Thanks rem.

I kinda used your technique, but I camped on the table in the closest back corner of the room, owned the guys on the balcony, and the guys that ran at me. Save. Then I ran near the entrance, got on the table and owned from there. Save.Then moved right across the hall, using the pieces of hanging cloth to defend me from bullets and fire.
After the dudes were dead, I just whipped out the dual ingrams before the cutscene kicked in. Afterwards, save. Then just kept my mouse button planted and moved my sights from side to side 'till all the people were dead.

Next mission was just weird. I was paranoid as hell about some scary shit happening. Like, I feared being scared about it, lol?

Haha. Yeah dude I didn't know if the red curtains were bulletproof .

Jesus fuck, I can't believe how long it has been since I fired this game up. I can't even remember. I guess I should start playing again...

Wow, 2 in just two hours? You're really obssesed in Max Payne!!

Anyone know the chapter where there are wall mouths that are moving? Some which have vampire teeth?

[rockstarrem]

It was really less then 2 hours, it's ridiculous how easy it is for me now.

Less than 2 hours? wtf? I can't even finish it in 4 hours!

TEF can confirm, he watched the whole thing.

Yeah so I haven't played (or posted here) in ages, and I'm literally at the scene right after the last time I posted. I'm on 'the baseball bat' and I'm having a bit of trouble. The best method I've had so far is to run out in the corridor to get the guy's attention, then sit on the left edge of the door, let them filter through and then own them one by one.

LOL the same is with me dude.

That's the way I beat it the first time I played Max Payne on PS2, it's a pretty cheap but very effective way of doing it.

I'm not sure how you're really "supposed" to do it but the last time I played it (PC version) I went down the hallway to the right following the two guys, hit them with the baseball bat, used whatever weapon was dropped on the guy who came out of the garage door ahead of me, turned around, shot those guys who had previously been coming up the left corridor, then from there (through several quicksaves, of course) I think I just cleared out the central garage.

After all this I found out that off the right hallway there is a room chock-full of ammo and guns with no enemies so I assume you're actually supposed to follow those two guys at a distance and then duck into that room and come out guns blazing

As for do I still play Max Payne: Yes, I do. Both games are fairly short, so I usually play them straight through back to back! Not all at once, of course, but it doesn't take more than three-to-four days to beat both of them, really, especially if you've played them once.

As for having to play these two to understand Max Payne 3, from what I'm seeing so far the plot/tone of 3 seems pretty far removed from these two so it might not be required. They're both awesome games though so I highly recommend it.

I just found the disc to the first Max Payne for PC - I'm gonna try emulating it with Cedega.
