    The only thing I don't like in assbro is how poison just makes guards keel over instead of going into a berserker rage like on asscreed II

    It was so fun to walk up to a cluster of guards, surreptitiously poison half of them, ANC then let 'em kill each other

    I never bothered with poison when I could just hidden blade them instead

    Ugh a stealth mission with no civilians around. I'm trying to figure out how to do the first "destroy Leonardo's war machines" mission...

    I was doing some counter kills a minute ago, and when I did the thing where you stab one guy and immediately shoot another, only the guy that Ezio chose to shoot was an innocent by stander. I robbed him and dumped his body in the river, so it's all good now.

    Man, Revelations looks more and more awesome. The hookblade looks neat-o However, the pre-order content thing is ridiculous.

    If I remember correctly you just need to stick to the roofs and the corners. They tend not to look up very often.

    Poison dart is one of the best ways to kill a group of guards if you are trying to full sync a non-detection mission.

    And it most definitely makes them go berserk in Assbro.

    I never got the poison dart my last play through. (I kinda rushed it)

    But I know it's fairly easy if you get the crossbow too.

    The crossbow makes things super easy for the most part

    Shoot a guard, and his buddy standing next to him sits there for a good 5 seconds looking at the arrow so you can plug him too

    There's a glitch I had to use.
    After blowing down the gate, go to the marker and when the tanks start coming, slowly back up. Get to where it says something like "Warning: Desynchronization is blah blah balh." Then just set there and shoot the tanks. They'll aim at you, but they'll never fire. Stills works, I did it about an hour ago.

    Regarding that mission
    Can the soldiers hurt the tank or is it only the cannons/barrels that do damage

    I don't think they can. They've shot me a bunch, but I don't think they can actually damage you. They can shoot the barrels and hurt you, so make sure to destroy those.

    I hate those awkward moments when you're trying to climb a wall unnoticed, but accidentally leap off and land on a guard.

    If you press assassinate fast enough can't you?

    I haven't tried it, but I think it would be pretty cool to have guards chasing you, so you run up a wall only to jump off and air assassinate the closest one.

    As far as I know you can only air assassinate when standing higher than your target, And to ground assassinate you have to be standing next to him without him noticing you.

    So naw I don't think you can.

    I was just thinking of like, Mario Creed, or something.

    If you have the camera facing the guard, you can pretty much assassinate them from anywhere. I was just hanging onto a ledge and my target walked under me, and it let me just fall on him and assassinate.

    I think I found a bug or a glitch or something. After several tries, I finally killed the one Tower Captain before he could flee. I climbed the tower, and there was no burn it down option. The guy is definitely dead, and the icon on the tower changed to the "burn it now" icon, but I don't have prompt when I get to the top.

    Unless there's some perk that blocks it, so far poison seems like the biggest bitch ability in multiplayer.

    So it seems like you get way more points for playing aggressively, like using stuns, as the hunted team in Manhunt, rather than being stealthy.

    I'm being all blendy in crowds and using disguises and didn't get spotted once, while another guy on my team has 4x the points, using smoke bombs and charge to stun them all in plain sight.

    It's tricky

    it's absolutely an important part of a good strategy, but against a good team it can be really hard to play offensively on defense.

    ass creed 2 needed an option to skip the beginning section of the game.

    Because it is slow as hell.

    I liked the beginning. The only thing that was weird to me was immediately you can do parkour. Like climbing buildings is just what the youth did in Venice.
