Action man

It looks like Rockstar spent a long time playing Killzone 3 before designing Max Payne 3’s multiplayer component. The title’s narrative based game type, Gang Wars, sounds a lot like Killzone’s Operations mode, with dynamically changing objectives and cinematic cut-scenes punctuating the action.

Thankfully, Max Payne 3 has a few ideas of its own too. Vendettas award you with bonus XP if you’re able to settle a grudge with an opponent. Meanwhile, Crews allow you to team up with other players in order to earn additional XP. Remember, the alliances you form in Max Payne 3 will carry forward into Grand Theft Auto V, so make sure you choose wisely.

You can get a glimpse of the multiplayer in action courtesy of the trailer below. Are you excited about taking Max Payne 3 online, or are you more interested in the single-player campaign?
