It's just a way of artificially preventing you from activating the "Snake reaches the control room and spots Olga" sequence with a million soldiers chasing you. You get "shot" by a sniper up at the top of the stairs aiming down at you in alert phase. You can't see him, but if you call Otacon he explains that's why you can't go up the stairs.
There is another small glitch you can do with emma in the water section where you fight vamp. If you move her next to a railing, then flip over the railing, move next to her and flip over to knock her down, then quickly pull out your gun and shoot her in the head she won't die... until she finishes her standing animation where suddenly she realizes she has been shot and dies giving you a game over. Not useful at all but it is one of the few glitches I've found myself so I'm quite fond of it.
The arm spazzing out when falling into the void is actually float-point precision problems. Numbers loose accuracy as they get bigger and bigger (Also works in negatives), and that affects how the rendering engine works. So as you fall, your Y position lowers continuously until the rendering engine breaks. It breaks because there's not enough precision in the coordinates of each point in the model to be displayed in the correct position.
1:43 This ain't a glitch even though it look like one... its suppose to be "enemies soldiers" above the stares that prevent you from leaving... Even though you cant see them... lol And the games doesn't want you to go there when your in Alert Mode since there is a quiet cutscene in this next room... At least thats what i always thought.... Btw Nice Video! They were a lot of glitches i'v never seeing! I always thought this game was glitcheless! lol
A+Start Hmmm... I need to replay this Game now that i can Try those New Amazing Glitches... I really liked the Raiden Swimming above Ground and Snake Jumping Step With the Theme Song! ADHD SYMPTROMS SNAKE! xD I'll Try to Swim at the Elevator With Raiden at the Beginning of Plant After the Cutscene is Activated! Thanks for the Reply and This Awesome Video!
One of the greatest video games ever made and also a great sequel to a classic. I loved how the story touched on the "secret society" conspiracy theory with the Wisemen Committee. Epic game.
An explanation of Solid Snake's model warping : It has to do with your position relative to the center (or origin point) of the map. 3D games calculate the position of all polygons relative to a point on the map. When you move far enough away from 0.0.0 (XYZ coordinates of the center of the map), the coordinates become numbers so large, that the GPU has difficulty accurately processing them, which results in these distortions. You can try this with any game that lets you noclip. Just keep flying in a direction and at some point whatever model/viewmodel will start distorting.
Hey guys, I'm doing something non-Nintendo and non-Sega once again, so let's see how this goes. As always, thank you all so much for the support you guys give to the series, and for 125,000 subscribers. You guys are amazing. By all means, please go give the Facebook page a like and stay up to date with all amazing things that happen with the channel. Thanks again! Andy
Are there any glitches for 3ds games or ps vita games. I know there are glitches for Majoras Mask 3d and people talk about it but i dont know as i dont own it.
The Tengu area, finally a tip that might actually help get through that area. I haven't actually tried going for Big Boss rank, but definitely plan on it soon.
Wow. I didn't think any MGS game would have glitches because of how much of a god Kojima is. I remember so many occasions of trying to break the games or just screwing around doing something random and getting a CODEC call about whatever I was doing! That always blew my mind. It's like Kojima & his team thought of EVERY possible scenario.
True. I'm not sure why, other games have great glitches, and it's not like there aren't enough Metal Gear fans around. Oh well, I for one enjoyed this one a lot!
The stretching around 4:40 is actually, I believe, floating point errors. When approaching extreme distances from the origin of the level, the math lets more error prone and thus where to draw the polygons becomes inaccurate.
Wow another fantastic and informative video! Have you ever considered setting up a vote for what game you should do next at the end of the video? Maybe only games you know contain some good glitches and stuff? For example; PS1 Spyro games had some great glitches in them... and Halo 2 for the xbox had a ton of them.
It's funny to see all of these glitches. Knew a few of them because they are used in speedruns (Ladderglitch in Holds 1; Swimglitch; Swim Skip before Vamp and Tengu Skip), but it's pretty funny how broken this game is. You can also use the swim glitch from the Plant beginning to skip the swimming section before Vamp by swimming against the wall and mashing circle. I really love this glitch series tho!
The weird arm distortions at 4:33 probably occur due to floating point errors caused by moving too far out of bounds. The "weird force" is most likely just the console rounding the location of each vertex on the mesh to more generalised figures the farther out of bounds you fall.
When looking in 1st person in that 1st glitch, where you see yourself in the wall, its actually a small percentage of that hallway, faded out and placed behind to give a reflecteve illusion...found that kinda cool when i did it
"If you're going for no kills, this is the perfect strategy" I found it funny that he says this just as the cutscene begins showing Tengus in bloody heaps on the floor (yes I know that doesn't count as kills in the final score.)
There's another "glitch" similar to Fortune's one, against the Harrier, if you go to grab a ledge by going over the gard-rail, Raiden will do a backflip, during which he can't be damaged, even if he gets directly hit by a rocket, same goes for when he goes back up.
and here i was thinking that there were only about 4 or 5 glitches between MGS2/3 that i knew about. the only ones in this video i knew about were the elevator floor clip and the door kick bypass, that particular technique can actually let you back out onto the shell 1-2 connecting bridge after emma has been stabbed, but with that glitch, be warned, dont do it through a area connecting door with higher security than you currently have. if you do youll get stuck behind the door and since you lose control of your character until you go through the door (usually, which is now locked) you cant save.
There's actually another noclip glitch in strut E. Crawling underneath the cargo shelves, equip the coolant and then stand up. You can then switch items and move around freely inside the shelves.
These aren't glitches, they're advanced sneaking tactics.
Even the one at (2:08)?
*YES*
@@hikariwuff Lol
Hahahahha
Tronsnake ESPECIALLY this one!
Guess you can call this episode...Snakes and Ladders!
NeoMatrix buh duh bum haha
Ba dum tss
NeoMatrix What a thrill...
Whoa I completely forgot that Snakes and Ladders is a thing that actually exists!
i just want you to know ... 2 years later and that shits still hilarious

