This Sunday the servers will be open for all groups. During last weekend's preview a number of Social District crashes were encountered that have since been resolved. This weekend we're looking for feedback on all areas of APB.
All Groups: Closed Beta Playsession
Sunday 09 May 2010
1700 GMT – 2100 GMT
Countdown Timer
Known issues in this build:
Punkbuster disconnecting players: If you lose connection and a message relating to PunkBuster is shown, please uninstall PunkBuster and click on 'Options' and then 'Repair' in the Launcher. For more information see this thread
ALT key not working: With some keyboard setups the ALT key is currently not being recognised. This stops you from typing in symbols such as '@' (ALT-GR+2) and witnessing criminals. If this happens to you please try running APB in windowed mode. Alternatively please bind the witness button to another key. Please read here for more information.

So what are you going to be, goodie or baddie? Think I'll go for Enforcer  |

I've been playing enforcer with the GA guys I know, who frequent our server - nubins, masterflash, derekzoolander etc.
Play time for the riff raff (sharpshooters which is us) is normally sunday evenings somewhere between 5pm and 9pm uk. |

I've got to say, I'm really glad to have tried the Beta. This game did have a lot of promise to it, but not any more. |

best of all.. no level 40 heavy hitters / furious fighters to inbalance things |
mmm It will be nice to test it properly but after the odd hour I have played deep down in my gut the game seems very shallow indeed. Currently, for me at least, it offers no real long/medium term lasting appeal It's definitely got the pick up and play feel to it but I think Global Agenda offers a more dynamic and fluid combat system in comparison. |

Hugh disappointment this. After an two hours of the four hour beta period yesterday I gave up. Dull graphics and even duller gameplay. It's like a cheap version Grand Theft Auto without the fun.  |

I agree Chaos, it's like a crappy version of GTA with an element of MMO that doesn't even seem to blend :S |
