In the latest APB: Reloaded dev blog entry, Designer Zak "Qwentle" Littwin gives all sorts of details on the changes that players can expect to see in the upcoming closed beta. The post is quite lengthy, so here are the highlights:

• Gameplay changes will include integrated cheat detection, weapon modifications (damage, recoil, accuracy) and other general tweaks (marksmanship, witnessing, camera position).
• There are some major changes to the progression system. For example, organization standing has been removed, High-level vehicles are now using a slightly different unlock system, and the cost for most items has drastically increased.
• Vehicle changes include the removal of the Han Cellente starting vehicle and some big updates to the Balkan Kolva dump truck. The truck is now a rare find and has increased weight, torque and health.

Littwin also teases at four other topics that will be discussed in future blog posts: what you actually get for being a paid premium member, the configuration of leased weapons, the new game modes, and the actual details about the new Asylum map.
