On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry (nicknamed "Section 8™") to repel the coming onslaught. Trying to set itself apart from all the other FPS's out there Section 8 brings new elements to the table but is it enough? LVLONE sat down with SouthPeak Games for a hands on preview of the multiplayer.

It’s rare to see new elements in a FPS (first person shooter) keeping gamers away from the addictive gameplay of Halo and Call of Duty. Luckily Section 8 brings new features to the table and a little extra. LVLONE sat down with SouthPeak and went hands-on with some of the multiplayer maps that will be in the game.

Focusing heavily on multiplayer, Section 8 pits two teams, up to 16 players, for each side. Squads will break up teams into smaller groups, making it easier to organize a plan of attack on your enemy; while each team can use various tactics, if successful will gain them a range of points during a match. Players will be able to choose from different classes, geared towards specific roles to strengthen the squad or players can create their own soldier.
