you don't need to even pay a dollar to do well in this game, me and a buddy were playing it and winning the majority of the time with the free stuff.

I agree.  I get tons of kills and wins with the starter guns and I see no reason anybody would hate on this game.  

It's a good game and even though it may not be your cup of tea some people do enjoy it.

 When did this website become a slam pit where everygame that ever comes out sucks dick if it's not exactly what this small niche crowd of nay sayers, over hypers, and fanbois want.

Hackers is its main prob and I don't see that changing.

its the matchmaking thats is messed up imo , and i think walmart still has the first apb on its shelves :)

Hackers everywhere and the producer (John Neume) has done nothing to push the game forward.

edit: played since RTW.  Hacks/aimbots worse than then.  I have reported numerous hackers only to see them create new accounts.  Game is completely unplayable in its current form  unless you hack.

Don't believe me?  Visit the forums and see what their #1 complaint is:  http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?showforum=631

(visit the social forums)

Otherwise, this game is just like WarRock (in terms of hackers).

You can pickup a working title and re-think it in the short term and still lose. This is sadly the case.  I hope thier cash in was worth the loss. We the game com. don't forget soon enough. The lack of support and care of hackers shows the lack of investment.

i thought APB: Reloaded was F2P ? why pay $30 for a F2P game? with $50 ingame weapon ... no thx

Its no different to what was done with Crime Craft Bleedout. CC was already F2p and the first episode of Bleedout was free too. The Bleedout pack gave you the game client, 60 days of first tier paid game time (game has 2 tiers of subs), some ingame items, and the first 3 bleedout episodes (handed out at one per 7 days) for the price they asked.

As for APB the game is good, they did screw up Royal with patch 1.5.2 and broke the matchmaking and threat systems however those are now fixed. Matchmaking is good but not perfect, backup call in system still needs some work.

The free Default assault rifle is fine and I still use it even at Rank 175. You can also hire other weapons for 10 days at a time with a small fee. The only cash shop item I have seen that is even repotely P2Win is the OCA whisper and that is only because it is silenced which makes it feel OP (yes I hired it for 30 days to try).

Beyond that the game is quite good, if you like the GTA series you will most likely love APB:R :)

Cheaters (some mistakenly call them hackers) are still a problem though, just like in Crime Craft (though in APB its not as bad since it doesnt have headshots like in CC). Not sure how they intend to address that pretty much every F2P online shooter has a cheating problem.

I'm confused how anyone could still think this game was even worth thinking about

too many hackers, i am not going to buy this.
