Due to having to work early on New Year's Day and some other stuff, I was unable to enjoy copious amounts of alcohol. So, instead I enjoyed copious amounts of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood until the clock struck twelve. Basically 20 minutes into the new year I got the "Strong Closer" achievement. That was a great little moment to kick off 2011. It's one of those accomplishments you'll get if you keep playing, but imagined getting to level 40 something and still not having it.
 
I got it with a class I call "The Shootist" that includes the Hidden Gun and the Charge move. It's great for hanging out on rooftops and waiting for your mark to roll by. Aerial Kills are always preferable, but if you can still take a shot if you need it for a killstreak bonus (or other people are on your target). If your killer climbs up to your rooftop, you can wait until the last moment to use the charge and stun them for more points. There's not a whole lot of room to maneuver and no hiding places, so it's easy to target would-be assassins. I haven't had an issue yet where someone has whipped out a throwing knife or other device to stop me, although it's probably a matter of time. I try to mix it up with other classes if it seems too predictable but so far it works great.
 
It worked perfectly on Florence. I was 2nd place in the last ten seconds and charged one of my pursuers that climbed up onto a rooftop to win the game. It's not quite a party, but I'll take it.
 
Happy New Year, Everyone

Sounds like a grand time; I really need to play Brotherhood! I was in a similar situation (no partying because work in the morning) so I marathoned Darksiders into 2011.

I shake my fist so hard at your playstyle. It ruins my game! *shakes fist*
 
I  love melding in with crowds. I love pretending to walk by my target as I poison him, then merging in with a local shop. But you! See, the minute 1 roof-dweller steps into the game, everyone goes on the roof. And then I'm forced to go on the roof to catch you guys. It's social stealth, not rooftop Mario Bros--jumping on people's faces with pointy knives.

Ha nice one. Me and my boyfriend got that achievement within a game of each other whilst playing Alliance. Wasn't one I expected to get so soon. 
 
I actually removed hidden gun from all my 3 profiles. I can be patient at times with that game and it's only a matter of time until "massacre" happens on the rooftop and everyone is back down on the ground. Don't get me wrong though, at times I can get bored and just fly around all over the place. =P I'm looking forward to getting this charge ability you speak of. No longer will a smoke bomb and mashing B fail me! In all honesty, I just sprint the hell outta there when I see my pursuer sprinting towards me in that notorious "assassin" manner.
