Section 8: Prejudice, heir to the 2009 prequel, has been doing some very unorthodox things, from its launch trailers, to its pricing. With the PC launch tomorrow (And if you hurry, you can still get it for $13.50 - it's the 14th best-selling game on Steam right now), they've announced not only the first addon game mode besides its built-in two, Conquest and Swarm - they've announced that the community decides when it will be unlocked.
I know I'll be putting in my fair share! And of course, look for a review of the full PC version of the game very soon.
UPDATE: (10:05 PM Eastern) This game mode will be free for all users.
Now seems like a good time to make the year's biggest and best $15 shooter even bigger and better. After an incredibly successful launch on Xbox Live Arcade that exceeded the company's expectations, and shortly ahead of the game's May 4 debut on PC, TimeGate Studios is enlisting the aid of gamers around the world to unlock the frenetic, team-based Assault game mode. A kill counter has been launched at http://warisprejudice.com; when the counter reaches 10 million kills - that's online, in-game kills - TimeGate will unlock the new mode for both XBLA and PC versions of the acclaimed downloadable shooter.
"We've been absolutely blown away by the response to Section 8: Prejudice, and we're very thankful to everyone who picked up the game," said Adel Chaveleh, CEO of TimeGate Studios. "But we're not done yet! When we announced Prejudice, we said we were committed to long-term support of the game, and this is just the beginning. Assault is a really fun, fast-paced game mode, and we can't wait to get it into players' hands. Given the success of the XBLA launch, we thought this would be a great chance to get the community involved and give everyone a chance to unlock Assault early!"
