If you're anything like me, you're laughing right now at all those suckers who bought Modern Warfare 2 or Left 4 D... ah, who the hell am I kidding, this is no time for jokes. Section 8 is by no means a great game, getting a failing grade from the whole of the gaming community. Yet SouthPeak is determined to support whatever community is left, hinting at more DLC coming before the Holiday season is over in a financial report a few weeks ago by company CEO Melanie Mroz:

“Because of the unique online multiplayer gameplay, we anticipate that with additional downloadable content that will be available shortly... we can extend the life of the product well through the holiday season”

Today ten new achievements for an extra 250 gamerscore have been added to both the 360 and PC versions of the game, showing at least three new maps and a few game mode variants. The coming content was never officially confirmed by the company, so no price or release date is available, but this is as good as confirmed can be. If you're still a Section 8 fan, stay tuned for more info as it comes.

  • Yippee?
  • Section 8? More like Section Fail.
  • nice....lookin forward to this
  • Damn....I just sold this
  • #2 joke fail :)
  • DaChiefOfOwnage? More like DaChiefOfTerribleJokesAndIgnoranceTaintedIdiocy
  • This is a game?
  • Its a Halo knockoff. So i just traded it in the next day.
  • @8, A halo knockoff? I wanna know what Halo you've been playing. Because if there was a Halo where i could modify my kit and drop in from the sky and uses mechs, i wouldn't of waited 6 months to buy it!
  • Never even played the game.
  • Woah number 2 careful on those amazing jokes!
  • I avoided this game because of the sheer number of multiplayer achievements. It just takes the fun out of the game for me when you are required to play in a certain way with a group (basically boosting, rather than just enjoying the game).
  • @ #2: Your pun failed just as hard as the game did, if not more.
  • #8 I've played halo before and besides the bright multiplayer I can't find much resemblance. #12 I totally agree. A multiplayer game making you play multiplayer for shame. I hate it when developers of games make you try and play the main feature of a game. This is a fun game and maybe if this dlc becomes a deal of the week I'll get it.
  • I fucking loved section 8 but there was never any games going. Shame really. Maybe try again with this rather difficult dlc list... 5 overdrive kills in a round? Ouch!
  • this game is horrible...epic fail to #2
  • this game is soooo crap why do people like this ? beside is unreal engine anything else ?
  • The demo was alright, but I wanted to spend my money elsewhere. It isn't bad, it just isn't amazing.
  • THIS GAME = EPIC FAILURE. Even my friend who is die=hard halo nut say this game has way to much shield. lol! THAT COMING FROM A HALO GAMER! o.O So that's pretty bad.
  • Watch this get canceled.
  • i bought this game as a deal off amazon and have yet to play it
  • Webb you seem to forget I gave the game an 80 =P
  • Sorry. Pants, not Webb...
  • I'm glad I waited playing this game, does this mean that they fixed the glitches that some players experienced?
  • @#2.... LOL very original... :| Yeah i wanted to get this game, but the multiplayer achievements were what turned me off. Its pretty much impossible to find a lag free game where i am
  • Played the demo stayed away from the full release, such a bad game I don't see how so many people play it.
  • Hell ya love this game and still playing on PC will defo pick it up. Nothing quite like it out there^^
  • Lol I love how a lot of people are saying it's like a Halo game. No where close...
  • Section 8 has an acquired taste to it. I think was pretty good. Not spectacular, just good.
  • I agree with comment #2
  • #2 reminds me of Brick Tamland: Where'd you get your clothes... from the... toilet store?
  • Wait...I'm confused.. Failing grade?? Yet...the reviewer themselves gave it an 80.... ..Is...Is 80 considered a fail these days? :S
  • From reading these comments i get the conclusion fps=halo knockoff.... I was unaware of this and can't believe i have bought 3 halo knockoffs whon i could be playing halo... Other then that the game was ok, i just wis it was more 50/50 online and off not just online. the story line was there and it took me 2 months to ry and finish.
  • @9 It plays more like Tribes rather then Same old shit Halo.
  • @2 pay no notice of the the haters,your right this game sucked so bad i traded it in within 24 hours of buying it, they should have called it section masterbate
  • @#35 ...What?
  • Section 8....the game is about housing?...
  • really that bad of game o.o?
  • I liked this demo, but I knew the online community wouldn't be very big so I never got it. Still doesn't make it a bad game though. And to everyone saying it's a halo knockoff, you're an idiot.
