I'm almost legendary four, I've been playing since day 1, and I still don't understand some poo poo.

How come this gently caress I was just playing against can just run around the corner and kill me, but doesn't show up on my map? I'm creeping around like a dumb rear end while he just jogs around and gets the jump on people. Is it only when you are sprinting?

Also, how the hell do people roll multiple times in a row? Is it a glitch?

In hardcore you only appear on radar if you're sprinting or shooting. You're running (not sprinting) by default so crouch walking everywhere will do you no good unless you're purposely trying to remain unseen. I'm still not entirely sure if crouching while you shoot makes you appear on radar or not. I'd swear I've seen a few people take potshots at me while crouched just a few feet away and remain invisible, not wholly sure on that though.

Oh, riding horses pings you on radar as well. It doesn't seem to always be constant, people intermittently fade away on your map when riding - I'd wager that's more of a connectivity issue though. Oddly enough the most effective weapon to use stealthily online is probably dynamite. I absolutely love dropping a stick in the middle of a road when I have a posse of pubbies galloping after me. Seeing a puff of smoke in the distance behind you as you rack up 3 kills is intensely satisfying.

So the default jog doesn't make you appear on the map? Ugh...I've been crouching everywhere no matter what.

Thats the first thing I've read that makes me want to try multiplayer. Last time I looked Gold was too expensive here for constantly running away from 12yr olds with 1000+ hours clocked on sniping from watertowers, but I may give it a try now.

Am I the only one to dislike the undead nightmare? I just met rickets in Mexico, and I can't push on any further. I've had the ending spoiled and the gameplay doesn't do anything for me.

The original game isn't fun for me anymore either. I've finished the game, and jack isn't as fun to play as as John. Although when he says "you taught me well, pa", I tear up.

If you aren't a fan of the Wild West backdrop in the first place, then you're not likely going to enjoy the game for an extended period of time. If you're like me and still enjoy watching and re-watching movies like Clint Eastwood's Man-with-No-Name series, then yeah, it's still pretty awesome playing as a badass gunslinger. Playing that role is fun and we don't have a lot of games based around that situation.

I actually just bought Undead Nightmare a couple of weeks ago. Just got to Mexico last night and I'm still having fun. But I also like to force myself to run into hordes of enemies/zombies and take them out at close range for fun, too. I found out the hard way that taking on cougars on foot with the torch is a bad idea, though. I like this game too much to hate it for long, and I'm typing too much about it so bye.

When I first got 100% I debated whether I would bother rebuying it on PC like I aways do with GTA games. Then once I realized they weren't making it I kind of wanted it more just because I couldn't have it. Now that I've upgraded my video card I'm practically foaming at the mouth for one.

UPDATE* 6/21/11 In response to a commentor Rockstar gave us a few hints as to what the DLC is: "As previously stated, we will not be adding a train into multiplayer for Red Dead Redemption or Undead Nightmare. It's great to see so many of you are stoked for more Red Dead Redemption DLC though. This free DLC will open up some new multiplayer locations and add additional multiplayer characters for you to choose from."

I have a grave dilemma on my hands. I can either go through RDR again and do as much as the kid as possible, or install LA Noire, which has the huge letdown of not having 1st-person driving.

This is how I feel as well. Now that I have a top of the line PC, I can just see how amazing RDR would look on it. The game is amazing looking on consoles as is.

Another thing I should add regarding sniping. Whenever you take a shot with a sniper rifle you'll probably see your bullet fly off in a seemingly random direction no where near where you were aiming. If you totally ignore that bullet and just pretend that your sniper rifle is a laser you'll hit what you're aiming at 100% of the time. Your bullet always fires at the exact center of your crosshair, every time. I should also mention that the Rolling Block is better than the Carcano, it does more damage and kills in 1 bullet more reliably.

I had a hell of a time with sniper rifles because I thought the bullet took a random flight path, now my favorite thing to do in free roam is sniping a dude off of his horse 300 yards away while I'm galloping up a hill.

This'll make me unpopular, but: I am not a zombielover. They're already dead and they don't seem to feel pain or anything else, so there's no great pleasure in dispatching them. Otoh, there's satisfaction in shooting insulting gangmembers and people who don't like your cheating at poker. Zombies can't even talk or play cards, so there's no feedback other than UNGHHH. They say that anyway tho.

Took me a while to realise the Rolling Block was more powerful than the Carcano, cause the stats are wrong. And I think I was allowing for bullet drift as well. When you clear a gang hideout and take careful headshots with the Winchester a certain number of shots just won't hit.
