SYNOPSIS
All Points Bulleting (APB) is an MMO third person shooter where players inhabit the city of San Paro, a bustling and thriving modern city where they will take on the role of a member of one of two opposing factions: Criminals or Enforcers, where they will fight for control and dominance of the city.
Become immersed in the massive game worlds which can hold 100 players in a single Action District, up to 250 players in a Social District and 100,000 players in each individual world.
As an online sandbox game what you do is entirely up to you, either running missions throughout the various districts on San Paro or engaging in PvP against enemy factions on foot or with a number of available vehicles that can be acquired in game. The matchmaking system allows solo play and group play missions, form alliances and rivalries, make a name for yourself and experience the depth and scope of one of the most customizable MMOs out there.
FACTIONS
There are two available player factions to choose from, locked in a constant state of aggression with each other:
Enforcers: The defenders of San Paro, protecting the innocent and tracking down criminals and bringing them to justice. Patrol the filth plagues streets on foot or in your squad vehicle and dare to tread where citizens fear to go.
Criminals: Bring the city to its knees and bring anarchy and mayhem to the streets. Rob citizens or commit other petty crimes from vandalism to arson, to larger scale offenses from ram-raiding businesses to bombings and murder.
VEHICLES
Depending on your choice of faction you’ll use your vehicle in different ways, either in a drive-by attack or as a getaway driver if you are part of the criminal element, or acting as an armed response unit if you are an enforcer of justice. As a driver or passenger you can make your way around San Paro with ease, get involved in dramatic car chases along the city streets and get involved in vehicle to vehicle fire-fights whilst crashing through destructible environmental items for a truly dramatic scene!

Upgrade your vehicles performance and hear that engine growl or blast your own music from the stereo and you drive up and down the strip.
