Max Payne 3 - Continue glitch (2-7) effects in Chapter 3
2Chapter 2-7's is one of the more noteworthy variations of Continue glitch, so here's some more examination of it.
0:00 - Chapter 3-3. The level lighting is mostly normal. The most strange thing is that Max starts with MINI-30 and can use it while playing onward in the level. Max even holds it out during cutscene instead of his pistol, which looks overcompensating, if nothing else.
1:05 - showing some more cutscenes around the level with Max wielding MINI-30. This is from Chapter 3-5.
1:50 - Finally, the game glitches up when you reach the sniper section at the end of Chapter 3-11. The preceding cutscene looks a little weird as there are two Passoses in it - one frozen in the office and other doing cutscene motions. Afterwards Max is stuck in place instead of the sniper scene starting, and retrying just buffers the retry. I think this softlock does not happen if Max is carrying at least one other weapon with him during this time.
2:46 - Chapter 3-9. Max starts the Checkpoint high above the Stadium green with MINI-30 in his hands. He then falls down and dies.
You can prevent death using glitched Pause-menu. Now you are back to where the level started and are able to explore the area, or even fight the enemies that can be seen in the distance in one part of the Stadium. You can retrace your steps back to Chapter 2-3 area, but there is no elevator or anything new to do there.
7:09 - two bonus clips from this exploration session.
7:29 - Chapter 3-14. Things have returned to relative normalcy. Some gameplay from the end level with Max wielding MINI-30.
8:31 - Chapter 3-15. The Checkpoint begins normally, but only after a few seconds Max disappears and won't slide down the roof. At the end of the set piece, Max is shown to still be on the roof from where he started, and he is unable to hit the bad guy downstairs before the timer runs out. But after retry, things are pretty much back to normal.
(Not on the vid: Chapter 3-4 to Chapter 3-8 as well as Chapter 3-10 and 3-11 are normal and not worth showing separately. Just Max starting the level at the respective Checkpoint wielding MINI-30.)
(Not on the vid: Chapter 3-12 and 3-13 cause a softlock.)
