New Free to Play on Steam - APB Reloaded

[517Houston]

APB Reloaded is now Free to Play on Steam! Jump in before December 19th and receive a Premium Upgrade Pack!

The city of San Paro is a crime-ravaged metropolis in the midst of political upheaval. The introduction of the City Security Act has caused the creation of the Enforcers, licensed vigilantes who take to the streets in an effort to stop the Criminals where the Cops couldn't. The Enforcer faction believes that it is a force for good; the Criminal faction believes that its city and freedom are under threat.
Which faction will you join: Criminal or Enforcer?

Ok make me a great pleasure...Dont ever talk about APB anymore This game was epic...not really well finished as always now but epic...and Fkin EAgames ruined it with their dumb economic system; for explaination...you can ONLY pay your monthly connection with VISA, Mastercard, etc..No pre-paid card. And you must buy some point with real dollar to keep playing OR you can trade on Market place virtual dollars/stuff/items against point/virtual dollars. If u smart and productive enough, u can easily sell enough stuff to get enough Vdollar to get points...I've played three month free with this system.

So the game stopped after 3 month.

Making it Free to play wont change a thing...it was already Kevin's land (mean 13yo kids who get their account and stuff paid by Visa's dad/mom/w.e...even if game is PEGI18) before the game become free to play...so i dont imagine how it will turn soon.

I get my free pass for the closed beta...i DLed the game, installed it and can't never log...the game froze right after i hitted the "enter" key, and every time after that....same result.
Another friend who got his beta key too succeded in loggin...even with a Quad core and a GTX520 the game was laggy has hell, cars got a delay of 1sec between pressing the key and turning. Im curious to see if they solved all the problem (Display, texture, crash, unbalanced matchmaking) from the previous version...and most principal: solved the hackers issue. That was another thing who ruined the game.

And another major playing problem was the unbalanced power of Enforcers...Non-Lethal Weapon...worse weapon ever in a game. 4 shot ur criminal is stunned for at least 20 sec...and that leaves enforcer all the time to handcuffs you...Lame and so noobish. Lvl 75 criminal owned by two lvl 4 Enforcers with NLW. 1-Stupid matchmaking...2-Stupid weapon...
They nerfed that in one of the lattest patch...took 6 shot instead of 4...once again to explain, with criminal and lethal weapon it takes about a full clip of AK even on short range.

So if the game does not riquire a enormous config to run...maybe i'll dl it to see what's changed.

Most online retailers won't accept pre-paid cards since there is no way to verify a billing address with them. Saints row 3 on APB.

Same thing with DC universe. Loads of hype, paid servers, game sucked no1 played, game is now free on Steam.

 

[RikuX2]

Didn't DC universe get another million players when it went FTP?

 

[DamageINC]

I'm sure it did. Probably lost half of em too after they played. I was one they lost. Game was horrible, IMO.

Well that sucks. It sounds awesome teaming up with batman to take down the joker...whilst looking like a condom.
