Pre-load Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC now in preparation for launch on November 5th. To begin, just log in to the Rockstar Games Launcher and click the PRE-LOAD button on the Red Dead Redemption 2 panel in your library. http://rsg.ms/26bcabe

I played the alpha and both betas. I thought the larger scale battles were kind of cool but again, too much hopping around corners, jumping from above, etc. The pace is just still too fast for my taste as a military shooter. ....it's still essentially a run & gun, twitch shooter albeit less so than before. I like shooters that are much more tactical, slower paced and lethal than what they offer. Personally, I'm waiting until insurgency Sandstorm to scratch that itch which will be releasing next year on console. If they offer the hardcore mode like they do on PC, I'll be a really happy camper.

NEW IN RED DEAD ONLINE: FEAR OF THE DARKPLUS TAKE DOWN A CORRUPT LEGENDARY BOUNTY, NEW CLOTHING UPDATES AND MORE Fear of the Dark is a terrifying new limited-time addition to Red Dead Online Showdown Modes pitting supernaturally fast, tough and strong Night Stalkers against mere mortal Hunter counterparts. The Night Stalkers' powers, however, are tied to the skull masks strewn about their stomping grounds. The more masks the Hunters get their hands on, the weaker the Night Stalkers become, while the Hunters' own weapons grow stronger. Hunters can only succeed in this new mode by collecting all of the masks and killing all remaining Night Stalkers. Night Stalkers can win by either wiping out the Hunters or surviving until the time limit expires. Play Fear of the Dark now through November 12th in Red Dead Online. And to sweeten the deal, the entire Fear of the Dark series pays out a hearty 3X Gold and 2X RDO$ through November 3rd. Is there anything more abhorrent than a corrupt politician? While serving in office, the former mayor Tobin Winfield squirreled away public monies for years. Now he’s disgraced and in hiding, wanted for larceny and embezzlement. This crooked official was last seen around Thieves' Landing. The Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue has a selection of new items, including the homely Tobacco Hat, the woven straw Thacker Hat, the Southwestern-patterned Torranca Coat, Manstilla Poncho, Creswell Skirt, Sierra Boots and Pickett Boots. Plus, Collectors can collect a nice stipend from Madam Nazar by tracking down a new Weekly Collectible List, the Veteran's Collection, consisting of the 1792 Quarter, Old Tom Gin and Aubrey Onyx Ring. Players with a fondness for sharp-edged implements of terror and destruction will be happy to hear that they can take 30% off all Cleavers, Machetes, Tomahawks and Throwing Knives this week. And if you haven’t embarked on Specialist Roles yet, get started this week to get an exclusive mask. Like last week, Licensed Bounty Hunters will receive an exclusive variant of the Creature Mask; Traders will receive an exclusive Swine Mask; while Collectors receive an exclusive Masquerade Mask -- all free of charge. Meanwhile, players who achieve Tiers 10 and 20 of the Outlaw Pass can look forward to free and exclusive versions of the Freak and Horror Mask, respectively. Players who win a round of the all-new Fear of the Dark mode, will also receive an exclusive tint of the Freak Mask as a reward for their efforts. Be sure to act this week, these masks and the haunting collection available from Madam Nazar are only available through November 3rd. PlayStation Plus players still have until November 4th to receive an exclusive colorway of the Killiman Vest while Red Dead Online players who connect their Social Club account with Twitch Prime receive the Bounty Hunter license for free and an extra 10% off the melee weapon discounts listed above. To ensure access to future benefits, make sure to visit Twitch Prime and sign up.

Send me a PM as to which guide you speak of and the mistake you encountered.

Hi Koi and welcome.

Oh cool..... Haven't seen that one before but Im not a big soda drinker. ....I do love cranberry though. I'll have to have my wife keep an eye out. Show usually buys the Ocean Spray pure Cranberry juice. ......never understood the cocktail variety where they add all that sugar and other crap. Their pure juice drinks are sweet enough and even then I'll usually dilute them a bit with water & ice.

No prob... I have quite a few of those myself.

Nice..... Yeah, I think the Canadians adopted them early on for some of the same reasons (reliable in cold weather)? The only rifle I want now in my safe is an M1A1 and I'll be happy.

....I just sent him a PM to see if he's still interested in keeping this thread / posse recruitment going.

