APB - All Points Bulletin

[iDavid]

APB is easy as hell to install.. you don't even have to do anything. -_-

Imo, the things making something hard is the things in life that takes time...

Getting a professional football player is hard, as it takes a lot of time of practicing.
Taking a good education is hard, it takes a darn long time to become a lawyer.

Life is time, it's all you'll need.

wat

How would you expect to recieve the content, then?

[iDavid]

Well, are those patches really that fucking amazing? Stupid imo, but Idk...

Anyways.. Can I register a user on APB with the serial before getting done with the install? :razz:

Realtime Worlds, the company that made it, collapsed today under three million pounds of debt.
Activision has plans for hiring the staff, and offering them positions overseas. It won't be taking over Realtime Worlds, or any of it's projects, including APB. I assume there will be no further support for the game...

[Pandalink]

"Three million pounds" should really be preceded by "only".
There will be a long period of administration, and then a buyer will likely take on the project.

Hopefully, they will find a better business model. Personally I think the RTW points system perfectly suits microtransaction models, perhaps they will go for that.
Either way, a finished MMO with a playerbase of any kind and running servers isn't just going to be ditched. MyWorld will be thrown out, but APB.. no way.

They better not fuck up right now *_*

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

I was @ 98 percent of the patch download and I get this f**king error D:

The download just stopped, and right now I'm afraid of what to do D:

Please help ;(

Hmm... For once I used my brain and pressed the "Repair" button x)

What lag? :|

[iDavid]

What lag? :|

I guess my PC ain't the thing :razz: Even though it beats the 'recommended' EASY...
It's the car's & the radio music that lags...

Well, I got a 64x Vista... I'll soon enough either degrade it or upgrade it... XP vs. Seven - Give me a clear hand :razz:

The weapons are fairly balanced at the moment.

The N-HVR is the best sniper rifle. Don't bother with the DMR.
The Obeya is the best semi automatic rifle. Don't bother with the OBIR.
The N-Tec (AK47) is the most effective automatic at long/mid range. Don't bother with the SHAW.
The OCA (MP5K) is the best short/mid range automatic.
The JG is the best point blank shotgun, if you can aim. Don't bother with the NFAS.

The N HVR is better then the DMR, but it depends how u use it. my friend completely rapes face with the DMR, And the OBEYA does not beat the obir if u can aim with the obir.. i beat a Obeya 3 slot with the OBIR Jesse James.. and i've seen a guy with a 2 slot shaw own a guy with a n tec dvah. and the NFAS is good, but the JG is stronger. NFAS u can just hold and point... really every gun on APB is really how u play. it's not one certain gun that can't beat another gun. But the most USED guns are the N tec and OCA. The OBIR in Beta use to rape fucking face, with savage 3 it was a 2 shot burst. i think it's the same but i haven't tried it. they removed the 3 slot OBIR because it was so over powdered.

Use quote tags, Nick..

my friend completely rapes face with the DMR,

He should just use the HVR then, and he would rape several more faces.

And the OBEYA does not beat the obir if u can aim with the obir..

> Implying the OBIR shoots where you aim it.

The OBIR in Beta use to rape f**king face, with savage 3 it was a 2 shot burst. i think it's the same but i haven't tried it.

Well there you go then.
At release they decreased OBIR damage, accuracy, and increased the accuracy penalty when moving. It's even worse in 1.4.1. where the recoil is a bit too jumpy for a burst fire rifle to really be effective.

And how exactly has this lost them money? The RTW points were still bought into the market.

People will once buy a whole bunch of them at the start and then simply exchange that for some bonuses with eachother. Means no more money to them.
