Welcome to my walkthrough for Call of Duty. You probably don't want to know too
much about me, but I have some free time so I might as well write a small
introductions. Besides, what's the harm? You don't have to read it if you don't
want to. Anyway, my gamefaqs contributor name is ieatdirttoo. Don't laugh, as
there are MUCH worse names I could have picked.

My real name is David Donaldson. I live in Hazelwood Missouri, in Saint Louis
County. Im fourteen years old (Laugh if you want too, ha ha ha). I am currently
in my freshman year of highschool. My first console was a Genesis, which I 
recieved way back in 1998. At first I didn't really grasp the concept. Sure, I
played usually an hour day the most, but I never really got into it. 

Three years later, in August of 2001, I bought the new slim version of the 
Playstation. This is what really got me into playing. I absolutly loved the 
thing, and I played up till late 2002. Around Christmas I got my Playstion 2,
which threw me further into the video game phenomon. I have at least 50 games
for it, though I have traded in quite a bit. 

For a year and half I played the crap out of my Playstation 2. I was actually
what some would call a fanboy to Sony. This all changed in July of 2004 when
I bought the mighty Xbox. THIS, is what really fine tuned my intreset in 
gaming. I have five faq/walkthroughs, three of them being for Xbox games. 
Finally, in late April, I bought my Gamecube along with Resident Evil 4. 

I have a total of nine contributions currently posted. Five full walkthroughs
and four in depth guides. My full guides are for the following games: Manhunt,
Max Payne 2, Call of Duty, Call of Duty United Offensive, and The Chronicles
of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. My other guidese are for LOS: Vietnam, 
MOH: Allied Assault and Riddick (three contributions for that game).

|1.2- Max Payne 2 |[12M2]|                                                   |
o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o 
 \--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
                                                                               
Max Payne 2 takes off right where the original left off. Max is a gritty 
depressed cop back to Work at the NYPD. After losing his family and his lover
Mona Sax he is an emotianal wreck. Doused up to the eyeballs on painkillers
and Anti-Depressing pills, he thinks that nothing is left in his life. During
a bust at a Vladamir Len warehouse he finds Mona Sax, alive. Thus starts the
game.

While this game isnt a Halo, its a pretty good game. Its set in 3rd person,
meaning you can see Max's Entire Body. Max Payne himself has been changed.
He no longer carrys his scrunched up constapation face. He is now much older
and darker looking. His cloths have changed as well. While he still wears his
black leather jacket, he has ditched the Leather skin undershrit and now 
wears a tie. His voice has also been slightly changed, but it is still a good
voice-over.

XBOX

When compared to the PC version the Xbox version is blasted away. Not to say
that the graphics are bad, but they lack a certain polish. The character 
models are all decent and so are faces. Max's face looks very real. The
enviornments are all highly detailed but very bland. Many objects are missing
from the PC Version, which is why the enviornments look so plain. 

Ragdoll's are also lessened on the Xbox version, which is a big dissapointment 
considering how awesome they are on PC.If you have an HDTV you can take 
advantage of the option to make this run in 480p. This improves texture 
resolution and color balance. Overall the graphics look like the medium setting
on the PC Version. The game looks decent, but could have easily been better. 

PC

Like with most games, the PC version of Max Payne 2 looks much better than the
Xbox version. Not to say that the Xbox version looks bad, but the lack of 
detail and bland enviornments bring it down. One thing I must say about the
PC version is that its is scalled well. My friend has a computer that barely
meets the minimum requirments yet he still gets a constant 25fps on 800x600 
Medium-High. Personally I play it on 1027x768 on high and it looks awesome.

The enviornments are so sharp and detailed. All the character models look like
they are real. The animations are all smooth and look great despite a litte
stiffness. The ragdoll physics on PC are simply amazing. Almost any object
will move when you hit it. If you shoot someone with a Desert Eagle they will
fly back and hit a box or something. Overall I give this a 10/10. 


