Max Payne 2: Old School Remix takes the nostalgic concept a step further and focuses even more on the environmental effects, adds some missing weapons and presents another new DMW level (remake) from the first Max Payne.
The first full version of the Old School Mod for Max Payne 2 was released
in July 2019 by a Team lead by GP Channel (me included) and continued from
where mods like Valkyr Rage and Max Payne Classic left. It was the first
mod to create a nostalgic audiovisual atmosphere in which Max Payne 2's
story plays with the actors and arsenal from first one.
Old School Remix takes these ideas a step further and focuses even more on the
environmental effects, adds some missing weapons and presents another new
DMW level (remake) from MP1.

TIPS & TECHNICAL INFO
- If you use number keys to select weapons, you will need to remap
the keys (1-6) whenever you play this mod or go back to normal game /
other mods. Do this in the game's Options -> Controls -> Combat
screen, or simply "Reset to Defaults". Mouse Wheel is not affected by
the weapon slot changes.
- Back to Aesir levels may need "High" graphic settings to run.
- New Particle Effects have a potential to challenge the most low-end
computers.
- To gain more advantage in firefights: Turn off "Bullet Time Assist"
in "Options -> Game" and continue using BT while and after landing
the shootdodge to land even more shots before enemies do.
- You can face someone wielding an M79 Grenade Launcher up to ~10 times
during a Story playthru. Max will also have one in DMW or you can type
GetM79 (or Coder / GetAllWeapons) in console to acquire it anytime.
You will have a Baseball Bat practically available at all times or after
picking up any weapon item.
- Bonus Weapons available for some DMW characters can be acquired in
any level by console codes, but are not collected in normal MP2 Story
missions. Type GetSawedShotgunDual or GetMP5Dual in console, or have
every weapon available by "GetAllWeapons" or "Coder" commands.

This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
So ,should i just download this newer remix one or the original mod ?
Any reason to stick with the old one or does this one have everything included + new stuff ?
"does this one have everything included + new stuff ?"
Yes.
"Based on the MP2 Old School Mod, the previous work is followed up with new level effects, textures and art, two new weapons and one new DMW level."
It has all the stuff from the original + some stuff that wasn't ready at the time of first release.
I cant move my mouse while in game
