First of all I am not reviewing Max Payne's single player. I watched it and only helped my room mate on one part that he was stuck on for a week. It looked like fun and the graphics are amazing. It's like a comic book was a video game that was a comic book. But I'm not a fan of Max Payne as a character. Pessimists or Nihilists are completely irritating to me. Oh this guy is complaining because he is in a rich area of South America which is basically one of the richest areas of the world you can be in. The seperation between poverty and wealth is gross and I don't even care if it's a fucking fictional story. Max Payne keep taking those painkillers so somehow I can get them through the controller because I don't like your complaining. I wish I could ride on a helicopter and shoot rockets in mid air. If I did that once I would die a fine death but he does it three times.
I am going to review the multiplayer. HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?! Well I don't get paid and I don't care. The matchmaking is bad. I started playing probably a week after this game was released (I DIDN't HAVE INTERNET) and the population on each server was less then 300 which basically means that matchmaking means if you get into a match you should be excited. There was a few times that I would be waiting to join a match and not just the game would freeze but the console would. I'm not used to PS3 since it's my roommates but I feel like this shouldn't happen at all ever anymore. Isn't humanity better then this that if the game gets stuck in some makeshift server that doesn't exist that there should be a failsafe to pull you back to atleast the main menu. It can't be too hard.

Next was the segregation. Before you join any game mode you have to pick between soft lock or free lock. Soft is basically auto aim that is harder to get a shot on target then free aim. Free aim is awesome and needs to be implemented in all games. It felt so rewarding hitting headshots from across the map or pulling off amazing quick kills. While playing I only found one weapon that I liked and that is because it had a zoom. I hated the progression. It took forever to level and you only got new guns at 5,10,20 and 40. I only got to 20 and spent all my money on a shitty shotgun. Well my friend did and we made fun of him for a week until we quit playing the game. Also, if you didn't know about max payne, he can slow mo and you can slow mo in multiplayer. There is also a few other perks that helped you in battle like slowing down time while speeding up your reaction time or make you seem like you are on the other team. Level 40's got rocket launchers which instantly made me feel like the game was unbalanced. One shot kills.
Death match was notorious. If you didn't have a class where you could run around as fast as possible with duel wielding guns and pressing the left and right triggers all the time, then you couldn't win. Duel wielding wasn't fair and it felt like I was getting head shotted all the time from sprayers. We used to call these players "Spray and Pray" back in the days! Fuck em'.
The only thing that I would recommend to play is Large Team Deathmatch. Gang wars was just confusing and no one played it and you could bet money. I want a game where I can bet real fucking dough on that. The small maps sucked and the large maps were great because they are Symmetrical like Gears of War which makes me happy. It's fair wherever you spawn. Maps need balance, games need balance, guns need balance and perks need balance. Developers have just been overloading us with customization without caring about what I "perfect builds." Spraying a gun isn't fun. Killing shouldn't be fun if it isn't skillful or you are just a sadistic asshole. Winning isn't everything buddy so calm down with the double uzi's.
