@ R, the link is dead...

@PIMPAX hey man you are right but just remove the m. and you will get to the link ;)

@almerefreak Got it. Thx bro.

@almerefreak thanks bro

@Tom543 I agree completely , with numerous delays and issues we should see something in return. I really like Rockstar Games, but it's super frustrating how the DLC and Rockstar Pass has been handled . It sucks how all the content is coming out when all these other blockbuster games are releasing . Make a 3x XP event for DLC only or something... get some numbers in the DLC playlist .

@Tom543 I agree as well I want my pass to be transferred into gta V or just get a set of DLC for free.

@R35URR3C73D Yes, the whole point of Max Payne is dual wielding and all out guns blazing action, but some weapons really need a boost up, like the MDL and the AK47, and I sold my copy about two months ago because of the technical issues, now ordered one 1/3rd of the normal asking price. If it still has the same issues I may have to sell it again. Yikes. Rockstar needs to step it up with this game, more free DLC or incentive for people to get back in Max Payne servers again. Discount on the Rockstar pass and the game itself, releasing more patches and more frequently, adding a co-op horde mode(hope this happens in future dlc).

This game needs an overall boost from the developers, immediately.

@TheScarletSnake you can stop asking for a PASS discount...not gonna happen.

@ R35URR3C73D stop whining about small player numbers. you can't play more than 20 people at a time anyway. there is is a core comunity that's "always" around. most of the time they don't whine (unless they can't play) and they stay on board with the innnovation. you don't like it, g-g-g-et out....srsly, all that bullsh*it doomsday talk about how the multiplayer dies and/or is supposedly dead since 2 months or whatever is plain annoying. "shallow, and pedantic."

no need to bring people back. those who quit are quitters, and we don't need those around rly. we're good playing as the "small" community we are. so srsly get over yourselves. you got offered innovation, to the MAX i might say, but you didn't feel comfortable with the fact that innovation takes time to be established. so, go play your deja-vu games then and/or shut your pieholes...and stop talking that "multiplayer dies" bulls**t, cause that's totally not the case. thanks

@noclue_42 you need to stop ur BS !we all like MP3 but it has so many issues...i dont have a pc i got it in my xbox and i have so many problem with the game and i will say 70 % of ppl who plays MP3 are not happy with R* due to all theses problems ....and who ever said r * need to fix the game before its too late is right coz i play the game every day and i know so many ppl who stopped playing the game ppl are disappearing day by day

@ leave the guns alone,dont tuch em

@noclue_42 Happened with LA Noire. The developer has to make a profit on those DLC packs, a discount would mean more buyers.

That "small community" crap doesn't fly, unfortunately. Same thing happened with K&L2. It'll become smaller once the big sharks hit the market this November. It's about a couple of months post launch and everyone I know has sold their games for ridiculous prices. The game is literally forgotten, and none of the shops here are accepting MP3 to trade in, simply because there aren't that many people who're interested. I bought my new copy at a ridiculous price as well. When a game's lifespan is this short, pretty soon you'll have trouble finding anyone to play with. Why do you think the Disorganized Crime DLC pack was made free? Do you think it would've been free if Rockstar was doing good with Max Payne 3? Now judging by your previous answer to the "whiner", who actually pointed out very critical issues in a positive manner, I'll expect some flaming to follow, but you gotta understand, when we come here and point out these facts in a polite manner, it's not because we hate the game, it's because we like it and would want it to be improved.

@TheScarletSnake dude, i hear ya and believe me i'm not saying everything about max payne 3 is dandy and that the sun shining all day (...even though it is but that's not the issue, that's just me doing abstract thinking)... but, "BIG SHARKS" ? really, NO:

compared to the gameplay you're offered in MAX PAYNE 3's multiplayer, everything, out right now and in the near future, looks and will look like very VERY SMALL FISH, to stick with your metaphor. and i think you know it.

