To simulate the bullet time effect, Max can also execute a shoot-dodge maneuver. The meter will eventually increase when not in use, and can be replenished quickly by killing enemies. When in use, the bullet time meter will decrease until it is either empty or the player disables bullet time mode. In this mode, the screen's color changes to a sepia tone to act as a visual cue. Max Payne 2 allows the player to enable bullet time, a mode that slows time, while still allowing the player to aim in real-time, to give the player more time to determine what they want to do.
