This was on sale at gamersgate and it sounds like it could be a really interesting/fun game. its only $5 there and has dedicated servers (from what I looked up) for multiplayer. Anyone heard of it, and anyone interested in getting it?

Section 8 - GamersGate

Section 8 is a sci-fi first person shooter delivering the ultimate multiplayer experience. Shattering the worn-out clichés of the genre, players determine their own role in combat through customization of weapons and armor and by altering the flow of battle - calling in ‘deployables’ and triggering objective-based missions that affect the entire battlefield.

With up to three hours of actual gameplay stretching out in front of them per level, players will need more than just muscle power to get across each level safely. Damnation will offer players a selection of awe-inspiring vehicles, from motorbikes capable of launching across seemingly infinite chasms, to huge, armour-piercing marvels that will induce mayhem with every huge shell.

Dynamic Combat Missions alter the flow of battle and remove all predictability. Use your wits to gain victory instead of just doing the same things over and over again
Call in ‘deployables’ such as powerful gun emplacements, tanks and walking war machines to secure your hard-won territory or to gain a strategic advantage as you advance on the enemy
Choose your weapons, armor and more; don’t be restrict*ed to a class such as ‘scout’ or ‘medic’
Incredible graphics, powered by a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3, delivering huge, open battlefields
Full single-player campaign telling the story of trooper Alex Corde
Unrivalled multiplayer combat allowing for clan, team and individual stat tracking

Hmm, never heard of it. Kind of looks like a Halo or UT type of setting/play though. That's just the look/feel I get though looking at the SS.

I think for the price it could be fun if it was possible to get some TPG people to get it/play it together. Nothing server worthy, but just something different every now and then for fun.

I heard from somewhere that it was a massive disappointment. Not sure why, I just remember hearing that for some reason.

Very halo like combat wise. You have areas to capture. I played it and wasn't impressed with it in the least.

I have beaten the campaign and it was boring, multiplayer was less interesting then Halo but of course with friends it could be ok.

I Playtested this game at the final state before release on the xbox360. I wasn't impressed, very unoriginal gameplay apart from the drop in from the sky when you spawn. But it can be fun with people you know for sure, but alone it was pretty boring specially the campaign.
