    Has anyone downloaded it yet and what do they think of it? Do you think it is better than the battle of Forli and does it have achievements/trophies?

    Overall it's better than Forli, but that's not saying much; more of the same free-roaming to get to a marker on your map, to activate a "mission" where you (surprise!) assassinate someone. The DLC description mentions a new gameplay move which only amounts to a camera angle of Ezio making a long jump. I accidentally snagged the version without the 3 new secret locations because it was the first thing I saw on the stupid dashboard marketing. Oh, and no achievements so don't worry about your S-Rank.

    It may sound stupid but this whole no trophies/achievements thing really bothers me, I may buy the packs someday but I doubt it

    Liked Battle of Forli and was anticipating this. As Forli left you at a clifthanger. Seen it on the 360 splash page and immediately buying it, not knowing there was a separate version with the secret locations.
     
    What are these secret locations anyways?

    @Flaminglizard: Same. Assassin's Creed II was a really stellar game, but I'm all sorts of burnt out on it.

    I'm conflicted with the whole "No achievements with DLC". The problem is that Assassins Creed 2 is a really easyS Rank, if achievements were put in place for these DLC, it wouldn't be that much of an issue. They would probably be as equally easy to obtain. 
     
    Regardless of achievements, The Battle of Forli was pretty disappointing. 
    If a one hour (barely) experience that was cut out of the game for little to no reason is Ubi's idea of DLC, then they can forget it.

    Has anyone been having problems with audio glitches, sound and voice over not playing when they should?

    Haven't bought it (don't really plan to), but it's hard to get too excited about the DLC when it's in the middle of a story which you already know the conclusion of. Like, is Ezio going to stop the Templars before it's too late?! Gee golly I sure hope so!
