Rockstar has announced an interesting solution for dealing with the “miscreants” ruining Max Payne 3’s multiplayer component – move them into quarantine.
Writing on its official blog, the developer revealed that it is aware that “a small minority of players are spoiling the Max Payne 3 multiplayer experience for honest players with cheats and hacks”. But while it hopes to address those issues with an upcoming patch, it also has an additional plan up its sleeve.
The developer 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.
If you happen to spot a cheat, Rockstar has set up an email address designed specifically to collate information on suspected hackers. You can find out more about that through here.

I don't have the game but this is pretty cool. That said I have a feeling people are going to abuse that email and just report anyone that is better at the game than they are lol.
@Splat There'll probably be some people who do that, but I'm sure Rockstar has some sort've system set-up to confirm whether the reported players are really cheaters or not.
