Section 8 @ NotCliche

“A new kind war,”

“Demands a new kind of Warrior.”

I have to admit it. Although Section 8 has been announced eons ago when the sun still shines, the latest trailer has got me genuinely interested in the game itself.

Being a FPS by itself, there’s lots of people claiming that it’s a Halo clone and stuffs like that. Now, I won’t deny that it indeed looks like Halo, simply because of the fact that you have some awesome looking suit, and you’re playing a FPS. That’s about it for the similarities as far as I can see.

Setting that aside, Section 8 actually has some pretty cool features, such as falling 15,000 feet from the sky. While that doesn’t sound useful, I heard that this “falling down” mechanic is used in multiplayer. As soon as you die, you will respawn by dropping out of your ship, literally flying down at an awesome speed, and finally smashing anything on the ground. Now, if only they would shout, “DEATH FROM ABOVE!“…

Other than that, you’re able to call down Heavy Support as and when you like. Support as in something in a form of a Tank, or something a form of a Walker.

Now now, who can resist Walkers AND ultra-cool looking armours? This is too much!

Section 8 will be making it’s way this Fall to the Xbox 360 console and the PC Platform.
