Rockstar taking action against Max Payne 3 cheats

Rockstar is taking action against multiplayer cheaters in Max Payne 3.

The company revealed that gamers caught cheating will be pooled together and kept away from other players.

A post made on the official Rockstar blog said: “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 event we decide to absolve any of these cheaters for their past transgressions they may re-enter play with the general public, however a second offense will result in their indefinite banishment.

“In either case, we will be removing invalid leaderboard entries to ensure that the players at the top of the charts have earned their spots fairly.”

The studio is appealing for help to catch cheaters, asking players to report suspected cheats by sending the following details to maxpayne3.banhammer@rockstargames.com:

• Platform (PC, PS3 or Xbox 360)
• Cheater's Gamertag/ID
• Description of violation
• Is possible, please include concrete evidence, such as a video or a screenshot
