People ingame ask about Metro all the time and I tell them why not all the time so I might as well have a forum post about it now so everyone knows: it's not likely to happen any time soon. The original Metro is WELL below the visual quality standards set by Delta - probably the ugliest official map even back in its heyday - and buildings are much harder to spice up than terrain, getting it up to standards would be a massive time-sink and I don't really have the 3ds max skill for that either. Frankly I'd prefer a full remake based on the "Allies roll through Moscow" RA cutscene, as that is obviously much more appropriate for the APB setting than old Metro which looks like 1990s Los Angeles or something, but that's also a big time-sink. Whatever the improvements, I would love to see Metro or a city map but people need to understand that making convincing buildings is not as easy as making convincing terrain.

Would be nice to see this, or another city map make it into the game.

At that point you might as well just run them over - SquishVelocity is 2.0, versus its max speed of 6.5ish. That's a much more lenient squish threshold than damn near every other land vehicle, and for exactly the reasons you'd think

The red alert moscow assault cutscene was actually the design theory for the new metro that drunkill and I concepted together in 2010. I modeled out most of the terrain for the map, but stopped when I realized how big of a project it was to model out a host of unique civvy buildings from scratch, plus all the other props that make a city a city. I have hope that I can do something like this in the future but don't expect anything soon.

Oh man, Alex Jones is the best On that subject, this seems relevant:

storyline and plot wise (biggest to lowest): 1. Dead Space RPG V (chapters, storyline driven gameplay, videos) 2. Death Note Mafia (plot driven gameplay, roles, animation) 3. Got Mafia/Underworld Mafia (roles and plot based on moves/series) 4. RA RPG/APB Mafia (very little plot, focused on gameplay, small twists)
