Max Payne 3 MP pits cheaters against cheaters
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 13, 2012 6:00am PDTPlaying against hackers and cheaters in multiplayer games is rarely fun, so now Rockstar is showing them just how it feels. It's hit upon a cruel and unusual punishment for cheaters in Max Payne 3's multiplayer: forcing them to play in a "Cheaters Pool" filled only with other hoodlums.
"Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a 'Cheaters Pool', where they'll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants," Rockstar explains in a blog post.
They'll also be cut from the leaderboards. Rockstar could deign to allow these rapscallions to rejoin civilised society, but will permaban them for a second infraction.
Should you spot any rascals using hacks to become invincible, have infinite adrenaline coursing through their veins, or fiddling with the scores, Rockstar explains how to report them.
Now, if only we could isolate the trash-talking dullards too, all would be right in the online world.