The sound in this game is definitally top-notch. All the voice acting and 
death crys sound realistic and intense. During key moments the music will
swell up to further intensify the situation. All of the gune fire and weapons
sound authentic. Almost every gun has a different sound, including the 
grenades and rocket launchers. Overall the sound is awesome, and much better
than the original.

If you have a question or comment about the game, or just spot a mistake in 
the guide, please drop me an email at [email protected]. I must insist,
however, that you DO NOT send me emails with common questions that are answered
in the guide. For instance, don't ask me how to beat a level that is already
covered in the walkthrough..

I've recieved tons of emails like "Im stuck at X, how do you get past it".
This kind of thing really annoys me especially when people send flame emails
back at me. I have answered a few of them, but NO MORE. If you REALLY cannot
find a clear way through, I will send a new stradegy to you. I may also 
rewrite that section if it's sloppy.

Also, please do not send me hate emails. When you consider that I do this in 
my spare time for free and recieve almost no thanks, it really does piss me
off when someone decides to be rude. Yes, you may have had a bad day, but you
are not paying for this guide, it is offered for free from me, so please respect
that. Respect is everything, as quoted by Rarusk.

Finally, I must ask that you include the subject "FAQ HELP" in your email so
that I do not mistake it as being SPAM. Also, do not sign me up for any damn
pornography sites! I get at least 20 emails a day from sites that I would never
go to! Please respect me as a person and don't be rude jackass.

V. 1.00 December 4th, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first version to include the Version History section. In this
version the walkthrough is done all the way up to Part III, chapter 8. The 
weapons, characters, controls, and the "Max Payne 2" section are all 
completed. The enemies section is partially completed. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. 1.01 December 22nd, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I changed all the sub headings from the underscore to the "=" and the other 
headings to "-". This makes things easier to find, and I would like to thank 
everyone for their cooperation. I  am sorry that this was so unorganized. I
also rewrote the entire characters section.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. 1.2 April 17, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoa its been a heck of a long time since the last update. Anyway, Ive made the
subsection headers larger therefoure making things easier to spot. This in 
turn added 8kb.

-----------
Bullet Time
-----------

At first glance, "bullet time" may present itself as being nothing more than
another cheap slo-motion effect. If that were true then this game would not even
be worth picking up. Bullet time actually slows down the world around yet still
allowing you to aim and shoot in real time. Max will still move in slow motion
but thats a small price to pay considering the advantage that it gives you. 

Bullet time is measured in a rectangular bar next to your health display. 
Whenever you activate it [Default "B"] the bar will pulse yellow and start going
down. When it reaches the bottom then you will go back into real time. When 
in bullet time mode enemies will fly all over the place when you shoot them. 
Use bullet time whenever possible and don't worry about running out. 

The game is built around bullet time so avoiding using it can be both difficult
and frustrating. Every time you cause damage to an enemy the bar will raise, 
even if you are in bullet time when the damage occurs. This means that if your
low on health but high on bullet time you can come out of a fight alive while
still having some bullet time left. 

------------
Shootdodging
------------

This is the position shown in most screenshots for this game. Max essentially 
dodges bullets while performing a low horizontal jump. This uses little bullet
time while still having all of the effects. When you are "shootdodging" the
world around you will go into slow motion while still allowing you to shoot
and aim in real time, just like in bullet time. 

Shootdodging can be performed at any time [As long as you have just a sliver
of bullet time left]. Max can shootdodge in any direction. In addition if Max
lands on a table he will slide across it while still staying in shootdodge
mode therefore giving you extra time. Shootdodging is required to jump over
several gaps during the course of the game.  

------
Health
------

Unlike in most games Max will absorb damage very quickly. Even on detective 
difficulty Max can only stand up to about one clip or less of bullets. Your
health is displayed in the bottom left corner of your screen next to the bullet
time meter. An outline of Max's body will be there. If you are at full health
Max will be completely white. If you take damage a red bar will start rising up
to the top of Max's head. 

