    You will get a multiplayer that is full of memorable moments and adrenaline filled shootouts, but don`t confuse it with the ordinary "run & gun" gameplay because this game is all about teamplay and tactics. The multiplayer battles got support for 32 players and the game mode is called Conquest. You battle for 4 control points and for dynamic objectives to win the match, it`s very much like the conquest mode in the Battlefield games but with more things happening (like dynamic objectives). The objectives can be to kill a VIP player or to kill a bunch of players, but it can also be about protecting things or attacking things like a transport. Then you got a mode called Swarm, it`s a co-op game type which you can play either by yourself with bots or with up to 3 friends, the objective is to protect a capture point from enemy AI soldiers for 15 minutes, this game mode is very fun indeed. It´s like the survival mode in Left 4 Dead but with some nice tower defense added to spice all up. When you kill enemies you gain money both in Swarm and in Conquest and with that money you can buy vehicles and turrets, it`s a very important part of the game and makes it more tactical. All in all this is a great game which you should buy if your a fan of FPS games and for just 15$ dollars you aren`t exactly taking a big risk, and i bet you will like the game when you learnt the basics. I give this game 9/10 for it`s amazing price and simply because it`s a great game!    … Expand

I find myself getting cravings to play it, which is rare with FPS's these days. The gameplay is intense and very easy to get wrapped up in, especially completing objectives alongside squadmates on Conquest. Which beings me to my only major complaint, but I suppose it's true of most games in this ganre; the amount of people playing on any given server that actually want to capture the objectives and operate as a team will vary wildly. Sometimes you get stuck with a team full of losers that think they can go it alone and rack up kills like they're playing CoD. Fortunately, S8:P doesn't encourage that. Think Unreal 2K4 combined with BF:2142. An awesome experience that I wish had a larger fanbase filling servers. I don't want to see this game die.… Expand

I spent about 3 hours this evening playing the conquest mode with only one hiccup, but that was Comcast's fault. I really like that there doesn't seem to be even a single worthless weapon, and that even starting out fresh at level 1, if you're a more skilled player than someone else, you will kill them regardless of what equipment they've unlocked. It's always bothered me that FPS games as of late have all prescribed to the "find or unlock the biggest insta-kill weapon with the least accuracy requirement and spam it" methodology to firefights, and I'm very pleased that this game does not do that. It rewards teamwork, strategy, and creative deployable/orbit drop placement. The lock-on feature, while present, is not overdone or overpowered, as you can only lock on to a person for a very short period of time, and there is a cooldown between uses of the lock-on feature, and you cannot be killed by hit-scan weapons (from a single person) during the amount of time that the lock-on actually holds. Sniper rifles, rockets, etc which actually have a travel time will miss even while locked on if the person is actively trying to evade your weapons fire. Vehicles and the mechs are very tough to take out on foot, but since absolutely anyone can drop deployable turrets, they can easily be brought under control.
    The environments and characters are pretty, but not overdone, and it seems Timegate actually figured out that a good game is good because its easy to pick up, fun to play, and hard to be great at. There was one minor issue I did find with clipping while crouching, where sometimes (not very often) if you're in extremely jagged terrain you will get "stuck", though all you have to do to free yourself is stand up and move. All in all, if you like FPS games where actual skill matters more than what weapons you have and you enjoy a good firefight where target priority and tactics are important, you wont regret buying this (unless you don't understand system requirements and have an underpowered machine, and that is your fault, not the game's)    … Expand

Assult you either get all the bases or none. and you either guard or attack. the mode isnt too bad and can add a bit of variety to the crowded FPS genre. Then conquest is all the bases are neutral and you need to capture then. the problem? you always get stuck on the loosing side and its very difficult starting off... I have many problems with other players who are higher level. they a near impossible to kill without cheap tricks. anyway besides that they are adding more modes so Thats nice... Finally its time to talk about Character customization. Its great. you get 2 weapons of your choice from the basic pistol to rocket launcher,but thats not it, you then choose the ammo the effect shield or health more or medium damage. Then you get 2 items like mortars to healing tools. then armor and finaaly getting to add points to different perks. Overall you can create a character for just about any situation. So overall the game is great, but has little variety for now. Still great way to spend $15… Expand

    The price is definitely a positive, but the gameplay should be why you bought it. The story lasts a good 4 hours, and the multiplayer is infinitely replayable. In conquest, you fight to control command points. The longer you hold them, and the more of them you hold, the more points you get. Swarm is a co-op mission for up to 4 people to protect a control point from swarms of AI bots.The price is definitely a positive, but the gameplay should be why you bought it.

