Hey Rockstar!
Quick and simple question:
Does Rockstar consider people who user modded controllers cheaters? [modded controller meaning: a controller where the rate of fire is increased to impossible levels by tampering with it.]
YES or NO ?

You should do one dor campers too.

This is the first time I posted anything on here, but im just fed up with with BS on multiplayer. Not more than 10 mins ago I was on RDR trying to get some x3 xp and gamertag (Average Demigod) thought it would be funny to destroy me over and over with his rifle with automatic exploding rounds, When I said "thats messed up im going to report you" he openly admitted he is a modder and not the only one in the room, and also threatened to freeze my xbox. I went to another room and he followed me there continuing his BS, went to another room again and nothing worked right, buttons were doing different things, it was ridiculous. Again his xbox gamertag is Average Demigod, again Average Demigod. I'm up to my ears with this s**t, it completly ruins any chance of having any fun or even competing to rank up. sorry for the long post but please do something about him and the others, it's not right.

On Xbox 360 there is a cheater who's gamertag is ESE KILLIN 562, he is totally invisible in every match i've seen him in and at lvl 10 he was able to beat multiple players at different legends ranging from 3 (Myself) to 6, his score was 30 kills to 3 deaths, those 3 deaths were from me blind firing the sawed off and throwing grenades into his general area, will you get rid of these players because they're ruining online multiplayer for a lot of people and its really frustrating when you keep coming across people that cheat!

Hey R*, it's the third time that I get expelled from a good game because of "cheating". Of course no cheats at all were used, so I consider this behaviour a big fat BUG. Please fix it soon, 'cause it's getting really annoying :|

Gow-Aries1 is a cheater and a serious spawn camper on Max Payne 3 for the Playstation 3. This punk uses a modded PS3 console with an aimbot and a modified controller. He can usually be found spawn camping hardcore with his girlfriend christ-3-16. That is if they are on the same team. Their cheap gaming tactics really become clear when they are on opposite teams. One of them spawn camps hardcore getting all the kills while the other one takes multiple kills leaving his team at a severe disadvantage. Its cheaters like Gow-Aries1 and christ-3-16 that are ruining the multiplayer aspect of Max Payne 3.

If you are placed in the cheater pool can you belong to a crew?

i think the cheaters pool is a good job on your part rockstar but the way you guys go about finding these guys puts people in a spot alot of times i reported to you guys a while ago back about a person who was cheating and i had everything i needed besides a dang video of the person cheating and since then ive run into that guy several more times and i just keep having to back out of my matches cause the person just flat out ruins the match when they start that mess you guys are gonna have to check up on these people also ive been in alot of matches as of late where there were cheaters and they somehow have a low rank level but have all the level 40 weapons. either way i wanted to let out the fact of you guys makeing it harder for us to turn in the cheaters than it is worth to catch them. and hopefully yall can consider doing some things differently when it comes to catching these guys

I just hope once GTA V comes out you guys have the cheating in multiplayer in check cause the cheating on GTA IV is out of control. Everyone has modded Turbo controllers and frag sticks which increases there guns firerate so beginners and people who don't have modded controllers can't compete. If they don't have it under control GTA Vs MP will be doomed once it starts.

Great idea

What I wanna know is how do people distinguish hackers/modders from regular, honest players?

The thing is, Ive had several people complain to me and my teammate of cheating even though we are not doing anything and using the weapons, bursts and items to make superior loadout builds to make us win, how is that cheating or hacking?

I think people who are losing or dying a lot fail to realize that their not knowledgeable enough about the game to be pointing fingers without actually knowing for sure who is and isn't a cheater/hacker.

As an example, a player accused my teammate of having a modded Mini - 30 that was fully automatic, but in reality he was just using the Super Sport shotgun.

I know we all hate cheaters and modders but people need to learn about the game as well before passing judgement.

Going to agree with recent posters complaining hackers/modders are bypassing whatever catches have been put into place. So not only do regular players who want to enjoy the multiP of MP3 are getting owned in record droves by these people you also now have to add in, people degrading their connections so they get the lag compensator and why do we have to be constantly subjected to the whole world and not just our own nation? Ever play multiP TDM when your whole team speaks 4 different languages??

Excellent job on the singleplayer, absolutely horredous disastrous job on the multiplayer. Last rockstar game I ever purchase.

Hey Rockstar!
I would like to ask if there is any possibility to implement a voting system to kick the cheaters out like in gta4? Or by direct expulsion if the host decides that. Or maybe you could immediately detect and contain a cheater who gets too many head impacts and it is impossible to die. But at least let the players have the right to vote who stays and who goes, it would be a better way than sending an email and wait until you have time to read it.
Thanks and greetings from Argentina! (and sorry for my bad english).

This has done nothing. They are getting around it. So sad that you guys can't stop this. Last night dude had 50 kills and 10 deaths? So lame. So glad you guys are on top of this.

you wanna sort GTA iv full of hackers SORT IT OUT I PAID £ 75 for the game sort it out if i have to wait for V i want you to sort out IV. thanks from a loyal customer whos had them all. one thing is you not very good at getting rid of these hackers are you R* the only thing that letsyou down. and red deadis the same sort it please

I've noticed this weekend a distinct lack of players with a rank of Legend 3 and over. Certainly there were one or two but not in the abundant number as in previous weeks. I'm not sure if there's any correlation between this and the introduction of the Cheater Pool, but it definitely is noticeable.

By the way Rockstar ... how many gamers have been consigned to the Pool? Are you in the position to give a ballpark figure?

pc
mati30067 and 1_andrei_1 - cheaters, they not dying, have a lot of ammo

glad R* is takin this step! as a daily Gta 4 player it is so annoying to see bunch of hackers ruin the servers and there is nothing to do against them!
I hope the Cheater's Pool is used in future games.
