PC/consoles whatever. I'm interested.

I just hope they change the shooting in it, right now it seems a bit basic with a crappy aimer. If they make it a bit more like Drake's Fortune shooting then we'll have an even more epic game on our hands.

Says PC right now. PC launch will be first either way. I hear X360 version was in works as well, but Microsoft is kinda holding X360 MMOs back a little so there will be some sort of delay for that. PS3 version also rumored as well. Sony also has a hold of how MMOs will work on their consoles, but I don't think they are restricting many of them. They are working on a MMO system for their PSN setup as well. Its why most of the MMOs for X360 and PS3 are still being pushed around.

I plan to pick this up for my PC. Looks grand.

That's because it IS an MMO, not an MMORPG.

My point wasn't to say it wasn't an MMO, only the fact that non-RPG MMOs don't do well in comparison. I obviously didn't make it clear, sorry about that. They oftentimes provide the same gameplay elements as typical multiplayer console games with just stretched out leveling elements, but most players that would play this sort of game move on to the latest such game based on where the people go.

Many games with this sort of gameplay have shut down their servers in less than a year after release because of the issue in retaining enough players. If APB intends to have a fee beyond the cost of the game, then it definitely won't do too well. If it's closer to the Guild Wars mode, then it needs to implement some features that other multiplayer games just don't offer as well as a system for rolling out expansions without breaking game balance since they'll be getting their money solely from software sales.

This has nothing to do with MAG, and MAG was far from the first MP FPS game to have a lot of people.

@free2game365
so what you are actually trying to say that
there was A CONSOLE game
that can have more than 260+ players on the same map ?

That's given, but the concept is the same. You have 100 or 250 person districts where it will be 50 v 50 or 125 vs 125. The multiplayer experience is also not about individual battles with a simplistic level scheme for unlocking weapons, but about a long-term development of your specific character, items, faction, and the such, which is the same as MAG.

Hate it or not, but it's very much like MAG in its gameplay with the exception that it's tailored towards street wars with cars rather than military wars with tanks, planes, and helicopters.

APB isn't a console game. All of the concepts of MAG are the same as Planetside, only MAG is on a much smaller scale and not persistent.

Uh... actually, it is still being considered for release on consoles. They may be focusing on PC only, but they've stated many times that they haven't given up on going towards the console.

Regardless, being on a console or a PC doesn't really matter considering the only difference is the controls. For the PC version you'll be able to use a gamepad if you want to play, which would make it just like playing on a console.

Glad you brought up Planetside considering what you said could be said exactly of APB. Note, this isn't degrading the game, only classifying the type of MMO it is going to be. Planetside was future military, MAG is modern military, APB will be modern street wars.

MAG could easily be made for the PC, so I'm not comparing what can be played on what, only the gameplay which is comparable between MAG, Planetside, and now APB.