    An all-round great FPS game. Futuristic Hi Tech Soldier is the theme of this FPS. Customization of armor and weapons allow you to fight on your own style FPS (Stealth, Sniper, Anti-Vehicle, etc.) Good Coops mode. Great single player mode, despite of lacking in map variety. Great animation and environment effect (Knife execution, Recovering Shield, Snow Storm etc.) Overall: Great game to have.

    The people who made this game weren't good at what they did. The fact that the studio has since shut down is testament to the fact. Like it's cumbersome DRM "Games for Windows Live". This game's existance cannot be justified. Cliche'd, boring and offensively generic. Don't waste your time.

Me and 4 of my buddies can form a squad on a multiplayer server, hop on vent, and have a great time for a couple of hours. Oh, I did think of one thing bad to say about it, though I think that's not really it's fault: It's another GFWL. So, if you ain't a fan of that, more of the same with this. But otherwise, that's a UI issue that wasn't really the Dev team's choice, so I can't fault them for that. Graphics = 10, Sound = 10, Gameplay = 10, UI = 9, PRICE = 11, so Overall = 10!… Expand

    With so many FPSs on the market today, you've got to be really good to impress me. Yeah, the game looks and plays better than the original but it still doesn't go far enough to make me want to buy it again. The gameplay lacks that "I gotta do it" feel. Just feels rather plain, like a me-too version of every other FPS that is out there.

Even with the Auto Lock On mechanic it takes a ton of bullets to kill anything. The drop in mechanic in MP quickly gets annoying due to AA preventing you from dropping on most areas of the map. The deployable weapons are rather weak as well, which quickly made them more of nuisance to deploy than a benefit. This game was not even worth $15.… Expand

Through careful choice of these equipment, and the upgrade points system, you can play as a two shot kill sniper, or repair specialist facilitating others. + price, $15 = Call of Duty 4 on sale at 50% off! THE BAD:- weapon imbalance. It's always an issue for new games, especially with so many choices. Developers are listening to the community for feedback. - uses GfWL, I've had no problem myself, but heard it can be buggy. - small community. Unbelievably small group of players for such a good game. ~2-3 servers with good number of people at night for the Conquest Mode. (Which is exactly why we need more players!!! Try it!!!) - a number of bugs. Some fixed by latest patch, others are being worked on according to developers. - newcomers lose a lot at first. New players won't have access to all weapon choices, which are unlocked with more play. Understanding how to make choices on equipment, and how to finish random missions will be confusing at first. So yeah the game is not perfect, but TimeGate is hard at work to improve it. And even as it is right now, it's well worth its price. WE NEED MORE PLAYERS!… Expand

    very nice game considering it is only $15, a really entertaining campaign, really fun coop, and awesome multiplayer conquest and assault game types which unlockables and achievments. Sad to say not long after its release there has been a MASSIVE drop in players which is really disappointing if your looking to play conquest or assault.... you can still get a good game of coop.

    Great fun, fast paced sci-fi shooter. It looks fantastic and feels very responsive. The single player campaign is fairly standard but the multiplayer modes are great. Well worth the $15.

    I like this game but don't seem to be playing it much. It is a very good, original game and very well made. I wish I could put my finger on what it is that I don't like about it - possibly the maps are too small?

