I'm guessing the MP is gonna be about as good as it was in GTA IV or Red Dead. I'm not sure how they'd make it good cause you can't jump or climb in this game. A flat map sounds boring compared to something like Uncharted where you get to climb around during MP.
And awp, you can pause, just not while switching weapons. They do have this interesting, sorta useless thing where when you pause, you can move the camera around and the menu will go away until you stop moving the camera. So if you wanted, you could have really, really unpaused combat.
Oh, and there was this one part of a level where I had to do some precision shooting under time pressure with a laser sighted gun. That sounds nice, except the laser sight is fucking useless. You know how in RE4/RE5, when you're aiming at an enemy, you see a clear dot on them? None of that. As far as I was concerned, I had to aim slightly to the right of where I thought the bullets should've been going.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the biggest fucking annoyance in the game. After nearly every single fucking room, Max Payne or one of his stupid buddies will tell me to hurry up. If you spend more than two seconds in the room after killing everyone in there, he'll just tell himself how he doesn't have time to be dicking around. And there was one part where I had to run to the exit or something, so I sprinted, and my jackass friend was like, "You call that running?!" I didn't even know where to go either, so he bitched about my running another dozen times or something.
