Controlling the Assassins[]

Now that Ezio is a master assassin he is in control of the assassin order during the Renaissance; similar to Al Mualim in the first game. During the game you will have the option to send assassins to certain areas in the world to complete tasks. You will have the ability to send a group to different countries like Spain, Germany, or England in order to complete an assassination. You can have the ability to train young assassins and have them do jobs for you. Not all assassinations will go according to plan, especially with the younger assassins. Depending on the assassins you choose for each mission and their success or failure, an assassin can be called when he is needed in more assassinations and help out Ezio firsthand, or be unable to participate in future assassinations. Based on the assassination outcome, the gameplay could change.


Multiplayer Overview[]

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the first Assassin's Creed game to feature a multiplayer mode. The players are Templars in training at the Abstergo facility. They use the animi (plural for animus) to access memories of highly skilled Assassins and then train by stalking and killing one another. If the game is pre-ordered at GameStop, an extra character called "the Harlequin"(the clown/joker) will be available to play as. One of the multiplayer game modes has been announced in the July edition of Playstation magazine. This mode is called "Wanted". Six to eight players are dropped on a map, not too small, not too big, where they stalk and kill each other. Each player is given a target, who is another player. Your goal is to find and kill your target without being seen or killed by your own predator. If you break cover, your target sees you and will run away, starting a chase sequence. They will try to hide from you, you have to catch them and kill them. Aside from the characters and the "Wanted" game mode, a few more specifics have been revealed: eight characters have been confirmed (Courtesan, Hunter, Barber, Priest, Banker, Executioner, Doctor and Merchant) and two special characters, the "Harlequin" available with a pre-order at GameStop, and the "Officer", available with a pre-order at Best Buy. It is confirmed that the multiplayer experience can be accessed through Xbox Live, Playstation Network and also on the PC. The multiplayer beta will be exclusively for PlayStation 3.

The unique multiplayer mode was heralded by many at E3 2010 where it was showcased. It even received recognition from GameTrailers when they awarded it the Best Multiplayer Game of the show.

Physics and Effects[]

Ubisoft has stated that the graphics will be improved upon, as well as several physics in the game. Ragdolls will fall much more realistically due to the new, edited Havok engine. In the other games, ragdolls sometimes would convulse when hitting the floor after being thrown off a building. In Assassin’s Creed II, Some PC players have stated that ragdolls such as the "Borgia Messenger" are more likely to fall unrealistically, due to their capes that 'clip' through their bodies. In some instances, ragdolls would have fallen with their arms clipping through their backs and legs. These certain instances mostly happen if Ezio picks up a body and throws it back on the ground, although it could happen anytime.
