Here's my proof of how most of players played back then before most (if not all) moved onto Steam: https://www.gamersfirst.com/download/ And you know that was first way to play this game. Also Steam back then was tiny platform comparing to today. Some people used it at best to play Source games and it just started to enter other areas. So don't call "bullshoot" on my childhood which I vividly remember. Gosh... you people are miserable.

For that comment, he get like and you get nothing. That's how you all gonna approach skill curve in this game - so be it. If secondary dominates weaker primaries, yes. That's very big problem. It's SECONDARY weapon. But that gave me idea - how about that... let's make it PRIMARY weapon since you so skilled with it? I wanna see you using it only. Oh but no worries, as bonus you can carry proper secondaries too. Btw. I main .45 and while I love design of irl. Colt M1911 I still think it's ridiculous that bought gun is the best in game as secondary. FBW and Nano loses in fire rate, all pocket SMGs in base accuracy and showstopper in bloom. That's simply unacceptable that only "acceptable" option for secondary is that gun and everything else is basically "noob" level. And especially for me is unacceptable fact that face to face some primary CQ guns can lose to this peashooter.

Intel does want to focus on backward compatibility so that diagnosis will be hopefully not true in future.

You talking about Steam like it was universally used back then. LOL. Game for some time wasn't even RELEASED on Steam? Hello? Who are people liking your comment? Are they misguided or don't know history of this game? Clearly both. I'm suprised YOU don't remember history of this game since you been here even earlier than me. And also btw. read with understatement - 20k on each two servers. Each, two servers had 20k.

Taking how G1 killed population in past with nonaction and false promises and then LO stepped in and both took too small fishing rod for too big of fish and also decided to limit their actions to the point they pretty much G1 v.2 in nonaction. I remember when I joined this game we had EU with populations of 20k on each two servers, two instances of NA for both East and West, equally filled to brim, Asian server called Han and Innova which was seperate one but russians at least had their place too. And over years population dropped, servers had to be merged one by one by one so we arrive here... with roughly 500 players at best hours. It's safe to say all the potential was there and was absolutely wasted. And popularity was absolutely ruined. You go to YouTube - type "APB: Reloaded" and the top results are about "Why it's 100 million $ disaster". So safe to say, that ship already sailed. We just facing inevitable. LO would need to do major... And I mean really major changes which would astound players. (Facepunch did that miracle with Rust but I doubt LO is capable to replicate what Facepunch did) Either that or release new APB in background (of course hyping it up first). Problem is franchise was sold to company called "Unit Game" which appears to just sit on title and present it like some trophy. So this game lost it future and really I blame developers (also game population didn't do any favours with cheating in rampant amounts for "people who love this game" and there's also people who treat newbies like "unnecessary evil" and decide to go full ham on them...)

Notification about somebody non-stop winning games is bound to district. You exit district - outside of JT activities, this resets. Witnessing was never overhauled either so if it works like in old system, witnessing is counted as "mission". Is it exploit? To what exactly? If it's JT activities, i'm okey with that...

This tool is useful for checking if servers are accessible: https://will.io/apb/ And so far it seems they are.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

It's still down? HAH.

And then event gonna last like week or two. Screw everyone who are late by let's say... two days. Then they wonder why this game has pop of 300.

Well I can tell you at least I was one false positive and the way I got banned I'm doubtful of many bans which happened thanks to it. (FFBans.org)

I was bullied for year and half for being banned by FF while playing legit. Worst of it... by people who were actively cheating (and many of them found themselves on FF sooner or later). Last thing we need in already toxic community of less than 500 people is dramas. If that's what drag you into APB... I don't think in the end that's game even for you.

Tbh. taking machine learned on such small pop (350 players overall at all times?) and many of said players are extremely dubious (y'know what I mean) - I wouldn't be suprised AI could as well take bad examples and use them as good ones. I know AI is easily misguided personally by usage of different AI systems for various tasks. It focus on thing or two and then lose track of others.

This and absolutely this. Problem is also with objectives, there would need to be a lot of them widespread. Why? Because problem is with mission roles ranking which is slow even in standard MM already. That aside, this allows to spread defending forces thin, allowing for better tactical approach to them.

Now that you mention it. Yeah. Streets are deserted and some are opposite, like traffic jam happened and that's not because of player cars most of time. Not only that, it seems like less cars spawn. Walking on street NPC are about normal still tho. When I was doing 15 levels for Lynette I constantly was having problem with getting any car from the street during matches. Back then I could even choose, now I drive whatever is there, just to secure car.
