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 Though this build is outdated in 2.0, development wise, it does show off alot of new effects such as new bullet impacts, etc.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

Trippy mod, Dalte. There haven't been that many Max Payne 2 mods that promise as much potential as yours does. I hear that there's going to be more stuff added to EOS 2.0. It would be hella bad ass if you added the kung fu from the original Max Payne's Kung Fu Edition 3.0 mod into your mod. That would make this mod even MORE trippy. LEGENDARY!! Heh... Just a suggestion, though. Good work and keep it up!

Cool Mod... Packed with all those matrix + F.E.A.R. style action... I'd have called this my favourite Max Payne 2 Mod if only the excessive smoke and particles don't crash my computer every time I play...

Sorry my fault those maps in the trailer were DMW maps not a standalone story.

Overall I'm really liking the mod a lot Max Payne 2 Almost feels like a new game mood wise you get a real sense of the carnage and damage you have done around you and also good to see that a flimsy cardboard box, drywall, wooden planks etc. don't stop bullets. The sounds I don't think ill ever be able to get used to the quiet whispers of the standard MP2 guns ever again.

Only one small problem I'm having whenever the nightmare or prologue levels are loading up for me I get this error.

Exception:
A Reference to shader Material "Glasses" defined in file "S_JimBravura_Indoors.txt couldn't be resolved
closing...

A screen of the settings I use for EOS 1.5 I42.photobucket.com

Those levels can be skipped by using the chapter jump but it messes with the flow of things when doing a New York Minute or DOA run. Despite this small problem great work all around can't wait to see EOS 2.0 if you ever do plan on making a next version.

TheSpecialist = All weapons + KungFu + God Mode
GetAllWeapons = All weapons + KungFu
GetCloseCombat = KungFu
God = God Mode

When in kungfu mode, use primary shoot to throw quick punches.
Use different directions plus the ShootDodge button to do different attacks.
The moveset changes and depends on whether you are standing or running.

Please post any thoughts about this mod

MY Mistake!!! I forgot to put it into a mp2m file
For now just put the data folder into your max payne 2 folder and run max payne without any mods.
It will work like that. I will re upload right now

I just downloaded EOS 1.5 and was wondering were those maps used in the trailer in 1.5 because when I do start up max payne 2 all have is the regular Max Payne 2 story maps.

Or is my problem that I just reinstalled Max Payne 2 and have to finish DOA mode first before those maps are unlocked for use?

Thanks to anyone who is able to answer my question.
