Section 8 is a FPS shooter that takes place in the future, where the colonies under the United States have fallen to an insurrection that spread like wildfire through the systems. The 8th Armored Infantry Regiment (shortened to "Section 8") of the United States military is sent to contain the threat. Sent in first to the frontlines, the elite Section 8 is the spearhead of the assault.

Curiously, according to the website, Section 8 also refers to a part under military doctrine which discharges soldiers due to being mentally unfit to fight. A twist on the title, as the website explains that the 8th commonly volunteers itself for missions that would normally be considered suicide.

An unusually Battlefield-like shooter that mysteriously appears out of nowhere with one trailer that shows extremely good promise? We'll see. Timegate claims that they have some new twists on the formula with "burning in" (orbital drop to anywhere on the map) and on-demand vehicle and supply deliveries. Not to mention that their suits look awesome.

Beta is at FilePlanet (curiously, I am unable to find the link).

Their second video (first video didn't hold much): Finish Trailer

It's being made by Timegate Studios, creators of the dreaded FEAR expansion packs and the decent RTS games Axis and Allies, and Kohan. Just throwing it out there because it's literally nonexistent as of right now.
