  • This page contains a full-text walkthrough for Section 8, a first-person shooter developed by TimeGate Studios and published by SouthPeak Interactive. It was released on September 1, 2009 for the Xbox 360 in North America and September 4 for the PC.

  • Introduction

    • Section 8 is a first-person shooter for Windows and the Xbox 360 with the primary focus of the multiplayer version of the game. It is important to play through the single player version first to learn all the necessary skills for successful gameplay in the multiplayer version. The single player campaign centers around the efforts of Alex Corde, Section 8 elite infantry squad member, and his struggle to defeat their enemy, the ARM of Orion.
    •  
    • Instead of spawning at predetermined areas on the map, players select to "burn in" from 15,000 foot dropships high above the battlefield. Burn ins can involve dropping straight to the ground, or by using air brakes to slow descent and steer towards a particular spot. Vehicles and other weapons are also selected and purchased with "Requisition Points" that are earned during the course of the game.