Why the hell would a sniper be on top of stairs?
SomePerson so Snake can't reach the top. It's just a way of artificially preventing you from activating the "Snake reaches the control room and spots Olga" sequence with a million soldiers chasing you.

There actually two versions I guess, I never got hit when I try to get up stairs on full alert, it only stops me but no gunshots
Going up the stairs also cancels the alert
So... Raiden becomes Pyscho Mantis?
Flies, goes through walls, black clothes, breating mask with orange goggles ._.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Glitches

Not useful at all but it is one of the few glitches I've found myself so I'm quite fond of it.
Solidus: And then we will be........SONS OF GLITCH!!!
4:30 This is probably caused by a loss of precision in floating-point variables as they get to very high values.
All these glitches can be explained with one word...Nano-machines (well at least I think that's one word)
Nanomachines, son!
I see Snake and Raiden have gone through extensive training to maximize their stealth abilities. I hope there is a MGS 3 son of a glitch

Let us enjoy the fun without spooning the magic
In Roblox on Xbox, I frequently get flung into the sky and that model glitch would happen.
@@aero668 Let us enjoy the fun without ruining the cool explanations
I've never played a Metal Gear, but hot damn, this is making me really want to!
you need to fix that dude aha
A+Start *goes on Amazon and buys copy*
You've never played MGS? Go sit in the corner!
...and, you know play some MGS
Haedox YOUR EVERYWHERE
I swear to god, I find you everywhere
That ladder glitch looks hilarious :D Great episode! :)
gamesplusjames Yeah it's a new favourite haha thanks James :)
It's like Snake is saying: "I DON'T WANNA GO TA SCHOOL TODAY!!"
A+Start Everybody do the Mario/Snake dance!
Goddamn, mosh-pit-Snake should have his own game. :D
YES!
Anyone else disappointed that the Snake Ladder Glitch wasn't a move for Super Smash Bros Brawl? :P
It should have been what Snake did when he lost a match.
Saphiria TheBlueDragonKnight And in the end we see him fall down, cause he could not beat the ladder boss!
lol!
You know it´s true right ;) That is what happens when you do to much snake beating and do not have the stamina required ;)
lmao
1:43 This ain't a glitch even though it look like one... its suppose to be "enemies soldiers" above the stares that prevent you from leaving... Even though you cant see them... lol
And the games doesn't want you to go there when your in Alert Mode since there is a quiet cutscene in this next room... At least thats what i always thought....
Btw Nice Video! They were a lot of glitches i'v never seeing! I always thought this game was glitcheless! lol
gabriel montreuil no this happens at random times even when the cutscene has played out, you're normally always able to exit deck D to the bridge
A+Start
Hmmm... I need to replay this Game now that i can Try those New Amazing Glitches...
I really liked the Raiden Swimming above Ground and Snake Jumping Step With the Theme Song! ADHD SYMPTROMS SNAKE! xD
I'll Try to Swim at the Elevator With Raiden at the Beginning of Plant After the Cutscene is Activated!
Thanks for the Reply and This Awesome Video!
@@AStartShow It does this when playing the game on higher difficulties but it doesn't happen on very easy
This was a really good episode, the ladder glitch is so funny.
2:14 SNAKE WANT MCDONALDS FOR DINNER
Shadow of the Colossus Glitches?
Maybe?
2:08 My sides.
Yup, advance stealth tactics, perfect for espionage!
One of the greatest video games ever made and also a great sequel to a classic.
I loved how the story touched on the "secret society" conspiracy theory with the Wisemen Committee.
Epic game.
snake and raiden really upped their skills over the years
I love the way your videos make us see games' environment on a totally different and not meant to be seen angle. Keep on ! Nice job ;)
I'm trying these now on my PS3 in 2021 and I can confirm they're working so far
Raiden swimming trough the air like a zora
2:10 DAM IT DAM IT DAM IT DAM IT DAM IT DAM IT!!!

