Though there is only one match type, the dynamic objectives keep the action feeling fresh and continually force you to switch your tactics to counter the changing battlefield. The expansive environments can get lonely if you find yourself far away from everyone else, but they are well constructed, giving many different ways to try to capture control points or ambush your hapless enemies. And if you can't find enough players to fill all 32 spots, you can add as many bots as you want. The bots present worthy adversaries and allies, not only in their battle acumen, but in the way they approach objectives or just hang back to defend your base. With a few more weapon types and vehicles that actually worked, Section 8 could have been a lot more exciting. As it is, this is a satisfying take on the genre that makes up in fun what it lacks in innovation".

Venturebeat.com: Publishers and developers are like soap-opera characters. One day they’re working together, then the next they’re plotting how to take each other down.
That’s how developer TimeGate, which produced the Xbox Live Arcade first-person shooter Section 8, ended up owing publisher SouthPeak Interactive $7.3 million in damages, as originally reported by Polygon. This comes after the latest court appeal in the long-running case went in favor of SouthPeak.
Awww, this is horrible. This is going to destroy them. Southpeak, this is not cool. You could of just told them to pay your lawyer fees and then just let them be. I know what company I will be boycotting in the future.
"I" will be boycotting in the future?
It's not a boycott if it's only one person.
No offense, but I think people on the gaming scene just use words they don't know :O
No idea why I'm getting (at the moment of this edit, only one...) disagrees...
It's true.
Hey I just googled for the official meaning of boycott including dictionary. Com, Wikipedia amongst others, but it doesnt state anywhere that there needs to be a headcount requirement.
From my reading, it seems like one or a party can boycott whatever they want.
Idk but if there's anything else to it, plz enlighten us.
Both sides are idiots here. TimeGate isn't innocent, they are the ones that originally opened the lawsuit. Their publisher just said "yeah? Well take this" and won.
Honestly I'm normally on the developers side, but it was stupid to do that and greedy. Just say "we are done" and walk away, find someone else to publish. If they want the crappy Section 8 license, let them have it.
Whenever someone says both sides are wrong, it means they don't have the balls to be fair or they just don't know the facts.
To be fair to what? The developer was stupid for opening the lawsuit, and the publisher is stupid for taking it too far.
I would say it takes a lot more balls to say both sides are morons instead of picking a side.
The law is always on the side of the guys with more money.
In this case, the publisher paid more so now the developers have to give up the franchise and go bankrupt. Justice isn't served.
a fail just about on every review for this game, only a prelude for the review of Halo RRoDst :P :P :P
But to me it's just another shooter. Nothing too special.