-----------
Painkillers
-----------

When you recieve damage you will need to heal. Your healing source is found in
little Painkiller Bottles scattered through out the levels. They will usually
be found in groups. Painkillers restore only 1/4 of your health and it will
take time before you are completely healed. The amount of painkillers you have
is displayed near your bullet time meter. You can have a maximum of eight. 

-----------------
The Graphic Novel
-----------------

A very unique feature in Max Payne. Its graphic novel scenes tell the story in
Max Payne 2 just as they did in the original. Almost all of the paintings are
actual pictures that were digitally changed into and oil painting. Reading the
graphic novel scenes is like reading a comic book, or a graphic novel. As you
will alot of the people in the graphic novel scenes look alot different from
there rendered counterparts [Most naimly Vinniie Gognitti and Mona Sax]. 
You will here the music and sound effects just as they would be in a movie

Max Payne
---------

Description:

Ever since the tragic loss of his wife and daughter in 2001, Max Payne has been
a walking deathtrap. Death, he believes, will relieve him off all of the 
physical and emotional pain he has been enduring for the past two years. 

Despite his dissaproval, Max has been cheated from death several times. In the
original game Max was framed for the murder of his partner Alex who worked in
the NARC department. After taking out an entire army of underworld thugs and
running from the cops for a few nights, Max finally get's his revenge by killing
the establisher of the "V" drug. 

Now he has returned in Max Payne 2: the Fall of Max Payne for another round with
death. As a cop working for the NYPD, Max has always been known for being rather
brutal in his methods. Max, himself, is the shy lonely tough guy type, kinda
like Tommy Vercetti. He constantly blends his emotional life with his work, so
he is constantly in trouble. 

--------
Mona Sax
--------

Description:

Description: Mona Sax has built up her reputation as a hired hitman (or woman)
on the streets. She has a sister who was formerly married to the leader of
the Punchinello crime family. Mona is a mysteriously soft deja vou type of
person. Max and Mona first meet in shortl after Jack Lupino is murdered by 
Max in his own nightclub. Since then they have had an on/off relationship, 
despite the fact that Mona has almost gotten Max killed a few times. This
game is mostly about her, and you actually get to play as her. Max and Mona
seem much more envolved in this game, so expect to see them engaged with 
each other several times.

------------
Vladamir Lem
------------

Description: Vlad is first introduced to you in the original Max Payne
as a black arms dealer. Since then he has mended his ways (or so he says).
He bought out the old nightclub RagnaRock, and proclaims it will be the best
resturant in the entire city of New York. He is currently at war with Vinnie
Gognitti (he he he. If youve played the first game you know why I am laughing.)
His former girlfriend is Annie Finn, the liscensed gunsmith that dies in the
first chapter. After that he finds a new mysterious girlfriend. Something is
not right about him, as Max puts it, its all connected.

---------------
Vinnig Gognitti
---------------

Description: This guy defines the term "loser". He use to work for Jack
Lupino, a crazy Viking worshiper who tried to kill you. He now runs his own
used car lot near his apartment. This guy really is out of it. He calls vlad
the "****ing Russian". His real buisness however is black arms, which is
why he wants Vlad out of the picture. He also loves the Captain Baseball Bat
franchise, which ultimitly leads to his death. For the time you know him in
this game he is pitifull, and you even help but just because your a cop and
he tells you that he will help you.

--------
CLEANERS
--------

Description: These are the weakest and most common enemy in the game. You will
meet up with these guys from  the first chapter. Throuhg the first part of the
game they are dressed in "The Squeky Cleaning Company" jumpsuits. When you
eventually make it to their hide out in the second part of the game, they 
show their true colors. These men are really supplied by Vladamir Lem, your
so called "friend" in the game. They don't show up much after Part II, mainly
because they are replaced by the more intelligant and dangerous commando's.

