Max Payne 2: The Fall Of Max Payne Official Mod Contest - PC

30th December 2003, 8:59pm
Almost anyone can write a decent game mod, create a map and then distribute it to other gamers who play it for a few weeks until the next one comes along. Only the true innovator can create an elegant and complex mod in a specified time period.

Only a talented few are interested in elevating the mod community into the realm of high art...

By rewarding the talents and resources of a worldwide community of aspiring game developers and artists, the Max Payne 2 Official Mod Contest is a catalyst for talented individuals intimately familiar with game mods as well as those who might have never attempted to create a mod before.

The Max Payne 2 mod contest publicly recognizes and rewards talented individuals across the globe that create the most compelling mods in three categories. Winners will be judged by representatives from Remedy, Rockstar, Computer Gaming World and Shacknews. Winners in all categories will have their mods included on CGW's monthly CD, as well as made available for download from the official Max Payne 2 site and a variety of mod community sites around the net.

The three categories are:

  • Best Original Mod - expand the gameplay of Max Payne 2 with a completely original and imaginative creation.
  • Best New Dead Man Walking Level - create a compelling new level for the Dead Man Walking play mode.
  • Best Real-Time Non-Interactive Movie - using the MaxED tools, create the best entry in the new art form known as machinima.
Thousands of dollars worth of prizes are up for grabs, from a fully-customized Falcon Northwest gaming rig to a top-of-the-line ATI graphics card to a wireless keyboard and mouse combo from Logitech. All winners will also receive a prize package filled with Max Payne 2 swag. Check the official mod contest page for more details on the prizes.

Deadline for entry is May 15, 2004. To enter, visit the official mod contest page at http://www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne2/contest
