WHAT?

A special Co-op Night playing Red Dead Redemption on Xbox Live.

If you haven't done so, you can download the co-op mission pack for free here.

WHEN?

Wednesday, September 11th, 9 PM EST

Expect it to take 1-2 hours to run through the co-op missions.

WHY?

Malagate and I have had fun with this, but we both think that it would be more fun with more than two players.

Plus, this is a good warm-up for season 5 of Co-op Night, which begins a week from Wednesday.

HOW?

If you've played previous Co-op Nights, you know the drill. We'll have a "qualifying" round in Reach that will determine teams. (Why Reach? Because I like it AND I have a digital copy, which makes things easier.)

Your posse is your family. Play like a team. Protect and revive your teammates. On Co-op Night, assists count as much as kills.

WHO?

Friends of Coop Night who are online and have Reach loaded at 9 PM get invited first. You can also send a message to Kermit7. I don't anticipate more than 16, so at this time I don't have plans to form a second party. First come, first served. :)

I still need some cheevos in co-op missions.

Saddle up!

Originally a no-brainer to join, but the use of a second game makes the complexity almost unbearable. Why don't we all just get into a huge free roam match and pretend it's destiny with seamless matchmaking :-)

You don't want to see what we do in free roam. Molotov fight anyone?

Have you not played in co-op night before? We managed to use Reach to determine teams when we played through the ODST campaign and got no complaints.

You make a good point, though. I'll look into using the RDR private free for all game to determine teams, but since I've never played that, my preference is to stick to what I know in the set up to avoid any unforeseen obstacles, like people not being able to hear me, etc. It's a very short match.

Since you're not starting until 10:30 Thursday, I know you don't have my bedtime excuse. We might be done by 10:30 EST.

So, of course, the night you decide to finally boot up Red Dead, I be - oddly enough - attending a concert as well. This makes me a sad boner. Why you do this, Kermit? Why!?

Don't con-flabbit me! I tried to invite you to play over the weekend.

Sorry you can't make it. But heck, if it's just me, padraig, and Malagate, I'll be happy.

Uh, problem solved-ish: anyone down to meet on XBL for some RDR in like...an hour?

Just so you know, I looked into creating a short custom game in RDR, and either it's too complicated or it's too much trouble for me.

Trust me, there's a method to the madness and it will be short and painless. Unless we have low turn-out, and then I'll just arbitrarily dictate what the teams will be. :)

With 8 people able to play together it wouldn't surprise me if we're on at most 1-2 posses :)

Ended up having to work late, but I guess it worked out better, 4 is much better than 5!

I'm surprised anything is left of Mexico after the shelling we delivered that town. Many a man was blown to smitheroons.

Sorry it worked out that way. I do recommend downloading the co-op missions and giving them a try. They're a lot of fun.
