In a post on its official blog, Rockstar has today announced that anybody who uses hacks, mods or other exploits to cheat in Max Payne 3's multiplayer mode, will be quarantined from the rest of the players and their leaderboard entries will be removed.

"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." it explained.

"Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer 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."

Rockstar is also asking players to report any suspected cheaters by emailing the following information to maxpayne3.banhammer@rockstargames.com:
  • Platform (PC, PS3 or Xbox 360)
  • Cheater’s Gamertag / ID.
  • Description of the violation.
  • If possible, some concrete evidence, such as a video or a screenshot.