10:13 "Who's paying for lunch this time?"
Holy crap you are doing an old favorite series of mine... Thank you so much i love this channel even more now
10:13 And here I thought it was Mantis in MGS V, but no, it's Raiden!
+Jean Dugas raiden is psycho mantis confirmed
Your both wrong.

***** glad you enjoy the series :D
TripleJump thanks for watching :)
A+Start do you think Nintendo is the easiest to look for glitches
The ending killed me. Perfect dance from Snake!
You could say snake has his gears grinded!
I'll see myself out now :(
That joke was pretty... Solid
+Thomas Mason i was thinking of a snake joke but theyre slippery and slipped out of my fingers
+ Jason Sprague whattt??
The hand glitch is in every game ever made that is 3D and has a bottomless/ one that doesn’t reset you void
0:21 he's having his "pleasure" time XD
Oh man, that was GREAT! Things I've NEVER seen before, just amazing!
These videos are too addictive. I've already watched all of the others :( . Also the ladder glitch was hilarious XD
Pi have been playing these games for years and never knew anything about these glitches. Awesome video
huge Metal Gear fan. I never knew about these glitches and I played Metal Gear Solid 2 around the time it came out.
These glitches just scream "Physics".
Or 'lack of physics'
The Tengu area, finally a tip that might actually help get through that area. I haven't actually tried going for Big Boss rank, but definitely plan on it soon.
Oh god, my first XHUEG game. Damn that was a long time ago.
Thanks for another awesome episode!
2:29 That was the funniest thing when I first watched this XD
so many people that never played mgs in this comment section
it makes me sad that these people never played such a amazing game
I thought I was the only one who ever found that elevator glitch! good job man.
Awesome! Amazing! I would love to see more MGS glitches. But this one was great. Nice job. :)
You were so funny when you did the stunned soldier glitch!XD
Wow. I didn't think any MGS game would have glitches because of how much of a god Kojima is. I remember so many occasions of trying to break the games or just screwing around doing something random and getting a CODEC call about whatever I was doing! That always blew my mind.

This episode rocked, great work! It's always good to see something that's not Sega or Nintendo related.
Adam S yeah but still not as popular unfortunately :(

chachingboy1 thanks :)
Haha ..tantrum Snake is hilarious! Makes me wanna play that awesome game again.
Another awesome Son Of A Glitch Andy :)
Full Skillet Albums thank you :)
This series should actually be called "Andy makes games his "glitch"
Because dang you are owning these games haha
Thanks for the credit guys! Great video :)
As a metal gear solid fan and glitch fan I'm loving this episode👌
one of my favourite channels keep up the good work!
11:15 The best thing is how this syncs to the tempo of the song, just beautiful
Thank you so much for your videos. It's always entertaining, informative and fun. Hope to see more from you.
Man this is great! I love glitches! Haha
Cant wait to try these out for myself thanks for making this man :P
Oh God! This just made my day and rethought playing MGS2 again
Love that little tantrum victory dance at 2:09 lol
I loved the ending. xD Also yay for MGS2, it's my fav in the series. ^-^

Great vid, I love MGS! :D
Thats a nice glitch where you could go see the buildings.

What the?? This was published on my birthday!! I'm watching in 2016
great episode!!!
I didn't even know an MGS game could have glitches like this XD
Any chance you could release Snake Moshing at the end as like a 10 hour loop?
Kevin Ruddell somebody will do it haha this is youtube :)
A+Start You should have made it so every time snake bounces, he says "Dough!"
Alright, I'm ready for the snake eaters glitches. (Preferably on the 3ds)
