[[File:
''APB: All Points Bulletin'' was a Massively Multiplayer Online Action Game, clearly inspired by the ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]'' series and developed by Real Time Worlds, creators of ''[[Crackdown]]''. The players can play either as [[Cowboy Cop|Enforcers]] or as [[Captain Obvious|Criminals]] of [[City of Adventure|San Paro]] — for each side there are two factions (Prentiss Tigers and Praetorians for Enforcers, and G-Kings and Blood Roses for Criminals), each with its own bonuses and unlockable content.
Line 65:
* [[Mama Bear]] - More like Little Sister Bear: when Double B was a kid, some punks killed her brother. She ran away, came back with a [[Sawed-Off Shotgun]] and killed every last one of them.
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]] - Charlotte Bloodrose.
* [[Mini-Dress of Power]] - Lilith Bloodrose, Charlotte Bloodrose, Akiko X and Violet Prentiss, and considering the female player characters are [[Action Girl
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]] - Pagan, Lilith, Sabbat...
* [[No Export for You]] - Australia is screwed again, but this time, the reason isn't [[Moral Guardians]] - it's [[Money, Dear Boy]], as the cost of renting servers and high-speed connection in Australia is tantamount to extortion.
Line 73:
* [[Private Military Contractors]] - The Praetorians.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: Pagan Bloodrose with the newest patch.
* [[Rebellious Spirit
* [[Rage Quit]]: An interesting variant due to the 'threat system'. Some high-threat players, who want to keep their high threat, will often kick most if not all of their teammates right before a game ends to prevent their threat from dropping too much or to super-inflate their threat. Threat is directly affected by how many people are on your team and the enemy's, as well as the threat levels of everyone, and threat change is only calculated at the end of a match. There are some cases where a high-threat party leader kicks the entirety of his friendly team (which could be as much as ''nine'' people in a 10-on-10) just so their emblem could stay a certain colour.
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Mostly subverted since damaging other cars with your own does not do much damage and trying to push them off to force the players to exit them is quite difficult. Brutaly subverted with the Dumptruck which once it get's speed is near unstopable and can cause smaller cars to explode by pushing them into others. This has become a tactic of some Griefers.
Line 83:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] - When you'll hear songs like "Favorite Jeans" by Bertie Blackman or "Rewind" by Make Sparks, you will most probably ask yourself why the hell did the devs even choose it.
* [[Split Personality]] - Strega Bloodrose. She often says that "Strega is out" while referring to herself by her real name, Jocasta, and calls the player "her own private [[Ninja]] Strega shouldn't know about".
* [[Spoiled Brat
* [[Standard Status Effects]] - Enforcers can use Less-Than-Lethal armaments such as a taser pistol and a bean-bag rifle. These weapons can stun Criminals, leaving them helpless for a few seconds and able to be arrested by an Enforcer, giving them more than triple rewards compared to a kill and taking the Criminal out of the game for a longer period of time. Criminals universally consider these weapons [[Game Breaker
* [[Stripperiffic]] - Well, for starters: Pagan and Lilith Bloodrose, expect the players to roll with it as well. There '''are''' [[Cross Player|CrossPlayers]] out there after all.
* [[Tattooed Crook]] - Lots of them, both players and NPC Contacts.
