New Screens For Red Dead Redemption Liars and Cheats DLC
Rockstar has done a fantastic job of supporting what is surely the year's breakout new IP, Red Dead Redemption. The upcoming Liars and Cheats pack, which launches on September 21, will feature a new multiplayer mode, Stronghold, which is basically a variation on the popular "attack and defend" modes seen in many shooters. At the outset of a match, one team will be assigned to attack and take control of a series of nodes on the maps.
Here's how Rockstar explains Stronghold:
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.
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.
This should be a nice addition to an already great multiplayer title, check out these remaining screens if you want to get even more excited for next Tuesday.
