Today’s Max Payne 3 update balances weaponry on Xbox 360 and PS3

In an effort to tune weaponry online with "aim to enhance overall balance", Rockstar has released an update for Max Payne 3.

"As promised, we're paying close attention to user-feedback submitted by the Max Payne 3 Multiplayer community to our MaxFeedback@rockstargames.com address, and using that information to help inform dynamic tuning, title updates and DLC content in the works," Rockstar announced.

Todays update, currently live on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, has changes for the RPG, .38 Revolver, DE .50, and the many other weapons in Max Payne 3. The same tuning updates will be made available for PC as well, but Rockstar could offer no timeframe other than "soon".