----------
COMMANDO'S
----------

Description: Unlike their cleaner buddies, Commandos pack some very serious
fire power and know how to use it. They are also extremely intelligant, which
makes them even more deadly. Unlike cleaners who mostly just shoot at you, 
commandos will flank you and seek you out. They carry the more advanced and
deadly weapons in the game (MP5, Deagle, M4, ect.) The commandos are found in 
the second half of the game. They dress in blue and black tactical clothing
and wear ski-masks to hide their faces.

-----------
MAFIA THUGS
-----------

Descriptions: These men are supplied by Vinnie Gognitti. They are basically 
the same as commandos, only less proffesional. They carry more deadly weapons
then the cleaners. There are a few variations of these men, but they are 
pretty much all the same. Like commandos they are smart, and will not let you
get away without a serious firefight. They in general look like Italian Mafia
thugs from GTAIII. Mafia thugs appear only in the beggining of the third
pard of the game.

------
AGENTS
------

Description: Agents are basically more intelligant and deadly versions of the
commandos. They dress in slick buisness suits and tactical clothing. They 
carry the most advanced weapons in the game, and definitally know how to use
them. No matter what situation your in, adding a bunch of agents can make it
much worse. They are found only in the last two chapters of the game, so you
won' have to deal with them to much.

Rate of Fire  - ******

Description: Rapid Firing Handguns deadly at close range. These weapons are 
used the entire game and remain good all the way up to the end. You can choose
to weild one or dual handguns, but in this case dual is better. They dont fire
as fast as ingrams but they still fire pretty fast. This gun also has a clip
size of 16, meaning that you can shoot 32 bullets at an enemy in avout 5 
seconds!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESERT EAGLE(DUAL)

Rate of Fire  - *
Accuracy      - *****
  
DUAL

Damage        - *****       
Rate of Fire  - ***
Accuracy      - ***


Description: The desert eagle is like a sniper in pistol form. The accuracy
of this gun is superb. It also is extremly powerful, usually making targets
fly backswards. Although it is extremly powerful it still might take 2 shots
to kill someone, but not likely. It has the accuracy of an MP5, so use that
to your advantage. However, it does have a slow rate of fire. When you weild 
dual Desert Eagles it reduces the accuracy but greatly inproves the rate of 
fire.

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

DUAL

Damage        - *****        
Rate of Fire  - *******
Accuracy      - *


Description: This is one of the more famous weapons. It delivers fully
automatic fire with high damage and low accuracy. This is personally my 
favorite weapon to use. It sacrafices accuracy to deliver automatic fire 
second to none. When using dual Ingrams accuracy if further decreased but rate
of fire doubles. This is definitally best suited for short-med range combat.
All in all this is a great weapon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRIKER

Accuracy      - *
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A


Description: The striker is basically just an Automatic shotgun. It serves
its purpous very well. You can take this into a room of 20 guys and pretty
much shread them in 10 seconds. Like other shotguns its bullets spread making
it more deadly. Since its Automatic its rate of fire is pretty decent, about
5 shells per second. Also like the other shotguns becaues it's made for short 
range combat, not long range. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUMP ACTION SHOTGUN

DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: This is you standerd police issue shotgun. It is very deadly at
close range but unnacurate. It fires 7 buckshots at a decent rate. While 
this weapon is ideal for close combat your gonna look like an idiot if your
sniping with it. It also spreads out for area damage thus making it easy to 
hit two targets. However, this weapon is a bit underpowered so you may have
to shoot your target twice before he will die.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAWED OFF SHOTGUN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damage        - ********     
Rate of Fire  - ***
Accuracy      - *
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: This weapon is basically a shortened double barreled shotgun 
with its handle sawed off. Like the shotgun this weapon excells in in close
range combat, but is even more unnacurate in long range combat due to its
shortened barrel. However this weapon also fires 2 shots almost at the same
time, which makes it much more usefull than the shotgun. Also it is not 
underpowered so you dont have to worry about that.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP5

