All Points Bulletin Reloaded Review

In conclusion This game is a great game and if your system can reach the requirements i suggest you download this game and try it. Great game, Great community of people. Theres more to APB then just the average “shoot em up” FPS game.

In conclusion I would like to say that this game is certainly worth playing, especially with friends. You need good co-ordination and strategy to overcome your opponents and off course not being too trigger happy if you want to kill. It”s a hard game to master but once you do, you will enjoy it.

The game had a lot of flaws and is considered a “pay to win” game. But I can confirm that that”s simply just not true. I haven”t spent a single cent on it, as of yet and I”m pretty much one of the best players on my server, Patriot, without using any premium content.

Now, the game still has some balance issues and there is still some hackers running around (unless you”re playing on US servers, the difference is amazing) but G1 is slowly banning them all. Sadly though, some of them just hop back in again.

However, the game is one of the most fun I ever had in games, and that is simply the joy of winning a match. It feels so good and it”s rewarding in it”s own way. It can be quite annoying to play with strangers, people you don”t know. I”ve been playing a lot of those hours with a friend, together. We started at the same time, and that”s what I”d suggest you to do it, too. The game is the perfect group based shooter, sort of like you”re playing co-op, if that”s your kind of thing. Don”t get me wrong, though, playing it alone is a hell of a fun, too.

And then there”s the praised and well known customization. It”s something you haven”t seen in any game yet. It really is astounding what Realtime Worlds did here. It”s one of the best features of the game. You can literally look how you want. From a comic figure to a real person, or even yourself. No one looks the same in APB.

G1 has fixed a lot of things, from balance to optimization and is still doing so. So, if you”re bored and you”re looking for a new f2p MMO, THIS is it.

Lush with some of most complex character and vehicular customization ever conceived in an online game, APB: Reloaded is back with a blazing second wind! And a well-deserved one, at that – GamersFirst made a smart move in purchasing the rights to it, carefully nursing it back to health before officially releasing it on Steam in December as a free to play title.

The neverending combat between Enforcers and Criminals has been cranked up to be faster, more responsive, and many times deadlier. Shotguns, for instance, are now designed to utterly destroy your enemy in a few well-placed blasts. Rifles each have distinctly noticeable recoil and can pick off enemies at a distance. Enforcers even have an array of LTL (Less-Than-Lethal) weapons which they can use to stun criminals. And don’t forget the car-wrecking OSMAW rocket launcher, one of the most feared weapons in the game. All of these weapons can be upgraded with modifications that can customize them even further – such as Cooling Jacket, which increases rate of fire. or Hunting Sight, which improves long range accuracy so you can finish off that poor sap running away from you.

Don’t expect to mow your way through a wall of helpless enemies all by yourself – the key to victory in APB:Reloaded is TEAMWORK. The opposition you face in this game is hostile, merciless, and will stop at nothing to prevent you from beating them. They WILL be well coordinated, they WILL be highly competitive, and they WILL smash you into pieces unless you find teammates who can work well with you. Being able to aim is a definite plus, but team strategy and preparation are crucial to winning missions, especially as you level up and play against more difficult enemies.

One area where APB:Reloaded REALLY shines is the massive amount of character and vehicular customization there is to offer. You’ll be able to change a large range of things in your character’s appearance, including piercings, tattoos, weight, and muscle definition. As for clothing, you can selectively pick out your character’s outfit, such as fingerless gloves, leather jackets, hoodies, jeans, and blazers. Then you can add any sort of imaginable design to them that you could imagine of via the game’s complex symbol creator. Ever thought of recreating a cartoon character, superhero, or ex-girlfriend in a videogame? You can literally do it in APB:Reloaded, and convincingly too – if you’re creative (or crazy) enough. Vehicles also utilize the same symbol system for their customization, making for some pretty awesome-looking rides. The sky’s the limit when it comes to creativity in this game.

Of course, no game is perfect. One of APB:Reloaded’s largest weaknesses is an effective matchmaking system. This means that you could be an entirely new player facing off against a team of very experienced opponents. To have any chance at all of surviving, you would need to play with a group of experienced players who are just as experienced, and learn their techniques and tactics. This “baptism by fire” approach to introducing newbies into the game is hardly fair, but the development team doesn’t seem keen on changing it at the moment. Maybe if enough people yell about it on the forums, they will.

Another thing to watch out for is the business model GamersFirst uses. APB:Reloaded is free, but at the end of every other completed mission they will launch a pop-up asking you to buy premium status, which will give you more money/experience bonuses and more symbols for customization. It can be annoying if you are a free player and don’t intend to go premium. GamersFirst also uses microtransactions to profit, meaning they offer unique Armas market weapons featuring small advantages for a chunk of real life money. The current Armas weapons are good, but also have shortcomings to maintain weapon balance. For instance, the OCA Whisper submachinegun has a built-in sound suppressor and an extended 50m range. But it can’t fire as fast as an OCA that somebody modded with Cooling Jacket 3, which would definitely outdo the Whisper in a rate of fire comparison. Long story short – paid Armas weapons are sick, but for now, many of them are easily outdone by free weapons that are appropriately modded.

If you are a looking for a massive open-world urban MMOTPS with lots and lots of customization features, APB:Reloaded may just be the love of your life. It has its issues, but it’s a very recent release and one can trust that GamersFirst’s small development team will do their best to improve it over time.
