Are there a lot of goons on the European servers or should I just go straight for the NA servers? I recall the lag being manageable from playing the beta.

Getting arrested is humiliating and crims are whiny babies. LTL is painfully underpowered compared to normal guns.

They can run, jump, fall and take damage, climb ladders, no radar blips and not a single sound comes from them until pewpewpewpewpew.

None of those things have ever resulted in radar blips. Only moving in a car and firing a weapon shows up on the radar.

Yes, we want to start properly defining style of factions so you could tell at a glance if a player is enforcer or criminal. This doesn't mean to say that enforcers will always be given a tactical / military look, there is a lot more content coming for each faction.

And soon all of Youtube will be blocked in Germany. I'm considering paying for a full-time Russian proxy



Considering Happy Landings 3, you don't take health damage from falling with it, but you DO take Stamina damage. Keep that in mind if you're a dirty criminal and you're fighting some idiot cop with LTL.

I've put everything you need into this archive:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/229862/Shaders/Shaders_0301.7z

Just unzip into your steamapps/common folder or wherever APB's root folder is. (The first folder in the archive is APB Reloaded)

In the Engine/Shaders folder, modify the file called APBUberPostProcessBlendPixelShader.usf in notepad.

Line 77 I put a comment to change the numbers to whatever screen resolution you play in. It's currently 1440x900. Doing a Ctrl+F for 1440 will find the values.

Does that fix the bug where the screen flashes black when you hit metal a certain way?

Pioneer: Great if you're not really concerned with getting anywhere quickly but like getting as close to the combat as possible. Don't get me wrong, the car's got a decent top speed, it just takes a little while to get to it. It's not the most fun car to drive but it's easily one of the most reliable, so in my mind you'll want to slot it with mobile supply unit and armour plating. Armour plating means it'll be a fair bit slower, sure, but it also means that rockets are a non-issue

This is wrong. The Pioneer is the car that gets the most benefit from Nitro. Hit that NOS bottle and it'll out-accelerate a Cisco or catch up to a Bishada on a straight.
And Armor Plating only reduces damage from bullets, not from explosives.

I got tagged by a HVR and killed by one shot from a Whisper at about 30m away. How is this even possible.

The Whisper does full damage up to 50m. The normal OCA has damage falloff after 30m.

I think the whisper has a very slightly longer effective range than the OCA and obviously less recoil but I think both guns can be used comparably.

Don't forget the sweet-rear end parka Crims get in that paramilitary pack thing. As "compensation" for the "Enforcer-looking" tactical pack from last year. Which wasn't faction restricted.