NOTHING comes close to the experience max payne 3 offers online. yes there are some issues with the mechanics, but considering how far R* reached out, what R* made possible (even if it's not yet working 100 % all the time, even then) - it is more than any online shooter has ever delivered and it's incredibly adrenaline pushing gameplay that i haven't seen in my 10+ years of gaming. it's unique, ahead of its time. walking away from it? "it aint even a question"

one post on the wire said something about the coding for the pyhsics of the whole movement mechanics, especially in bullet-time in multiplayer, must be so damn through the roof complicated that even stephen hawkings would get a headache looking at it. and while that's exaggerated, it makes a point. this is groundbreaking stuff. so i "don't mind" that there are issues yet to be solved. this is history in the making.

and yes i'm having my fair share of problems with connections too. at least once a day i spend like 30 minutes in lobbies, trying to connect and stuff, but the wait is worth it everytime. i don't give up just because of thse issues. there are quitters, those who give up easy, those who are impatient, those can't see the whole picture, those who don't want to look at it from a wider perspective and so on...but those giving the game a pass because it has some flaws are truly "throwing away" something they will never be able to experience in the near future, if ever again

that's like being offered the chance to spend a night with eva mendez [or some other one of a kind woman (pretty much unreachable) one is attracted to] . the only condition: you have to run a marathon. on your way doing the marathon you realize you also gotta leap "unexpected" hurdles. now because of those unexpected hurdles,do you a) give up and let that fine woman and the once in a lifetime opportunity to spend a night with her slide? or do you b) show some morale and stamina, and leap the hurdles on your way to finishing the marathon?

i am that option b) guy.... i don't throw in the towel that easy. guess i'm not exactly in the majority here, unfortunately, but that's okay. sorry for the wall of post after reading a few lines only, but "BIG SHARKS".....no sir, none in sight, none at all. there is no competition to this game. this game is in a league of its own.

yeah, say the "bugged" league and ignore the point, or try to undestand me aswell. or do whatever you want.
PS: a 100 player community for an epic game is worth more than a dejavu game with millions of players as a community. to me, that is.

@noclue_42 That's not what makes them big, it's how many units it will sell and how many players it will steal from the MP3 community. That's what I meant.

@TheScarletSnake well, if "players" think that there's an alternative to MP3, or that it's worth letting go, their loss. i know ther's a core of players who see the potential in it and who know that there's nothing like it out there. i just need those guys around. so excuse me saying this, but wholeheartedly f*ck the rest.

@noclue_42 Yeah, that's obviously what we think here as well but it's not good for business at Rockstar when they lose customers. That was my whole point, it's about the developers reaching and keeping a certain quota while the game is still in it's prime. That's the last response I'll give out here, I don't think I can make my point any more clearer, and it seems that a lot of people here who understand how these companies keep afloat think the same.

@TheScarletSnake dude i got your point. i'm just sayin show some faith, be patient. if people drop out they willl. R* can't do aynthing about it. either the players "get it" or they don't. seeing those who "get it" are in the minority, doesn't surprise me. the broad mass doesn't cope too well with innovation.

and you don't need to tell R* how to handle their business i think.

@TheScarletSnake The AK47 and MDL are already pretty powerful and are especially good when you level them up. The weight of the MDL is ridiculous though and I think it should be reduced.

As regards to people dual wielding I agree with R35URR3C73D though dual wielded weapons are well too powerful especially two single handed smgs which can't be beaten at medium range by any weapon it's pretty silly. I think dual wielding in MP should be a lot more realistic in that dual weilding makes both weapon's accuracy drop to half. This way people would have to fire them in short bursts to get a kill, slowing them down a bit and evening the playing field considerably.

@noclue_42 Was that irrelevant fecal matter you vomited on screen s'pose to pass for English?

@Burchmore5000132 get a gun

@Dino_jaram get a gun? what do you mean?

@buffari maybe?

@crazycat690 Quoted from the link on this page;

"The Hostage Negotiation Pack will also include two new weapons: the M24 Sniper Rifle and the IA2 Assault Rifle, the new Explosive Burst for explosive booby traps, the Bomb Suit item to protect against explosive damage and the Intimidation Mask item to cause slower reload times for your enemies."

@TheScarletSnake Haha thanks :) I didn't remember hearing about any new weapons but the more the merrier, all this new stuff actually sounds really nice 0_0

@ Great! Can't wait for the map layout images as well!

@SadOldFatMan maybe?

@Meyus-007 i totally second that! for those who don't remember:
