A huge disappointment..........
-jetpacks!!
-solid gameplay and objective-based mission system
-multiplayer has potential for some truly awsome battles!
-dropping from space!!
cons:
-boring singleplayer campaign and story
-jetpack is not as fun as in the tribes games
-average graphics and terrible art
-flat and empty maps that all look the same..
-vehicles are useless....
-and there are only two of them!!!..
-the whole game feels unfinished and stripped
-weapons are boring as hell and there're only few of them
-virtually this game is a poor man's UT3.......
conclusion:
i was extremely disappointed by section 8!!, i was expecting it to be a be a mix of UT2k4, halo(pc) and tribes vengeance but the end result was a total letdown!, it never really come close to any of these classics.
section 8 does have the potential to be a great multiplayer shooter atleast on paper but in reality it's a totally different matter!, while the game clearly copies some of the successfyl elements of other great FPS multiplayer shooters such as the objective-based assault like mission system of the Battlefield series and the jetpacks from the Tribes games, still the game doesn't have a soul!, maybe it's because the graphics are generic and boring or the vehicles are few and useless or because the weapons are some of the most boring and worst the genre has ever seen...
another issue with section 8 is the obvious lack of polish and content!, the game feels stripped with only two vehicles to use(no air units!!), the game could've also featured more weapons, classes variety. for a game that puts so much emaphasis on armour and special abilities, the armour and suits are extremely lacking in terms of variety and details, there're only two types of armours and they do look ugly and generic..
it's funny to hear the developers saying that they used Aliens and Starship troopers as reference points to make this game because the final product has absolutely nothing in common with any of these sci-fi classics!!.......shame
