Section 8 casts players as futuristic, armor-clad soldiers who perform meteoric dives onto the battlefield, where they battle with up to 40 players on Windows PC or 32 on Xbox 360 for control of the immense cosmic landscapes.
Developed by TimeGate Studios, Section 8 opens up the tactical possibilities of team-based shooters by placing players in vast, open battlefields, and giving them the ability to Burn-In anywhere they choose from 15,000 feet above the map. In addition, every player in the game is equipped with a jetpack and an overdrive sprint ability, which they can use to quickly get to any objective and attack from any angle.
"Under a familiar veneer of power armor and guns, TimeGate has carved out its own niche by designing something special," said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak. "Players will get schooled if they go into this expecting the same old multiplayer combat. Spraying and praying will result in a pretty quick death and fans of a certain Spartan won't last long unless they can adjust to truly tactical combat. They have to think; using tactics beyond simple run-and-gun, such as selecting loadouts and deployables and how to coordinate their squad for maximum lethality. It's the game that TimeGate, as massive fans of the multiplayer FPS genre, wanted to make and they've succeeded in delivering a gamer's game; a benchmark of gameplay excellence."
Section 8 is the first Xbox 360 title to allow players to host their own dedicated servers using a Windows-based PC. These "X Servers" will support up to 32 players for Xbox 360. Windows PC users can play on dedicated servers with up to 40 players. When dedicated servers are not used, Section 8 supports up to 16 players on Windows PC and Xbox 360.
