this is an idea i just got in my head and spent around 2 seconds thinking about, but what if they just made IR a orange mod

No, can you stop spreading false information

No, V switching does nothing else than move your camera & crosshair.

The only advantage that V switching mid fight gives you is moving your crosshair left or right. If used correctly in close range it can minimize the time to readjust your aim should you have to. Using this the right way (not just spamming it like an idiot) is a nice high skill technique that rewards those who practice it. It shouldn't be crippled at all. The same goes for people who use the lean function correctly. We don't need to cripple whatever skillgaps are still existent. Edit: Of course it's not just close range where it's useful. It works at long range too, especially snipers can benefit from the crosshair movement since at a certain distance (don't have the exact number in my head, you just kinda feel it) the V switch moves the crosshair the perfect distance to land on strafing and dodging enemies.

The reason people are better than you after 2 years is because the good players that beat you have been here for atleast 3 times that amount Gotta stock up on them years lad

Lets say I coudlve payed off 8% off my student debt instead

Red names for scanning in general. When looking through glass or doors that hide player names, I go off of the memory of the enemies character in my head. When the opportunity arises I can also use this to my advantage by quickly swapping to a different character outfit. A good amount of players will think you are a seperate player from the mission aslong as they can't see your red tag. It's a very situational strat though. Also keep in mind to run with your secondary out while trying this so they can't identify you with the help of the scoreboard.

Don't wanna be that guy but a GM being professional in his ways is the bare minimum imo. Sadly this standard seems to rarely be kept these days so I will commend anyone who can keep it uo.

oof necro

Gunplay is the one thing that has been consistently enjoyable through out the yearts. Apart from some weapon imbalances, it's just right for what APB is. Changing anything major here would be an awful move imo.

Remove it from everywhere cause its a stupid mod

The car didn't want to be a criminal

lets not jump to conclusions here

Rank 30 seems rather low, I'd say 50 atleast. Otherwise nice change.

Before they can change core mechanics, they need to fix the core of the game. If they try to change any major mechanic in this mess of an engine, it wouldn't surprise me if the game explodes.

Yellow veterans mess with newbies. I can't recall ever seeing a veteran that's also a good player abuse anyone like that. They might type once in chat if they had some bad games, but even that is rare. Please don't lump all vets together ty.

Let it sink in that this was almost 9 years ago

There was a cheater streaming earlier, me and speed reported his twitch and it got banned in like 20 seconds. That was equally amazing as it was terrifying

Dog Ear is fine to be honest. It takes like 2 mags to kill a modded pioneer/espacio, which is more than enough for it to get away. Dog Ear only really shines in vehicle missions. If you like Dog Ear for killing people, try the oblivion. That thing has a 4 shot range of like 90m or something.

You know what they should do? Take gold 8-10 and recolor it to platinum. Don't change anything else just recolor it. It wouldn't be a fix but atleast you'd know what you are up against. That can work until they actually change the system. Edit: Actually make it: 1-4 displayed as gold 5-7 displayed as platinum 8-10 displayed as diamond Visual change only, everything is treated like right now. I'd guess giving a better indicator of what you are up against would ease the mind of some people atleast. Also maybe more players will try to improve to reach those new shiny colors.

Looking at your forum history you haven't enjoyed this game for 5 years

While I do agree that too much information regarding who got banned will lead to toxicity. I do very much believe that posts like these atleast once a while should definitely be something you actually do without a special reason, because it gives reassurement to everyone else that you are working on it.

You do have a point, perhaps I exaggerated this entire high threat point of mine. I want to point out though, that it's not so much about winning or losing. I have beaten cheaters in the past, but the real problem is that it's just not enjoyable to play such a mission, whether you win or lose. Sure, if you roll some cheaters it does feel great to know that you were better, but once you're up against them for the fifth time in a row, not so much. Yeah, I did point out that it was a short term solution. As I said above it can be a temporary band-aid fix for when the problem is larger than usual.
