I've been watching this one for a while. I tried to play Beta, but unfortunately never got it to work. Is anyone else interested in Section 8?Official game description: Quote: 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. An intense first-person shooter, Section 8 allows players to dynamically alter the flow of combat as they see fit. Employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries, players are given unprecedented strategic control over epic sci-fi battlefields.

Looks really familiar to bf2142. I may pick it up but I don't plan on spending a ton of money on games this year like I did the last year.

Haha I don't spend that much money on games. I usually spend (unfortunately) $50-100 a year.

Well, I hear Steve is making a really nice budget build at around $400 you could look into. I am not sure if that is in your price range, but it may still help.

Currently I have a PC Budget Build going that is $360, but it may end up at about $400 flat. I might go pick up S8 on Saturday, tried to get it today but it is only out on Xbox. Reviews seem to average 75-85. I just need something to do

I probably wouldn't buy it. Before it came out I seen previews and I thought whoa it might can be the next best thing. But after seeing mixed reviews from ign,gamespot,oxm, gameinformer. i dunno it might be some good i might rent it b4 buy if i do decide to buy it. crysis+halo=Section 8 with some drawbacks of course
