Max Payne 3 Patch Details

Patches, patches.  Unlike the old days, when the game you got was the game you were stuck with, warts and all (PC excepted, of course), most games see a patch within a month of release, if not on days one.  The freshly released Max Payne 3 patch will improve a number of things, including load times and anti-cheat measures, and will eradicate a few bugs, along with re-balancing the multiplayer modes.  In addition, there is a new Multiplayer Card feature that will show off a myriad of player stats and details.
