More Free Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood DLC Hitting In Jan.

Just when you thought they'd start charging, they pull you back in with free stuff.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's first bit of multi-platform DLC, "Animus Project Update 1.0," is available today for the price of zero dollars. Later in January, you'll be able to get this DLC's predictable follow-up, "Animus Project Update 2.0," for the very same price of nothing. Can't argue with that, right?

Just like previous DLC, Update 2.0 will add a new map and game mode. The map is called "Pienza Map," a "perfect free-running playground" according to creator Ubisoft. The fresh mode is a twist on Capture the Flag called "Chest Capture," which will feature two three-man teams capturing and defending chests.

Update 2.0 will also include a "new Templar Score feature" that Ubisoft says will "reward diligent work by Abstergo recruits." I don't what that means, but hey, whatever!
 
Oh, and In celebration of Update 1.0's release, Ubisoft has released a trailer of the content. Check it out just below if you need to see "Advanced Alliance Mode" in action before you risk losing no money at all by downloading it and giving it a spin on either the Xbox 360 or PS3

Are we playing the same game? How is there no story? I mean, even the multiplayer has an explanation for why it exists. "
A 5 minute video that gives a reasoning for how the multiplayer fits into the fiction is not the same as a story with characters and progression

I'm not sure what you were expecting. I mean... what? What were you expecting? Did someone tell you the multi in this game had a vast, illuminating tale about Good vs Evil, and why evil must be stabbed secretly?

Not much, I wasn't expecting anything. I'm saying that a game without a story or progression kinda ruins it. That is why I don't like multiplayer games that much or play online, no story, no dice.

I would be all over this if I could get into a game within 10 minutes of hitting "Quick Play".  That's probably why these are free

My take on the latest patch for AssBro: "Searching for a program session" "Searching for other Abstergo Agents"  Good to see they fixed that matchmaking!

@Dany: They kind of lay out the reasons to support the multiplayer in it's fiction.What else you want?It's multiplayer if you want story go play single.A game doesn't always need story to be fun.I love story in my games but it doesn't have to be mandatory all the time.Some games just give you a basic plot just so you can get to doing crazy shit ex:Just Cause 2.