Hi @rdr200% and welcome. Might want to visit our Posse Recruitment sub-forum to see if you might be able to make some new friends to join up with in RDO. Lots of folks looking for others to join their posse or perhaps even yours.

Yeah, why not. Wasn't trying to rain in your parade but simply pointing out that a good portion of jbohos' list that you critiqued wasn't just wishful thinking.

The Chinese were dabbling in crude forms of rocketry about a thousand years ago and they've existed in some form or another throughout history. Either way, he made the reference as a joke. I wouldn't mind seeing cannon / artillery though from fixed positions.

Yeah, I don't think I've had one of those for many, many years. I'm semi-retired now and still can't bring myself to sit in front of the TV to play games for the whole day let alone weekend. ....although I will do the occasional 4+ hours in the evenings if I feel up to it. .....and sometimes during the weekend days if I'm not able to do anything else. I dunno..... I just can't bring myself to play games during the day most times. Just doesn't feel right to me. I can't relax and enjoy it like I can at the end of the day. .....what's funny is that I can watch stuff on TV without a guilty conscience though. lol

That could all be true but the difference is that it's dictated at their end. The consumer will only be limited (essentially) by their internet performance and capabilities of their monitor. .....e.g. HDR, 4K, etc. Frame rates may also be throttled based on the users internet performance.

fyi.... When you say "you", please understand that RDR2.org is merely a fan site and not affiliated with R* or Take Two in any way. There are also no representatives (that we know of) who post here.

The Mosin was already around a few years sooner than the Type 30 you suggested which apparently didn't start production until the year the game takes place (1899). I would say you were more likely to see a Mosin than an Arisaka rifle in the U.S. but I'll wager both would have been relatively rare not to mention the ammunition. The earliest of the Lee Enfield rifles had been in service as early as the late 19th century and served in the Boer War (1899 - 1902). ....as were versions of the Mauser rifles and the C96 pistol we already see in RDR2 as simply the "Mauser Pistol". Other than the 1911 which was already covered, I would say his list isn't so much "wishful thinking".

What's the question? EDIT: NVM figured it out. Thanks for using the spoiler feature OP. I just forgot to expand it. lol

Hi Jim and welcome.

....but you don't need a PC to run it. Hell, you can connect via a Chromecast dongle and their controller. That is what I meant about Stadia being more like a console than a PC as far as the end-user is concerned. Everyone is basically running off of the same platform. The key will be your internet connection / capability as that will play the biggest role in your performance. PC gaming is a different animal with players dealing with all sorts of different hardware and settings. ....and then there are the mods, hacks, etc. unique to this platform. I honestly don't see a reason to open a Stadia sub forum at this time simply because there really hasn't been a lot of interest shown around here. ......but like I said, let's see how it goes and what the owner wants to do.

Do I think it warrants a different section? No, not personally. It's not like PC. If anything, it is more similar to a console which is already blended anyhow. PC comes with a lot of unique aspects that XB1, PS4 and even Stadia do not. .....but let's see how it plays out and what the owner wants to do. To be honest, there has been very little discussion on the topic around here up to this point.

Hi @jtravers88 and welcome to the forums. A couple notes.... RDR2.org is not affiliated with R* or Take Two in a any way. This is an RDR2 fan site. I am going to move this thread to our Troubleshooting forum and I am going to link you to the sticky there that has the info you need to contact R* directly if that is your aim. Hope this helps.

Sorry, my mind reading skills are a bit lacking. ......but as I said, exploits in the SP game are likely less of a concern. Either way, the take away I wanted folks to get from this was that I thought it best that people not use this as an opportunity to share instructions on how to cheat in the game by using exploits, etc. on the site. .....although that is really directed at glitches / exploits affecting RDO.

You've already got another thread on the same topic with responses. Use that one: Please don't spam the forums with dup topics / threads.

I played the alpha and both betas. For me, while the improvements were welcome and refreshing as it made this CoD game less "CoD" than some of the more recent titles, it is still CoD at heart. IMO, I look for a more tactical experience in my shooters. I don't like the run & gun nature although what really kills it for me in CoD is the ability to hop / jump. If they would have limited this or even eliminated it from the game in their hardcore/realism mode, I might be on board. I also prefer a low TTK damage model and other aspects like that which tend to naturally slow down the pace of the game. ....a slower pace means more time to approach objectives tactically and a better chance more people would be willing to work as an actual team covering one another, etc.
