My 2010, when me and my best friend were collecting all the articles and posters with this game, and when it finally released we ran to the videogame shop as fast as we could. That CD and installation on a 2008 laptop, a lot of lags, crashing on 32 bits system, but it was f***ing nice. And now I already have a child, a job and wife, and sometimes I just put on this track and I’’m back in my childhood, when grass was more green and the trees were higher. Thank you APB for those memories.
ugh, this game ruled... it had its BIG problems, but it had some of the best times i've ever had in a shooter. it should not have slowly failed the way it did. makes me very sad.
the memories spent more than 3000 hours on this game and despite all the lag still one of the best games I ever played ... made so many friends... oh the feelings!
the game was the definition of a love hate relationship and i miss it so with all it's drama, trash people and bots, i remember getting up in the morning, getting some coffee and loggin in to this tune, waterfront forever
I love the somber "Clam before the storm" this theme had. It is a shame they changed the intro away from this. The 2D spray paint animations where so epic.
Man i miss this track... this musictrack actually fused my connection to the game back in the days, this music is such an uplifting welcome. The new track is very good, no doubt, but its just about chaos and destruction, this one was more in the spirit of APB and more emotional, hope, possibilities. I always pictured an intro where you drive towards San Paro during sunset and contemplate about everything you can do and can be. Fantastic music!
Any people from 2016? The game wasnt great, it was flawed with a lot of potential. however this track was what stuck with me the most. This will be played at my funeral.
I remember when you used to get here and then an audio byte from one of the NPC's used to play. Made the whole feeling of wanting to enforce the law or just wreck havoc among the streets even more amplified.

Me and my little brother got in the beta. Some of the best fun I ever had in an MMO. One of the first MMOs with good in game voice chat I remember blasting enforcers on my crim and talking mad shit. SO much fun.
U kno it really has me feelin so upset that I got good and left I wish I was a noob jus finding about the game again I want that nostalgia back the excitement comin on everyday to get shit on and get a few kills drive cars buy clothes find out new things make design it was all so Beautiful
No game has the same "feel" as APB. It has such a badass aesthetic and vibe. It was so unique. The Criminals had a rebellious, "in your face", style. You see it in their cars and their members. Loved the G-Kings blend of 90's grunge wear and hip-hop fashion. Can't forget the Blood Roses and their "weaponized emo kid" style. San Paro itself, Especially the financial district, had that classic, neon-lit urban feel to it. Like if you took Tokyo and smashed it together with NYC. Don't even get me started on the character customization of this game. To my knowledge, no other game has a similar character customization system. I spent hours in making just decals for my cars and songs alone in it.
Ja der soundtrack is der hammer,..es ist wirklich Unglaublich das es es schon so lange her ist,ich weiß noch wie ich damals zu meinem besten freund kam,und er meinte,hey ich hier ein neues spiel was du auf jedenfall gefällt,..das er wusst das ich auf gta stehe... ,und es machte zooooom,was für ein hammer,unglaublich cool was es alles für individuelle möglichkeiten ganb,vom charakter bis zu den fahrzeugen,besonders die gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der fahrzeuge haben mich fasziniert,und dann das ewige und lustige räuber und genadarme spiel...und es hat echt so cool mit 4-5 leuten lässig in unserem auf gepimpten crew oder Team bus durch die straßen zu fahren und zu chillen..nebenbei eine kleine schiesserei,okay..lässig..oder nebenbei ein paar kleine Aufträge oder Missionen,..alles aus dem linken oder rechten ärmel geschüttelt,jedenfalls eines der chilligsten und coolsten spiele aller zeiten...natürlich immer als Kriminelle leider is die entwickler firma pleit egegangen weil sie sich um nichts gekümmert haben ,naja ich sage apb forever,und es wird immer in guter erinnerung bleiben ..wer is der gleichen meinung?
I remember i had trash laptop lmao 2012 playing apb laggin like crazy but this game was still fire customization guns players really was slept on i was trash to cause i played 360 but the theme song and the gameplay and seeing hella people around in a free roam was worth it better then gta 5 if they did it right smh
I heard about this game just a few days ago. I downloaded the free-to-play version. This game is amazing! I have played this for hours with my friends on skype! To bad it didn't go so well the first time they released it!
Ay, the game STILL has this theme. It's in the character customization menu, and the games is kind of alive again. APB is just TF2 but less famous: Both are immortal
Oh my god you just made my day. I will miss APB for a long time. Here's to hoping someone will pick it up and make something great out of it. Anyone who wants this song should google mp3ify.
Teen Years...First time I've played this was in 2011. Game has gotten worse in some aspects in these years, and still does, but afterall i've had great times playing it with friends whom I met on it, and because we still love it, we play it sometimes. Hope we'll ever see the new engine update lol
Ten years....crazy how time flies...will always remember that time when i was young and it was interesting to see how technician and games would develop :O But i will always love these simple games like APB the most
APB is still hugely popular, during the day about 3000 per server, then at night it'll go to like 6-7k...its a great game to play a few mins, play with friends, or get super OP whatever your taste, it suits everyone
I like this theme, it's really a big contrast to all the loud music the rest of the soundtrack consists of. This song sounds like you are driving towards San Paro, you look at the skyscrapers and think about the possibilities, which party you want to join, Enforcers or Criminals, Choices! It's a calm thinker song, pretty good choice for a login theme imo :)
Justin'case And I just discovered this game 8 months ago The only game that I have not played for 7 years or so is gta vice city stories so that is the only one that is really nostalgic for my
This game was FAR better than other MMO's sadly, a bunch of bad choices made It an unknown jewel to the big audience. Sad to see mediocre mmo's being glorified while this game disappeared without notice... This proves that, NOT ALL things that success are good, and NOT ALL that fail were bad.
this is some seriously original shit. simple and effective with some ultra-feelin' arrangement of guitars when i first time installed the game i just kept listening to this for 20 mins and played it over n over on my guitar :P
I haven't played guitar for a while, but i used to loop this little riff everyonce in a while since its very calming. You still remember how to play it by any chance?
@Hidey0shi alright then, it's in StreamedSFX.pck when you have it extracted you will need to run ww2ogg over the file that is 2,479 kB in size, just make sure the file is in the same folder as ww2ogg.
It's kinda similar to GTA V's load screen music. But this is surely better. Never played APB THAT much back in the day, but I remember loving the soundtrack. This song in particular. Always took a little extra time to get ready so I could enjoy it a little longer.
I can understand the pain, I have the same pain as all of you, but this song is actually still in the game, in the character customization, not entirely, but the sound effect, and this theme but remixed to a lower tone, you can actually find in game in the character customization, but you know all the good old players has left the game, ego-boosters are still in it, toxicity,cheats,scammers, and just bad players who bitch about everything, and simply the new G1 staff.
The city of San Paro is basked in a hazy light, the dim streetlights flickering off as the rising sun crests over the distant skyline. An unnatural calm comes over the streets, with none to be heard, save a faint breeze which rustles bits of litter upon the sidewalks. Despite the pleasant peace, it cannot last, as business must go on, and men must die to feed the future of San Paro.
@Hidey0shi I can't share the method i used to extract this piece of music from the games packages since this will also give people access to all the commercial music in the game in mp3 format. I'll see what i can do for a DL-link
Rest in peace my game , this song remembers me about the good momements . Nice game , to bad it got ruined , and thank you EA for not helping and no financiel support.
I dont know y people hate the new apb i never tried the old version but i fell in love with the new. This game reminds me of brink and sick soundtrack!
Очень жаль что я не мог поиграть в данную игру на релизе, когда был большой онлайн. По рассказам моего двоюродного брата на момент пика игры она была просто офигенна, в ней можно было творить что хочешь.
@superman111994 There are beta keys, wth are you talking about. If you get beta key, you go and submit an application where you need to give your dxdiag file so that they know your system spec's, and so that your beta key gets linked to your account. If your spec's pass the test, your set and wait for key's to be activated Don't need to tell me i'm wrong, received beta key --> send spec's --> Online in APB Reloaded Beta

