All Points Bulletin.

Not sure if anyone else has been following this. It's basically like a GTA mmo type deal.. 100 players per city, 100,000 per world. Missions, gang wars etc..

They've announced the release date to be for Spring.

Check out the latest trailer on the front page.

Might as well join a real life gang, wouldn't that be the ultimate crime mmo?

Might as well go play in the NFL instead of playing Madden.

Might as well go join the Marines instead of playing Call of Duty.

I always wanted to be Mrs.Pac-Man...

Don't you see the difference? Anyone can become a thug on the streets. If people think it's such an interesting concept, why not try the real thing? I'm just saying.

I bet being Q-Bert would be cool...

Anyone can become a Marine. I don't see the difference.. Yet the Call of Duty series is popular.

It's also why the GTA series is popular, it's a video game, to have fun in. Not to actually kill people like in Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

Let me guess, you're a bible thumping sissy do gooder? Or you're just trolling this thread, either one will make sense.

This actually looks really cool. I wonder if it is developed by the same people who did GTA games? Either way, I'm likely gonna try it out.

I don't think it is, but if you watch some of their you tube podcasts linked on the front page they give tons of info about things.

That video (skip to 1:00) shows gameplay and explains how calling for backup works for the law enforcement side. How it sends out an APB to a nearby group.

I wonder if you instantly re-spawn. Like if you are in a heated situation, you die...do you respawn in the same place, or nearbye?

It was created by the guy who made the original GTA. The game looks kind of cool. Hopefully it will run on apple.

Now that is something I've never been claimed to be before

I just think that it makes a horrible concept for an MMO, was it a regular game I would be perfectly fine with it.

But I'll leave you boys to your petty drooling. Y'all have a good day now!
