Ban-Hammer Hooooo!! - APB Reloaded to purge the cheaters

There're many competitive online games that have you blaming a 'hacker' when you die from a really sketchy looking shot. If your playing APB though, chances are you're probably right. For a lot of people, including me, the amount of people cheating in APB has been a huge reason why they don't play the game anymore. No one wants to invest time into their character only to spend the evening dying over and over to some sketchy fellows with really annoying death jingles. (APB players know what I mean)

The devs are looking to deal a big blow to the cheaters out there, claiming on their dev blog that you will be caught, and even if you make another account you'll just be banned again, and eventually permanently. They even offer amnesty to cheaters who have a sudden 'change of heart' before they receive a permanent ban on their account. I say ban the kids swiftly and permanently so you can focus on actually fixing the gameplay issues. Because if APB stays as is, there definitely won't be any cheaters a year from now, cause the game probably won't be around anymore.  

APB Reloaded video beta preview

Yes, another rerelease, this time it's APB Reloaded by Gamers First.

Alright, it just disolves into me and Erik ramming dudes... but you really don't have anything better to do with your time, so check out the video after the break.
