Hidden blade FTW, nothing beats it. I used the poison blade only when I needed a laugh. Daggers are sick, liked using them more than the long swords. Sword of Altair was handy though.
The pistol was kinda useless since I only used it 3 times, only because I was required to use it for 3 missions. Loved using nothing but my hands to deal with the archers. Just grab, throw and off the roof / into the water he goes. Throwing knives weren't as effective on them as they were in AC1, kept having to throw 2 at each one. Love the smoke bombs too.
For the comic book thingy there are going to feature a Russian assassin. Since then I've been thinking that an Imperial Russia setting would be pretty cool.
I wasn't too sure about this either at first but after seeing what Brotherhood has to offer I so cant wait to get it.
I never thought a multiplayer system could actually work with AC but Ubisoft sure have pulled it off so I'm impressed. One of things I love about these people is how they improve with each game and add in neat new features, it shows that they care about us fans. Since Rome's gonna be 3 times bigger than Florence (or is it Venice?) more in-city horse game play sounds sweet. Shooting them damn archers with my own crossbow will be great, and he can even throw axes now! But I think Ezio will be dealing less with guards since he's got his group of assassins to care of them for him. Combat finally looks a lot better. Hope there's more new cool stuff to do along with being able to shoot cannons.
Plenty to look forward to! I also heard that now we can finally replay memories, like without having to start a new game. Awesome.
^^ I agree with you both. Having to follow someone seemed like a mission you would have to do in the 1st game, not in this one. They seriously need to get rid of the beggars that really ruins it. I repeatedly failed race/chase missions for the same reason. It's not even funny, I kept swearing at my TV screen.
This topic is obviously for people who have completed the game :)
So, which mission was your favourite? Least favourite? And hardest? I basically loved the entire game play in Venice. I enjoyed the carnival ones and the ones with Antonio. Playing the game for a 2nd and 3rd time I found that I liked being in Florence too as young Ezio. It was awesome running along that bridge in Rome killing every guard I came across.
But the actual fight with Rodrigo was disappointing, the final fight in AC1 was a lot better. So that part was my least favourite. For some reason I didn’t like playing in Tuscany that much. Going into the tomb, I hated it and never went back into another tomb again. I didn't like having to collect all the codex pages, which brings me to my hardest task: the codex page puzzle haha!

^^ This is why I refuse to call brotherhood AC3, its definitely AC 2.5 :p But aw man, no new AC game next year :( Something tells me Ubisoft have canceled their plan for a trilogy. And Desmond's not going to have a whole game dedicated to him anytime soon then. I already can't wait to see where they're gonna take this next! :D
^^ Yes, we know that. Brotherhood is not AC3, more like 2.5. It's all focused on Ezio so its like an extension of AC2. It will probably not take the actual story any further, AC3 will do that.
To start with I wasn't. I wanted AC3 instead. I wasn't expecting a lot from this since this isn't going to take the actual story any further. But boyy when I saw the 2 trailers AND the gameplay demo my jaw just dropped. I love Ubisoft for getting better and better with each game. This looks fantastic and now I'm so gonna get it! I don't care much for the multiplayer since that wasn't on my AC2 wish list anyways, I'm more interested in the single player content. But it doesn't look too bad.
And I did think Ezio was easy on the eyes in AC2. In this he looks mighty fine, which is a bonus ;)
