Yeah good game last night.

With regards to attacking angle, the first thing I do when targeting an opponent is to check the range. I move towards the target keeping an eye on how fast the range closes. This gives you an idea of if the target is moving towards me or away from me. If it's moving towards me I get prepared for a head on attack, if not I wait until I am close enough to visually check the targets course and then get into attack position accordingly.

Thats correct.
Me and Wookie is amongst the regulars, basically flying every night around 21.00 GMT. There are several others to, but they are temporarily lost in the West. As soon as they get tired of chewing dust and riding donkeys, you will find quite some fun online at nights.

And get your headset back, that will be helpful to enjoy online gaming.

Another tip regarding attack. Get a lead angle and aim at the wings.

I shot my donkey near Armadillo and jumped back in my Spitfire quick sharp. The wild west looks nice and is good to go wandering in but at the end of the day I prefer scalping 109s to skinning raccoons

I can't decide whether I love that game or hate it. Its such as great world but its so buggy. The voice work is great but the mission structure is broken, the bounty system is nice but I pulled a gun out half a mile outside a town and apparently pointed it at someone cos there was all this distant screaming and suddenly I had $20 on my head. I ran my horse off a cliff, it died but i survived so i skinned it and then whistled and another identical horse ran out from behind a rock.

It left me very much with this feeling. O_o

I see what u mean guys. RDR is huge and breathtaking in a number of ways, but BoP is spine-invading. I can't help it.

I'll do my killing in the air... (To re-write The Everly brothers a bit).

Red dead is a sum of parts that don't add up to what they should for me.
I like the free roam with other players and posses etc but why can't you set up a scored match in free roam. To get a proper match you have to enter the competetive mutiplayer which restricts you to small preset arenas. In these arenas there are no horses. That capture the bag game would be great if you had to trek across country but the capture point is about 20ft from the bag!
Also there are no trains in free roam. There goes my idea for a multiplayer great train robbery.

What's there is good but shame they didn't push the boat out a bit more. I was flying over Berlin the other night and again thought about a city that scale in a free roaming world war 2 battle game. Maybe have to wait for the next generation for that

Yes Kav Wookie and I were all talking . You can adjust the volume level for speech in the option menu . helps if you turn it up if you are listening from TV . versus the headset
