Section 8.... or whatever...

Ok so... recently "Timegate Studios" released their new project titled "Section 8". The teaser for the game was very nice... And after watching it i thought that the game would be nice, considering I love sci-fi and first person shooters and this was sci-fi fps... The game looked like Halo 3: ODST mixed with Crysis or something... Later they released a video in which they asked developers questions about the game and one of the developers said that it will be a mixture of Halo and Crysis, which will be something amazing.... At that point I was very happy about this game, but then the Beta came and OMG it was horrible... After few weeks the real deal arrived and here is where the shit starts !
The game was designed for Multiplayer mostly but like many games out there it has Singleplayer Campaign... Now, I havent played this game's MP but I sure had enough of its horrible SP.... And from it I can tell that the MP is not much better... Ye I know, I should not judge MP based on SP experience, but it looks like this game is an exception form the rules..
Lets get started...
The maps in the game are identical and uninteresting to play... Missions are identical as well... All you do is go to a checkpoint and kill everyone there, then to another checkpoint, then to another and so on, now there are different missions like "protect the convoy" but thats basically the same shit...
AI are not very smart as all they do is stand and wait for you to come... When they see you they start jumping and shooting at you or your buddies, and there is no tactic involved at all...
Going further, the AI in SP dont appear to be interacting with the environment (scenery) at all...
Now you thought that vehicle controls in Halo 2 were bad ? Wait till you see what they are in this game... Graphics are not that bad, but could have been better... Weapons are kinda unbalanced... It takes 3 hits from a rocket launcher to kill your enemy and only half of clip from a pulse rifle or whatever that gun is called... Now the tank gun is another fun part as it looks like that gun shoots fire turds or something... Where have you seen that it takes 2 direct hits from the tank's main cannon to kill a regular soldier ??? How silly is that, i mean really...
Aside from all that crap you cant pick up weapons and ammo, instead you have to go to this ammo-weapons-health-container device that your allies drop to you from the nearest spaceship once the battle is over.... How logical is that...

Now this game could have been good, and the MP is probably better than SP, considering that you play with real ppl, but I dont think that its gonna be any good considering that the gameplay itself is shit...

Cheers !
