Shootdodge is almost the same as bullet time but this does not use any bullet time!!
Use this when there are 2-4 enemies in different directions and u also save bullet time!

Now you will find your enemy as ..throwing bombs to you.ok use the telescopic
MP5 gun to break down the support of iron bars by pointing at the red orange
coloured thick screws.Now donot forget to move around otherwise you will be in
trouble ..ok then you will have to quickly knock down the other orange screws
which support the above top of the position where your enemy stands.Hit them
with bullets from oppsite sides donot try to break them, you cannot,try to
push thm out from one side and expel them from the other by using bullets.
Please note the roof on which you are standing is collapsing due to bombarding..

Max Payne & Max Payne 2 The fall of Max Payne

Use the rasmaker and the rasmaker2 to decompress the game data, then look for the
following files
1. level_items.H
2. shooting.H

then edit the file with notepad, and change the values in the following parameter
1. clipsize (indicate the amount of bullet a magazine reserve)
2. pocketsize 9indicate the maximum amount of ammo Max can carry for the weapons)
3. shootingfrequency (indicate the speed of the shot, is it a single fire or a rapid fire)
all you got to do is edit it, or you can do the same thing that i do, i just add additional
zeroes to the values, and it makes Max dodging bullets like raindrops.

Playing max payne is cool but it's hell lot cooler to play mona, so for those of
you who like mona as much as i do and want to play her for the entire game use
this trick, find the file named "levels" and edit it with a notepad, you can use
the search feature, relax you'll find it for sure there's no name duplication in
this, then open it with notepad once you're inside find the parameter "playerskinname",
all you got to do is change the name to s_monasax_a or s_monasax_b or even s_monasax_naked,
you could look for the correct naming and other skins name in player skin folder.
NB: you must unpack it first using the rasmaker tool just extract the data.ras

How to Make Vlad Act In Double Role:

My Mail- naveennr1989@hotmail.com

First of all run the game with god mode(refer cheatbook for more instructions).
Now in the very last chapter after you climb the lift and turn right in that
room you will see the steps breaking down. Now instead of waiting for the small
lift reach near Vlad using the jump cheats(jump30 or jump20)You can fire at
Vlad but he will not die. He will soon hide in a small passage. If you enter
the door ahead in the movie you will see Vlad climbing the huge hemisphere.
He will throw a cocktail to the door. Since you are in god mode you can walk
through the fire and reach Vlad in the passage. He will be still there.
Now you can finish the game by killing Vlad over the hemispherical structure
or you can jump down and climb through the small lift and make the Vlad in
the passage go to the hemisphere.Some gang members will come from that door
but they will die in the fire. Try this out

Poets Of The Fall references:
-----------------------------
On some levels, you will hear the song "Late Goodbye". For example, in Chapter
4, when the janitor tells you the code for the door in one of the beginning
chapters, he hums the song to himself. In Chapter 6, when you reach Mona's room,
you can hear her trying to sing the song. In Chapter 7, before you kill the
cleaners playing the piano, you can hear one of them playing a little section
of that song. Near the end of the game, in one of the dreams, you see a cleaner
trying to clean graffiti, singing the song.

Max Payne references:
---------------------
In the beginning scene in the hospital, there is a nursery in the corridor just
before you enter the elevator. Although you cannot access the room, examine the
pictures on display. They are from the original Max Payne storyline. The first
is Max and his family outside a house. The second is of his wife and child dead.
The third is of Max crying while holding a gun.

Television shows:
-----------------
If you are near a television, you can see a show that somehow reflects your life.
The one that most copies your life is "Address Unknown".

Mad policemen:
--------------
In the chapter where Max is suspended inside the police station, go into the
rec-room. There will be two policemen sitting on a couch watching television.
Walk up to the television and shut it off. The policemen will make comments to
Max and they will get mad at him, but will not actually do anything.

Extra pain killers:
-------------------
At the start of the game, turn around and open the middle locker. Inside will
be two bottles of pain killers to take whenever needed.
