A little big update
19th November 2003 by Kristian "biXen" Hollund

A long silent era
You might be wondering why it's been so quiet here lately, well, I'm using a lot of my free time to work on my DMW map, some on playing the guitar, and some on doing design and stuff, I've just downprioritized it a bit. I've got some rather big updates lined up though, I'm sure they'll be appreciated once they are up, for now I'll just update on the most important happenings lately, the new mod stuff I post here won't be updated in the mod pages yet, so beware, check this post for all links and info on mods since last time.

The Real World - Matrix filled update
Maddieman has just posted a huge pile of screenshots of the upcoming Matrix mod The Real World on our hosted site Hell's Kitchen. Be sure to check it out, you can see a little teaser screen shot in this newspost.

Max Payne 2 Console versions news
The official Max Payne 2 website is updated with some screenshots and stuff from the Xbox and PS2 versions of Max Payne 2. For those of you with a weak PC and a weak mind ( ;) ) be sure to check that out right about now. It's due out for Xbox and PS2 on the 3rd December, the port is being done by Rockstar Vienna.

Max Payne 2 Demo is out!!!
Again, for you with potentially weak PCs, not sure if you can run Max Payne 2 well enough to buy it, here's your chance to find out. Download the demo, it should include enough playtime to have a bucket of fun, it's 245MB and you can find it on my Max Payne 2 downloads page.

Another DMW map (kind of)
The MurderBurger DMW map by DSilence has been improved a lot, and is here in a new version, well worth the download, check it out here.

Max Payne 2 Modding
Remedy has released the tutorials for Max Payne 2 modding, mostly concerning mapping, but some other useful stuff too. Get them here. Let it be noted that they will continue to be updated all the time as Remedy get the time to do so.

Another good mod
Froz released a cool little mod called Battle Tactics, it makes Max Payne 2 into a turn-based tactical game for a little while, pretty original, get it at FilePlanet here.

New Dead Man Walking Maps + more

New DMW Maps
DSilence has released a pretty good DMW map called MurderBurger Inc. Check it out in the MP2 Levels section, I've also added the download link to Froz' Church level. Thanks to the new great MP2mods.com

Max Payne 2 Q&A at Beyond3d.com
matze of MPZone let me know that Beyond3D has interviewed Markus Mäki of Remedy (Project Lead on MP2) about the game. Read that here.

Some general news
Addicted to Gaming is the latest to add themself to the huge list of sites reviewing Max Payne 2 that now has an average score of 89% in reviews according to GameRankings.com. Deep Six has gotten a nice spitshine, and looks a lot better now. Maddieman has updated Hell's Kitchen with info that the Max Payne 1 mods The Real World (Matrix mod) and Katana 2 will be out soonish (early 2004 at latest it seems). Check it out at his site.

The changes on the page
As you may have noticed, I've added another affil. to the site, updated the links page, added an ad banner for Rockstar/MP2, and moved the 3D Glasses ad around in the process. I've also decreased the top spacing with 30 pixels to create more vertical space. BUT, and there's a big BUT here (not butt you fool)...

I strongly suggest everyone browses the only way to browse, with Mozilla FireBird as their browser, for good reasons read this, 4% of my visitors can't be wrong :P Well seriously, that's a lot for a browser like FireBird, and it's really a lot greater than IE, try it out! Check out this image to see my browser look and layout for browsing. It's easy to customize.

DMW Level by TheHunted
4th November 2003 by Kristian "biXen" Hollund

Chateau DMW Map
TheHunted has released a Max Payne 2 version of his map the Chateau (based on a Matrix 2 scene). It's a pretty sweet DMW map with a lot of desctructible stuff, but beware, it's quite hard. Go on over to the Modifications section to get it, in the MP2 levels section.

There's some other minor news too, but I'll skip that for now, check that out at Deep Six. But one little note, there's an updated link to the RasMaster file in our downloads section which should fix some errors some people have had lately. Soon more updates on the mods that are in the workings, hang in there everyone :)
