Rockstar updates on delayed Max Payne 3 DLC, offers free weapons bonus to Social Club members

Rockstar has offered an update on the status of its Max Payne 3 Hostage Negotiation Pack DLC. Originally scheduled for release in September, the extra content will now be available “later this fall” for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live or £7.99/$9.99 on PSN and PC. Rockstar Pass owners will receive it free of charge.

As a goodwill gesture to fans waiting for the delayed DLC, Rockstar also announced it will release an “all-new chrome weapons bonus, which will be redeemable by all Social Club members free of charge.”

The Hostage Negotiation Pack contains four new multiplayer maps (Club Moderno, Estádio Do Galatians, O Palácio Strip Club and Favela Heights), two new weapons (M24 Sniper Rifle, IA2 Assault Rifle), and new items (Explosive Burst for explosive booby traps, Bomb Suit for explosion protection, and Intimidation Mask which inflicts slower reload times on enemies).

We’ll have more Max Payne 3 DLC news as its announced.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
