That is just poor game design. I can 1vs2 and 1vs3 in other games. That is what skill is about - showing that you can carry without relying on others. Here you are handicapped by how much your team will cooperate and you will mostly die because getting outnumbered and not the lack of skill. Also playing solo is not restricted so saying that the game shouldn't be played solo is just stupid (it is also a very good way to kill a game by having it restricted only to groups. All the games that have tried it, added solo options shortly after).

It is a solo game. The way how the game handles groups is poorly designed. For someone who is complaining all the time about how this game not being competitive and fair enough, you are surely jumping very fast to defend flawed game mechanics by saying "just play with friends 4head".

That seems like a normal day in APB. Good thing the thread segregation is back so I have only to deal with the dethreaters instead of all the cheaters on the server.

I wonder if anyone even has the code for that version to begin with.

Ok fair enough. However I don't really consider removing the bounty system completely as a tweak. If it was reworked in a good way - sure. But removing it without providing alternative is just taking away from the game content. yes, I know it is not a permanent thing but my issue is that there isn't going to be reworked anytime soon and it will just stay disabled indefinitely.

Well, that is open world games for ya. And almost everything in APB is rng starting with the missions, object placements bullet spread. making a balanced APB just won't be APB anymore. Not sure about that. I am better in some FPS games than other but combat in APB is so stiff that it feels more like playing World of tanks than an FPS game.

But they are fair enough in the way that they puts everyone in an equal situation. isn't that what you are asking for? Are they? I am pretty sure you can come from CS 1.6 and do just as well once when get used to the clutter of the new graphics.

That title now belongs to every BR game that is out there.

And suiciding.

Considering there aren't really that many gta pvp clones to be played on the market, I would say not really. Theoretically it fills the f2p niche for the genre. Also APB is hands down one of the hardest pvp games I have ever played. Idk why everyone here thinks it is not competitive enough. 5 years vs 20 years old game. Also wasn't that exactly the time when it went f2p?

There isn't much room for it imo without completely making the game generic. Siege maybe because it is still kind of new game for all but CSGO is probably losing playerbase considering it even went f2p. You can't really do much with a tutorial. The real knowledge like positioning and player behavior comes with experience. As for the matchmaking it becomes a problem when new players stops coming. It exists but apb is basically the f2p alternative of it.

But it is not even happening at the same time lol.

And I am confused of what armas sales have anything to do with patching the game.

Wow you just have summed it all up. I would kill for a game like APB but with proper shooting mechanic. Idk why games like GTA always have such wooden gameplay when comes down to fighting.

which brings the question why no one complains about pmg on the first place. It has more ammo than you need for a kill and is even more forgiving than nfas.

1. Because highly competitive setup is undoable in the way how the game is designed. 2. Highly competitive games doesn't bring new players since they will always be years behind everyone else. 3. CSGO exists already I just came back and I feel like having to learn the game all over again.

Agree but there is probably a reason to be like this. For example, it will be too easy to make a car unusable just by ramming it to a wall with another one especially by people that are not in the mission. The door alone requires a lot of space to work. Just parking close to the car may block it completely if there is not enough space for the character's hitbox..

I believe that is intended so you can get in/out even if the doors are blocked. Speaking of exploits, I woudl like to see the building doors and the heavy lifting object fixed.

Why woudl anyone be sitting in social unless for customization, auction and afk-in?

How one can be sure then if they have enough money when buying many things at once if taxes are not included on the prices? But anyway, as I said, APB is the only game that I know which does this. Every other place where I have to pay in $, the on-display price is always with tax included.

But it will still make it better. Also no system is going to fix the lack of players anyway.

Are you sure about that? The snub does indeed shows 75 in the announcement and in the game. The other one however shows as 300 in the announcement and 250 ingame.

Looks like they are all playing the wrong game if all that they want is isolated matches. CSGO already exists.

I would even say more than it should. The game already has a very steep learning curve.

Old ones. It makes me wonder how they couldn't even get them right. It is not like they are translating from another language. The kill values are also wrong.
