When I think of the Max Payne series, I think of immersive story. While the very concept of a multiplayer in the Max Payne series frightens me, the reassurance that there will be story elements in it makes me feel slightly better. Dan Houser, a Rockstar co-founder and lead writer for the game, promised that the multiplayer will integrate main narrative. "We wanted to put some elements of single player into the multiplayer so the multiplayer will have a lot more detail and have elements of story in it and have a sort of an immersive quality."
Other than that, nothing is known about the Max Payne 3 multiplayer – other than that it will exist. There has been a surge of story driven shooters talking about adding multiplayers though. On the horizon the Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect series are implementing a form of multiplayer – will Max Payne take a similar path? In Max Payne 2 there was back and forth game play with Max and Mona, maybe they could implement that sort of story driven action into a cooperative type play? It’s too early to speculate but let’s hope for the best.
