Max Payne 3's Hostage Negotiation DLC delayed, Rockstar offers free weapons bonus

Max Payne 3's "Hostage Negotiation" DLC missed its September release window, and developer Rockstar Games announced today that it will release a weapon bonus this week to compensate for the delay.

"Our apologies to Max Payne fans who've been waiting for this one and the other upcoming packs — we're working hard to bring you this and all the other DLC and should have a release date to announce for this next pack very soon," reads an update on the developer's website. "As a special thank you to all Max Payne 3 multiplayers for your support and patience, look for the release of an all-new chrome weapons bonus, which will be redeemable by all Social Club members free of charge. We'll have more info when the unlock becomes active later this week."

The "Disorganized Crime Pack" includes new maps, weapons, items, and the new Filhos De Ogum avatar faction. It will be released "later this fall" for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live and $9.99 on PlayStation Network and PC.
