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

Thank you all for your support guys.
I am considering talking to the dev team about maybe moving to a different engine and working on a new mod. I haven't decided anything at this point other than I'd like to do some more modding, but definitely send me a line at homteam@gmail.com if you have any suggestions regarding engines and ideas!
Buy it! You can get Max Payne 2 for around $10 bucks or less nowadays off the bargain bin!
It's a good game and has af ew decent mods. Not a bad deal for 10 dollars.
If only I had Max Payne 2......
This is just amazing! The maps are just out of the movie (sa a bit of it with history teacher! :))
Graphics are very good. Adn the one cutscene is amazing!
9.3!
This mod is just Amazing!!! Thanks alot guys, you did a great job on this one! 9/10 cuz there's no long story line (that wouls made it much better if it had a long story). but still the best gun fights i have ever seen!
This mod is pure brilliance. Made me buy Max Payne 2 just so I can play it. I love it! I can't wait until more levels come out though.
When ever I try to start this mod. It says it can't read the CONFIG.txt. Then it closes. Is there a way to fix this? Becuase I'd really like to play.

I like the mod and it's cool that you can turn payne into a killing machine, but i dislike that you have to select the gun-kata at your select screen then i might not not be activated . You should really dessing a button that can turn on-off the gun-kata mod. Oh yeah and i don't like that it only has ONE mission. A mod like this should have alt least 3-10 missions.
i've been sat here for the past half an hour reading some postings by others and really i just want to say that the ppl who are critizing this mod really dont have any kind of leg to stand on with whatever argument they want to formulate.
1) if you are a true "Equilibrium" fan, it wouldn't matter that AT times there are a few minor gliches to the graphics or that the sound track leaves abit to be desired (TURN DOWN THE SOUND!)
2)the fighting system in this game is phenomenally brilliant, lives up to the splendid choreography of the film and i have no complaints. i've been through a few games in my time as a comp gamer and the gun kata system had me gasping and exclaiming for a good half hour before i got used to it.
3)haven't played the story mode yet, however i didn't really expect much more than perhaps 3 levels. so when i read that the 1 level consists of a 'hall of mirrors' i was not that surprised to find the said level in the game
those are my points :)

p.s
excellent work rico,anderson + rest of HOM team . very good MOD and equilibrium adaptation !
p.p.s
for all those who disagree...if you dont like the game...why dont u just suck it ?
