Merikh United States918 Posts June 11 2010 21:07 GMT #1 APB North America starts tomorrow at 9est/8cst and Alienware is giving out beta keys. There are about 9 thousand keys available for you so grab them while you can. I thought if people are still having trouble finding something to do, maybe they can play this beta while we wait for the other beta heh! I personally will be playing this just to waste time and hopefully it'll be good, from the things I heard. (It's like 8gbs dl [overnight DL] and the client downloader DL is like 70mb and they capped the dl speed to like 100 Kb/s) Source: http://www.alienwarearena.com/event/apb-demo-giveaway/

DeathByMonkeys United States742 Posts June 11 2010 21:51 GMT #6 Ok I checked it out, looks pretty cool. Only problem... The current minimum hardware requirements for APB are as follows: Intel Core2 Duo 2GHz or equivalent 2GB Main Memory Geforce 7800 256 MB or equivalent 256kbit/sec internet connection My laptop is basically just meeting the minimum requirements, but these seem pretty steep and may deter a lot of people from playing.

Senx Sweden5901 Posts June 11 2010 21:55 GMT #8 APB is a very high end game which requires good amounts of ram, 4+ and a good CPU to run around 40-50 fps+ That has been the number one complaint during beta, the subpar performance on alot of high-end PCs. So if you barely even qualify for the min spec: DO NOT waste money on it. It'll be near unplayable.

hoborg United States430 Posts June 11 2010 22:05 GMT #9 Cool, thanks for the info merikh. I have extremely low expectations given that every other mmo/action beta i've played has been terrible... but it might be worth it to fool around for a couple hours. edit: FYI my download speed has been consistently around 285 kb/s, so they aren't capping speed at 100

Merikh United States918 Posts June 11 2010 22:20 GMT #11 No probs :D

Alou United States3748 Posts June 11 2010 22:31 GMT #14 Seems like the kind of game I'll either like a lot or despise. Probably the latter, but why the heck not? I got nothing to do but Track Mania right now

I_Love_Bacon United States5765 Posts June 11 2010 22:50 GMT #16 5 hours of action.... after downloading something for probably longer. I think I'll pass. I've been looking forward to APB to see how well it plays, but I have little interest in dipping my toes in the water unless I get can waist deep in it.
