Rockstar announced the Rockstar Pass for DLC is available for preorder starting today. $30 (said to be over 35% discount compared to purchasing packs individually) will cover multiple packs being released through the fall. More detail is on the official website and should definitely go in the OP.

Edit: I think a majority of console players will be on Xbox. I can put a metatag together when I get home tonight if enough people are interested.

FYI - "Each private Crew can have up to 250 members, and you can belong to up to 5 Crews at a time. Public Crews are created by Rockstar (known as Rockstar Crews) and there is no limit on those. Much more on Crews next week - get ready!"

No Dead Man Walking?

I'd be surprised if DMW isn't a playable mode. They seem to be releasing bits and pieces of info at a time, stringing everyone along until next week.

In other news, I'm so pumped for this drat game. What should we name the crew for Xbox goons?

Rockstar posted:

When creating a Crew, leaders have the option to select one of five Crew types:

ALL-STARS -- The elite who strive to hit the top of the Leaderboards and want to play with and against the very best.
SOLDIERS -- Those who know the only way to win -- by showing your enthusiasm for teamwork ... Teamwork.
REBELS -- They’re here to get the party started or to ruin it -- sometimes both.
THRILL SEEKERS -- For those who prefer anarchic mayhem to ranking up and getting cheevos.
CHATTER BOXES -- For the gregarious socialites of the Rockstar Games Social Club. Shoot the gift.

Rockstar posted:

Stand out among the crowd with a custom emblem and four-letter Crew tag to represent your faction in game and on the web. All Crew members can utilize the vast library of shapes available in the Social Club Emblem Editor to create one-of-a-kind designs right here on the web and import them into Max Payne 3, where they’ll appear on stat screens and multiplayer avatars.

Found these tasty little treats on the Social Club website. I also found out that Crews Pre-Registration begins tomorrow, May 9th. If there are no objections, I'd be glad to create/maintain the main goon crew tomorrow.

I'm thinking Thrill Seekers or Chatter Boxes just for the name of them, but the description of Rebels just makes me so goddamned happy. The tag should obviously be BOYS since it enrages people to the nth degree.

I did mention I was going to create a crew last night :/

Regardless, you can be in up to 5 crews. If he wants to join L&L, that's fine! If he wants to turn his into PS3 or leave it as it is, that's fine. I don't even care. All I know is L&L is here to stay as an Xbox goon group.

Might be worth stating that we should probably post your rockstar name thing here so that I don't think you are some weird pubbie trying to fill up our crew.

I apologize if invites are being weird. Weebly and SCUMFCKTRADITION still show as outstanding requests despite the fact that I've approved them about 5 times now and Scum even shows up in the members list.

I'm kind of disappointed I can't manage the crew to change the clan tag whenever we feel like. Having the crew name and tag hard locked kind of stinks, but oh well. So puuuuuuumped!

I went through all the crew members we have in Lords and Ladies to verify if everyone was a verified goon with an Xbox account linked to their Social Club ID. The following infractions have been found! PM me before Friday if one of the Social Club ID's listed below belongs to you so I don't kick you :]

TheNBadger (only has a PSN ID linked)

EmceeShoeshine

The list below are confirmed goons, but don't have gamertags linked up/are not confirmed Xbox dudes. Since it's an Xbox group, you should probably link up your account so I know you aren't some weirdo PS3 guy just lurking around :/

Lords and Ladies Crew Update!

I'm putting my foot down on requiring all L&L members to have an XBOX account tied to their Social Club account. I know we are going to seeing an influx of people wanting crew invites after the game drops and it will be easier to manage if I can confirm everyone on the list will actually be able to play with each other.

The following SA Users don't currently have a LIVE account tied to their Social Club account. I'll give you through the end of the weekend to update your account or PM me telling me you're a PS3 lurker or whatever.

Rageaholic Monkey, if you wouldn't mind updating the L&L Crew blurb in the OP to state that any L&L applicants need to have their LIVE account linked in order to be approved, it'd be appreciated. I requested this already be made in the Crew Invite thread.

Thanks y'all.

I've had my GT linked since GTA4 came out, and I can see it on the Social Club site when I log in.

I'm guessing you figured it out because I still got a crew invite somehow.

Wasn't showing up this morning when I went back to double check, but I see it's all good now.

I've been keeping a list of SA Usernames/Social Club ID's/Gamertags/PSN ID's for everyone that has been approved or pending so far. Almost everyone is set except for the remaining perps on the list above!

