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 Though this build is outdated in 2.0, development wise, it does show off alot of new effects such as new bullet impacts, etc.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

Ok i just installed this mod on a new computer and a fresh copy of max payne 2.

Upon launching I get this error:

Exception in engineInit:Unable to load save game "Games\Max". File does not exist or it is not a valid savegame file.

What's up with that?

one issue could be the graphics, put the details on low and should do the trick , it worked at me...the problem is that it depends on the hardware , the max payne engine suports nvidia graphics on direct 3d or ogl , that means above 64 mega , if u have better it doesnt matter switch to low details and it will work

The mod is really nice, but how can I do those Kung Fu moves, when i have a gun? A see no way to put it away, and as a result pressing shotdodge doesn't execute the Kung Fu attacks, but regular shotdodge (as expected, come to think of it...). So how do I put my gun away? I noticed, that I can do 2 attack by pressing space, but what about the other strikes?

I have a problem,the game is awesome but sometimes when i load parts like "waking up from the american dream" it says cannot find "glasses" something with Jim Buravura...what can I do to fix this ??,I wanna play :(
And my suggestion is that there should be some kind of arena in 2.0 cuz its so fun just fighting enemies :)
