MAX PAYNE 2 THE FALL OF MAX PAYNE - OLDSCHOOL MOD
VERSION 1.0
SUMMARY
The first full version of the Old School Mod for Max Payne 2, released
on the 18th birthday of the original Max Payne game.
This modification succeeds in bringing the original atmosphere from
the first game to Max Payne 2's story and environment. The gameplay
is a balance between the two game's fun and challenging elements.
We cannot thank enough the people who made the base work for this mod in
different beta versions over the years, the latest known version being
Valkyr Rage Beta by Mercenaries Company.

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.
- 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.
- 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, GetMP5Dual or GetDesertEagleDual
in console, or have every weapon available by "GetAllWeapons" or
"Coder" commands.
