To be honest the game would be a lot better if the interfaces and everything in general was less complicated. If you figure out how to play the game properly then it's not that bad. There are still some un-balanced weapons however which are annoying to try and fight against.

This game has a great concept, customisation system, and variety, however, unfortunatly, very poorly executed, in a nutshell, it's a Pay 2 Win GTA-Style MMO that had great potential, but it went down the drain, it's a very fun game for the first few hours you play it, but as the missions spiral on, you start to see the problems seep in through the cracks...
1. As a free player myself, i've noticed it's extremely hard to get anything you want that is upper-class without upgrading to a premium account or using real money.
2. The whole "Cops vs Criminals" thing is broken, the Enforcers cannot make any worthwhile cash if the Criminals don't ready up for a mission, and because of this, there are some desperate Enforcers i've encountered that have begged the Criminals to ready up on low-pop areas, and most of the time nothing will happen, and they get to the point where they actively try to instigate a mission by following you and waiting for you to do something they can use as a means to dispatch against you, and the Criminals are usually grinding for something expensive, as to why they aren't wanting to go on a mission, so if you don't notice one, you'll lose all your money and progress from that 40 minutes of grinding if they kill you. And the Criminals can't do anything about it
3. Another point on Paragragh one, the P2W aspect is a catastrophic problem in matchmaking, even on high-pop areas, the game doesen't effectively balance matches even in mission areas, where it's sorted via skill compatability, not availability, and yet my friends and I (Bronze to Silver threat levels) get frequently put up against Gold-Tier Enforcers, who are either Wallet Warriors, or people who sweat so hard over the game it's not fun.
Also it's kind of ironic seeing that the company who made a Pay-2-Win game is called "GamersFirst".

A great game and idea with many, Many, MANY issues.
APB offers a great PVP open world experience which moves away from the sandboxy part of open world games and instead focuses on combat. It lets you use your own style with its impressive amount of customization and you can choice from a decent amount of cars and guns.
However the downsides to this game.
The company that is developing it, is complete cancer.
It's not P2W but it is P2P (Pay to progress) which makes it less satisfying to be a highest rank player for people who did it legit.
There used to be alot of hackers and still is but this problem has been handled suprisingly well by Gamerfirst recently. The new FairFight system is doing a good job however has also brought some incidents of "False ban waves" which some i know have gotten hit by.
It's verry verry badly optimized. Don't let the low minimun specs fool you. It can only use 1-2 Cores (Mostly 1) and that core needs to be above 3.5GHz for a modern CPU for the frame rate to be above 60. They're 'developing' the game for a new engine that's suposed to fix these issues however i've lost my hope sense it's around 2 years late now if not more.

Honestly one of the highest quality games i've ever played. The anti-cheat is phenomenal, after nearly 5 years of playing this game I barely noticed any players cheating in this video game! You can count on the reliable staff to solve any issues or help you with any problems you may have. Speaking of the staff, one of their best qualities is that they listen to every single word that the community has to say... they REALLY deliver, honestly they're some of the most reliable and knowledgable people i've seen to run a game and it's been a pleasure to be apart of their community over the years. You can tell that this game is highly cared for by the people running it and it's getting better and better everyday because of it! Game on!

I think that APB Reloaded is a fun game to play and it reminds me of Saints Row but an online version! I think that the character customization looks good and detailed and one of the downsides to customising your character is that you need in game money to buy the clothes to wear them. Another downside to this game is that sometimes the connection to the games server isn't that good and you get kicked from the game session because of this. I like the fact you can upload your own music into this game so you don't have to listen to the garbage music already in the game radio. So i reccomend this game. :-)

APB-Reloaded ( ALL POINTS BULLETIN-RELOADED ).
About the game :
At the start when u login u can chose between : Citadel , Jericho , Hong Kong .
After u choose a server u have to choose a faction between '' Criminals '' and '' Enforcer '' after u chose a faction u like u can create your own character ( but u cant move from the servers ).
As Enforcer u have two different type of contacts : First ''Prentiss tigers'' and second u have '' Shadow strike ''. If u chose Criminal u have : ''Blood roses'' and '' G-Kings ''.
After u created your character u can make the Tutorial or join any district and press T to see tutorial.
In this game u have five different district u can chose. First u have '' Financial District '' in this district u can play missions and rank your self , there is two different '' Financial Districts'' first is the one where u can get any threat u want and in the second one u play and doesn't matter if u win or lose you wont lose your threat . Second map is '' Waterfront District '' its similar to '' Financial District '' there is just the map different and u have district when u can lose your threat and in the second doesn't matter . Third districts are '' Fight clubs '' there are two Fight clubs : First The Asylum and Second Baylan shipping . In this Fight clubs u play to collect special money called Jt ( Joker Tickets ) . With this special money u can go to the last district called '' Social district '' . U can buy or customize clothes , cars .... And if u want special guns or car kits u buy it with your Jt ( Joker tickets ).
At contacts u can buy , clothes , cars , weapons , ..... but the weapon u buy at a contact are only for 10 days . In this game exist weapons with open slots where u can put modifications . If u want to unlock them u need rank your ranks with ( Sniper , shotgun.... ) at rank five u get one slot weapon to buy at a contact for 10 days. If u want to have a permanent character or a permanent account weapon you need to buy it for real money on Armas marketplace . The guns u buy on Armas marketplace have 3 open slot or 3 3 already put in modifications .
Personal thinking of this game :
Its worth to try it out .

