As nice as the "Good" and "bad" times were of this game; and Dispite being recently taken over by Little Orbit... Which has openly stated they want to "Improve and fix" the game.

I have to give this a negative review.

While little orbit may be doing "Un-ban waves" For those who may've had their accounts hacked in the past (As we know hacking is a major "issue" Along many of APB) They still fall short on the same aspects of the community as Gamersfirst has.

Ticket responding. A big... big turn off, to playing any Online game; is when you have to wait 3 months, sometimes more for 1 ticket response; Be it a large issue needing of support, or small. Now i get Gamersfirst, may've had a smaller Team dispite obvious reasons; But Supporting the community that helped "BUILD" the foundation to the game, and the actual Issues those players have is a priority. If you can't handle answering tickets, then to be honest you shouldn't be in the game industry to begin with; as Customers (paying players or not) we should never have to wait more then a week max for a Ticket response. ( 3 months however, and your losing respect from your already dwindling community)

Now, im not saying APB is a terrible game; It has a good side, and it has it's bad side. While i may have enjoyed aspects myself in the 1160 Hours on steam over the past years, here is the Pros and the Cons.

Pros:
Customization
Fun with friends - (not paired against "hackers" Granted at the time of writing this, Things may start to change.)
The ideals, It still stands different from what similar games such as "GTA" are.
It's unique, even in it's gritty state.
"Semi toxic community" However good some days.

Cons:
Lack of actual support from staff.
The hacking issue that the majority of us Veterans know of.
The bloody lag, is a big big issue. (No reason for outrageous Frame rate drops, for "Litterly no reason at all" Even on the more extreme gaming rigs.)
Semi Toxic community (Granted, we all trash talk once in a while lets be real)
Balance issues with certain aspects that have been neglected Numerous years.
The lack of a population. (Which actually effects your Reputation grinding when you can't access other districts due to 0 players)

Now, i could put the fact that us APB veterans were promised; on numerous occasions that there would be a "Engine upgrade" But seeing as Little Orbit has taken control; I will not fault them for that. Gamersfirst was a downhill train from the start on that promise.

Recommendation:
If you feel like trying have at it, It's not "terrible" Though; While it may be a grand idea and unique in it's own way, with the current population along with the Pros/Cons. It highly out weighs the good. While it may be a "GTA" Similar, and "Free" I would still find more amusement from twiddling my thumbs.

Score:
3/10 gameplay
10/10 Customization
1/10 Customer support

Overall score : 4/10
