Sounds like some cool stuff coming down the pipe. Wild West Zombies?? Sign me up.

[SilentScreams]

I wondered how long it would be before the mandatory zombie mode.

New maps, hideouts, and modes? Awesome.

New single-player story, challenges, and quests with an undead spin? Awesomer.

But I'm most excited about:

* Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game; (fucking finally! now if they can just add controllable trains)
* New multiplayer horse races, complete with mounted combat;
* New anti-griefing measures in Free Roam; (likely a fix to spawn issues)
* New dynamic events and more;

As if my 135 hours spent in this game weren't enough, Rockstar keeps giving me gifts. Great news as I leave for vacation today!

Sounds cool. Except the zombie part. Getting tired of every game throwing that in.

[Borthcollective]

Bring on the Red Deadlands Redemption!

[menage]

RDR had some mystic moments in there, so I don´t mind it that much. I´m all over SP DLC like this.

[c0m3d14n]

did they fix the multiplayer connection issues already? the last update i know of that should have fixed them did nothing... how hard can it be?

[menage]

Mine was borked as well, but after the patch it runs fine.

[OldJadedGamer]

I sold this game (for exactly what I paid for it btw) and haven't looked back. Loved the single player but the multiplayer was horrible. Will borrow it from a friend and do the SP dlc if it's free but other than that, will be skipping this.

[National Kato]

Multiplayer connectivity issues have been fixed since the path.

[Dukefrukem]

Perfect timing too. I'm number #16 on Goozex.

[Xerxes]

How about another Co-op pack.

[fitbabits]

I've yet to play this...

[KSmitty]

I'm very interested in DLC that adds end game content, but zombies just seem REALLY out of place in a gritty old west title. Maybe I'll pick it up when its much cheaper, and I have yet to even join a single free roam session.

the 1.02 patch? or was there another one? 1.02 did not solve freeroam issues for me, i can only play private games

[MosBen]

I didn't get the game until after the patch, but I've never had trouble playing it online. RDR is still a regular addition to the weekly video game night that I have with my friends, particularly the coop missions. I'd love some more of those, but new gang hideouts would also be pretty rad. The multiplayer poker and other stuff is a no-brainer, but I guess I'll have to see how long they hold our attention.

[Orca]

Why is the anti-griefing stuff something we need to pay for, much less the THIRD pack - not the first?

[RandoM51]

No Ninjas versus Pirates mode, no sale.