Sadly there is nothing between "Thumbs up" and "Thumbs down".
Here's a short list of pros and cons about the game:
Pro:
- Really good character costumization
- Different guns with different playstyles with each gun (and not the same assault rifle 10 times)
- Very teamplay based
- Fun competitive aspect
- Not Pay2Win!!!!!111!1!11!!!eleven!11 (I'll come to that later)
Con:
- One of the toxiest community you will probably ever see
- Not beginner friendly at all
- New players have to progress in the game and expand their arsenal to actually have a chance against experienced players
- Anti-Cheat Engine is a joke
- Matchmaking is broken
- "Threat" (basically elo or "skill level") system doesn't work at all (there are tons of people who lose on purpose to play with lower ranked people)
- Regular server lags (seriously?)
- Cash Shop is way too expensive (at least not pay2win)
- Since it's not Pay2Win, you have to grind all the good shit
One of the biggest misconception about the game is that people say this game is very "Pay2Win".
This isn't actually true, since about 70% of the guns are actually reskins of guns you can actually buy with ingame currency. The other 30% are guns, you can also buy with "Joker-Tickets" (which is just a pure daily mission grindfest).
Other things you can buy with money in this game, are just pure cosmetics, better cars, more customization options and stuff like that. Nothing that would actually boost your combat effectiveness.
So it's actually "Pay2GrindLess" or even "Pay2Enjoy" since buying a premium subscription gives you an additional 125% boost (wtf) to the money you gain after each match.
The only reason I can think of why people say it's pay2win is because they suffer from shit matchmaking and get thrown to way more experienced players who are willing to spend 35 bucks for those awesome weapon reskins.
The idea and the concept are really good and this game WOULD be fun if there wasn't all the issues I listed above.

I wish I could tell you that this game is amazing. The overall concept behind this game and the competitive aspect is AMAZING. I love it.
The customization you can do in this game is something I have never seen nowhere else. EVERYONE can be unique in their way, you can literally customize any piece of clothings and cars you have, and there are PLENTY of clothes available.
The missions are repetitive but they're still very enjoyable. Some maps can give an advantage to an opposite team, but that's not the biggest issue.
Every gun classes has their pros and cons, and each of them can be used in different situations. Heck, even the different classes of grenades have different uses.
You can put "perks" for your character and your gun which will give you some bonuses-maluses depending on what you prefer.
Now that this has been said...
GamersFirst is a really shit company that doesn't care about either its playerbase neither their game in general. Their goal is to make as much money as possible while you're still playing their fucking game until you're out of it.
Each and every time they release a new weapon it will most certainly be incredibly unbalanced for at least 4-5 months, so that the players will be so tempted to buy the damn gun. Buying guns permanently in this game costs A LOT of money, and it's even more retardedly expensive if you want it on more than one character. Oh, and since it's a new gun you'll have to pay some more.
The matchmaking system is retarded. If you're gold, most of the time the servers will force you to go in a gold server but nobody plays in those, so they either go in silver servers and ruin silver's days OR they derank on purpose so they don't have to deal with that. That is, until they win a lot of games because they're obviously much better than actual silvers so they rank up to gold again, so they want to derank... You can easily see why it can become a major issue in the meta.
Some missions are very unfair to one of the team. Depending on the mission, sometimes the enforcers are way way in favor, and vice versa.
Oh and the anti-cheat system. It can take a while before it does something and sometimes it can ban people that weren't cheating. Meanwhile there's a retard teleporting everywhere and plowing everyone in the server.
Honestly, I think the concept is so beautiful and could be so much better. I'm waiting for another company or group of people to steal APB's main concept and actually put their love and soul into a new game that will be better than this one.
GamersFirst. Such a shitty, shitty company.
