By now you've probably heard that ZolarKeth and I are working on the new map for Apocalypse Rising, and with it, v5.0.0. The map will be a reimagined version of the original Apoc map, and yes, we're bringing back Hark, Vernal, and Kin. But in case you missed the news... Allow me to list the features of the new map, and some differences between it, and the current Amend map: -The map is slightly smaller in size, compared to Amend map -Player spawn locations are all around the outside edges of the map, no longer on one edge -The terrain (hills) are geometric, rather than round and bumpy -There are no military airfields or permanent military structures, preventing players from all going to one place -Military loot is evenly scattered across the entire map, in low densities -Kin, the largest of the three cities, is five times the size of Amend and features 4-5 story buildings, all with roof access -Most large buildings now have climbable trusses that allow for roof access -In addition to the three cities, there are only five smaller towns in the map, not 18 like in the Amend map -11 unique areas scatter the entire map, each with special characteristics that give them their pros and cons -Larger rocks for better cover -Randomly dispersed trees -The brick count is only a few thousand more than the Amend map You're probably wondering why v5.0.0 isn't released yet. Of course, there's much more to v5.0.0 than just the map. Let me put it this way; if you thought that v4.0.0 was a big update, then after this update you'll be calling Apocalypse Rising a "Game" that just so happens to run on the Roblox "Engine". This update will be adding features that will change the gameplay of Apocalypse Rising forever, and in more ways than one. Apoc will be more immersive, more fun, and even more balanced than it already is. We'll be taking systems that have been in place since the creation of the game, and reworkng them to be something far more extraordinary than originally expected. What's the point? v5.0.0 will be the biggest update for Apocalypse Rising in the entire history of the game. The features we're adding have been on our list for months, and I guarantee the players will rejoice at the result. We hope to release v5.0.0 sometime around the first week of May. But it's entirely possible for the update to take longer than that to develop, so don't get too excited. Whew... It's hard to believe that May 1st will be the 10th consecutive month ZolarKeth and I will have spent developing Apocalypse Rising. It really goes to show how time and dedication can produce something great. Keep an eye out for Apoc development updates on my twitter @Gusmanak. Thanks, Gus

This game WAS my favorite game. Then deadzone came out. But it got bigger, laggier.. I hope you use fewer bricks. So we can all play this game best as possible.
