Metal Gear Solid 4 Easter Eggs

Just like all the other Metal Gear Solid games, Metal Gear Solid 4 has quite a few Easter Eggs. A couple of them I found on my own and some I saw on the internet. Such as the J-Pop singing Laughing Octopus or the man peeing off a bridge.

Ones I found like the very first one was the statue that was presented in a few trailers for MGS4. I went on top and did the action button where Snake holds onto the mans Little Soldier. If you keep pressing the action button it looks like Snake is groping him until it eventually falls off, this was in my first play through and I couldn't help but laugh saying "That's Kojima for you."

The next one I found is when you are suppose to go upstairs to meet Rat Patrol but being dumb I ran over a landmine which sent Snake flying in the air. But he comfortably lands on the couch right beside where the land mind set off. Snake lays on the couch in a hang over passed out position with a leg and an arm hanging off the couch and his other hand on his head covering his eyes. This was a one time thing I managed to do. A few times I tried it over at a friends house with no luck in pulling it off again. I believe it's because I wasn't at a right enough angle when I do it.

When I was at my friends house we were talking about how big Johnny and Meryl have gotten in this game and how there will probably be new Metal Gear games coming out. During the fight with Rat Patrol against the Frogs. I became angry at the idea of how many fans want Johnny to be the next hero of the series. In doing so I shot him in the head with an RPG as I stood over him on a counter. In doing so leaves flash backs not only of MGS4 but of MGS1, but these are no Snake flash backs they are all of Johnny. We were shocked at the results so we killed Meryl next. Doing so left Flash backs of Meryl including clips of Meryls ending in MGS1.

If you tranquilize Johnny he falls asleep the same way you first see him in MGS1 with his ass in the air and his arms beside him.

In a second play through I was fighting Ocelot in a final battle, I died. I decided to call it a night so I clicked on the "Exit" button only to hear "Snake it's not over yet." Coming from Ocelot with that the selection was automatically moved back to the option "Continue."

There is a couple of small ones that my friend and I discovered on the plane during Mission Briefing such as the video that switches to pictures of a bikini woman, the radio that plays different music when you go upstairs. Finally a picture of someone on top of the stove right next to the picture of Olga. It's only during a certain briefing you see it and it's not in any of the cut scenes. As far as we can see it, it's a man. There was no zoom function so we couldn't make any other details besides that.

Here's some codec calls I like.
They even manage to do the same thing from MGS3.
