    Don't waste your time or money. This game comes close to being good, and actually was fun for me for about a week. I hit level 22 in that week, of a max 50. Because of the pre-order headstart and the fact that I didn't get in the game for a few days after retail release, I was behind the curve on leveling, even playing frequently. With other players reaching the top levels it Don't waste your time or money. This game comes close to being good, and actually was fun for me for about a week. I hit level 22 in that week, of a max 50. Because of the pre-order headstart and the fact that I didn't get in the game for a few days after retail release, I was behind the curve on leveling, even playing frequently. With other players reaching the top levels it has become obvious that the PvP in this game is not skill based as promised, but based on character level and equipment as in most MMOs. Your weapons are already less effective than what a high level character has access to, this is made worse by higher level characters being able to stack damage resists to further widen the gap. This wouldn't be such an issue if there were level divisions in PvP, but the only divisions are 1-6 and 7-50, so once you reach level 7 you will randomly matched against players of all levels. This is extremely furstrating as you just get killed over and over regardless of how well you play, because you can shoot someone in the back several times and they live to turn around and one-shot you due to the level gap. Levelling up is painful as the PvE is pretty much broken, and only offers two modes. PvP is faster to level up, IF you do well in a match. Unfortunately it's getting harder to do well in PvP as the average player level increases. In a week or two it will be extremely brutal to newbies, and the player numbers are already very low. Can you believe 300 players online at peak times, for a game that's been out just about two weeks?… Expand

    A nice concept running on a great engine like the Unreal Engine 3 is, ruined by technical issues and a repetitive gameplay where you repeat the same quest over and over and earn so little that your time seem completely wasted.

And now there is a free account, yes it's obviously a trial (where you can't craft, can't join guilds/gangs, ...) but when the entire game is based on PVP quest and without a premium account you can't kill anyone because they have overpowered items ... it's worse than you might think... It's a game in a beta stage, i think that they are making gamers pay for a beta. That's my experience on CrimeCraft.… Expand

    Poor game - gets stale in a matter of days. Why they expect anyone to pay for a retail box, monthly fee, and micro-transactions is beyond comprehension. There has been a maximum of 350 users online in PEAK times, on the one and only server. This game will not last to see 2010, save your money and time.

    This game is going free 2 play.. but it is still pretty crappy. I'm guessing the hacks will set in when it goes F2P as no one will care if they use aimbots at that point. The original money scam was pretty bad.. I think they've figured that part out already though. I would compare this game to Battlefield Heroes, but I think BF:H is a bit better and priced more realistically for This game is going free 2 play.. but it is still pretty crappy.

    Now i play a lot of games, this one by far was such a dissappointment. Its supposed to be a persistent mmo but well it isnt very persistent. the graphics are decent, nothing top notch but acceptable. the gameplay though is wat kills the entirety of the game. everythin is based on PvE or PvP, for those who do not know wat that it, you pretty much load into the game, walk to certain people Now i play a lot of games, this one by far was such a dissappointment.

    I fell that this was the worst MMOG I have ever played. I gave it a good go but after a month of playing it felt more like a bad FPS with unblanced wepones and no players. The crafting was unrewarding and loot just sucked. I ended my eve subscribtion to try this game becuse it was a FPS MMOG but i found larger games in CS and Call of Duty WAW and btw the leveling is a lot better in WAW I fell that this was the worst MMOG I have ever played.

    "Awesome!" That's what ran inside my mind when I saw this. I was able to enjoy a game that lets you create your own gang and other stuff that has not been done before outside of a flash game. After two hours of installing I was ready to play...I was not ready to hit play and be directed to a site asking me to pay ANOTHER $19.99 for two months of play! THIS IS ABSURED!! I refunded it "Awesome!" That's what ran inside my mind when I saw this.

I refunded it not even four hours after purchase. Do not purchase this, there are plenty of games online that are the EXACT same thing and they are free. Who wants to pay $49.99 for a game, THEN pay ANOTHER $19.99 for only TWO MONTHS OF PLAY!! THEN, IT'S $9.99 FOR EACH MONTH!! This is would have made a great Single Player game.… Expand

    Do not buy this game, it's a complete ripoff. First, it has zero content. Instances that are no better than free mods you'll find for Counter Strike Source, and it's a micro-payment game where you have to pay real world money for buffs that give you an edge in PVP. On top of that, it's a subscription game. It's a complete lose, front, middle and back.

I have given my life to this game and tried my hardest to encourage all players and help all players. Recently I was wrongfully banned from this game for ever...... for what u ask?? Cheating,Hacking ...... NOT AT ALL. I was banned for life for asking questions about the GM'S and how they are abusing there power all the time. They tried to hide my posts in the forums and tried to mute my in game chat. After trying many times and getting many warnings from them to stop. I listened to my heart and couldnt let it keep going on without saying something. It started with 1 post with no slander or wrong information it was full of actual facts and screenshots for proof of wrongdoings. Instead of letting the community voice there opinion they needlessly deleted all posts concerning gm moderation and tried to hide and surpress all evidence. I was not about to stand there an let this go on so i caused a stir as they called it in the community trying to let the people see the truth. Apperently they dont want the truth to be known so i was permimentaly banned from the game and continously needlessly muted. Here is a link to my rant video best explaining what has transpired in the past few days.

    The standard PvP gameplay can be a lot of fun, and the RPG elements are better than expected. But much of what is offered is available in most shooters with free multiplayer.

    There are fun moments to be had, but it feels like a combination of different games forced together. There isn't anything terribly unique about it, and frankly, it really needs more game play content outside of the instances.

    You'd think that a "persistent world next-gen shooter" would have a persistent world. What you get instead is a static universe filled with traditional non-player character vendors, crafting facilities, auction houses, and a distinct lack of adventure.
