Rockstar has made quite a few modifications to the previously announced downloadable content release schedule for Max Payne 3, by combining some add-ons with others and confirming that a free pack, in the form of the Disorganized Crime Pack will be out this month.

Max Payne 3 came out in May on consoles and in June for the PC. Since then, an add-on appeared for the game, in the form of Local Justice DLC. Besides that DLC, plenty of other packs were scheduled to appear in the following months.

Rockstar has now changed a few things and reduced the number of add-ons from five to three, while confirming a free DLC in the form of the Disorganized Crime Pack.

“In addition to the free Disorganized Crime Pack coming this August, we've consolidated the content from the remaining five packs into three larger packs, with the content from the previously announced New York Minute Co-Op Pack and Trickle Down Economics Map Pack now spread across these upcoming releases. The Co-Op content originally planned for the New York Minute Pack has been integrated into the Deathmatch Made In Heaven Pack,” Rockstar said.

The new version of the release schedule, which includes prices and release periods, can be found below:

Disorganized Crime Pack: August [Free] Hostage Negotiation Map Pack: September [800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE) or $9.99 (PlayStation Network and PC)] Painful Memories Map Pack: October [800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE) or $9.99 (PlayStation Network and PC)] Deathmatch Made In Heaven Mode Pack: October [800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE) or $9.99 (PlayStation Network and PC)] The Disorganized Crime Pack brings a new map set around Max’s old apartment in New York, as well as new modifiers and quite a few other things.

“The free Disorganized Crime Pack for Max Payne 3 lets you to battle above the streets surrounding Max’s old apartment in the new Hoboken Rooftops multiplayer map. This pack also includes several new modifiers for Score Attack in Arcade Mode including Explosive Rounds where all your bullets detonate on impact, Lone Wolf AI for much more aggressive enemies and Headshots Only where the only way to kill your enemies is with a bullet in the head.”
