Max Payne 3 cheaters made to play with other Max Payne 3 cheaters

13 June 2012

Nobody likes a cheater, but at a guess, I’d say cheaters like other cheaters even less than everybody else. The whole point of cheating, after all, is to get one up on other players, and a cheater can’t do that when all the other players are also cheating. So what? Make them play together anyway.

That was the big idea over at Rockstar HQ, when they decided that rather than banning cheaters in Max Payne 3, they’d simply put them in a special corner with the other cheaters and let them hate each other.

“We’re aware that a small minority of players are spoiling the Max Payne 3 multiplayer experience for honest players with cheats and hacks, and while certain issues will be dealt with in forthcoming title updates, today we’d like to make it clear that anyone using these nefarious methods will be dealt with,” reads a warning over on Rockstar’s site.

“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.”
In the words of Megamind, “Ell oh ell, smiley face.”

    Its fantastic actually, at the end cheaters would either have to start a group (which groups dont like cheaters, though my theory is flawed as seen on BF3) however, their match making system is made to search.So it must work.
