This is one of the most underplayed, disrespected games out there. Amazing gameplay, good campaign (Reasonably generic, but introduces you well to the concept of the game) and well... YOU SPAWN IN FROM ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ORBIT. I've clocked everything on this game and I'm in the top one hundred in the world, but that not saying much because only about 26000 people sit on the leaderboard, and no one plays anymore. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great game... just wish people would play again to revive the multiplayer.

I'll be honest. The multiplayer is dead unless you find a dedicated clan or group. But other than that, this is a really amazing sequel (read: amazing sequel) that not only adds to the content, but also to the gameplay, and improves upon the rough edges that the origional Section 8 (which is btw also very amazing) had.

First, the content. You will notice quickly that alongside your standard weapons, you have modules that improve certain aspects of your armor suit. Want to be able to absorb large amounts of damage and dish out even more? You can improve the damage per shot that your weapons do, as well as improve your shields an armor to more than double your standard infantryman has. Want to be that classic sniper? You can do that too. You can make a custom loadout for almost any situation. Anti-infantry, anti-armor, anti-turret, and so on. I only wish that you had a way of attacking enemies that are "burning in" so to speak.

The gameplay is astounding. Section 8 asked the question, "What is players could spawn anywhere on the battlefield?" They answered that question by letting you "burn in" from your dropship onto any point on the battlefield. However, the enemy can deploy stationary AA guns that only serve to shoot you out of the sky (and they do that very well, I can tell you that). You also use this burning in tactically, by striking directly into the enemy base or (I kid you not) right on top of an enemy soldier.

Now, the origional Section 8 had some balancing issues, such as a Machine Gun being more effective than an Assault Rifle at everything except accuracy past 50m. Now, in Prejudice, the Assault Rifle reigns supreme at quick skirmishes between soldiers, while the MG has been altered to a much more supportive and long-lasting state.

Since the maps are fairly large, every soldier has the ability to "overdrive" which lets them run like there's a grizzly on their ass. You can use this overdrive ability tactically too, by ramming into enemy soldiers or using the extra speed to make your jetpack that much more effective.

Another interesting thing Section 8 does is let soldiers call down deployables such as MG guns, RPG launchers, scanners, and more, which allow a group of soldiers to make a small outpost complete with defenses, scanners, AA turrets, and of course depots that repair them all. Trust me, it's not fun to have rockets and bullets raining down on you with no end (until you die).

Haha wow I just realized how much I had rambled on XD
So I guess in short,
This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing, and very underrated. Buy this. Get your friends to buy it. Revive the multiplayer.

Edit: part of this review was made irrelevant by Steam's updated refund policy.

DLC will no longer download, I assume due to Timegate no longer existing. Online play is also obviously non-functional. Given Steam's no-refund policy, I think it only fair to include a disclaimer detailing these issues on the game's page in the store.

This is a great game!! I enjoy every aspect of the multiplayer and single player modes. One issue with this game though..

DO NOT BUY THE DLC!!!!!!!

IT DOES NOT WORK

The game requires a windows software to authorise it, but microsoft no longer supports the game, so the DLC will not be able to be used at all. I figured all of this out the hard way.

A great multiplayer FPS that nobody has ever heard of. It did jetpacks and mechs well before TItanfall.

You ever buy a game that you wish you played more or even grabbed on release?
This is one of them I grabbed this too late & regret it I got it & played it as players were leaving it.
I had alot of fun with this game was great but no doubt with GFWL shutting down this game will never be reborn.
I`ll recommend this as a great game but it`s prob best never to buy it with GFWL shutting down.

Used to play it on Xbox 360 and I loved it
There is no community at all, not even a tiny one. There are no multiplayer servers, so bots and campaign is all you have and the multiplayer is probably the best part
The game it self is different to other games
Gameplay is quite nice with every gun balanced for every player
Everything you do gives you points which can be used to purchase turrets and vehicles and they assist you in the match
These points DO NOT cross over from match to match and there is no in game currenncy BTW

Overall it is a pretty good game but it desperately needs a community

EDIT: The developer closed last year.

R.I.P. - Section 8: Prejudice
~~~~~~July 1, 2014~~~~~~

PSA: GFWL is rumored to be going off-line in July of 2014. If this is the case and it's developers do not migrate the game to steamworks, major features may cease to function. Some games, like the Arkham series, have already been migrated. There are still many left, including this one. If a port happens then this review will be removed.

You can keep track of GFWL to steamworks ports at this wiki: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Big_List_of_3rd_Party_DRM_on_Steam#Games_for_Windows_Live

The single best FPS I have ever played.

Solves the issue of gameplay getting too stale via DCMs, Dynamic Combat Missions, which appear all over the maps and at different points in time, making each match different from every other.

Great graphics, great sound work, awesome gameplay mechanics, solid control scheme.

Oh, and did I mention that you spawn by dropping from high in the sky and plummeting directly to the ground, no parachute required? Best spawn mechanic EVER.

In short: best FPS ever. I curse GFWL every day for killing it.

The Section 8 series is in my opinion one of the most criminally underated in gaming. I literally never hear anyone ever talk about it and both Section 8: Prejudice and its predacesor Section 8 are great games especially when it comes to multiplayer, though good luck finding any matches. That said I would recommend this game just for its gameplay and unique mechanics.
