SouthPeak and TimeGate have announced  that an update for Section 8 has been released to address player feedback from the first month of play.

Several issues have been fixed and many features have been changed to improve the multiplayer battles and make them even more rewarding, according to TimeGate.

The changes to Section 8 include:

• Tank controls have been tuned, making them more intuitive and responsive
• The improved automatch system offers enhanced responsiveness when searching for a server
• Bot AI has been improved. Bots will now follow and defend allies and will pursue retreating targets more aggressively
• An improved stat tracking framework

The update is available for the Xbox 360 and the PC, check the official site for the full patch notes.

Earlier this month during an earnings call, SouthPeak hinted that DLC would become available for Section 8 before Christmas, extending the life of the game through Christmas. Stay tuned for more news on that, and in the meantime check out our Section 8 review.
