Current Events > How exactly does the multiplayer mode in Max Payne 3 work?

(+) Yeah! (+)

For as long as I've owned the game, I never touched the MP.

Like, when you jump through the air in slow motion is everyone around you still moving regularly?

From what I remember it slows down you and anyone in your line of sight, as well as anyone else who's looking at you (players that are behind you, for example). I think you had to select it as a perk, too. On top of that you got buffs to your rate of fire and maybe weapon damage?

It's been a really long time though so I might be misremembering some details. I do remember the multiplayer being quite good fun but the rewards for levelling up were drip-fed so it could be a bit of a slog getting the next useful weapon or ability.

I'm a bit confused :/

I found this diagram that might help clear it up a bit:

It's from this: https://www.polygon.com/2012/11/14/3560244/max-payne-3-multiplayer-bullet-time-bursts-and-player-customization

That should give a much better description than my vague memories. It's still fairly convoluted though!

Wait, I was just joking but there are people running around normally while you're in slo-mo?

Yeah, basically anyone uninvolved in that particular firefight. As soon as one of those players looked at you/came in to your vision they'd go into slowmo too.