Damage        - ******

Accuracy      - ******
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: New to the series the MP5 deliveres a fast firing rate with high 
damage and a scope. While it mostly shows up later in the game it is still 
very uselfull for taking out multiple opponents at range. To use the scope 
press X. If you want to zoom hold down X. This weapon can be used for either 
close or long range combat, but I reccomend using it for long range since its 
really accurate and may not hit your target unless your crosshairs are exactly
on it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M4 Carbine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: This magnificant weapon is found later in the game. High rate 
of fire, super high damage and accuracy matched to the sniper rifle make this
one of the best weapons in the game. This weapon is suited for any kind of 
combat, including sniping. ITs high damage make it extremly usefull, and the
fact that its an automatic rifle further increase its usefulness. Believe it
or not there is on problem, the M4 is simply too accurate. With most machine 
guns you can aim anywher close the tagret and it will hit them, but this 
gun crosshair's need to be right on the target to hit it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1956 AK-47 KALASHNIKOV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accuracy      - ****
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: While not as good as the M4 this weapon certainly isnt crap. 
Almost every modern fps has this too, because it is the most popular gun ever
to be manufactured. It fires at a decent semi-auto rate and can kill a man 
easily. Its accuracy is also pretty good, but not comparable to the M4. I
reccomend this from short to med-long combat because thats what its good for.
Accuracy isnt reliable after the first shot so remember that. Overall this
weapon is a great addition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SNIPER RIFLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damage        - ********     
Rate of Fire  - *
Accuracy      - ********
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: This is you standard video game sniper rifle. Extremly high 
damage and perfect accuracy make this weapon very usefull. This is better then
its Dragunov counterpart. It makes up for its low rate of fire with the 
ability to instant kill anyone. Enemys dont use this weapon either(except for
cutscenes). Its accuracy is also perfect, meaning no matter what the distance
the bullet will go exactly where you point it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DRAGUNOV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damage        - *******      
Rate of Fire  - ****
Accuracy      - ******
  
DUAL

Damage        - N/A      
Rate of Fire  - N/A
Accuracy      - N/A

Description: This weapon is a variation of the sniper rifle with imprved rate 
of fire but decreased accuracy. Only Mona gets to use this, so Max doesn't 
need to bother with it. It has the Accuracy of an MP5, and the rate of fire
of a Desert Eagle. I guess this weapon is somewhat usefull, but Its made to
snipe, and the other sniper rifle does it better. It will most likely kill 
your target in one hit, but sometimes you will have to hit your target twice.
Overall its a decent weapon, but for sniping the normal sniper is much better.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRENADES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description: These weapons are exactly what you think they are. Throw one and
it will bounce around for a second then blow up killing anything near it. You
can bounce them off walls, floors, whatever to get it to your target. They 
deliver an explosive radious of 5 feet from wherever it lands. These are best
suited for short range combat since it is rather difficult to throw the 
grenade where you want to it go if your far away. Also it may explode before
it gets there. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOLITOVS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description: This weapon is basically a Bottle of flammable liquid with a rag
in it set on fire. When you throw it it will explode on impact, not bounce 
like the grenade. Just chuck it an enemy and watch them burn to a crisp. Like
the grenade its best in short range, but dont throw it to short or you will
set yourself on fire.

After that rather lengthy graphic novel scene your view will transfer inside of
the hospital where Max is located. 

Once the cut scene is over you will be given control of Max. Use this time to 
get a feel for the game [Even if you have already played Max Payne before]. It
has the standard controls for an Xbox TPS [Third Person Shooter]. 

When you are ready to continue head outside of the room and into the hallway. 
Go through the double doors on the right and head over to the left side of the
room. A cut scene will ensue once you reach the doors in which Max and Mona 
will make out. By the way, the game is full of odd cut scenes like this. Get
used to it, because thats partly why people like the Max Payne storyline. 

Also, Max will constantly hear voices inside his head. Later you will find out 
who the voices belong to and why Max is hearing them. 

