The best Max Payne (1) mods - A to F based on titles
Jump to Part 2 (G to N) or Part 3 (O to Z).
.Regeneration -- Froz
Half Life/System Shock2 style horror mod. The monsters in it charge at you in quite a freaky way, which was enough to give me the squibbles. The background music is....interesting.
The Authentic Matrix Lobby Shootout- Kemical
The first, and arguably the best Matrix Lobby map from Gearbox mapper Kemical. Far from brilliant, or 100% authentic, but definitely well made.
Backstreets - Mph
Two excellent Max Payne style levels from one of the few RMD quality mappers. Too bad the Rave hasn't seen the light of day; fingers crossed it might still appear for MP2.

The Bar -- Mrdfour
Bladerunner -- AEW
Not quite as ambitious as evolution, but certainly a decent Bladerunner themed map. The end cutscene of level 2 is excellent.
Bladerunner Evolution -- StratonAce
Bladerunner: Evolution -- playable and non-playable demos of what was by far the most promising tc in the community. It set a standard which, IMO no other *released* mod has met (except maybe LS4). If you own Max Payne, then you owe it to yourself to check this out.
Sadly the mod was cancelled, for a number of reasons; but you can also download the SDK from fileplanet.

TRAILER
Chateau -- TheHunted
Aesthetically perfect rendition of the Matrix Reloaded Chateau. The MP2 version is more enjoyable though.
Chain Mapping Project -- Ildu, Joonas, Froz, Suprakarma and others
A great, no-holds barred, map pack, akin to the ones you used to get for Duke3d and such like. Some of Ildu's contributions are bordering on RMD quality -- geometry at least.
My only major complaint (other than the fact that the optimisation and gameplay is hit and miss), is that the second level sometimes crashes during loading. Possibly down to texture memory being exceeded - due of the variety of themes and styles per level.
CMP: Reloaded - Suprakarma, Ildu, Joonas, and co.
Excellent followup -- lots of diversity and interesting maps. There should be more of these (you know who you are)
Dodge This -- Dev Kit
I've included this for two reasons.
1) It's as near as we're going to get to playing Dodge This.
2) It's as near as we're going to get to playing Mph's Rave level. :/
Doom -- Jokke_R
Technically perfect remake of the first one and a half levels of Doom. New weapons were made but not implemented.
Fighting the machines/war -- Co&Co
Two excellent Max Payne style levels. A tad too difficult IMO, but both are well made.
