SouthPeak and TimeGate have released a sneak peek at their sci-fi FPS, Tribes-like title, Section 8 on Xbox LIVE, more than a week before it hits stores on September 1st.

Gamers will have access to one of the maps in Multiplayer Mode with up to 16 other players or offline in Instant Action mode which offers competitive AI battles. While some deployables, vehicles, equipment and DCMs will be limited, players will get a taste of what it is like to burn-in from 15,000 ft, blast across the map in powered armor suits, and totally customize their load-outs as they go into the fray.

You can also check out our gameplay footage of the demo where I get hit in the face with a grenade below.
