All Points Bulletin

>> So what is All Points Bulletin?
So, you've played GTA, right? Well it's essentially that (third person shooter and all that fun stuff), but MMO style, with up to 100 people dukeing it out at a time in a living, breathing city. There are two sides you can play for: Criminals and Enforcers. Criminals do what they do best: rob, steal, mug, etc. Enforcers, on the other hand, patrol, shoot criminals, and arrest people, they essentially feed off crime. In the most layman's terms possible, it's cops vs robbers, but on an epic scale. Clans included!
(Go enforcers, gas-masked brigade of mR combine, amirite?)

>> MMO? Monthly payments then, amirite?
Yes and no. When you buy the game, you get 50 hours of Action Play - this is where you duke it out on the streets and whatnot. In addition to this, you get unlimited time for the Marketplace, Social district, and customization section. When your 50hrs is up, you can pay $7 for 20 more hours, or $10 for unlimited time over 30 days (with discounted prices for 90 and 180 days.).

>> But I didn't like GTA4!
Don't worry, there's no Roman.

>> Was that customization video for real?
You better **** believe it! Character customization is unbelievable - You can change anything on your person - from hair, to muscle build, to vein-pop-age. You're also allowed to change your character at any time, so don't feel hesitant to try new looks! APB also gives you a gargantuan kit of shapes, symbols, and designs to play with. That being said, The amount of things you can make are virtually endless. When you're done making something you can 'publish' it, which can allow you to put it up for sale on the APB marketplace. If someone sees it and likes it, they can buy it off you. The money gained form this can go towards your character's gear, in-game cash, or even buying more gameplay hours. Alternatively, you can make a logo and whatnot and distribute it to your clan/friends, so you can eitehr brag, or have a uniform look, but most importantly to distinguish yourself from everyone else. Oh, you can also make music - the editor for that is pretty sweet too. I'll try to find a video soon.

>> When the **** is this coming out?
