A first person shooter by the makers of the Kohan series and the FEAR expansion packs. The title is an older term referring to the type of discharge from the U.S. Army given for mental instability. Main site HERE: www.joinsection8.com/ , also has PC Beta sign-ups for NA and EU, on the off chance that someone actually wants to sign up! Check out the trailer, too. From what I've seen, it's a basic shooter. It doesn't have any really "big" gimmick, other then maybe Burning In. Basically: you drop from a dropship (uh... yeah) 15000 feet up, by choosing a spawn point on the map. You're in control the whole jump, and can either bullet straight down (and take damage to shields) or hit airbrakes and control your fall. You CAN spawn into areas covered by AA, too... just don't expect to reach the ground. Or rather, you'll reach the ground: you just won't reach it in one piece. Anyways, here's some previews. If you're interested in a multiplayer online FPS, here's one. I don't think anyone other then me and (maybe) Chris play shooters, and I don't think he's played them that much. Speaking of which, where is Chris?

Is Chris alive?

Speaking of which, where is Chris? England He was alive as of March 12 at 7:01 PM (EDT). I have no sources as to what happened to him after that point in time.

Yar. Ok, well, that's good to know, I haven't seen him.
Anyone have any interest in this game at all? Anyone?

I read up until 'first person shooter' and then I lost all interest. Sorry white.

Tis okay. I don't expect many people to actually care about FPSs here. =(

Yeah, I'm more of an RPG/brawler/fighting/rhythm game person. With the occasional sports title thrown in.
Gives me an idea...

Was thinking more like Games That Nobody Else Played. Like Godhand, for example, I think I'm probably the only person on the Hideout that's played it.
Also, uh, Chris sighting on the Something Awful forums, at least I THINK it's him because there's nobody else that goes by ChrisAsmadi that I know of.

RPGs are fun. I'm more the simple RPG guy though... >_>
Morrowind<Oblivion, and I like Mass Effect (though I play that as a shooter XD)
Anyone going to get Dragon Age: Origins? Seems a bit more on the tactical side then most Bioware games.
