I just started another playthrough and it has become a real chore to do the starter missions (Bonnie's). Augh, I have to do those herding and horse-breaking missions again. They weren't so bad the first time but now I wish I could just skip them.

Last night I was riding though Mexico just minding my own ridding on a trail when all of a sudden my horse drops dead. His head tucked down and he fell to the ground like a brick ,his lifeless body crumpled up in the Mexican sun. No one was around so i had to run down the trail for 2 mins looking for someone to steal there horse. the only thing i could come up with was video horse aneurysm?

I think he threw a shoe. I've had the same thing happen, and it only seems to happen to lower-quality horses. Alternatively, maybe he got bitten by a snake

If all you need is the Gentleman's Attire, why don't you just go ahead and sign up for the Rockstar Games Social Club to get it? That's all it is, a bonus for joining the Social Club, which also unlocks various challenges you can do in-game that give you special cheat codes. ...I'm not a shill for Rockstar, it just unlocks some cool stuff.

They are very hard to see and the rattle easily blends in with some of the Mexico music, and they kill horses instantly.

Sometimes if your horse ever gets wounded in a firefight (or, again, bitten by a snake) it's death is delayed for a while. I had one of my horses take half of a shotgun blast to the face and live because I immediately gave it horse pills and an apple. The horse honestly looked like a two-face and it was awesome.

How are you supposed to kill a cougar with a combat knife? I got lucky getting one that for some reason did nothing but run away from me, but any other just tears me to shreds in a second.

Has anyone been able to complete the Rank 3 Sharpshooter II challenge in multiplayer? You have to kill a bear with a single headshot. I must have gone through two dozen bears charging me without completing it. I think I'm going to try sniping a bear in the head next and see if that works.

I did have one guy rush up to me and my pal while we were doing tumbleweed, and my thought was "I don't want this guy loving with us" so I killed him a couple times until it dawned on me that he wasn't trying to kill us (though I swear he shot at me the first time without provocation), so I invited him to our group and we went all went on a weird adventure It doesn't really help that I've come across maybe 3 people on the PS3 who have a mic and will actually use it for things other than having their TV play back the sounds of the game in an echo.

How I did it: Shoot it once with the Repeater Carbine, which won't kill it but will put it into its retreating mode. Now equip the knife and chase it down. Beware the revenge cougar.

The first time I realized there is almost always more than one cougar, it reminded me of Jurassic Park. I had my sights on the cougar just walking around ahead of me. Then I heard something rustling in the grass next to me. I move the camera around to see a cougar running straight at me, then swiping. "Clever girl."

Then I heard something rustling in the grass next to me. I move the camera around to see a cougar running straight at me, then swiping. "Clever girl." Use bait. If you attract a cougar with bait, only one will come. Buy as much bait as you can carry, ride south from Blackwater a bit, camp, and save. Put your back to the river, walk out far enough to place bait where you can get back to the edge in a few seconds. Place the bait and run back to the coast. An animal will always come running at you within 10 seconds. It may not always be a cougar (I think I got boar, deer, and rarely a bear), but it will be a cougar sometimes. When it charges at you, let it get relatively close, deadeye, and shotgun it in the front leg. I think I used the Evans Repeater. It will immediately recoil and start to run away, but slowly since it's now gimpy. Chase it and knife it to death. If you shoot it too early, or don't get a great shot on the leg, you may have to mount to catch up.

In single player, you can use a buffalo (preferred) or bolt action for a head shot, or hit it with Carcano in the head from a distance.

You can also roll out of the way of the cougar with the X button. If you can survive the first jump, you're usually golden. Don't be afraid to take some medicine. Then personally I just walked towards the cougar swinging my knife like I was conducting some sort of knife symphony.

So looks like the people with hacked files may want to replace them... http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/act...res%3Btitle%3B1 quote:Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption has won both critical success and commercial triumph, but the developer recognizes there are lingering issues with the game. Namely, these concerns are in the game's robust multiplayer component, where Rockstar says a few "rotten apples" are attempting to soil the experience for others. Sounds good to me. Those who want to bully and hunt each other can, and the whiners will be able o whine away.

I don't like the idea of becoming Most Wanted after a half dozen consecutive kills, mostly because there are a lot of would-be griefers that are just terrible at it and I don't want to be punished for killing them when they repeatedly run into my guns.

the "most wanted" thing for player killers is a great idea. however I'm not sure I like this thing about how players who "feel bullied" can just teleport anywhere. How do they distinguish who's being bullied? or are they just giving everyone to just teleport away at any time because that'd be terrible
