Don't get me wrong, this is a nice way to promote things, especially APBs customization where you can say "this car was made in the in-game editor", but out of all the cars with extensive kits to promote the game with, they hand out calabrias with a simple design, a car that everyone replaces as fast as possible, which offers no customization outside of wheels and police lightbars. Are they afraid a preset bishada/jericho/vegas would be overpowered or would reduce kit sales? The previous promotion that included a car was from Computerbild Spiele, a german magazine - G1 went all out with this one and gave players a cisco with a back then unreleased kit and a unique design, which made the car special and people actually wanted it.

Wow, really? And I thought the Computerbild Spiele promotion that gave people a Charge Cisco was bad.

I love when people whine about LTL. It really makes people salty, but they fail to realize that under all that salt, all LTL weapons are not only weaker than lethal weapons, but you also have to go and arrest them. The only argueably overpowered thing regarding LTL is pig+perc, but that's rather the fault of the percs, and that's not an LTL grenade.

Not really, the average player doesn't get streamsniped and griefed by 20 people at once.

Doesn't the console version also miss the theme and music kiosks?

Though the few popular streamers that played it didn't really like it, and have been streamsniped and griefed to hell.

I really miss those APB news videos. There was a great channel and the guys have put a lot of work into their videos back in the day, but that channel and its videos don't exist anymore (I never unsubbed, and they're gone from my list). This looks like a nice format and we kinda need something like that on YouTube to gain popularity, as no one is really making videos for APB at all, besides montages.

Oh man I still miss the old vaquero. It was so much fun to drive. Now it's a mikro.

Its like a submarine. You open a window and the problems begin.

Back then we didn't have as many guns as we had now, and people stuck to the FBW for close range (back then 5 shots to kill) and RSA/ACT for longer range when they had an OCA or a shotgun. When the first batch of weapons have been released (Whisper PR1, Scoped N-TEC PR1, ACT44 GM PR1), two of these were vastly superior to their free versions. He's got a point, but most people still used the FBW, RFP or SAS, so the ACT never really stood out with its paid variant.

nvm i mis-read

Yeah, I agree. I don't have a problem with grindy things like achievements. But during a festive period, this seems weirdly placed.

I mean yeah, it did get better, but there's still *that* kind of stuff.

I think rebalancing all vehicles would make this a lot less of an issue.

I find this incredibly funny considering they said they didn't want to repeat this "you have to log in almost every day during the event and play" mistake. Not to mention that some people have work and spend their free time elsewhere. Especially on christmas!

...how are they out of balance? You probably don't understand for whatever reason, maybe you've never tried it - but we had access to the snowballs and hohohopgl for years. Even with the little buff it got, it's not gamebreaking and you're actually at a disadvantage if you use one, even with the buff.

Seriously though, we could use it all these years prior to this year. A little buff to it doesn't suddenly make it a butcher OPGL that absolutely ruins missions.

You won't stay around for long enough to become a regular member if you continue behaving like this though, so why do you care?

Still isn't a reason to disallow players from equipping it.

Car gameplay works surprisingly well in the snowball districts, didn't think that it's super strong against vehicles. After all the snowballs are still impact grenades with a very very small blast radius, travel time, drop and windup. Don't think it'd make mission districts unbalanced.

That's not really a reason to remove it from other districts, seeing as you're still at a massive handicap if you use one.

Why do you think I'm trolling?

.... whaaaat? I've had so much fun using these in regular missions. Aw man.

Exactly this. Though explosives 3 could need a slight nerf. The range on it for heavy vehicles is absurd.

Yes
