We’ve already passed on details about the pre-order loot that early birds in the United States will get with their reservation money, that being early access to the Cemetery multiplayer map. Europe will be getting that same online arena by pre-ordering from the following retailers:
UK: Game
AU: EB Games
DE: GameStop
ES: GameStop
FR: Micromania
What’s more, players in select European countries and Australia will be able to more multiplayer goodies for their pre-order buck. With the Silent Killer pack, you can get the chance to wield the powerful Light Anti-Tank Weapon, flee from danger with the Slippery Character Burst to quickly escape a deadly firefight, or use the Listening Device Item that amplifies player hearing so you can hear enemies approaching you from a greater distance. Here’s the where and who for that:
UK: Tesco
AU: GAME
DE: Amazon
ES: Fnac
FR: FNAC
BE: GameMania
Americans will be getting all the Silent Killer stuff, too, but Rockstar’s not yet revealing who you can pre-order to get it from. However, Yankees who pre-order from Best Buy will get Max Payne 3‘s first multiplayer DLC pack for free. All Aussies and Europeans ordering in the following places will get the same multiplayer DLC pack gratis, as well:
UK: Play
AU: EB Games
AT: GamesOnly
CH: WOG
ES: GAME
FR: GAME
NL: BartSmit
Here’s hoping Max Payne 3‘s multiplayer is worth all this pre-ordering.

Let’s face it, if you are seriously interested in a game, you are going to have it pre-ordered at your local retailer anyway, publishers shouldn’t be making the customers jump through hoops when they were already going to pre-order the game in the first place.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 8:28 AMI think the ‘Cemetary’ Multiplayer map is a pretty convincing example of ‘Why I don’t think Rockstar will deliver a game that fits with the existing franchise.’
Though that’s not counting the multiplayer mode/preorder nonsense in general.
I wonder why they didn’t try a spin-off or reboot… it would have been easier and made a lot more sense.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 8:49 AMThis is one more game that I’d be really happy to pay a little less to buy just the single player.
I really wish games were something like $40 single player only, $40 multiplayer only, $70 if you buy them both together.

Either option just pisses me off.
Pre-order bonuses. Fucking stupid.
