"San Paro: The Living City
APB: All Points Bulletin is set in San Paro, a persistent, online modern city which lives and breathes, filled with a population of civilians going about their daily lives. Joining the civilian population are opposing factions of players: Criminals and Enforcers, fighting for control and leaving their mark as they succeed or fail.

Criminal or Enforcer?
Players choose to be either a criminal or an enforcer and are matched against each other in fast-paced, third person action. The criminals aim to create a city rife with violent crime. The enforcers are pitted against them, protecting the civilian population and fighting the criminals at every turn. Want to commit a robbery with your friends? You can, but watch out because another group of players will be out to stop you!

Conflict and Game Play
Players can pledge to criminal or enforcement organizations and receive missions or move through the environment choosing open world activities. For criminals; robbery, graffiti, arson and murder all add to notoriety. For enforcers; arresting criminals, preventing crimes and cleaning up the city all add to prestige. With a range of weapons and vehicles to choose from and multiple ways to be matched up with other players, this is the ultimate test of your skills.

Be a Celebrity!
As a top player, your name will be at the top of league tables held online. San Paro will be your world: your character’s name and face as well known as a Hollywood movie star, a standard that other players aim for. But how long can you stay at the top?

Be Creative!
APB has one of the most in depth character and vehicle customization tools available today. Every player can create a unique character with a level of detail unparalleled in other games. And customization doesn’t stop at physical appearance. Clothing, body art and vehicles can all be customized using symbols created by the players themselves in our symbol editor. Successful players are rewarded with greater ability to customize so the better you are at the game, the better you’ll look.

Play Your Own Music!
The world of APB will be filled with music: you can import your own music files into APB plus we have more than 100 tracks licensed to the game and a sophisticated in-game music editor.

If you make music, you can license your own tracks to APB. Full details of our artist’s program and how to submit tracks can be found here."

It seems pretty interesting.
 
This looks like a fantastic game, I saw some game footage the other day and I am very interested in seeing the final product. My mates and I were talking about creating a GTA style MMO with the GTA4 engine the other day, this one looks pretty close.

i noticed that this MMO is going to be running on the Unreal 3 Engine... doesnt that mean its going to use up quite a bit of bandwidth???
 
it's on their FAQ ........

Flies in the face of what I've been reading over the years, for example:

Today, at the EA press conference, it was announced that Electronic Arts will distribute Realtime Worlds’ All Points Bulletin (APB), the urban-themed MMO from Dave Jones, the creator of Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto and Crackdown.

Though the press release doesn't indicate that the game will appear on other systems than PC, a spokesperson told TeamXbox, "We’re not giving details out at the moment, but it is being developed for Xbox 360."

TeamXbox will see the game during E3, and we'll bring you any new details as we get them.

In conjunction with the announcement that EA will distribute APB, the companies have released new, never-before-seen assets, including the following 90-second HD trailer.
