Can Anyone Else Confirm This Funny Max Payne Easter Egg/Error/???

[Windogg]

Anyone have this happen to them in Max Payne?

I was replaying the game after winning it on Fugitive level. This time I was going through the Roscoe Street Station can came to the scene after you powered up the Inspection Train and rammed through the barricade. I was entering the abandoned station when something started shooting at me. I looked down and one of the rats had a Beretta and was firing at me. WTH???

I started shooting at the rat and confirmed that he/she/it was indeed the shooter when the game went into slo-mo death.

Anyone else seen this? Kinda amusing actually.

Yeah I caught that. Did you see the hidden room with the remedy team behind the matrix level? Notice one of them looks strangely like Max?

Whaaa?

I never noticed that.

Great game btw, I think I'm gonna play it again soon...it was so addictive though that I'm not sure I should.

To activate the egg.....toss a grenade in the hole in the wall inside the station across from the door with the missing detonator.

How is the Matrix level accessed? Do you have to finish "Hardboiled" or "A NY Minute" first?

Details please.

I wish a game would have a "replay mode" (without the saves) so you could watch it just like a movie to see how you did. (I think I am going to 'cheat' in "god" mode just to see this for its "continuity" [now that I finished it without cheats].)

Go and find the mod that lets you select levels....check at the forums at maxpayne.com for location. It is actually called a bonus level....not really a level....you enter, kill a bunch of guys and on the other side of the room is a picture gallery.
