from the looks of it i'm guessing the free roam pack will be free since it sounds more like a title update than DLC. Multiplayer poker should have been included from the get go but at least they're putting it in eventually.

yeah i know, i did a copy/paste job here. Silent doesn't like me leaving out the Xbots and this game is multiplatform so here it is for you guys to discuss too :D

New ‘anti-griefing’ measures in Free Roam

Hmmm.... Wonder what they mean by this? Could it be that they are stopping other players from killing each other outside of actual Matches? I know I'm getting sick of doing gang hideouts in public free roam while someone sits on a hill and snipes me repeatedly while I'm trying to get the gang members. That gets old real quick. That and having my horse/Bull/Buffalo shot out from underneith me :evil: I keep thinking I'll repay the favor one day but then....... I'm just not that type of person.

The Undead Nightmare Pack is DEFINITELY going to be on my MUST HAVE list. Just something so statisfying about slaughtering a few hundred zombies now and then.

when i hear grief i'm thinking there will be a reporting feature added, like in games like LittleBigPlanet where if you come across something a player has created that is offensive you press a button and report it to moderators. Not sure how it could be incorporated into a game like this though. Send repeat offenders warnings and/or bans? Or as you suggested, just remove the ability to kill others all together in freeroam. That would take away from all the challenges that involve killing most wanted players and such though. I'm curious to see what they come up with and how well it works

Ah True. Forgot about the "Most Wanted" They could always make it that once you get Most Wanted you are fair game and only people with that status are now vulnerable to attack by other players.
idk probably wishful thinking.... guess we'll find out when it gets here
