On Section 8 Prejudice

Sec 8 is a $15 dlc game. I personally purchased it for PC, as I am primarily a PC gamer. Sec 8 is primarily a multiplayer game although it does have a single-player campaign. The campaign is quite terrible with bad voice acting, bad story, and stupid bots. The AI in this game is not exactly the best. At first me and a friend of mine started a game and went against bots to understand the controls. I put the bots on normal and we decimated them, so we bumped the difficulty to the hardest setting and still we decimated them. Multiplayer is something to behold, however. It brings me back to days of the original Halo, prancing about in huge levels searching for your 3 other buddies, only this time there can be up to 60+ players and objective based gameplay. Objective based games mean that you aren't just running around aimlessly shooting one another, but actually have different goals that can allow individual player's skills to shine, while improving overall teamwork. There are too many games today where the highest ranked player shines instead of the team as a whole and this game takes one tiny step in the right direction.
