Max Payne 3 free multiplayer DLC out next week

August 22, 2012 8:30 AM

Lest your games of online cops & robbers grow stale, Rockstar today confirmed that Max Payne 3's free multiplayer DLC pack 'Disorganized Crime' will launch next week. With a new map set on the rooftops of Hoboken and new Score Attack modifiers, it'll hit PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 28. It'll also add a cheeky little single-player option for classic noir fans. Headshots Only and Explosive Rounds modifiers will do exactly what they say on the tin when attacking those scores, while Lone Wolf boosts enemies' aggressive tendencies. The single-player Noir Mode "lets you play through the entire single-player campaign in the signature black & white style of classic film noir," Rockstar says. Though the non-stop violence, slow-motion stunts and huge explosions might detract somewhat from this noir-y atmosphere. Following Disorganized Crime, Rockstar plans to put out another three $10 DLC packs, released monthly until October. They'll be included with the DLC season pass, of course.

Ah, glamorous New Jersey!

  Hands down, this has been the worst season pass I have ever bought.
  nothing but dumb maps for whats primarily a single player game. Why does everyone want to artificially extend single player games with dumb multiplayer attachments?
  Make great single player content man!
  Wish I could get my money back.
  This made me gun-shy towards getting season pass for Darksiders 2, that and the fact that Darksiders 2 only has 3 "packs" coming out in the foreseeable future. One of which is an armor set. Reminds me of the whole Horse Armor thing back in the day.

    Wow, really? I was this close to buying the season pass but I figured out I'll wait for price drop or buy separately as they can be significantly cheaper. I also wanted to see whether the MP will still be alive after a while since, like you said, its primarily single player game.
    
    Might as well create a single player content. I dont know, zombie modes on the cemetery? Anything like RDR Undead Nightmare or GTA4's episodes will be better than multiplayer maps and weapons.

    is the multiplayer actually dumb or are you just assuming it is?

      The multiplayer is actually quite fun after I spent some time on it. The only thing I (personally) think is dumb is the fact that its P2P instead of dedicated server (lag, cheaters, and connection issues), no mods, and the 30GB install...
      
      I'd still prefer single player content though.

      Ive played the MP. Its fine for like 2 rounds. But Max Payne just isn't Call of Duty or Gears, its Max Payne. They should focus on great SP content not this hot mess.

        The problem is that SP content requires so much more development effort than some multiplayer maps and modes.

  Gave Max 3 for dead already. MP is not deep enough to hold enough interest, and SP is too much of a chore to replay.
