Since early beginning it was obvious that LO is just rebadged G1 and/or even worse. Bottle royale no one asked for, selling APB brand to some shady chinese company, messing with mods and weapons in a way no one asked for, questionable engine upgrade which looks like band-aid ported 2015 console build.
Yes, game is truly dead and full of cheaters. Cheaters were a less of problem with 2000 people playing cause you could switch district or wait few minutes and avoid them but now it is impossible.
