I think the scope in which you can make changes in the game is very limited.

The best thing u can do for the matchmaking(even right now)Bring back the threat districts and lock them only for players same threat.In same time bring the free for all district everybody play right now in live game.U call it mixed/fusion or whatever you want district.Is possible..to have the threat districts and one for all in same time cause if you remember gold players was capable to enter silver dist,silver-bronze dist. etc.

Basically what we need is mix between the current way we play in live game and the old way with the threat districts.Thats how if u want u can find fair matches in ur own threat dist. or play in the free 4 all dist. if theres not enough players(like in NA case)

Threat districts ruined this game. They need to remove threat entirely and match based on quantity only, like the thousands of successful games did prior to when casuals got into video games.

He means like just 3v3 or 4v4 etc which is crazy means even worse than what we have right now.Now everybody are in 1 place but at least the system tries to match available skill players.If they remove even the player threat-thats open conflict dist.Hes not thinkin i guess..

Bringing back threat locked districts will only make matchmaking worse. Players of lower skill will go up in threat because they will never face anyone better than them. Then when their threat is too high they'll be forced into the next threat level district, and get destroyed. If that's what you want, then just remove threat. Same outcome except without the dethreating.

I have been a member of APB Reloaded almost since it's inception, for a few years i didn't post anything on the forums but commented with other players in game. I left a few years ago because the previous owners and staff were too lenient with some veterans , including entire gangs/clans, who were using scripts and hacks that allowed them to shoot faster than the weapon normally allows them to shoot, had no recoil, etc.  We even had one of the past staff members post that "banning veterans who were using scripts and hacks was not fair because they had already put in a lot of time into the game."  I am posting here to see if there has been any changes to this and to see whether it is worth it to comeback to the game. If it is still the same I will be gone once more. This game used to be good for a while until the past owners and staff decided to allow certain people some hacks and scripts.

Gold = 4
Silver = 2
Bronze = 1
Green = 0.5
T = 0.5
calculate players amount  by the values above
1 gold player is 2 silver players and so on

@FLCop those were ppl editing gun stats in client while those were loaded in memory not sure if there is anyone from them who actually remembers those times forget about the ppl who actually was doing it
or ppl who were disabling recoil by enabling 1 ini change xD

Я обращаюсь ко всем честным игрокам. Orbit не борется с читерами, им плевать на нас. Давайте не будем выходить на игру на выходные.

I liked the “don’t search (or not join the team)” button, yes, I played alone against 2-3 players, according to the style, they gave me those who weren’t very pumped up in terms of skills and weapons (I don’t know how the game did it, but it did ), and each side had an adequate chance, I alone with the knowledge of how to deal with the group, they with the advantage of numerical superiority over inexperience. And when I realized that were not beginners against me, but twinks who were not specifically leveling up, or who were equipping cool weapons already in the process of participating, I had a trump card - to wait for AFK, and thereby retaliate against their impudence. What now? I get into a team with a cool ally, or a group of them, they just leave, and I still find myself alone against the group, but already cool, this is not cool. 

Often, allies simply shoot at me so that I respond and then get kicked out of the team. A couple more slobs about AFK, why do you throw people off the map if they are, say, just sitting in a sniper in an ambush? Why are you making people nervous by putting into their heads the idea that they have to run and shoot, because they will throw him off the map, instead of a fun game, for example, hide and seek, when I write to him directly in the chat, what I see, and so that he grows above himself and changes tactics. And he changes, he learns. Why did you turn an interesting game into a stupid grind like KS, why did you introduce guns that even knock down Kevlar, rocket launchers, just illogical nonsense. A look at the fleet of cars, 4x4 fast cars just fly away from a newcomer with a load, or catch up with him on anything with passengers on the roof, armored indestructible tanks with a nuclear engine. With this approach, it doesn’t matter what the threat and strength of the parties will be, where everything is decided by the cheat, the features of the mouse and the investment of real money, not even the experience of the game. You definitely want to make the game better, and not profit from it, how much patience will true fans have?
