Easter Eggs:
------------
Part I: The American Dream

Chapter Two: Live from the Crime Scene

Right at the beginning, there is a hole in the bricks in
the wall. Cheat yourself a grenade and throw it in. Your
mission objectives now say "I had declared a war against
rats". A bit later, after walking through some water and
taking out a few enemies on a train platform, walk up the
wide stairs. In the room at the top are a bunch of rats...
with Desert Eagles! Now shoot at one of the ceiling lamps
that's off. Hit the base of the lamp and it will fall.
The rats will now battle each other. If "your" side wins,
the remaining rats will take up defensive positions around
you. If your side loses, the remaining rats will come after
you.

Chapter Two: Live from the Crime Scene

You can shoot the wailing siren in the central vault area
and Max will thank you.

Chapter Three: Playing it Bogart

If you walk past Rico Muerte's room to the end of the hall,
you can shoot away a boarded-up door. From this room you
can walk across the ledge and shoot away a boarded up window
to find a dead body with a stake in it lying next to the word
"Buff" in blood (as in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), as well
as some other goodies.

Chapter Six: Fear That Gives Men Wings

As you ride the elevator up from Luigi's Laundry, shooting
the speaker playing sappy elevator music will bring another
"Thank you" from Max. Shortly thereafter, as you leave out
the window from the room sporting the thug in the bathroom
and the TV news report, walk to the left and there will be
a window you can jump through to a room with two Soldier of
Fortune 2 posters and a stash of shotguns. If you didn't
destroy the elevator speaker earlier, you should be able to
hear the music from within this room.

Chapter Seven: Police Brutality

When Gognitti reaches the locked door, there is a satellite
dish behind you on the ledge. If you jump from this corner
to the ledge across the alley, you can drop down into the
fenced area and open a door to a room with a nice assortment
of ammo and a poster proclaiming "Dopefish Lives!" Dopefish
is quite possibly the most prolific character in Easter Egg
history.

Chapter Seven: Police Brutality

At the basketball court, there is a Beretta stuck in the
net. Also, if you wait by the fence, an SUV wil drive by.
If you shoot it, it will crash and the driver will get out
to shoot at you.

Chapter Eight: Ragna Rock

When you reach the inner stage area, you can "use" the
drum kit and microphone and step on the guitar for some
interesting effects and dialogue.

Part II: A Cold Day In Hell

Chapter Five: Angel of Death,br> When you reach the grand

piano, you can "use" it and Max will play the title theme.
You can get a different effect by shooting out the lid
support and trying again.

Part IV: A Bit Closer To Heaven

Chapter Four: Backstabbing Bastard
At the entrance ramp to the car park (from where you start),
there is a stack of barrels and an air conditioning unit that
you can jump on to reach the roof of the garage. Shoot the
off-color panel of the shed there and it will fall away.
Inside, you can jump on a grate to fall into a room with
the grafitti "R Thanks", a radio you can "use" to hear audio
from the production team, and a sniper rifle with ammo.

Chapter Five: In the Land of the Blind

In the small room after Woten's office (where you find
the Aesir building plans), there is a small picture that
you can shoot off the wall, revealing a button. Pressing
it will raise the couch on the other side of the room,
revealing a staircase down to a "private area". In it
there is a big screen TV you can use to play a 3DRealms-
themed parody of Star Trek. In the adjoining room there is
a bed with chains next to a closet full of bondage gear.

Pump Action Shotgun:

--------------------
You can get a pump-action shotgun right in Max's house
at the very beginning. The shotgun is hidden in his house,
on the opposite wall of the phone, in a shutter closet,
much like the one that you see right when you get in the
house near the door. Open the one farther away from the
adjacent room, and you will get a pump-action shotgun
with 5 rounds.

Unlimited Bullet Time:

----------------------

keypad 1. During the game, you can hit this key to slow
the action down any time you want. Repeatedly press it and
it will slow things down even further to the point of pausing
the action. Pressing keypad 7, will speed the action back up.
There is no time limit for how long the action is slowed down.

Alternate egos:
---------------
By pressing Keypad 9 or 3 you can change the character Max
plays during the game. Be aware that some weapons may not
be available to you during the time you are using these
alternate characters.

Level Warp:
-----------
By pressing keypad 0, you can warp to different areas of
the level, or "chapter," and at the same time you could be
standing right in front of enemies and they will not even
notice you.

