Section 8 Open Beta Begins
TimeGate Studios [http://www.joinsection8.com/region-select/], is now in full, free open beta across North America, Europe and Australia.
The beta test opened to North American gamers last month, although access was limited to users who were given keys in a staggered format. Now, with the game only a couple weeks away from launch, the beta has been opened to anyone from North America, Europe or Australia who has a GameSpy [http://www.fileplanet.com/] account.
The beta will give gamers "a first look at Section 8's online multiplayer mode with two of the maps from the final game, as well as a variety of some of the vehicles, weapons, deployables, missions, and equipment." Windows XP or Vista, a 3Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM (2GB for Vista) and an Nvidia 7800 or ATI X1800 video card will be required to run the game.
Powered by the hands-on preview [http://www.unrealtechnology.com/] last May, our own Keane Ng called Section 8 "a solid capture-point shooter that comes off as fairly rudimentary but packs in its fair share of nuances."
To get a copy of the beta, head to Xbox 360 [http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/section-8/].
