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

hello and nice work guys !
i have question please help me :

Thanks and sorry about my bad English
Glad to see people are still enjoying the mod :-)
I recently started back up on game development, and I'm looking at the UT3 engine since L4D ended up not releasing their source code.
If anyone else has experience working with the Unreal 3 engine, I might be looking for people to work with on my next mod sometime soon. Just drop me a line at homteam@gmail.com and let me know if you're interested.
this was released on my bday :D so ill definately download it
awesome! love this and gunkatas mod. but mods can have more levels. hope some day be realysed some kind of map pack or patch :D
wow...not many words that can describe this mod. Its Pure BRILLIANCE.
I love the extra levels and the training room and stuff omg that is brilliant.
The Gun katas and the controls must have taken an awful lot of development and when i was downloading i was thing "Oh man..I bet this is going to be tough" But you did a 1st rate job of keeping it simple.
Overall 9/10
(only reason it was 10/10 is because it could have used extra levels. I know you explained that though.)
if you guys worked with the EQ Gunkatas develop team...
you would create an outstanding equilibrium mod...
put the "ex:my-matrix.mp2m" to max payne 2 folder
how can i install these mods(its my first mod for max payne:$)
Yeah, I am totally interested! Thumbs up! Love the Movie
just put tHe .mp2m file in your max payne 2 folder
:)
