Achieve360Points.com (http://www.achieve360points.com) has added a new interview with The Outfit producer Adrian Crook (http://www.achieve360points.com/interviews.php?x=7) to coincide with the game's release. There's some pretty good information in there about the game and the achievements.

Generally we wanted all the single player achievements to be secret. In the game, you encounter them somewhat by accident. For example, you'll shoot a search light in one level, and the "Medal Opportunity" popup will appear. Now if you can destroy them all, you'll earn the achievement. So we didn't want to spell everything out beforehand - the medals are earned for going beyond your stated mission, and it's up to you to show that initiative
The integration of knowing you're on to something sounds interesting...

I hung out with a bunch of my buddies on Saturday for a gaming day. We did quite a bit of Xbox360 Split screen on a Samsung HDTV.

There were 4 couples there, and 3 of the guy halves of the couples worked on The Outfit. It was amazing to watch them play. This game is no third person squad based shooter. They were dropping emplacements everywhere, blowing the hell out of everything, and using some pretty cool tricks. It's too bad they didn't ship the Demo with the First Single Player mission.

If you understand that it's really a RTS game played from the ground, it immediately becomes a lot more fun, I may have to pick it up.