Thank you APB for those memories.
This one hit me in the feels man..
Bruh, this one hits me deep in my soul... :(
Damn... I almost shed a tear... I'm happy for you man!
How old are you?
Apart from me not having wife and/or kids. I feel you. That game was a big part of my childhood too.
ugh, this game ruled... it had its BIG problems, but it had some of the best times i've ever had in a shooter. it should not have slowly failed the way it did. makes me very sad.
APB is making a comeback atm check the blog
It’s making a comeback this year
A huge one in fact
Crossplay console is gonna be fixed
And u can play Europe then switch to na servers without new account
This music reminds me of a time when I used to love this game...
Exactly
Man... the memories.
Yep so nostalgic
holy shit its Sadira
sadira-san
GO
TO
BED
it's been 10 years, the game could have been so good without so many cheaters/hackers.
Steve Jacobs agreed bro
the memories spent more than 3000 hours on this game and despite all the lag still one of the best games I ever played ... made so many friends... oh the feelings!
I miss this track so much. Back then you could open the game and just... listen to this for a few minutes... before you proceeded to get steamrolled.
the game was the definition of a love hate relationship and i miss it so with all it's drama, trash people and bots, i remember getting up in the morning, getting some coffee and loggin in to this tune, waterfront forever
Memories
Waterfront was always my worst map, I remember dreading hitting the missions where you HAD to go get rep for waterfront crims.
I love the somber "Clam before the storm" this theme had. It is a shame they changed the intro away from this. The 2D spray paint animations where so epic.
I love me some clams before a storm.
tetsuorocks - Agreed. Totally agreed.
Tom - this is fcking gold
Man i miss this track... this musictrack actually fused my connection to the game back in the days, this music is such an uplifting welcome. The new track is very good, no doubt, but its just about chaos and destruction, this one was more in the spirit of APB and more emotional, hope, possibilities. I always pictured an intro where you drive towards San Paro during sunset and contemplate about everything you can do and can be. Fantastic music!
wow, you described my imagination. Idk im always very emotional when this song is playing :,)
This has been my alarm tone from 2010 to present. And i feel exactly the same.
Any people from 2016? The game wasnt great, it was flawed with a lot of potential. however this track was what stuck with me the most. This will be played at my funeral.
mine too
I'm glad the menu screen that had this song, died with the good APB. I'm glad I still have those memories.
i remember 6 years ago when i saw the first trailer
kRizzZy dang haha, did you get anything as a reward after it went F2P since team fortress 2 did that aswell?
srba filipovic no, they didnt give us something... but a good old gameplay time and this awesome login music :D
i want this menu music back !!!!
We can't be everywhere, but we can be where it counts.
I could sit here and listen to this masterpeice all day. Brings back memories and nostalgia.
better then the current ear rape
I remember when you used to get here and then an audio byte from one of the NPC's used to play. Made the whole feeling of wanting to enforce the law or just wreck havoc among the streets even more amplified.
My favourite line: "I dont know who they are, but I know whats gonna happen to them" - Violet Prentiss
When this used to play on the login screen, this game was still fun.
2023, I find myself still obsessing over this game. Themes, FightClub, Bishadas, Jerichoes, Legendaries, ARMAS... Never forget APB.
Brilliant piece. If I remember correctly, the music layers would be randomised continuously. Typically, no two listens will be the same. Brilliant.
wow...gave me chills proper nostalgia right here. Amazing game when it was ran by RTW
i feel sorry for people who havent experienced this masterpiece of a game in its prime..
Such a vibe this game gave off, we'll never get anything like it again.
Gives me chills everytime.. Big thoughts for all the Fallen Ones
Me and my little brother got in the beta. Some of the best fun I ever had in an MMO. One of the first MMOs with good in game voice chat I remember blasting enforcers on my crim and talking mad shit. SO much fun.
omfg nostalgic. I remember hearing this but then i sucked at the game that time so eh
U kno it really has me feelin so upset that I got good and left I wish I was a noob jus finding about the game again I want that nostalgia back the excitement comin on everyday to get shit on and get a few kills drive cars buy clothes find out new things make design it was all so Beautiful

