Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Pits Cheaters Against Cheaters
Playing against hackers and cheaters in multiplayer games is rarely fun, so now Rockstar is showing them just how it feels. It's hit upon a cruel and unusual punishment for cheaters in Max Payne 3's multiplayer: forcing them to play in a "Cheaters Pool" filled only with other hoodlums. "Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a 'Cheaters Pool', where they'll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants," Rockstar explains in a blog post. They'll also be cut from the leaderboards. Rockstar could deign to allow these rapscallions to rejoin civilised society, but will permaban them for a second infraction. Lets hope that one day all online games will adopt such measures.

let them get frustrated with other cheaters
can't even complain now
Sprayed a guy in the face last night with a P90 in BF3, happen to get a headshot. Next moment hes crying over chat about me being a hacker. Not the first time I've had that. Just learn not to argue with the children so I said,"thank you for the kind compliment." Then he went off and started crying about camping when he charged over and over into our advancing frontline. Sigh...kids.
The game is meant to be played one way as created by the developers. If you don't like I don't think you should play. If you are going to cheat, I think you should be banned.
I've never been accused of cheating though.
...have rarely felt prouder than that.
But back on topic! This is an interesting idea that I hope pans out. If it turns out to work as intended, I say more companies should adopt it.
