    Does anyone here play Section 8? Is it any good?

    I saw this for 50% off sale many times on D2D. And again they are having the 50% off sale this week. I was thinking of picking it up but just wanted to make sure if its good. BTW multiplayer is important to me.

    Reviews I read say:

    This game had potential to be awesome.

    But they missed the mark, by quite a margin.

    Its a good offline game.. meaning.. you can play against bots Sniper, medic, assualt, etc... It's neat in my book. If you can get it for 10 bucks or so it's worth it.

    I like stuff I can play offline in a plane or train or something... This qualifies. It doesnt take a monster rig to play it either.

    Best wishes,

    well im only interested in the multiplayer componenet and this game looks fun despite its reviews. Did they make any patches since those bad reviews?

    Why don't you hit up a Section 8 forum and see how active the game is first. Would be a bummer to buy it and then discover there aren't any players.

    I believe Ziddy meant visiting another specfic Section 8 forum on the www rather than creating some dedicated cricket-infested thread here.
