Max Payne 2 Easter Eggs

 Kung Fu Poster

In part 1, chapter 6 go through the entrie fun house til you are in Mona's hideout.
Once Inside look around in Mona's gym area. You will find a poster of the famous
Max Payne 1 mod Kung fu by Kenneth Yeung.

 In Memoriam (eerie)

This could be found on Part 1 Chapter 7 (The Million Dollar Question) After entering
the room with a cleaner talking to another outside a window, take em off both. Jump
into the lift outside the window and press the button to make your way down the
scaffoldings. Make your way further down the scaffoldings into another window
below where you've just seen a man taken off. Blast the cleaner inside with a shotgun
(preferably! bang!) and instead of going inside, move your way further to the left side
of the building (walk on the ledge). There you'll see an open window with some sort
of faint light emanating from the inside. See for yourself what's inside the room!
Eeerie!

Max Payne 2 Secrets

 Special Ending

To get the special ending, simply beat Dead on Arrival mode

 Taking cool screenshots

Start the game with maxpayne2.exe -developerkeys -screenshot.

To do this you right click on your shortcut (which is usually on your desktop) and add
-developerkeys -screenshot after the target line, here's an example:

''C:/Games/Max Payne 2/MaxPayne2.exe'' -developerkeys -screenshot

Then when you're playing press the pause button and then F3 and you'll be able to
move the camera around freely, and with F10 you'll take a screenshot which will be
saved in a folder called 'screenshots' in your Max Payne 2 folder. To get the camera
back to normal just press the F3 button two more times.

 Instantly Unlock All Gameplay Modes

 Go to Start Menu->Run and type in ''regedit''. Press Enter.
In the directory tree on the left, Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software-
>Remedy Entertainment->Max Payne 2. Click on the ''Game Level'' folder, and some
items will appear on the right side of the screen. Right-Click and select New-
>DWORD Value

Double-Click on the entry you just made and set the value to 1. Rename the entries to
the following:

LevelSelector - Unlocks ''Level Select'' mode

timedmode - Unlocks ''New York Minute'' and ''Dead Man Walking'' modes
nightmare - Unlocks ''Hard-Broiled'' mode
hell - Unlocks ''Dead On Arrival'' mode

Max Payne 2 Glitches

 Lots of Empty Clips

Similar to the glitch in Max Payne 1 which allows you to drop the same clip on the
ground numerous times by jumping, this involves the same technique. Once you've hit
the reload button, do a jump roll (NOT [shift] bulletdodge) to the left, right, or back,
as soon as the clip is coming out, when you come out of the jump roll, Max will drop
the clip again, and the process can begin anew. However, jumping up or forward will
not affect the reload.

 Super Jump

Switch from a one handed weapon (pistols, SMG's) to a two handed weapon (shotgun,
rifle) or vice versa and immediately press jump.
