No worries. I hid the duplicate.

No, I meant I already moved it for you to the main Online forum.

Moving this to the main Online section since it's not necessarily PC specific. It will get more views there.

Yeah, I know what you meant. I just was having a little fun since you called out RDO being a poorly developed game and then mentioned that you can't wait to buy an Ubi title. IMO, Ubi hit rock bottom with Breakpoint. ....well, I thought they did with FC5 but definitely with GR:B. I'd pick R* over Ubi any day in terms of developement quality. I do agree with you on Cyberpunk though. I am looking forward to that game on both PS4 and then later on PS5.

...had to laugh a bit when I saw "good game development" and a current Ubi title used in the same sentence.

Yeah, I don't watch all of Ian's stuff on FW but I find most of it really interesting especially when he's able to take one out on the range that follows his review. ....which is why I try to watch them in order if I can. Quirky / nerdy guy but he really knows his stuff. I guess he's collaborated with Vikers on other books like the one on AK47s if I remember correctly. I think some gaming companies should be hitting up experts like this rather than some of the "advisors" if they really want "authenticity" in their shooters, etc. Not all military advisors have the intricate knowledge historians, other vets and even civilians that take much more of an interest in military weapons, etc.

This is the picture I was trying to link to and yes, it was an XM177(E). You can see the stamping in the second pic of the rifle below the Colt AR-15 marking. .....and of course the M203 stamp on the launcher (this is one is made by Colt): Seems the first M203s went to Vietnam in early 1970 for field testing and then were put into service in large numbers after that evaluation was completed but apparently manufactured by Colt rather than AAI at that point. Ian McCollum (Forgotten Weapons) did an overview on the M203 as well as Vickers retro build of his CAR15. He also did a review on Vickers AR15 book. Here's the article where I got those pics: http://www.modernforces.com/weapon_xm177.htm

Just so there's no misunderstanding, this site has no affiliation with R*. Their feedback site is also more of a suggestion box. They won't respond to input that is submitted but simply use it to see what players want. I do know that the PS4 had some exclusives but why some things are held back if they are already released on both consoles, I don't know.

Yeah, you guys need to be more clear and if it is the guides here, please provide more details as to what exactly you think is wrong with them please. Keep in mind that I haven't played the main campaign since around the time the RDO beta launched so personally, I won't be able to verify anything but if others can, let me know and I will forward to the owner / Admin if it seems there is an error.

Yes, please point out which guides your speak of and any specifics you can provide if it's the ones on this site. Thanks.

SEPTEMBER 28 UPDATE PATCH NOTES: [September 28, 2020] – Stability / Improvements Stability Improvements Fixed several reported crashes and stability issues impacting gameplay in Story Mode and Red Dead Online Fixed an issue that prevented some players from entering Red Dead Online resulting in the error 0x99220000 Stability Issues (PC) Fixed an issue that resulted in a crash when launching the game due to a corrupted key bind mapping file Fixed an issue that resulted in a crash when launching the game using DirectX 12 on some versions of Windows 7/8

....btw, it's fixed now.

......well, you didn't forget about us now did you? I don't know. It seems an admin setting was changed in the upgrade that might filter links, attachments, etc. that require approval before allowing to post. I noticed the same thing. ......but if I remember I'll hit up the Admin and see if it can be fixed to help folks out.

......which probably why this thread is in the story mode section and the OP refers to Chapters, etc. I'm not sure the OP will respond either way though given they haven't been back for over a year and a half

Sorry for the delay on this one. They didn't Tweet the update and I've been feeling that spry lately. Anyhow, enjoy.....

Gamespot mentioned it too although it's just regurgitated. https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/red-dead-online-could-be-adding-zombies-for-halloween/1100-6482387/

The M203 was in service since at least the early 70s. I mentioned it earlier but Larry served since the early 80s. ......20 years in spec ops, 15 of those in Delta (Panama, Desert Storm, Somalia, Bosnia, etc.). He knows what he's talking about. He mentions early on in the video that the barrel shown existed prior to the M4 but was later known as the M4 barrel. Just remember that the only reason I even linked that video was a supplement to the discussion about the modifications some of these soldiers were making especially in spec ops where they had way more leeway on such things. CoD Cold War covers the 80s with flashbacks to Vietnam and so on but it seems more focused on that period in the 80s in the maps, weapons, accs, etc. Here's another example of a CAR15 with an M203 attached:. A different muzzle on this one compared to Larry's example: SORRY.... Don't know what's going on with not being able to copy and paste images sometimes after the update.

Are you talking about Larry referring to the M203 in the video? He was in service starting in the 80s. Anyhow, I wasn't trying to prove any point by it, just supplementing Parzival's discussion on the topic. I don't see it that way but ok. I just get the whole vibe of pre-MW CoD which I hated in the step back from the gunsmith-centric design, gameplay, reintroduction if Zombies, etc. MW was a departure from some of that which got me back into the game after many years. ....but that's just me.
