[PC] Section 8 BETA


Recommended Posts

Played this and I'm quite impressed. Reminds me of SW Battlefront II.. lock on feature is interesting.. kind of rigged.

It seems to be a more relaxed FPS, but the ability to purchase and build turrets etc., makes things different. Armor is reminiscent of Halo 3 as well

Wow you're right. 5 minutes and counting on starting the installer.

signed up on the site but there wasn't any system requirements options to fill in. Do you have to sign up again once you get selected?

I signed up and got a key, but now when I click on the download link I was emailed it takes me to the "Enlist Now" screen to sign up all over again. How can I download it without having to sign up again?

Love the custom loadouts.

is everyone signing up on fileplanet? I did it from the official website because fileplanet said I wasn't in the US or Canada. How come you guys are getting your keys so quickly? I haven't got one yet :( just a boring email.

edit, pants, looking on the official forum and it says the EU beta hasn't started yet, ffs why do the US always get in on stuff, when the UK & Europe yet bug*er all?

Seems like an interesting game but I personally can not use the artillery loadout (more specifically the massive gun) effectively. 3 attempts to use it, all 3 ended in my computer restarting (not freezing or bluescreening, instant off then back on) the second I right click to scope with it. I can fire it normally, I can play for hours without any problems, but the second I scope with the artillery gun my computer is rebooting. No idea what could possibly cause it, highest temp in my computer is my GPU memory which is at 70C, core is at 66C, CPU is at only 45C max. Doubt its a power issue, 650w PSU and using no more than 500 under full load (thats 100% CPU and 100% GPU, which the game doesnt run at). I can play everything but the artillery gun without a problem for hours on end but the second I try to scope with it its reboot time. :(

mwpeck, I suggest you post a bug report about that on the Section 8 forums someplace.

As for the game, it's MUCH better since the patch. Wow, amazing what a little patch can do huh? The weapons handle and feel way way better, the overall game is just smoother and a better experience.

Make sure you download the patch as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I updated my original post to include a link for the patch. :)

Does the game not download patches automatically? They need to be downloaded and installed manually?

this game just puts you straight into the action, no intro whatsoever.

I'm assuming that it must take some getting used to. but its alot of stuff on the HUD

Well I'm sure when the game hits retail there will be a tutorial of some sort, especially if it has a single-player component (will it?). But yeah, you get used to it.

If you have any questions, just ask :)
