Rockstar Game Tips: Tailoring Your Controls in Max Payne 3
Max Payne 3 was designed to offer players an immense amount of customizable control with four unique controller configurations along with easily adjustable sliders providing unique ways to tune the game to your liking:
CONTROLS
Max Payne 3 provides four contrasting controller configurations for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 version (PC users also have fully mappable controls).
Type 1
The default control layout keeps Shootdodge™ and Bullet Time® accessible without having to take your hands off of the aim or movement sticks.
Type 2
Type 2 configuration puts cover on a shoulder button for those that are used to layouts from previous Rockstar titles like Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire.
Type 3
Similar to the default layout but this configuration swaps reload and Bullet Time® buttons for players who want to maintain aiming while reloading.
Type 4
The most notable difference with this configuration is that sprinting is swapped with going into crouch or prone and is now done by clicking down on the left analog stick.
In addition to those four main types of controller configurations, lefties can also select a Southpaw control option which swaps the movement and camera control functions between the left and right sticks. You also have the ability to alter both the horizontal and vertical aiming speed between 10 different settings designed to fine tune the rate at which the camera moves when using the analog stick, and can further customize by adjusting Aim Acceleration, which controls how quickly the camera reaches full rotation speed when moving to the left or right. And of course you have the option to invert both the horizontal and vertical movement controls.
TARGETING
As mentioned in a previous edition of Max Payne 3 Game Tips, the single-player game offers 3 unique targeting settings for players of varying skill levels (Hard Lock, Soft Lock and Free Aim). Soft Lock and Free Aim are also selectable for the game's multiplayer modes, with those specific players segregated in multiplayer accordingly. Beyond the core targeting options, there are also a number of additional targeting-related options that you can adjust, including:
Target Tracking
This option, which is set to ON by default, offers a subtle assist when tracking enemies on the move.
Target Slowdown
This assist reduces your aiming speed slightly when the reticle is close to an enemy.
Reticle Settings
Diagrammed in an earlier edition of Max Payne 3 Game Tips, there are three distinct reticle settings:
* Default: A white dot reticle that changes red when over an enemy.
* Weapon Specific: A reticle that changes based on the weapon Max is carrying
* All White: Similar to Default, but without the transition to red when over a target.

1. Couldn't connect to host(I don't mind, as long as it doesn't continue for 4 more retries)
2. I'm put in a game with no one else...for whatever reason.
3. 1 or more players is using an infinite health hack, making it impossible to even compete.
Rockstar....What the hell.
I didn't pay 60 dollars so I could run into a bunch of issues that can be easily solved.
Pay attention to your customers, get dedicated servers, and get a damn anti cheat system.
I don't see why it's so challenging for such a successful company to get there multiplayer straight.
Very dissapointed. Fix your s**t.
Good tips :)

- an option for hold the right clic or not as in GTA IV and cancel when i run or made a roulade ...
- add a line to run and made a roulade (hold for running and press fast 2 times to made a roulade (I run with the lateral button of the mouse n°4)
- reduce the time you press the button to lie down, it's realy so so long
- cancel the crouch when you push the boutton to run (maybe add 2 line, one to crouch and the other to lie down)
- can't build the scroll of the mouse, the wheel of weapons is always present
an Extra
- if you don't use the wheel of weapon, another more discrete interface would be really nice
- create a public room with a list of these room create as in GTA IV
PS : with DX 11, 10.1 & 10 sometime the screen trembles with a constant 60 FPS :( , I have to play in DX9 for the game is 100% fluid, I hope we will have a fix soon
