WW2 comics are cool.

I used to love those as a kid.

Gah, the outfit demo whinges about not running in PAL50, when I'm running it a 720p.

Weak sauce.

Anders posted a solution to the Pal 50 thing a few posts back. Not tried it yet myself.

You mean you don't? I love that sort of style.
I guess I don't think Nazis are very funny.

They don't have to be funny (except in the Allo Allo sense, yes) but the style is very cool. A stylised, industrialised gothic art-deco, sharp lines and gung-ho antics.

Flick the switch to tv on the component lead the the option will be there. If you havnt the official MS Componet lead just plug your original vga lead you got with the console.
Then reconnect your HDTV leads and all sorted

Yea I was going to try that but I didn't think it would actually do anything.

Done, downloaded and played.

How THE FUCK do you quit out of the demo?

There's a little graphic in the top-right corner, but it's so tiny (even on my 32" TV) that I can't work out what you have to do.

Something to do with the analog sticks, but I've tried loads of combinations of directions and pressing them 'in', but no joy.

To be honest I've found that finding the quit on a few demos to be a pain - so much so I normally press the Guide button then 'Y'. (Marked, go to Dashboard or sommit).

Here's what Major Nelson has to say about the game/demo:

I just finished playing â€˜The Outfitâ€™ multi-player demo. (You can download it for free from the Xbox Live marketplace.) I played it for a little over an hour, and I have to say I liked it.

I was initially put off by this game since it did not make sense to me. But here is how I can help it make sense for you;

First and foremostâ€¦this is is NOT a first (or third) person shooter.

Once you approach it with that mindset, and understand what the game is NOT, then you can start to understand what the game IS. This is a strategy game, with a little third person shooting when you need it.

While playing the MP mode, I was mowed over again and again since I was approaching this from FPS thought. Once I let that go, and started understanding that I need to lay down as many machine gun nests as fast as possible, and then start building my strategy to flank and control the basesâ€¦the game clicked for me.

Strategy is the keyâ€¦this is not a â€˜run-and-gunâ€™ game, this is a â€˜run and lay down as many guns as you canâ€™ game. I think itâ€™s important to point this out, since I know some folks may be downloading this game and thinking that it is another war shooter; this is not.

This will be a strange game for some, but sign into Xbox Live and play a few rounds with some people. Watch how they do it (wellâ€¦the players that are winning anywayâ€¦) and youâ€™ll start to learn that this is a very different game then youâ€™ve played on Xbox Live before.

I am not sure what the single player mode is like (since the demo is all about MP) but give the demo a try with an open mind, you may be pleasantly surprised.
