The APB: Reloaded dev blog has been highly focused on closed beta invites lately, but the newest entry changes gears and shines the spotlight on a specific gameplay topic: the matchmaking system. GamersFirst CTO and COO Bjorn "TechMech" Book-Larsson points out the flaws of the original All Points Bulletin skill-rating system and says that players can expect it to get better in open beta.

Basically, GamersFirst wants to implement a matchmaking system that uses a variety of characteristics from numerous rating systems. Also, the team plans to create some "skill-level districts" to protect lower rated players from being quickly annihilated in combat. Of courser, lower level players will be able to volunteer to join a higher rated district to play with their friends.
