     My God they need to patch the damn game. It takes way to long to find other agents. Takes a few minutes to find games. It is actually turning me off from the multiplayer. Anyone else feel the same? Any news on them fixing this?

    Yep, the matchmaking is broken. That thing needs to be fixed.

    yeah, i noticed i seem to be searching for games more then i'm playing them. While we're on the subject of patches though, i wouldn't mind seeing a few updates to the core gameplay. Mainly just come up with something that prevent the daisy chain of murder.  I'd suggest making the stun pop up as a quick time event if your pursuer tries to kill you while you're still in your "killing a dude" animation. It should be an affective counter move for a short time, after you make your kill, to prevent the chain of death..

    Hmm. I actually like the chain death gameplay hah. I think it's fun but I see where you are coming from. I don't even think that will be changed though. Only thing that I have seen that needs to be changed is the fact that I will be running away from some one and they will jump on me and kill me from 100 or more yards away but when I am chasing someone I have to be close up to jump on them to kill. I don't know if that is just lag or what but it is annoying.

    @noeyjerd: YES TRUE. Went to a friends place and played it for a couple hours. That was the only complaint I had for it.

    The chain of deaths come from watching your target too much.  Spend some time trying to figure out who your pursuer is.  If you watch the scores, the top 2 or 3 people of each match will get stuns.  This is because they also watch their pursuers.  You get points from a stun, and prevent someone from accruing points.  Definitely effective.

    I found the beta had this issue pretty badly, but it's been fine for me since the official release (here in Ontario). I heard a patch is forthcoming. I'm sure it will be out before the free DLC mid-December.

    There is no such thing as a ready button. Either you're ready to go or get kicked.

    " i have a question. is the multiplayer in brotherhood just that one mode? where youre walking around trying to find the guy youer supposed to kill while escaping the guy whose supposed to kill you? seems like it would get boring fast.. "
    There is a team mode as well, where one team tries to hide and the other team tries to assassinate them. There might be some more but iunno.

    @Tarsier: There are some additional team based modes that play on the same concept.  Manhunt, for example, has two rounds.  In the first round, Team A is hunting down Team B.  In the second round, the tables are turned, and now Team A must hide from Team B.

    All I have to say about brotherhood multi is fuck people who stay on the roofs, you get no points for killing them and the smoke bomb you as soon as they see you closing in. I hate those people.

    played 1 hour and 30 mins last of AC:B multiplayer.
    20 mins of it was the actual game. Rest was spent on waiting for matches to begin, even had all the players required most of the time.

    If you are hearing the whispersand you want to avoid the risk of being killed you can throw a smoke bomb before the assassination, (this of course will call attention to you) or if you are 29 or higher use poison. It doesn't have an animation, you can just keep walking.

    @noeyjerd: If you go for a rematch after the round is over, you can usually get it in under a minute. Of course that requires you to actually get into a game once, so it's kind of a paradox. 
    And I agree with you about the death chains, I don't think it's that big a problem. I think it's one of those things that people hear about and talk about so much, that it makes it seem bigger. Or maybe I'm just lucky and haven't gotten into too many of them.

    Getting ranked matched with a 50 when you're 12 is absolutely no fun. This is one game where all those abilities and perks totally matter and put you on another level with an advantage way over underlevelled people.

    I've literally had the patience to wait for one match to start so far... enjoying the single player, though!

    This. :/ I'm loving what I've played so far but I just started and I'm level... I dunno, 4 or something. Getting matched with level 45-50s and have them DOMINATE the match is far from being enjoyable.

    I agree about the matchmaking, it takes way too fucking long.  I dunno about the ability balancing; I never really use abilities when I play.

    I haven't been able to find a game since day 1. I even left it searching for 20 minutes once. It just hung on the player total loading screen.

    Is Ubisoft going to patch it or will they just leave it like this?
