The Story
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. The nickname refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty. The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands them as insane by other military units.

Section 8 deploys by 'burning in' from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military hardware known to man. Their mission: to scout and secure difficult objectives and smash enemy defenses in lightning-quick assaults.


In Section 8, you must use your weaponry to beat back the enemy and seize disputed territory. Determine your own role in the brutal combat by customizing your armor and weapons. Call in deployables, including gun emplacements, tanks and walking war machines, to help you gain or maintain the advantage. See sprawling battlefields come alive before you with the power of a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3, and join the battle with additional players in epic multiplayer combat that allows for clan, team and individual stat tracking.

  • Select your own weapons, armor and other customizations to determine your role in combat rather than being assigned to a specific class