This is such a chilly music... Love it! Will sleep while this track will be playing!
Be all you can't be. But is that really what you want to be?
I miss this intro :((
I remember i had trash laptop lmao 2012 playing apb laggin like crazy but this game was still fire customization guns players really was slept on i was trash to cause i played 360 but the theme song and the gameplay and seeing hella people around in a free roam was worth it better then gta 5 if they did it right smh
I heard about this game just a few days ago. I downloaded the free-to-play version. This game is amazing! I have played this for hours with my friends on skype! To bad it didn't go so well the first time they released it!
I wish this game didn't die.. i feel so bad for its failure
How can a shooting/killing/assaulting/arresting game have a such a nice theme?
It's just awesome... 5 stars to the game and the theme.
APB c'mon this intro is better why did you change it?
Ay, the game STILL has this theme. It's in the character customization menu, and the games is kind of alive again. APB is just TF2 but less famous: Both are immortal
I could totally see this playing over the opening credits of some 80's cop show. So mellow.
Man hearing this gives me chills.
The best times of playing apb were this with this login music *_* i Miss it it was a great time
ily apb
ahhhh sweet 2012 :) memories

😭
I didn't even play this game extremely much, but this brings back memories.. shit, I kinda miss it !
Oh my god you just made my day. I will miss APB for a long time. Here's to hoping someone will pick it up and make something great out of it.
Anyone who wants this song should google mp3ify.
Please never take this down.
Best music

Ten years....crazy how time flies...will always remember that time when i was young and it was interesting to see how technician and games would develop :O But i will always love these simple games like APB the most
Good game to discuss
Jesus this is nostalgia heaven. Really miss this, the current music is trash.

APB is still hugely popular, during the day about 3000 per server, then at night it'll go to like 6-7k...its a great game to play a few mins, play with friends, or get super OP whatever your taste, it suits everyone
im still on this
This music brings back memories of fun times in San Paro. Can't wait for APB: RELOADED. I hope the release date dosent get pushed back.
I like this theme, it's really a big contrast to all the loud music the rest of the soundtrack consists of. This song sounds like you are driving towards San Paro, you look at the skyscrapers and think about the possibilities, which party you want to join, Enforcers or Criminals, Choices! It's a calm thinker song, pretty good choice for a login theme imo :)
So many Memories ;(

детство прошло, а я помню как на фогейме брал 235 ранг( или где то там последний за ментов)
nice theme man
