A large-scale, futuristic FPS that brings strategy and tactics to the genre in a game where players can modify the battlefield on the fly.

ESRB rating

Mild Language, Violence 


Full description

Section 8 is a futuristic first-person shooter that finds two factions, the 8th Armored Infantry and Arm of Orion, engaged in war over the right to colonize planets. Embark on a single-player campaign as a member of the 8th Armored Infantry in missions taking place on multiple worlds. You can also engage others in 16-player online combat, with or without computer-controlled bots, and battle the AI in instant action scenarios. Section 8 lets you customize your armored soldier's equipment and allows you to call on a dropship to deploy vehicles or weapons at any time and in any location. The dynamic battlefield ensures no two games will play exactly the same way, as objectives are updated in the heat of combat instead of being scripted in advance.

Section 8

Synopsis

In Section 8, you must use your weaponry to beat back the enemy and seize disputed territory. Determine your own role in the brutal combat by customizing your armor and weapons. Call in deployables, including gun emplacements, tanks and walking war machines, to help you gain or maintain the advantage. See sprawling battlefields come alive before you with the power of a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3, and join the battle with additional players in epic multiplayer combat that allows for clan, team and individual stat tracking.

Key Game Features:

  • Select your own weapons, armor and other customizations to determine your role in combat rather than being assigned to a specific class
  • Watch a massive battlefield unfurl below you as you burn in from 15,000 feet, then hit your air brakes and decide where to land
  • Secure your territory or gain a tactical advantage by calling in deployables like tanks and walking war machines
  • Explore dynamic combat missions that test your wits with unpredictability that changes the flow of battle
  • Complete a full single-player campaign that reveals the story of trooper Alex Corde
  • Blast into battle with up to 31 additional players online via incredible multiplayer combat complete with clan, team and individual stat tracking

The Story
On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry (nicknamed "Section 8") to repel the coming onslaught.

The nickname refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty. The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands them as insane by other military units.

Section 8 deploys by 'burning in' from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military hardware known to man. Their mission: to scout and secure difficult objectives and smash enemy defenses in lightning-quick assaults.
