The latest Did You Know Gaming video puts Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty in the spotlight. As with previous videos in the series, this one details a few lesser-known aspects of the classic game, including footage many fans may be seeing for the first time.

Sons of Liberty was also the first in the series to use motion capture, which was done with the help of a military advisor.

All of this and more are explained in the video:
