You could also select your special enhancements, which activate a set of bonus effects after you kill certain numbers of opponents. Some of the good ones here included the abilities to start bullet time (for everyone in your view), use "paranoia" to confuse enemies maps, and a whole host of others. If you get an organised team, it would be best to spread these abilities throughout your team to build up an effective selection. As many of these enhancements affect your whole team (or the whole enemy team), it's pointless having two of those on the same team. Also, many of them can be cancelled out through other enhancements your enemy can select, so it pays to be aware of what the opposing team are choosing. Of course for the non-team modes, it's every man for himself! | You could also select your special enhancements, which activate a set of bonus effects after you kill certain numbers of opponents.

The big new thing here is [[Crews]] - multiplayer clans you set up on the [[Social Club]] website. The cool thing about this is that any Max Payne 3 clans will continue over to [[GTA V]], and presumably many more Rockstar games in future. You earn extra XP from fighting with members of the same clan, and if you're fighting against members from another clan, feuds start up, which earn you extra XP each time you win. We haven't had much of a chance to play with these yet, but at least Max will give us a good base of teams, teammates and feuds for when GTA V comes along. | |||
My only real complaint with this game was the multiplayer [[HUD]], which showed a range of numbers and scores but I couldn't really understand what they meant. The different teams had two faction names (rather than 'Enemy' and 'Your Team', with the enemy in red and your team in white, and one on the left and the other on the right, but even then it wasn't clear which text/numbers meant what. If a red message said "XYZ died" did that mean they were on your team or the enemy team? I think some simple tweaks to this would make multiplayer make a lot more sense. You shouldn't have to play loads of games to figure out the HUD, it should be instantly recognisable at a glance, even for novices, and unfortunately this wasn't. | My only real complaint with this game was the multiplayer [[HUD]], which showed a range of numbers and scores but I couldn't really understand what they meant.
