Hall of Mirrors
Max Payne 2 mod | Released Jul 9, 2007
"In a futuristic world, a strict regime has eliminated war by suppressing emotions: books, art and music are strictly forbidden and feeling is a crime punishable by death. Cleric John Preston is a top ranking government agent responsible for destroying those who resist the rules. When he misses a dose of Prozium, a mind-altering drug that hinders emotion, Preston, who has been trained to enforce the strict laws of the new regime, suddenly becomes the only person capable of overthrowing it"
The modification is loosely based on the movie "Equilibrium" with the main focus of the work being based upon implementing a new combat system similar to the "gun kata" seen in some of the action scenes of the movie. The "Gun Kata" allows the player to take on several adversaries at the same time with dual weapons and gun them down in unison, much like what we see in the action movies of today where the hero wields dual handguns and shoots at different targets with each hand. This sort of stylish gun battle is what you can expect to see once the mod is released to the public.
The mod's focus is pure action and style, if you like shooting enemies and gunning them down in the coolest way possible then this mod just might be what you've always been looking for!

Hello community,
I've been looking at some of the old Hall of Mirrors media, and I must say I miss it a lot. Working on the mod was a great experience and I feel like I learned a lot and had a lot of fun in the process. I am also happy to say that as far as a Max Payne 2 mod is concerned, it was VERY popular which surprised me quite a bit. When I started working on this I never expected it to be anything that huge, definitely not huge enough to get magazine coverage all over Europe.
Alas, I do regret not having time to follow up on it with a patch or a sequel of some sort on the Max Payne 2 engine. But perhaps it's better to leave people wanting until you have something different to show them. That was always my philosophy when working on HoM. Our mod wasn't just a repackaged Max Payne 2 compilation of weapons/effects/music/maps. It delivered an original twist through gameplay, and allowed people to re-experience the game they had once paid full retail for (Max Payne 2). In the end, isn't that what mods are about? To let you experience more for less?
It is in this light that I want to let our loyal fans know this: After looking through the web and finding so much stuff about HoM, I have decided that I really want to continue it on a new engine. I have purchased a copy of Unreal Tournament 3 in the hopes of testing it out for a possible modification. I mentioned before L4D, but I was dissapointed to find that the SDK was never released in full as I hoped it would be. I am still considering the possibility of using Source as our next engine so don't fret!
That being said, I am working to reunite the Hall of Mirrors team again for another modding effort. It is my hope that the quality of our next release will not only match that of HoM, but surpass it.
As with any foray into new territory, I am interested in recruiting talent to help out with this new endeavor. If you are interested in helping build HoM 2, or have any ideas or suggestions please drop me a line here or email me at homteam@gmail.com
Take care,
Rico

One thing I can't help but wonder .. I've seen it done in other mods through time, so why in the world doesn't he have his sword? Would've made the last few battles a LOT more fun and a lot more accurate to the movie as well =/
Only recently got round to MP2 after having it just sit there for years. So many games, so few hours, etc, etc. Not often I replay a game, and rarer still to clock it on all skill levels, but this one was worth it. The story is so special, and of course the action matches it.
So after that I found some great mods, and HOM is definitely of the First Class Grammaton order. It's completely over the top, but huge fun - the way the Gunkata moves have been absorbed from the film is a marvel. Fan additions like this that must make developers dance with glee, knowing how much they stretch out the life of their creations.
The only real criticism I'd have is that it lacked skill levels - I found myself able to stay on any of the 'Deathmatch' levels for over an hour after just a handful of plays; but then I am a 'first class cleric' in real life ;)
Great to hear other plans are being toyed with - would be keen to play anything else this team get the time to do!
*spam* :O
It's Imperial Force from x-ray dog
