Sweatin' to the oldies!

I personally fair better with the CCG than the NL9, but the NL9 for me is definitely a viable alternative. I just find myself wanting automatic fire and a bit closer range of attacking versus the longer range NL9, pump action shotgun-like quality of it.

As Songbearer was saying, your success at LtL will increase when you're with other group members with LtL. Mix up the CCG and NL9 and you'll be quite formidable and not to mention little to no stun kills! (I get like half of my stuns killed. I'd be cop rank 15 now instead of a lowly 12 )
If I'm ever on, (NA-East Joker: Jaquai) I'd be more then happy to group up with someone for some LtL action .

I had recently turned gold and wanted to lose a few missions to drop back to silver.

Decided to be an rear end and ran with the packages. It was one of the missions where there are 3 briefcases and you need to deliver 2. I took 2 of them and went to the other side of the map. I guess that pissed off Lou a lot.

Thank you for posting.

Diversification is for pussies.

So I'm trying to drop my rank to silver, since I was a silver 8 before they did their voodoo magic and suddenly decided I was gold. Is there some sort of internal ranking with that, or is a silver just a silver?

The Shocker

My favorite loadout ever is : OSMAW, the 1 shot LTL sidearm(any will work, I just prefer this one), and percussion nades. You're kind of a glass cannon, but you are guaranteed to take home a positive kd/r and more than likely a couple arrests too. Just drive up to your victum, OSMAW their feet, perc nade any survivors, and finish off with your sidearm if there's anything left.

Using the mouth on the Monster T-25 as an example, it's just a case of having multiple decals. I had one decal for the front of the mouth and another one for the corners which I put on the sides, stretching just around the corner of the hood to meet the mouth, then mirrored it. You'll notice a small seam where the corner meets the actual mouth in the big version of the picture, but it's only visible if you're looking for it.

If you wanted to make an image that decently wraps around a car, it might be a good idea to design your decal as a whole, save it, then delete layers to seperate it into sections and save them individually. You can then reapply it to your car section by section, lining up and applying it as seamlessly as possible.

APB is such a delightfully refreshing reminder of how misogynistic and homophobic gamers are as a subculture. I'd forgotten how truly awful they are, tucked away in the bubble of sane people I try to surround myself with in WoW.

Edit: Also, constantly being in a group of r50s going up against a pile of 195s, and the subsequent stomping this entails, is getting really loving tiresome. Is there any way to avoid this poo poo?

I finished the primary role last Wednesday, and Snubby Love on Saturday. I ended up doing ~120 kills in one day on Snubby Love, if you're persistent it's doable. I found it easiest to get a JG, tag them 1-2 times, and swap to the snubnose. Also, fight club is your friend here.

Akion posted:

Not true at all. There's a numerical threat value from -100 to +62 still, and matchmaking uses this number. The displayed threat includes a very wide range, which is why you can get in a match that's 2v2 with all golds but one side has the option to call backup.

I had both roles maxed on 11th. I tried using PMG and switching, but I found counting bullets tiresome, so I just switched to CCG and stunned my snubby victims before killing them.

Thanks to the new system that now ~becomes certain~ of your threat after you have played a good chunk, you will have to lose and lose hard. There have been reports from users on G1's forums claiming that even after force-closing (essentially losing) their game 50+ times they still retained their gold threat. Most of the users testing it had been playing for quite some time though, enough for the system to say "oh you're definitely gold enjoy HELL".
