CrimeCraft is not "a full-featured MMO" and they don't want to be, developer Vogster want "a solid shooter with good character customization" and social aspects.

While MMO All Points Bulletin may have 100 players on at a time, CrimeCraft has 1500 says the team - outside of customisation CrimeCraft is "a very, very different game" from APB.

"APB, from what I understand, is more of a full-featured MMO than we are, and we're not trying to be full-featured MMO," said Vogster's associate producer Aaron Krasnov.

"We just really want to be a solid shooter with good character customization and building tools with solid social community aspects. APB only has 100 people per server. We have 1500. To be fair, I haven't seen anything besides the trailer."

"Their character customization is amazing, and outside of that, I just think that we're a very, very different game." APB and CrimeCraft are not the only new entries into MMO space pushing their unique message for massive online shooters.

"We've kind of our own little place in that we're more of a shooter than those games," said Krasnov. "What we're doing right now is making sure we have the community tools and the content ready and we're making a push to get this into the competitive shooter space."

"As we made the game, we wanted complete parity between a level one player and level 15 in the actual shooter itself. We don't want a level 15 wiping the floor with a level one character," explained the developer.

"A level 50 character with max gear can only be twice as good as a level one character, so we're able to show the players that this is a game about skill. This isn't a game about leveling up." It may just appeal to trigger happy fans of Halo and Call of Duty after all.

CrimeCraft is being released on PC this August 25th exclusively in Best Buy stores and via digital distribution services. See the E3 trailer below.