Head through the green double doors and into the hall. Head to the right and
go inside the set of teal doors on the left side of the hallway. Walk in to 
trigger a cut scene. 

A corpse is lying on the ground [Dressed in a cleaner uniform]. Max walks over
and searchs the body onlt to find a Beretta. Suddenly a Commando will pop in
from the door in the corner of the room and holds you at gun fire. Shoot him 
to death [Like with other shooters, one shot to the head= Instant Kill]. He will
be thrusted backwards into a pile of boxes. Notice the awesome Rag Doll physics
here [Especially if your running the PC version]. 

Run into the next room and you will view a very short cut scene in which Max 
blacks out. Slowly he regains his strength and gets back on his feet. 

Go through the teal doors next to the lockers on the left side of the room. Run
down the hallway to the right and you will come to a lobby. Go inside the 
elevator on the left and press the button [X on Xbox, E on PC].

The elevator will start going down. When it comes to a stop the elevator doors
will open to reveal Chief Bruvura. A cut scene will commense. Bravura starts
asking several questions. Max has no time to answer however because several
Commandos ambush you. Bravura goes down in a hail of gunfire while you escape
back into the elevator. The Commandos shoot a gas tank will rolls into the 
elevator just as the doors close. 

The gas tank will then explode and blows a whole inside the wall. Max falls
down the elevator shaft and lands on top of the elevator. 

When you are back in control jump off the elevator and go through the  shaft 
entrance on the right. Head down the hallway to the left. Go inside the door at
the end of the hall and you will trigger a cutscene. 

A women [Detective Winterson, who you will meet later] is lying on the examining
table. Out of her chest is a large oozing blood stain. Max sits down and begins
to recall what happened the night before, and why he murdered her. The prologue
will end here [I know your confused, just wait].

Once the graphic novel scene is over a cut scene will be displayed. Max drives
up through some warehouse gates in a white car. The door pops open and out 
steps Max. You hear the sound of a woman screaming and gunshots being fired.
Max picks up the dispatcher radio in his car and calls for back up. When you 
are in control head right around the car and through the small opening in the
fence.

Go all the way down the alleyway then head left. Ahead of you is a small set
of stairs and a single green door. Head down the path then through the door. 
You are now in a large storage room with several boxes stacked on high shelves.
Make your way around them and a cut scene will be displayed near the small 
cubical. Max uses the wall as cover then pops out and looks inside the cubical.

The noise that was ammiting from it turns out to be nothing more than a TV
show. When you are back in control head along the shelves and you will come to
two garages. The one on the left side has a red keypad. This is the only keypad
openable that is red. Use the pad to open the door. The cut scene will start 
off with the garage rising up. Out of it steps a strange man wearing a cleaning
compayn jumpsuit.

These men will be referred to as "Cleaners" from now on. Max jumps out from
hiding and questions the guy. He says that there is a gun workshop up stairs,
and that he will lead you there. When you are back in control you have two
choices. You can shoot the cleaner now nad get it over with, or you can wait
until additional ones ambush you with the help of the original.

Shoot him now to save you the trouble then continue through the next room. Go
through the small maze of boxes and you will come to another garage with a 
green keypad. Use the keypad to open up the garage and you will reveal a small
hallway. Go through the small hallway and into the next room. Take out all of
the cleaners in here then go through the maze of boxes and supplies and you
qill come to another room. 

This room has two doors but only one opens. Find it then head on through and
you will come to a staircase. Climb up the staircase and you will come to a 
guard chatting with someone through a door way. Shoot him in the head for an
instant kill then grab his ammo. Go through the room and into the hallway.
Use the door directly ahead of yout to advance. In the back of this room is
a door with angry voices coming from it.

Go over to the door and a cut scene will be displayed. The cleaners are 
forcefully talking to her before they decide to kill her. One of the cleaner
points a gun to the womans head but is interrupted by Max who walks in on them.
The other cleaner pulls out an Ingram and fires away at Max who finds cover in
the form of a wall. The cleaner with the pistol shoots the woman in the head.

