Elements Of Style (EOS) should be very satisfying to the many people that have found Max Payne 2's original gameplay to be very flat and/or stale. Because of MP2's gameplay, many other mods sometimes feel stale after a while because the gameplay is still the same. EOS takes the Max Payne 2 gameplay and specifically refines it wherever needed while also making the combat so much more appealing and exciting. This mod has received perfect scores on every site it has been on. Download this mod and trust me, you won't be disappointed

Recently, I have released an Elements Of Style Version 2.0 early Build Trailer put together by TriX. Though this build is outdated in 2.0, development wise, it does show off alot of new effects such as new bullet impacts, etc. and moves (including a suprising glimpse of the katana).

This is a High Resolution Trailer That is about 80 mb big, and over 3 minutes. Enjoy
