Hy guys! I'm finally proud to release the Enhanced Edition of my Payne Evolution mod! It's been a looong time I know, but real life hit me hard and I had to prioritize things making difficult choices, sadly I was forced to miss several release dates that I had internally planned, but now everything has settled well and I'm finally able to give you the most polished version of my mod, with the best and most requested enhancements, everything while still struggling with the 15 years old Max Payne 2 engine. :D
HERE'S A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE MAIN ENHANCEMENTS:
- Automatic ammo collection (weapon "teleporting" on first touch is expected and unsolvable)
- Replacing a weapon now drops the old one (all ammo still disappear, but now one single mag stays)
- New weapons sound system (whole different BT specific sounds for both player and enemies)
- Implemented Last Stand also in the two levels where it wasn't working (Upper East Side and Ending Manor)
- Replaced the Chow Yun Fat skin with John Wick skin (thanks AndersenTheMuss!)
- Implemented shootdodge slowmotion canceling (just press the bullettime button again, exactly like in MP3)
- More last stand surviving speech (with proper subtitles obviously)
- Improved Fal/ColtCommando muzzleflash (closer to the MP3 one)
- Replaced Max's jump sound with hopefully better sounds (still from MP3 like the old ones)
- Ported Marty's bar radio musics (Vinnie have it playing in his parking lot where you escort him)
- Now cough sounds plays along with the cough anim (when near a big fire like in Condemned Building B)
- Improved whirl reload effects (BulletTime reload feels more like in MP3 now)
- Fixed cinematics audio shots (Max's apartment intro have MP3 sniper sound, last level intro have hammer cocking sound, etc)
- New piano play sound (enemy now plays a real recorded custom piano version of MP theme played by a fan)
- Improved shootdodge background noise (falling/slowingdown sound effect like in MP3)
- New mpk first person overlay (I still prefer the old one, but a lot of people complained so...)
- Tweaked bullets speed and BulletTime values to improve gameplay (even cooler slomotions action now)
- Countless of fixes to audio, textures, models, subtitles and so on
- Hud hidden when unneeded (now screeen is completely clear in exploration part of levels)
- Replaced original MP2 musics with appropriate MP3 musics
- Added LOD and Framerate Smoothness sliders to video options menu

unfortunately the 'cant pickup weapons' bug has affected my playthrough greatly. Otherwise I love most of the changes.
Why grenades and Molotovs disappeared from the game in this mod? :( Some enemies have grenades, but Max can't have it

Hello Silver, i contact you because i am making a mod today in 2023 and i would like to use your last stand animation for this mod, it´s called Payne Extreme and is a mix or combination of the best mod around there, can i have your permission'
How can I use your mod but with original Max head model?
I'd like that as well, anyone been able to figure it out? MP3 Max just feels a bit too old/grizzled for this point in the story.
How is this working so far in 2023 i read some of these comments and sounds like alot of issues in the past people getting stuck not able to progress stuff like that has all that been fixed?
Hello, Silver, this is maybe one of the best mods for max payne 2, i wonder if you can make for the community in Moddb a Model from Manhunt, james Earl Cash, or Leo Kasper from Manhunt 2, to play in max payne 2, i think it il be great