Once the cut scene is over turn on bullet time and head in the room. Take out 
the two cleaners then head back through the room. Hide behind the boxes and 
wait for two cleaners to show up. When both of them are in the room pop out and
kill'em. Take their ammo then head in the hallway and go right. Go through the
door and find some cover. Three cleaners, one with a shotgun will come out of
a door on the other side of the room.

Turn on bullet time and pop out of cover. Take down all three of them then go
collect their ammo. Go in the door they came of. Stroll down the balcony and
go into the door on the left. The game will switch here to cut scene mode. 
Three cleaners are waiting for an elevator to come to their level. Once it does
the door opens to reveal Mona Sax [SPOILERS! Mona was supposed to have taken
a bullet in the original game]. 

After the slow motion cameo Mona shoots all three of the cleaners in the head.
This is where Max walks in. After the very short reunion Mona steps back into
the elevator and takes it up. When you are back in control head over to the 
doors and press the button to make the elevator come down. When it comes to
your level step inside and use the button to go up. 

When the elevator stops head out and you will be in another storage room. 
Quickly kill the cleaner on the forklift then head right through the opening in
the shelves. Take out the handfull of cleaners here then head in the grey door
on the left side of the room. A cut scene shows Max shooting a a black van.
He is almost hit by the Van but is pulled back by another detective. The game
will now show the graphic novel.

Once the graphic novel scene has ended your view will switch to Max who is 
approaching "Vodka", the new resturant being made out of the old Ragnarok 
nightclub. 

After banging on the door a few times gun shots can be heard. Vlad, your friend,
will scream out for some help from Max, who willingly responds. Max will run 
around the side of the building and enter the resturant through the back door.
Once you are back in control head past the pillars and up the staircase. At the
top of the stairs you will find a room that is almost identical to the previous
one. 

Take out the three or so Mafia Thugs then grab their ammo. Now head up the 
staircase on the left wall. Gun down the Mafia Thug in here then head through
the wooden door.

As you enter the door a cutscene will be displayed. Mike the Cowboy, is taking
out several thugs with the help of his trusty AK-47. 

When it is all over Max and Mike will start talking. They decide to join up in
order to lessen the pain of finding and rescuing Vlad. Go up the stairs that
he was shooting from and into the wooden door. Inside this room, which is like
the previous three, are several dead Mafia thugs. Mike jokingly tells you that
he killed them. Instead of going up another set of stairs, head over to the 
hallway in the upper righthand corner. Go inside the opened door. 

Ahead of you are two Mafia Thugs on the other side of the doorway. Don't bother
shooting, they close the door to fast. Head up the stairs to the left and you 
will emerge at the top next to a door. Go through the door and take out the
Mafia Thugs.

To the left is a very small ditch that leads into a skinny  hallway. Jump down
into the ditch and take the painkillers. Use them if needed then head through 
the door to the left. You are on top of an incredably tall balcony with 
scafolding going down to the right. Run down the scafolding and take out the
two Mafia Thugs near the bottom. When you reach the second to last staircase
break off over to the balcony. Head through the door then into the one on the
left.

Kill all of the Mafia Thugs in here then head into the small door to the right.
You are now in what appears to be a banquet room. On the other side of the room
are several enemeis firing at you.

Immediatly run to the left and use the pillars as cover. Peek out to the left 
and blast a few of them away with your shotgun. Now head around the balcony and
shoot up the rest of them. When the entire room is clear head down the staircase
located on the exact opposite side of the room from where you started. Now head
right and go over to the double door. 

Another cutscene will occur showing Vinni Gognittie (I thought he died...) and
his goons firing at Vladamir Lem, yor buddy. Max will knock on the door and
make contact with Vlad. He decides to find an alternate route and help Vlad 
get out of this mess. Vinnie hears this, and decides to send some thugs around
to take care of Payne. Pfft! Is he actually that stupid! Anyway, they will
come out through door to the left near the bar. Blast them away with the
shotgun then head through the door from which they came. 

