The Subway

The subway is where the first Max Payne's story gets moving. Max's DEA handler arranges a meeting with his friend and former colleague Alex Balder in a subway station, and while waiting Max stumbles into a shootout with mobsters of Punchinello underboss Jack Lupino, who are robbing a bank through an abandoned part of the subway. Blowing open the subway tunnel door to reach the vault was built as a homage to the elevator-door scene in The Matrix. The Roscoe Street subway returns as one of Max Payne 3's four multiplayer maps.
