|| [1.0] Introduction
||
||==========================================================================||
Max Payne is a great game, a terrific story, memorable characters, cool bullet
time physics. I really wanted to write a FAQ for this game, but there were
already enough so I decided to do one on the Mod that I liked a lot, The
Family. This is a great mod that I suggest you download if you already haven't
The following sites have The Family for download.
Official Site- http://www.3dap.com/maxpayne/thefamily/
Fileplanet- http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/134361.shtml
TGN- http://www.tgnfiles.com/?action=showfile&fid=329&par=96
IMPORTANT NOTE- this guide contains spoilers, albeit not big ones but spoilers
none the less, if you do not like spoilers DO NOT read ahead of where you are
in the game.
PARENTAL NOTE- This guide contains script from the game, and there is a lot of
swearing in this game so there are many swear words such as F*** and many
others. I can not be responsible for any swear words your child learns from
this guide.

9/01/04 Version 2.3 - Fixed things around the guide
- Changed Contact Email Address
7/21/04 Version 2.2 - Did some formatting
- Added Some New Stuff

6/12/04 Version 2.0 - FAQ submitted to GameFaqs
My new version system works differently then my old one. Any FAQ with
1.xx is in pre-postage stage, meaning it has not been posted on GameFaqs, this
is only possible on my upcoming website which will have my upcoming FAQs on
it. If a FAQ has 2.xx that means it was been posted and is still currently
being worked on.

||
|| [2.0] Basics
||
||==========================================================================||
This is the section most beginner will come to, I will try to explain these
as best as I can in 'noob' terms. Since this is a mod for Max Payne, looking at
the basics in the Max Payne FAQs will also be helpful.
NOTE- the name 'Max' will be replaced by 'Tony' as he is the main character in
this mod.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [2.1] Health and Shoot dodging
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Tony isn't invincible, he is not even CLOSE to invincible, he is very
vulnerable to gun fire and can't survive many head on gunfights, so either
move while shooting, use bullet time, or shoot dodge. Moving while shooting
and bullet time will be explained later, while shoot dodge will be explained
in this paragraph. Shoot dodging is when you dodge bullets by hitting [SHIFT]
at the same time as [a] or [d], which are left and right respectively. This
makes Tony jump and go in slow-mo bullet time while he dives toward one side,
depending on which key you hit, [a] or [d].
Once Tony hits the floor, the bullet time will stop, note that Tony cannot
fire when he is recovering from a shoot dodge. A good time to do a shoot
dodge would be where you land behind cover, ex: if Tony is fighting enemies,
and he shoot dodges and fires at his enemies, and then lands behind cover,
Tony will have (hopefully) killed a bunch of enemies and you have (hopefully)
escaped with zero health taken away.
Health in The Family is measured by the person located in your HUD that is
grey when you have full health, and grows in black/red ass you lose more
health. Tony cannot take many bullets before dieing so be sure to dodge as
many bullets as you unleash.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [2.2] Bullet Time
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
As you probably have already heard, Max Payne (The Family in this case)
has a slick mode called 'bullet time', bullet time is activated by hitting
[Right Click] by default, using this is combination with other buttons (1.3)
will cause Tony to do different things.
Bullet time is essential to Tony's success; Tony can only survive so many
battles without bullet time. When bullet time is activated Tony moves slower
and so do enemies, but your aiming remain sat normal speed allowing you dodge
bullets and also provides for some cool slow-mo action.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [2.3] Characters
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
SPOILER NOTE- THIS SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! READ AT OWN RISK!!!
Tony- The main character, he is a regular gum shoe working for the Don so he
can make his rent every month. He is loyal to the Don and deadly to traitors.
He has little emotion and kills in cold blood
Loud Mouth Lenny- The person you bust out of jail in the first mission. Not
much is known about him, but be sure to get plenty of surprises from him later
on in the game
The Don- The Mafia Don, what more can I say, something 'interesting' happens
in the last mission with The Don. Any more I can't say.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [2.4] Installation
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After you DL the file (mirrors above) unzip if zipped. After unzipped find
your folder with max payne.exe in it, if you didn't change it, it should be
this : C:\Program Files\max payne\, put the .mpm file in the folder stated,
and run the game. When it comes to the screen where you choose your resolution
etc, at the bottom open up the list and pick 'the family', then hit start, and
then it should boot up.

|| [3.0] Weapons

||==========================================================================||
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [3.1] Tommy Gun
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------|-Weapons Stats-|---------|
| |
| Clip size- 50 bullets |
| Reload time- Medium |
| Rate of Fire- Fast |
| Accuracy- Poor/Fair |
| |
|---------|-Weapons Stats-|---------|
This is the main weapon in The Family, which is a good thing since this gun is
pretty powerful. It can kill many enemies at once at has a great firing rate.
Unfortunately it has horrible aim and sometimes your crosshairs will be in one
place, but the bullets will go 3 feet higher than the crosshairs, which is
bad. Despite the aim problems this gun is great is almost any situation.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [3.2] Colt 1911
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------|-Weapons Stats-|---------|
| |
| Clip Size- 12 Bullets |
| Reload time- slow |
| Rate of fire- low |
| Accuracy- good |
| |
|---------|-Weapons Stats-|---------|
I don't use this gun much, as long as you have a Tommy gun this gun is pretty
much useless, use only if you run out of ammo for your Tommy Gun.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3.3 Sawed off Shotgun
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------|-Weapons Stats-|---------|
| |
| Clip Size- 2 Shells |
| Reload Time- Medium |
| Rate of Fire- Medium |
| Accuracy- good |
