APB in 2023 is like Bizarro World. None of my friends log on anymore. Servers laggier than ever (basically unplayable). Constant tweaker spam. Matching against the same handful of trolls and goblins. A totally different game from what we experienced back in the day.
Everyone knows APB is a dead game full of trolls.
Logging on once in a while to witness this provides for a great catharsis of pity and disgust - kinda like volunteering for the city or going on a humanitarian mission.
If you are looking for sustained gameplay I would recommend playing a high-quality game with friends or a good community.
If you're looking for a new multiplayer game to play, honestly just finding out what all your friends and neighbors are playing would yield the best experience. *Except for* Call of Duty, the multiplayer in that game is such a randomly buggy mess I can't believe people compete in it for prizes.
i was in a mission with a trainee who had the n word in his logo and clan name crackheads, he spawned in my car and drove off 100s of meters
also i saw a soldier with swastika patches
This is so true, for example fighting game legends such as Daigo still give modern champs a run for their money. I started playing Counter-Strike as a baby and still make Global Elite whenever I log on lol
Blasting cars with OSMAW is one of the funnest things ever in APB. All I can feel for these tryhards is pity, playing just becomes self-harm at that point. They can take the free win while I enjoy TV and popcorn. And farm explosive ranks. lol
Either they don't know how to run an MMO, or they're not concerned with money. Quite possibly both. Lord knows the current pop of psychos and fiends has already been milked for what it's worth.
Cheaters are sick and ruin the game for everyone! Then there's the deniers who are just as bad! It's definitely one of the biggest reasons the game can't retain new players! APB really needs strong game-mastering, it's not even an argument!
