Rumors about Red Dead Online have leaked ahead of the start of beta testing today. According to Twitter user "Illogical Mods", the Make It Count game mode will pit 32 players fighting to be the last one standing in typical battle royale style with a shrinking map and a limited number of weapons. The leak also includes details about several other game modes.

    Does everything need a BR mode? Can there be a game unaffected by this fad?

    I'm not a big BR fan, but it doesn't hurt a game if it is one of the many features. If you don't want to play BR then you shouldn't. There should be enough other things for you to do right?

    Prefer single player PC game then any possible variant of online spin off.

    I could NOT care less about the online version but I do care about the fact that R* is known for abandoning the SP experience for the cash-grabable MP experience a'la GTA5.

    Makes me sad knowing that RDR2 will see the same fate.

    LOL..yeah of course there will be a BR mode,what game released in the last couple years doesn't have one.

    Geesh can any developer or people think for themselves or come up with their own ideas?Ev1 now is a copy cat,nothing is creative anymore,SPAM combat is the fave of all new kids on the block,nobody likes strategy or calm relaxed gaming anymore,i think the people now a days were fed a diet of too much caffeine and too much salt,they all have ADD.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I hope this(PvP) is not the only multiplayer experience RDR2 will get. I was hoping for a mode with coop objectives.

    PVP is not the focus of Online-

    You look for sign posts that allow you to go to one of the PVP related events (there are 4 I believe)-

    Theres co-op missions and missions that you can get based on your alignment (I know they dont call it alignment but whatever) so like an evil player may get missions to break someone out of jail and a good player may have to escort a caravan or protect a train...Things like that... Plus organic random things happen in the open world like the single player game.

    edit- Plus, like the single player game there is an evolving story.

    Your username kinda depresses me because it's a reminder of better times. :(

    As irreverent as that comment may seem, it kinda is. Wizardry was part of an era that was filled with the thrill and wonder and imagination, because barely any idea that a person had in their head was not yet conceptualized in the medium of video games.

    Wasn't that a wonderful time? when something new and different was more exciting then something we were used to?

    I don't know mate. GTA5 was the best SP GTA experience (personal opinion + many critics and customers) and RDR2 SP is vastly better than its predecessor. 

    I see this as a case of expansionism rather than changing directions. Hence, more power to them.

    And I sincerely don't understand the cash-grab part. I never spent a dime on GTAO and I am like the reincarnation of Escobar in Los Santos.