"A Bit Closer To Heaven" don't press esc stay for a
while then the game willbe started at new stage with
lots of enemies to kill and painkillers and guns to
kill them kill them all then go to back of the wall
in a room where you can see all persons who have

in a cheat mode too.... best of luck

To get unlimited Bullet Time:

-----------------------------
E-mail: colfish@xsinet.co.za
Submitted by: Jethro Fisher
Just After you have been killed , During the slow
motion view of you dying where you normally push
enter but if you push F12 and type god you will get
up again and will be in bullet mode for the whole game.

Another easter egg:

-------------------

On the training mission after you have killed all

the guys, jump ontop of the van at the far end of
the road and then onto the extractor fan box.
From here you can jump onto the fire escape and
make your way up them where you will find a
breakable window leading to a secret room. In
there you will find an imgran and if you look
in the drawers around you will find more ammo
and some pain killers.

Developer Messages:
-------------------

On the level where you are confronting B.B. on the parking garage,
there is a hidden area where you can get a sniper rifle & ammo.
Before going down the first ramp that leads deeper in to the garage,
jump on the various objects by the entrance to the lower levels to get
on a roof with a small metal-walled building on top. Bash on all the
walls with the bat until a panel falls away and then go inside. Once
inside, you'll also see a radio you can turn on to hear a rather
humourous message from a couple of the game's developers.

War of the Rats:

----------------

On Part I: Chapter 2, you can cause the rats to war amongst themselves.
Use the developer command line cheat and give yourself a grenade (then
''getgrenade'' in the console) at the start of the level. Toss it in
the gap of broken titles after the initial level_start camera panning.
This will cause the mission objectives to change to ''I had declared war
against the rats''. As you progress through the level, you will come
across the two factions of rats -- WITH DESERT EAGLES! Shoot at one of
the ceiling lamps that's off at its base to make it fall, causing the
start of the war. If your group of rats wins, they will join forces and
follow you through the rest of the level. If the other rats win, they'll
turn their remaining forces on you.

Secret room in Asgard Building:

-------------------------------

In the second part of the Asgard Building, after picking up the video tape
and watching the TV news report about Aesir Corp being a bigger monopoly
than Mic....ft ever was, there is a small, dark room with a table, couch
etc. Shoot the small painting to make it fall off and a small white button
is revealed. Press this button to make the couch behind you rise. Go down
underneath it and use the control panel to open the door. Inside, switch
the TV on to hear a funny version of Star Trek (called the Void) and open
the cupboard behind the curtain to find, er... something else :)
Easter Eggs:
------------
Easter Egg Number 1
In Act 3: Level 4 (the garage), there is an Easter Egg
featuring members of Max Payne's production team and some
surprises. After the opening animation ends, take out the
four guys that the car has dropped off. Now, before entering
the garageon the right, face the garage and look just to the
right of the opening. There are 3 barrels (one, and then two
on top of each other), and an A/C unit coming out of the wall.
Jump >from one to another to reach the roof of the garage. You
will now be facing a little shack on the roof, with a door-shaped
section painted slightly lighter than the rest -- shoot this with
any weapon, and it will fall away, leading to a room with a small
grating on the floor. Stand on the grate, and you will fall into a
room with a dead hostage, a sniper rifle and ammo, and a radio that
plays a conversation between members of the production team with a
bit of humor at the end.

Easter Egg Number 2

In the rooftop chase sequence there's a room you can get to that
has a poster of Soldier Of Fortune II and some other useful goodies.

Easter Egg Number 3

In Chapter 3 when you start on the roof of the multi-storey car
park you can jump on the barrels and then onto the roof near the
exit ramp. If you shoot the peculiar looking metal wall you'll
see it collapse. Then go through the opening, drop through a
nearby vent in the floor and you'll end up in a small room.
You'll find a sniper rifle and some ammo and a radio. "Use" the
radio for some laughs.

Easter Egg Number 4

When you walk in on the bank robbery, you can shoot the wailing
siren to stop it. Do this and Max will thank you.

Easter Egg Number 5

When you find the piano on the manor level, if you "use" it Max
will play the title theme. Shoot the lid support out to drop the
lid and then try playing the piano again.

Easter Egg Number 6

When you find the drum kit in the Ragna Rock bar, "use" it to
play some beats. You can also get the guitar on the floor to
squeal and if you "use" the stage microphones Max will say:
"Karaoke was never my thing".
