In some ways, I am pleased that we do not have to wait another two years for the next volume in this series, but I am not sure how I feel about this game.  It feels sort of like Bioshock 2 did for me, and I am not just complaining about a sequel to a stellar game.  Far from it, since the 2nd entry into this series was stellar.  It improved in every way possible to become the easy favorite between the two.  What I am not sure I want is a class-based multiplayer game in this genre of game.  I am not sure how it is going to work when so much of this game is the solitary experience you have in traversing around the cities undetected.  If it is confirmed that it is Ubisoft Montreal doing this, many of my fears will be for nothing.  I just have a feeling with the short turnaround that this is going to be passed to their Shanghai studios.
