Pertaining to the OP's suggestion to alternate live districts , every other day, not a bad idea. I mean, we do have the following Districts available, not including threat specific districts. - Financial - Waterfront - Fight Club-Abington Towers - Fight Club-Baylan Shipping Storage - Dynamic Event-Financial - Dynamic Event-Waterfront That's 6 districts that the current NA player base can not populate. And that is not including threat specific disctricts. If LO were to alternate FIN and Waterfront, I'm guessing the Silver Districts would be the way to go. Least ways , Bronze, Silver & Gold could join that district. If a player has his/her mind set on FIN, but only Waterfront was on that day, they might see a pop increase in the FC districts, which would be nice also. (Fight Club has also been struggling with population in the last few weeks) I would rather not diminish any district, by adding those contacts to the other district. As much as all of us would like to believe that the engine upgrade will be the "Magic Bullet" that draws a huge population increase. it won't. But it is a major stepping stone for future content.

I suppose one might ask if there is any truth to the old adage; "The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior" Who knows ?

I wish I still had my computer. ..

I am curious why you believe that the upgrade to UE 3.5 would be the death of APB (PC version) ? I know that RTW created a bunch of custom code to compensate for the lack of features .. etc with UE 3 Do you believe that with UE 3.5 we will lose some of these features ? I have read here, that w/ UE 3.5, that the Vegas 4x4 will no longer be able to pop wheelies, I'm assuming that this is the case on the console version. Not sure what other features are missing on the console version. Just curious to hear your thought with some details.

Oh yeah ,, the redeem codes, I forgot to ask. Good question ... Haha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I did did not participate, didn't really see the momentum "build up" until later yesterday. Hopped onto Discord, and saw a flurry of activity in the "Redhill" channel. and immediately came back to the forum for updates. Hats off to the LO team for the amount of effort and brainstorming to come up this whole "conundrum". I liked how they "leaked out to the public" by swapping billboards in mission districts. Nicely done. And advertising a website on the district Billboards. And the amount of content & detail provided on the Redhill website was beyond impressive. I drive around district once in while, never really pay attention to the billboards. Hats off to the players that initially reported these billboard sightings. This is officially when "The Game is afoot" Hats off to @Ketog for the chronological updates. Was a great read, and brought me, and I'm sure a whole lotta of other players that had not yet jumped on the "wagon", up to date. Hats off to @Eyepop, for taking the time & effort, and sharing a "Brute Force" password cracker script. Whoa,, haha, I'm thinking the LO Team was like; "WUT ??" "Wait,," They weren't expecting the amount of resourcefulness and "GODDAMM" determination to crack the password. It was funny. I hope@Eyepop, is rewarded accordingly. Hats off to @SK4LP, with their visual acuity, I gotta admit , I was lost ... Hats off to everyone that was involved, either Discord or the Forum, and collaboratively solving this puzzle. It definitely gets you thinking about the new content. Redhill.... Hooyahh...

You can always "white list" the domain, and you should be good to go. My understanding is that the M16 line , A1, A2 M4A1, A4, were all designated as the rifleman's basic assault weapon. Admittedly , I am not as familiar with the Sniper rifles used today by either the USMC or the US Army. I thought the article was interesting. To the person who "Down Voted" my post; I ask that you not "shoot the messenger", I figure that this game being a shooter type game, with a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from, that this post would be of interest. If your motives were more personal, such as; "I really hate this sombitch" Well, THAT I can understand.

porcupine_omg may very well be a sad Silver Panda, and rage quits on demand. Who the hell knows.... Haha !!

Well one point of note concerning UE 3.0 , official support ends in 2020, not sure about UE 3.5. I saw this post somewhere on the UE website. Not sure what date specifically support ends in 2020, and no, I don't' have the link handy. (but I'm sure if you look, you'll find it) So any game on UE3 that wants a supported product, they'll need to upgrade before support expires. So stuff is happening. New content has been one of the HUGEST request from way back. And now we're getting it. Yaaaaa !!! I'll reserve my comments on the new content "after" I have had a chance to check it out. Looking forward to something new. (besides a reskin)

I did, thanks for pointing that out .

I had a girlfriend once... Didn't much care for the engine noise as I drive her around in my Vegas. Picture of where I took her in August... on vacation... She left me soon after... /sigh... I still have the Vegas.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear things are moving along. As @IROCkiller stated, are there any plans on releasing performance benchmarks for the PC version ?

I would have liked to have seen a third option also. I do not care. Makes no difference to me.

Although this blog post is rather dated, I think it is still very relevant considering APB is still on Unreal Engine 3.0. Optimization Magic February 17, 2013 /TechMech I thought I should add this blog post by Matt Scott concerning performance. Updates On APB Development Progress November 21, 2018

I'm thinking, that the incident with the pedestrians the other day ....... may be due to server lagg... In which case, technicality, I am not at fault . Which is a good thing ... Haha.

Is Jericho safe to login now ? I wanted to drive around and test out the new brakes on my Vegas. Brakes failed on me the other day...... ran over a few pedestrians. /sigh

Hmmm, is this "Sarcasm" or is it "Memorex" ? 1 (800) 555- HALP

Hahaa.... Not one to "Rain" on anyone's parade, but we may be veering off topic a bit.

For the love of Gawd man....

Where the hell is my "Spell-Checker" when I need'em most ... /fixed Thanks

I would like to premise this post with a huge thank you to the Forum Mods efforts when it comes to; Keeping these posts clean Keeping post on topic Moving post to the appropriate subforum etc... On the topic of "Merging" of users posts, this may be an area that requires a bit more introspection and discretion with the Forum Mods. Why ? I can't speak for all forum posters, I can say for myself, that if I need to add any additional comment or update to a post that I made, I have the knowledge and insight to just "EDIT" my original post, and not submit a subsequent post to further my thoughts. (Hmmm, edit my original post.... what a concept) I had submitted 2 post, yes granted, back to back, but there were actually 2 posts, not related , in an attempt to convey 2 separate messages. Welp, my 2 posts were merged, and whatever "message", "concept" I wanted to convey, was more or less, "Lost in Translation" as it were, in the merged post. Haha, no big deal, but I would suggest to the Forum Mods that there are many posters that are more than familiar with "EDITING" ones post to add an addendum, and sometimes, not always, but sometimes the 2nd post provides it's own individual connotation. Have a wonderful day. Regards

All I can do is report what's out there. Little Orbit are teasing APB: Reloaded battle royale mode https://www.altchar.com/games-news/591219/little-orbit-teasing-apb-reloaded-battle-royale-mode

MMO Bomb https://www.mmobomb.com/news/apb-reloaded-gets-yeah-battle-royale-mode/

I was gonna say, if your on Jericho, can I has your "stuff". but I realized you might be new, and don't has much "stuff" to give". So ......... Merged. And just to be clear.... "Daily 'I am True Gold(™) and there very few, if any cheaters since PunkBuster, FairFight , BattleEye & FairFight have been implemented. You must be a silver, and just need to "git gud"' thread." Add it to da pile. Haha ...

Braindead Silvers & a fair amount of Delusional Golds. This is why we can't have nice things. I suppose we should be thankful for the few Bronze and occasional Greens that smatter our world.