The amount of content you get for this game for that price is amazing. Ive been playing the single player campaign and Ive been impressed. The game play is that of unreal tournament and tribes put together. The weapons and deployables all great and you wont be disappointed by AI. The game modes are alot of fun too, especially swarm in which you and 3 other players are to defend a sector at all costs from invaders, with a bunch of side missions during it. The game delivered and if your an action fps fan then do not hesitate. Another thing is not to trust game review sites such as IGN. They gave this game a low score because it doesnt have the flash of Call of duty or other generic shooters out there and in turn section 8 prej delivered alot more content then it ever did. The only reason I didnt give this game a 10 is because of GFWL. Once again they like to make inconvenient for pc players to have to sign in, activate the product with them just so they can make us believe its for "security"..right. Any way, Section 8 prejudice: Excellent buy… Expand

    Some of the greatest combat I've seen in a while. INSANELY FUN. Definitely worth $15. Great campaign, but the multiplayer is the amazing part, it will provide at least 8 hours a week of fun. And the campaign has good dialog and humor. I think it's a great time, but there are a few things to count as a bad time.

    The game is a good fps, sectioned in missions and checkpoints like many others.

Somehow, this game has some level of customization, but most people will use similar sets of weapons and upgrades. The upgrades are too weak, while the base character too strong. In other words, you can't really tell if someone is using a fully defensive/fully offensive or mixed set of upgrades just by fighting him. They should make the character weaker and allow us to really upgrade it, add more upgrade points, resulting in a bigger degree of customization. The multiplayer side of the game is really good, an fps with some TD spice and play-time dynamic objectives (randomly generated, can be boring sometimes). The game can be really improved in the next versions, a better storyline for campaign and balances along with the problems stated above. It would get a 8.5, so, 9. Due to Windows live being mandatory, it'll be a 7.    … Expand

    Finnished this game's single player story in 7 hours.
    Story has a lame ending, feels rushed.
    Mulit-Player Combat is nothing to write home about.
    The only remotly fun aspect it the swarm mode in multi-player...thats it.

    Not really worth picking this up unless it is really really cheap and you got the cash to burn.

    Not bad for be a low price game, sadly multiplayer part is dead, community went to like 50 players around the world in less then 2 weeks, the campaign mode isn't bad, but if you want some good FPS i think there's much better around.

    My favorite shooter of all time! The game may have a bad single player, but that's because it was made for multiplayer. The spawning is unique to any game since you're just fired out of a ship in orbit ( air brakes optional : D ). The Class feature is VERY specific.

    This is pretty close to BC2 in space. For $15 you get a 6-8 hour single player campaign (that walks you through all the weapons, off-hands, and maps), a Swarm mode where you defend a base against waves of increasingly difficult enemies, and 2 pvp modes. These consist of Conquest mode (where you hold control points for tickets and do DCMs for bonus tickets) and Assault mode (teams takeThis is pretty close to BC2 in space.

These consist of Conquest mode (where you hold control points for tickets and do DCMs for bonus tickets) and Assault mode (teams take turns defending 4 bases and the faster team to cap wins the map). Customization consists of 2 main weapons slots (shotguns, RLs, MGs, pistols, etc.), 2 off-hands (various tools and explosives), skin choices, and defense/offense loadouts. Each weapon also has unlocks for different ammo/explosion types so the customization is deep. You also get cash for objectives/kills/assists/etc. to airdrop in buildings and vehicles so your money management can change the flow of battle greatly. Don't let the GFWL scare you (it only manages Friends list & achievements) and pick this up if you enjoy team-oriented FPSs.… Expand

    I own the PC version of this game, and i really didn't expect much from this game but i got it anyways because it was $3 on a Daily Steam sale. It is now one of my favorite games to play online. Online is well balanced and addicting, and has a good verity of game modes. Camping is fun, but short and pretty average as the story is boring but the Multiplayer is worth the $15 alone.

    With so many FPSs on the market today, you've got to be really good to impress me. Yeah, the game looks and plays better than the original but it still doesn't go far enough to make me want to buy it again. The gameplay lacks that "I gotta do it" feel. Just feels rather plain, like a me-too version of every other FPS that is out there.

    Reasonably competent team shooter with hefty-feeling controls and weapons, and excellent visual effects. It's been so long since i've played it that I'm not sure if it still has a playerbase or not, but I enjoyed it at the time.
