There are a number of weapons that have preset mods, and not interchangeable .. Some of these preset weapons have the "changed" IR3 mod. Question: What options are available for those current owners that have weapons with the preset mod IR3 (and the included changes). Example: I currently have a Joker CR-5 PR2 The preset modes include Hunting Sight 3 and Improved Rifling 3 Since the changes to IR3, this weapon is no longer (in my opinion) no longer performing optimally. What options are available to me. These are preset modification to the weapon, so I cannot swap them out. Does this fall under the category of; re-learning a preset weapon, and redefine ones tactics .... or will there be additional changes in the coming months, as weapon balance refinements are implemented.. As much as I appreciate feedback from my compadres, an official statement is most welcome. Cheers, & Happy Shooting ...

For the US based players, 20m is approximately 65 feet. What is the typical range of a shotgun? The effective range of a typical shotgun is about 45 m. (or approx 145 feet) Granted, this is a video game, and the laws of physics do not always apply. Take the HVR jump shot that we all love & miss. Now, there have been very few reports, (if any) of any Army or Marine Corp snipers able to accomplish the "Sniper Jump Shot", but again, this is a video game, so anything is possible. As far as the effective range of a shotgun in APB... Yeah, it is definitely plausible.

Down for 6 hours for patch. Yep ... just saw the patch notes ... sigh... I was too quick to pull the trigger. On a side note, this is actually a great time to apply a patch ....

Never mind ....

this reeks of someone vomiting information that they just made up tbh Hmmm... yes, that is one possible hypothesis...... I could add a few others ... haha..... But suffice to say . "History does repeat itself ... " lol

Ahh, these are the posts that I find most entertaining... For those that have followed the forums over the last 6 or maybe 7 years, it is posts like this this that always puts a smile on ones face. Why you say ? Haha, cause these are the same posts we have seen crop up all the time, for like the last 6-7 years. Were there cheaters ingame during the life time of PunkBusters ? Yes. Were there cheaters ingame during the life time of PunkBusters & Fairfight ? Yes. Are there cheaters in game with BattleEye ? Yes. But ... why ? Cause there will always be cheaters in any online game, particularly those that are free to play. Any anti-cheat , can only do so much. But there are not many cheaters now in this game. (he must have copied and pasted this from a post from 2010, or was it 2012....'13 ?) Are there bypasses for BattleEye ? Yes. So what do I do ? "git gud" Those , umm fortunate players that rarely experience cheaters are "real gud" ... (yes, most of whom I speak are True Golds ™) Are you a Silver ? Uhh, well I flop back and forth from Gold to SIlver. So you're not a True Gold ™ ? Huh ? Anyways same song, different tune and another year. Good fun to read ....

Good suggestions .... I will drive my car a bit more. This was a FC btw ...

You were removed from the server because of inactivity ...... But .... I was active ... Shooting ... Crouching ... Running ... Moving along ......... SO ... QUESTION : WHAT CONSTITUTES INACTIVITY TO BE BOOTED ? Inquiring minds want to know .... Regards

Myself, I never used the "AL" I have seen vids on YouTube where the graphics were dumbed down to a ridiculous level. It was like ..... like watching a Potato .... it was horrible. I hope I never witness anything like that again.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification, most helpful. So everyone is down ?

Not sure what's going on.... Login Servers on Jericho have been down for about an hour. Is this maintenance ?? ..and we didn't get the memo ?

Good point. If LO would provide server status , via their webpage .. would they also provide an App.. for iPhone & Android ? We shall see what LO has in store for the future. I'm sure they're taking notes.

We could only hope. That's a great suggestion by the way . I think many members of this community would find that feature helpful ...

Jericho - 7/19 Thurs 5:20am Login Server - Connected Connect to Districts - FAIL

I hope we are talking about the same thing when discussing Reticle Bloom. If so, Bloom is a visual representation of the Reticle expanding after firing the weapon. So although your aim point is still in the center of that Bloom, with an expanded reticle, you no longer have a small crosshair on target. Given the appropriate time, after the weapon is fired, the Reticle Bloom returns to the original crosshair reticle when aiming. If you are firing a weapon either full auto, or w/ semi autos, and do not allow the Reticle Bloom to recede, then the player no longer has a tight reticle on target, but the center of that Reticle Bloom would still be the aim point. By using a custom crosshair, like a dot, you no longer need to contend with an expanded Reticle Bloom, which is your aim point. The dot, provides a perfect center aim point. I think we are talking about the same thing. EDIT: Not sure why anyone would downvotes this post. I don't think that I stated anything that was inaccurate.
