APB Still Sucks (LIST)

1. APB Does not Support SLI/Crossfire.
2. This game Only allows 40 Clothing Limit, and one character Customization in the game when they should give more room for Clothes,Symbols, ect.
3. This game Was not advertised correctly to people who have bought it, When I purchased this game I was looking foward to a world serverl ike Planetside 100k people, with all criminals vs enforcers not instanced combat between people, although they say other is in the works this was not advertised properly.
4. Installing Spyware without consent, Punk Buster, which LOGS everything the user does, not to mention APB under their EULA can monitor anything you are doing on your PC while their game is running it says. But it does not say that Punk Buster can monitor this stuff, and this slows down your PC by over 50%, as I have tried running AION max graphics, and APB, and it killed it out badly. ( This install takes place, when you install the software, even before you make an account, or accept an agreement, therefore its not legal)
Glitches are Bad.
1. People can Camp in trees, get on top of buildings with glitches, Go under the bridge. This keeps people from hitting anyone with a normal gun other than a sniper, or grenade.
2. Character when logged in appears all messed up, or Glows white.
3. Game often kicks users out sometimes, and is annoying.
4. Sculpt Maps do not always load properly, but user can walk up on them and stuff correctly as if they were there.
5. You can see Alpa Textures on your character sometimes, and these do sometimes do cause problems with character looks, by glitching them.
Over all this game could have been more, but for these reasons it sucks.
Question is really should you buy APB or not at this point, and all I can say is that if they start running other software other than what is needed to operate the game, I am going to quit this game, and so will a lot of others, and a lot of people already have, because of punk buster. We do not mind Anti Cheat detection, But we hate PunkBuster for the way it was designed, and operates, and we do not feel that RTW should be using this in their game, as it is a 3rd party software, installed without consent, and they could develop their own for this game, and put it in the ELUA, which does not Screw up a users CPU, and screw up multi tasking bad.
Comments
1. many games don't.
2. It can allways be increased.
3. It was advertised correctly. Its been known for a while what the game was.
4. You agreed to punkbuster when you installed.
5. Trees are a bug.
6. what?
7. It happens.
8. That may be a computer issue on your side.
9. Again, issue on your end, did you update your drivers?

What i hate, 80-100 players in one server, but you feel like you only play with 8 players. There need to be a team FFA server where even cops can arrest afk players.

I agree. I would much rather play an open faction vs. faction or FFA ruleset than the missions, personally.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
Didnt they plan "chaos servers"?

Clearly you did virtually no research on this game if you were expecting it to be Planetside. Maybe next time you'll actually do research on this game instead of just bashing it because it wasn't what you wanted.
I'm free on Friday.
Advertised wrong? What's wrong with you?
They only made in depth podcasts and a youtube channel with actual walkthroughs of how the game will play out. They said what you can and can't do.
If that's not good enough for you then you don't deserve to play the game.
I feel that you post is somewhat misleading and will put people off playing.
I'll guess that this is the confusing print on the box. "BATTLE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PLAYERS IN THE HUGE, PERSISTENTLY ONLINE MULTIPLAYER WORLD OF SAN PARO!"
BTW, the box is the only advertising I saw on this game. I'd didn't expect Planetside like the OP did, but there's nothing on the box to suggest I'd only have 50 hours of play time. In fact there's no suggestion of any monthly fee at all on the box. Fortunately, the game is horrible enough that 50 hours is more than enough time to get done with it. Just saying. Truthful advertisement would have saved me and the OP 49 bucks.
There have been more devlopment reports and E3 coverage for this game than you can shake a sitck at.

That might mean something to people who are interested in following game development or who are making an online purchase. It's meaningless to the guy browsing inside an actual gamestop store.
Just watching people play in on xfire live video, If my alienware laptop was newer and didnt have a bad harddrive at the moment, Id buy this game in a yickty split. Iv heared nothing but good things from people playing it over xfire, and Iv watched quite a bit. The gameplay is fast, and action packed, and it just looks likesomething you could jump into when things are drab in RL and play a few hours demolishing people. ITs also nice you can buy time from selling in game items and you can buy a certain amount of hours to instead of the monthly sub.
I guess any more players are hit and miss to what pleases them. Some one that has been waiting longer to play something then some one that just found it the day before leaves different aspects open like dissapointment and resentment or anger and frustration. I would think someone that has been antisapating a game longer would be more likely to become dissapointed and resentfull and some one that only heared about the game for one day and bought it might become more frusterated and angry. Alot of things in mmos in paticular are give and take with players, and given this reasoning makes my favorite game aion for some reason or another but I love that game hah...
You are dead right. It is meaningless to someone who has just picked it up for the hell of it.
But if that is the case why would they complain about it so such a great deal? Those who have followed the game are happy and those who have not are not. MAinly because they don't know what it is, and seem to be afraid of taking a glimpse at the internet, which is currently loaded with APB info. All you have to do is search something simple like "Character Creation" and ABP hits you right between the eyes.
If you write false things, things which everyone knows is false then unfortunatly you completly discredit your entire post!
As for your post, you clearly misunderstand something.
it may not be like an MMO, but it still has the exact same develop process and is only coming up to its first month. Nearly everything you say is slated for fix in the coming days. So whats the point of your post? To make the best effort you can to spread lies and slander while you can? while it still holds a thread of reality?
