Summary

The Outfit is an explosive third-person WWII title combining intense squad-based combat with the the freedom of total destruction to capture the intensity of war. It's also a significant technical development on previous action/shooter games with a number of new, never-before-seen features sure to whet the appetite of any war-gaming aficionado.

As you progress through the game and complete mission objectives, you earn field units (FUs) that can be used on the fly to call-in 'Destruction on Demand' – this is heavy weaponry air-dropped into the action at any time, including tanks, jeeps, half-tracks and other combat vehicles through to machine gun nests, anti-tank emplacements, squad reinforcements, air strikes and artillery strikes on enemy targets.

The Outfit features fully interactive and fully destructible environments, which gives you the freedom to shoot, blow up or demolish anything in the game. This baby lets you vent some serious pent-up anger! You can destroy buildings, bridges, walls and fences - everything can be levelled in your battle against the Nazi forces.

The three fully playable squad leaders you can choose between each possess specific skills and abilities (i.e. close-combat specialist, heavy-arms specialist or anti-tank specialist.) Playing as one of these, you will lead a squad of battle-forged soldiers on a variety of combat missions - ranging from reconnaissance and rescue to search and destroy.

With automated squad AI, your squad will act like a highly trained infantry unit that responds to actions as well as dynamic battlefield situations - laying down suppressing or covering fire, taking cover or rushing enemy positions.

You can experience the ‘cinematic intensity’ of WWII combat through 12 epic single-player missions or online with Xbox Live for a variety of multiplayer modes, including co-op.
