Max Payne Cheaters Given A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

Rockstar yesterday announced the grand opening of its “Cheater Pool” across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Previously outlined in an earlier post, this latest update allows the Max Payne 3 team to manipulate matchmaking parameters for anyone caught cheating/hacking the online multiplayer.

Whether caught by Rockstar themselves, or grassed-on by fellow players, cheaters are tagged and then thrown into an arena with their own kind. It sounds like a great system for two reasons; not only does it keep regular players happy, but the Cheater Pool could be an insane playground for those who experiment with hacks/cheats.

  1. Great, more games companies should do this.

  2. Wish they’d done this years ago on COD4(MW) .
    See how they like not being able 2 shoot opposition – every game would last indefinitely

  3. I heard a rumour theres a cheat to make the game enjoyable!
