I'm considering the rockstar pass. Has MP shown any signs of slowing or losing players? Wondering if it'll be worth it in the long run.

I really don't like how the DLC works in this game. When the new DLC map gets picked the game kicks all the players that don't have the DLC. Now I don't know about you, but I have to be lucky to find a lobby with good amount of players. And there was slight improvement because now I get disconnected about half the time instead of most of it due to that bad data problem.

There's a separate matchmaking lobby for the DLC maps alone.
unless they added that in the last three hours, no there isn't

Just returned from MP3. I have only bought the Local Justice DLC and I have no such option there.

Suddenly derp [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3786647/Max Payne 3 Derp Face.jpg[/t] Also today a bunch of guys kicked me today for apparently cheating, okay then Max Payne community whatever you say. EDIT: Where's my automerge?
Automerge doesn't work after a certain amount of time between posts.
I have few questions regarding the MP3 story. [sp]What was the purpose of killing Rodrigo? He died before Marcello, who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why did Victor decide to get all the family money so suddenly? It seemed like he already got a lot thanks to working with the organ harvesters. And lastly, who attacked the boat in Panama and why exactly? Drugs?[/sp]

And the cracha preto attack the boat in panama because they heard a lot of money was being smuggled across the border and they wanted it.[/sp]
[sp]That was Crachá Preto in Panama? I thought that was some completely different faction.[/sp]
[sp]it wasn't cracha preto, was some kind of militia[/sp]
[QUOTE=Taggart;37211136][sp]it wasn't cracha preto, was some kind of militia[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Paramilitary, Right wing guns for hire that sort of thing.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Taggart;37211136][sp]it wasn't cracha preto, was some kind of militia[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]They were Columbian paramilitaries, referred as AUP. But they don't have much importance.[/sp]

Now I realized another strange part of the story. [sp]Why the fuck Crachá Preto blew up that Branco company. The story really doesn't go into much details how much is Crachá Preto, UFE and Victor working together.[/sp]

That one UFE guy, the second-in-command, then came in, executed Rodrigo, and planted the bomb to destroy all evidence from what I can assume. The Crachá Preto were just unwitting pawns in the entire thing.[/sp]

It also could have been Victor's choice as a fire/explosion insurance related issue. I really doubt the CP would have blown up the building themselves, considering they a)were not in Rodrigo's office and b)specifically came to the building to get Max.[/sp] I think part of the reason the story is a bit sloppy is because Rockstar maybe tried to create the story around specific ideas, betrayal, conspiracies, trying to base it all on movies, etc. and they did their best to tie it all together.
That or they really just wanted to confuse us and keep us thinking until the final revelations.
Ya know, I watched Die Hard yesterday and I realised how similar to John McClane Max becomes towards the end of the game. Hell, there's even a reference to the vent crawling, so I think that the devs were aware of it as well.

Not only the 10+ movies that inspired the Max Payne 3 storyline and design, but also the late night detective noire and Hong Kong kung fu gun battle flicks that inspired the series as a whole. Rockstar people are movie people. [editline]15th August 2012[/editline] shh [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049372536750/B58A00C195E35F5C68D1202B1C0759EA9342870D/[/t]
How do you even play on the cemetery map? There's no playlist for it and I've never seen it come up on a map vote.
Chapter IV part I is impossible for me, the game isn't giving me explosion bonuses for blowing up the cars. Is this happening to anyone else?
[QUOTE=WingedTurtle;37254320]Chapter IV part I is impossible for me, the game isn't giving me explosion bonuses for blowing up the cars. Is this happening to anyone else?[/QUOTE] Hmm, imo that is one of the easiest parts of the game. Are you sure you are thinking of chapter 4?
