Choose from three playable squad leader personalities – each with their own skills and abilities and lead two squads of battle-forged soldiers on missions ranging from reconnaissance and rescue to search and destroy. As you complete missions, you'll gain action points that can be used to upgrade your arsenal, acquire tanks and other vehicles, build machinegun nests and anti-tank emplacements or call for air or artillery strikes. Experience the cinematic intensity of WWII combat through 12 epic single-player missions or go online for a variety of multiplayer modes, including co-op.

Combining intense squad based combat with the freedom of total destruction - The Outfit takes players behind enemy lines to battle the Nazi War Machine.

In addition to an epic single player campaign - players will be able to battle it out via the game's multiplayer mode - choosing between a variety of Co-Op and Team-Based Multiplayer game types including Deathmatch, Destruction and Strategic Victory.

The Outfit multiplayer demo will provide the players of the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft with a great sample of the intense multiplayer experience (Strategic Victory) available in the final game - with up to 8 players battling to secure command points and strategic objectives throughout the map for their side.
