Screenshots and Details from the All-New Stronghold Mode in the Red Dead Redemption: Liars and Cheats Pack
Taking aim at the red team from the rooftops of Blackwater as Agent Ross in the new Stronghold Competitive Multiplayer Mode - part of the new Liars and Cheats Pack downloadable content for Red Dead Redemption.
The new Stronghold Mode - part of the upcoming Liars and Cheats Pack for Red Dead Redemption - is our take on the popular "Attack & Defend" multiplayer gameplay variation, and features some of the most exciting and strategic gameplay of any of Red Dead Redemption's diverse Competitive Multiplayer modes.
The red team gains ownership of a control point on the outskirts of Blackwater.
Supporting up to 16 players on any one of four maps [Blackwater, Escalera, Fort Mercer & Thieves Landing], Stronghold Mode begins with one team on the attacking side. They are given a shared number of lives and a time limit to capture a series of control points spread across the map. The other team is classified as the defending side, tasked with maintaining ownership of those control points for as long as possible.
Cracking the Gunsmith Safe while the Red Team bears down on their position.
Once the attacking team has either captured all the control points, run out of time or lost all their lives - the teams switch sides, with the attackers becoming the defenders, and vice versa. Whichever team team captures the most points in the shortest amount of time wins the match. On certain maps, cracking safes in Stronghold Mode gives players access to the all-new devastatingly destructive Explosive Rifle. Stronghold Mode also has its own related challenges that award players with bonus XP and custom multiplayer titles.
Opposing teams vie for control.
Look for more details throughout the week on the vast assortment of new content that's featured in the Liars and Cheats Pack for Red Dead Redemption.
tell me why in stronghold (blackwater), my team loses even though both teams failed to cap the last point, coincidentally the time total was exactly the same, and my team had 10 less lives lost. why did my team lose in that instance?
also, answer me this: when you guys play stronghold on fort mercer, do you find the double cannons atop the ridge at all overpowering or annoying when defending? to have to go out of your way (with only five shots mind you) and try to take out a couple gunners is a little much.
not only that, when attacking, the cannons sometimes work against the team! nwbs who sit on the cannon the whole game with the RT held down, not checking the map for locations of teammates rack up team kills, which kill them too. leading to a faster loss.
sry thats my lil rant =)
Thanks
i totally agree with "thecabagge"; same thing has happened to me many many times
I honestly don't get what 'kicks' you get out of killing random players for no reason.
"There's nothing more satisfying than pursuing a quarry that is genuinely in distress, especially if you can hear their groans of despair or the ire and hatred in their curses."
Wow.. That's low.
Yeah golden tomahawk, just got mine.
I doubt you were being killed for the measly amount of XP you get for killing another player. It was just for sick kicks I can assure you. There's nothing more satisfying than pursuing a quarry that is genuinely in distress, especially if you can hear their groans of despair or the ire and hatred in their curses.
Thanks Rockstar, for giving me the opportunity to torment and be downright nasty to complete strangers for fun.
Thanks Rockstar, way to encourage the Tw@ts.
@R* how do we get the Explosive rifle golden? getting headshots on that thing will be a pain in the but. Will it be like the fire bottles and dynamite where you have to kill two with one bullet, then three with one bullet, then a bag carrier or someone cracking the safe? And also for the golden fire bottles and Dynamite, i got them golden without getting 50 kills with them. Do the 50 kills carry through prestige? Please make it 100 kills with the explosive rifle cause it looks like it would be easy to kill people(mini cannon) One last thing, it would be great if private mode wouldn't count for achievements or challenges cause that takes the fun out of getting the golden guns. I hate hearing people talking about how easy the golden fire bottles were to get cause it took me so long to get. One last thing, it would be so cool to get bow and arrows with the undead pack. even though it doesn't make sense to put it there, it is too late to put it in the liars and cheats pack and i have talked to so many people and the yall agree that it would be a great addition to the world of Red Dead. Sorry the message was so long but i really appreciate you guys taking the time to read it.