I'll be leaving work and heading home to pick up my copy shortly. I'll definitely be going through a bit of the single player first, but probably only spend an hour or so there before needing to try out multiplayer. I'll hit you up when I get online.

Side bar for people wanting invites to L&L: You need to link your LIVE account and set that and your Social Club profile to public or you won't get invited into Lords and Ladies. Also, put your requests in the invites thread so it doesn't get missed in the hype posts. Please and thanks!

For anyone interested watching a full Gang War game, here's a BOYS game from last night in full:

Gang Wars tends to run a bit long, video is around 20 minutes long, but it's a good watch for anyone interested to see how Multiplayer and Gang Wars works.

God, I was getting so boned before I found out the glorious combo that is the 1911 and the Beretta. It's crazy how quickly things turn around once you focus on using ONLY akimbo pistols.

I have the day off today, so I'll probably finish up the campaign then play multiplayer on and off for the rest of the day.

If you submitted a request for Lords & Ladies that hasn't gone through yet, please repost your info in the Crew request thread.

I have been skipping over a lot of posts in this thread because I don't give a poo poo about reading everyone's opinion of the single player. I have occasionally seen a few requests which I've managed to snag up and approve. Unfortunately, we have a LOT of pubbies trying to get in and it's hard for me to know who is who without you dropping your info out in the Crew thread.

I've got a lot of free time today, which I plan to spend almost all of in multiplayer. Hope to see some of you dudes around.

Spent all night wanting to play with my BOYS bros and kept getting thrown into other lobbies and having our group split up and fighting against each other. So. loving. Annoying. I hate not being able to play with my bros more than I hate rifles and not being able to skip cut scenes when replaying single player combined. I really, REALLY, hope Rockstar can addresses this in a patch.

Hell yeah. I've got one class with an exmags 1911 and Mac-10 and another class with akimbo exmags 1911. All 1911's are gold of course

Concerning the second flashback (and if thats too spoilery Ill change it)WHERE THE HELL ARE THE GRAVES? WHERE ARE THEY? I swear I looked at every singe one and could not find the evidence

The easiest way to do this is to just do a youtube search for whatever the clue name is. I ended up having to do that for those particular clues as well. This also works for tracking down golden gun pieces if the descriptions on the Social Club site are a little too vague.

To be honest, ever since they nerfed the amount of money you get from Max/Passos, you can probably get more just looting every corpse you see in a regular TDM or gang wars match.

I had no idea they nerfed that. That kinda sucks. Is there a list somewhere of all the changes made through the patch? I noticed in one of the main menus when you first boot up the game that there is an email address provided to forward along feedback. I wonder how responsive rockstar will be to the things that come through that channel. Here is a link to the rockstar post from the menu screen along w/ the email address.

Also, playing through the Hoboken levels in Max's laundry day clothes is loving hysterical. When you start Part 2 of that map in arcade, it's like Max got busted in on while in his undies and didn't have time to get dressed.

You dual wield M1911s at weapon rank 5. Until then, just use one if those and a PT92. Kills while dual wielding count as a kill for both if the weapons.

Though, personally I prefer dual PT92s with extended mags. 25 rounds of justice in each hand

You sure it counts for both? I was pretty sure only counted as a kill for whatever gun did the killing. It wasn't until I started running a single 1911 that it really started leveling up.

Question to anyone who got their copy from amazon (pre-order,) how do you go about getting the "Death Force Burst"? It didn't seem to come included with the normal pre-order code stuff, unless it's unlocked later on.

This is for Xbox, but I was emailed a code the same day I received the game. I redeemed it and once I was high enough level to create a class I could choose it as my burst.

Rolling is the best. You can reload while you roll which pretty much means you should be roll-loading every time you are on the move and need some fresh ammo.

Also, you can do awesomely bad rear end stuff while rolling. For example, yesterday I was chasing some turd around Branco HQ with my 500 when I ran out of shells. Instead of stopping and reloading, I continued chase. I ditched the shotgun, rolled, and immediately launched myself into a shoot dodge with my 608 bull blazing. It looked so loving smooth and incredible.

This game really lets you have amazing moments. That was definitely one of the best so far.

Also, soft lock playlist are terrible and unfortunately, judging by the player list, that's where most of the players are at. Doesn't seem like a good idea to split the player base.

Soft lock 4v4 TDM isn't all that bad, especially when you need to level up shotguns. The smaller map sizes usually cut down on the retards using sniper rifles. You can pretty much own unlimited bones with a single 608 bull in soft lock tdm games.
