Rockstar's Working To Make Red Dead Redemption That Touch Friendlier Online.

A post over on Rockstar's official blog notes that the company are aware of "a few rotten apples" and are “actively working on new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on”. The post goes on to declare that the next title update - due within the next month - will include measures to counter hacking and cheating. Those who defy their Rockstar under-gods will be put under the ban hammer and sentenced to the gallows. Or something.

For those getting abused online, the title update will also include “some anti-grief relief features in Free Roam”. Those being cyber-bullied will be given the option to flee by “transporting and respawning in a region of the map of their choosing”.

Interestingly, those dishing out the nasties will become the wanted, as new measures will deem anyone with a six kill streak in Free Roam "Most Wanted". This alert will inform other players, aswell as put the law on the bully's ass. Take that campers!
