Rockstar Games has revealed the pre-order bonuses for Max Payne 3.
The full listing on Rockstar’s site has details on retailers in Australia, Spain, France and Germany; here, we’ll just focus on UK outlets:
- GAME customers get the Cemetery multiplayer map, which we first heard about late last year.
- Pre-orders from Tesco Get the Silent Killer multiplayer loadout pack. This kits you out with a Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW), a listening device that helps you to hear approaching enemies, and the Slippery Character Burst – which appears to be some kind of evasive perk. Can’t say that an anti-tank rocket launcher sounds particularly “silent”, but as Tesco says, every little helps.
- Finally, if you pre-order from Play you’ll get a code for the game’s first paid-for DLC. We don’t know what that is yet.
Max Payne 3 will be released on March 16 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The first paid DLC will probably be owned by more people in the long run, so from a multiplayer perspective it might make sense to plump for the Play deal. Then again, we don’t know what it is yet: it could be a pack that replaces all the guns with sticks of French bread, and then no-one would buy it.
Actually, I’ve changed my mind – that sounds fun!
