This is good news. Pt.1 seemed to offer more though, but this is still good. For the curious onlooker, this game works well without paying anything. I myself tend to use either an OCA with 2 slots, which takes some work to unlock, or the standard STAR, the assault you start with. Some of the best guns are the cheapest and you can unlock three slotted weapons, making store purchases not necessary. If you do sink in some money though, I recommend getting a retail code from iceberg's website. You get some points, some premium time, a car (it isn't very good though), a pistol (they changed it after people requested it, much better now), and a choice from four primary weapons. Bring a buddy if you do play it, as it makes all the difference.
cool game but total aim bot city
It is a pure PvP game, which means a lot more people crying foul. The fact that the developers publicly release banned users ingame names shows that they at least care, and even forces them to be honest and face judgement when it is needed. Yes there will be cheaters, but you are unlikely to encounter them on a daily basis.
ohh they will be there. that guy that just headshot you from 200m with his pistol or that other guy who you were waiting for outside the alley and he just turned to you and used 1 bullet only.
They are there, you just turn your back to them.
I know the game has a rep for cheaters but I have logged about 6 hours in missions the last two days and can honestly say I found no one hacking/cheating. I'm not saying there is no cheating in the game but it is a lot less than I remember from back when I used to play a lot.
Don''t play the game, love GTA games but this game surely is dead (very litle players) but if playing 6 hours and not encountering any cheaters is something to boast about... I'm glad I'm not playing this game.
am not so sure this guy is serious or what... xD
I used to get a lot of fun out of the original APB.
But after playing Saints Row 3 I finally see just how horrible driving is in APB compared to SR3.
Not sure if trolling...
There are no headshots in APB, and the max range of weapons in the game is about 102m. One shots with non explosives is next to impossible because you'd have to hack the server to do so.
The update is alright but I'm still waiting on proper content (another district) because after over a thousand or so hours in the Financial district, it does get kinda stale. Would still recommend the game to anyone who likes customisation or shooting though if you don't mind a bit of a learning curve.
No, they are absolutely correct.
I played this game a while back, and it was a TON of fun. Then as I started getting up the ranks I noticed that some of the people I was playing were suspiciously good. And not good as in 'wah they killed me!'. Good as in, hitting me in the face with a pistol repeatedly from max range while I was running and fallling off buildings. Good as in sniping me around a corner with a rocket, without even knowing I was there.
I think the low point (for me), was I started doing a few missions while I was bored one night. I kept getting paired up w/ this one cop w/ a rocket launcher / machine gun. I at first tried to fight her like I normally do (I had gotta fairly skilled by this point), and she started beating me every time. So instead, I started trying to find corners to hide while I figured out a new strategy. What did she do? Without fail, I would see her running straight for me (from an angle where I was invisible, and I had my pistol so my gun wouldn't peep out of the corner), and she should shoot at my corner w/ a rocket from a distance, without ever getting close enough to have known I was there. She kept doing this too, over and over. And I was like, wtf!? I never once saw her blindly shooting other corners either. She knew where I was every time.
Honestly, if they fixed 2 things in the game I would return in a heartbeat:
1) Crack down on the hackers
2) Take away the rocket launchers ability to be shot out of a moving vehicle. That crap is crazy OP.