Run through this small area and out of the door to the right. Another cutscene
will occur. Vinnie, who is out of men decides to bail when he hears the sirens.
After providing cover for himself he rushs over to the door and echoes the 
words "You ****ing pay for this Russian! You ****ing Pay!". After that the
game will switch to the graphic novel.

When the graphic novel scene ends you will start out in your apartment with
everything blurry. A voice will be telling a story very similar to your dream.
You will hear a knock at the door. Go through the door and you will see a
picture of Mona Slipped under your door. Got through the door and then follow
the Hallway to the left all the way until it ends. Go right down the hallway
then left and down the very long stairs. 

Go into the room and look at the lockers to your left. One of them will be 
open, go over to it and a body will come sliding out on a table. Wait a sec
and Mona Sax will appear on one of the tables in the room. Then the phone
on the table will ring. GO over and pick it up. You hear Vlad assuring his
girlfriend everything is going to be alright. Next you hear the cops talking
to you. All of the sudden your body will appear in a street near a cops 
blockade. Run down the street and into the darkness.

You will now appear to be in a Interigation room. Winterson and Bravura will
be talking to you. Once your back into control go over to the desk and pick up
the pistol. Shoot Winterson and Bravura then everything will go white. The
game will now go into Graphic Novel Mode.

Here we are, the chapter of the game. This is where it all ends. As seen with
the previous graphic novel scene, Vlad is not holding back. The game will start
with a cutscene. Woden will tell Vlad to stop, then trys to force him. Vlad
kills woden. Max then starts to strangle Vlad, only to find the vlad detonates
the bomb and makes the floor collapse. When Max and Vlad get up, Vlad cannot
find his gun and runs off. Max stands up and takes the gun from under his 
stomech and decides to finish Vlad once and for all. 

Go in the door ahed of you and kill the agent. Go left quickly and then kill 
the agents you see. A panic room(large silver trailer will crash in the room 
behind you.ar a huge explosion. All the barrels that were scattered around the
area have exploded. Go back out of the panic room and go down the ruined
hallway. There will be two huge holes in the wall, go in the one on the left 
and jump down. Kill the agent here and go quickly into the door in the right
corner. Go up the stairs and across the balcony. Jump over the gap and 
continue down the balcony. Go in the door ahead of you.

Go down the hallway and kill the agent. Go left and through the door to 
continue the chapter. Go up the stairs and kill the agents you find. At the 
top of the stairs is an entrance to another hallway, but its blocked by a huge
plastic barrier. Vlad is behind it talking to you. After a while he will run
away like a little ****ie and leave his agents to guard. Once the barrier 
breaks go into the door ahead of you and kill the agents. Stock up on all the 
guns and ammo in here before you go inside the elevator. 

When you get to the top run out of the elevator and kill the agents. Facing 
out of the elevator run towards the door in the far right corner. The next 
part of this chapter is kinda hard, so prepare yourself. Press the elevator 
button and wait for it to come down. Kill and commandos at the top of the 
elevator. Vlad will run out occasionally, just lay down some fire and he 
should leave you alone. Once the left gets down jump in and press up. Lay down
cover for anyone in your way. When you get to the top head in the door ahead of
you for the final showdown. 

Keep moving around the square platform to avoid Vlads molitovs. Shoot the 
small orange supports holding up the platform to make it fall. Vlad will not
die however, you will need to shoot yet another set of small orange supports
on the pointy thing right above the glass down Vlad is on. When it falls, Vlad
will dodge it. Vlad will not start shooting at you. Whenever he appears, pump
lead in him till he dies. The game will show a cutscene in which Vlads 
platform falls and he flies off to a painfull death. Congratulations, you have
beaten Max Payne 2. Sit back and watch the credits roll.
