Max Payne 3 emerging in March 2012, multiplayer included

Max Payne 3 will launch on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2012. That's the word from Rockstar Games, which has been nothing short of enigmatic during the game's protracted development.

The third-person slow-mo shooter sees Max traveling to São Paulo, Brazil, and protecting a family targeted by society's more illicit elements -- he might have gotten better at doing that sort of thing since the first game.

His solo criminal crackdown is accompanied by a multiplayer mode, which marketing guys describe as "a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match." You can also expect the obligatory leveling system, clans and load-out selection.

To steel yourself for said "compelling experience," we suggest you stock up on testosterone, John Woo movies (not Windtalkers, obviously) and facial expressions that convey either familial anguish, or excessive chili burrito consumption.

oh boy multiplayer, just what a single player oriented game needs.....

Multiplayer, not sure if want, hopefully R* make it work though, as there's bound to be a few trophies tied to the online portion, can't wait for the SP though.

Oh, great. Hopefully the multiplayer isn't tacked on and doesn't include ridiculous over-the-top trophies.

For a game that's well known for being single player oriented, lets hope the MP doesn't feel tacked on.

Glad we finally have a release date for this though, thanks for posting!

I'm so happy as well, I can't wait !

Hope there won't be too annoying multiplayer trophies... My biggest interest is for the story mode.
