It seems like just last year we were announcing the open beta for APB, well APB is back in open beta, this time with GamersFirst and re-branded as All Points Bulletin: Reloaded. The APB: Reloaded open beta was originally supposed to launch last week, but due to a major bug, the open beta had to be delayed.
In addition to the improvement from closed beta, open beta features a brand new skill rating system, redesigned “witnessing” game mechanics, new items and weapons in the Armas Marketplace, as well as an additional East Coast datacenter to host the game.
Bjorn Book-Larsson, the Chief Operating Officer for GamersFirst and CEO of Reloaded Productions had this to say about All Points Bulletin: Reloaded open beta.
“From the start of the development of APB Reloaded last fall our focus has been to remove obstacles preventing players from having fun. While our development and design teams have done an amazing job improving driving, shooting, skill ratings, witnessing and other key elements of the game, I am also thrilled with the changes slated to be released during the latter part of open beta,” “We expect APB Reloaded to set a new bar for what is possible to achieve in a free to play MMO game, and the open beta represents another big step in that direction.”
Oh that’s good to hear its not gone! It seemed innovative and hadn’t really been given it’s chance! Nice to see it back again!
It’s just a shame they cant code to fix their lives as the bugs in this game is horrid. The Latency makes it unplayable as well. It lags so much that you cant really enjoy the game at all.
