(I think this video is from AC2, but it's obligatory nonetheless)
So this game is insanely fun.
Single Player was brilliant and the multiplayer is genius. Anybody else play it yet?
If you haven't, you should definitely give it a try. The gameplay is free-roaming with some stealth elements and fun combat.
Multiplayer is basically a turing test. You have to outsmart your enemies by blending in with the AI to avoid being found, while finding your target who's also trying to blend in. Sometimes people are stupid and run around on rooftops. But if you do that, your kills will get barely any points. The game measures quality of kills more than quantity so running up to someone and killing them on a rooftop would be 100 while hiding in a crowd of lookalikes, waiting for one of your persuers to show up and kill a duplicate of you, and then slowly maneuvering your way to your target and killing them without being seen would be like 600. It averages out well.
