They were in Brotherhood, too
I really, really hope they do a better job porting Rev to mouse and keyboard. It's fine generally but only 4 hotkeys drives me mad. No reason not to have an instant use/select hotkey for smoke bombs and the crossbow at least.
1 - Combat is a lot smoother. Not quite Arkham City level smooth, but still smooth.
2 - The controls feel slightly off. Not sure if my controller is shit or if that's just how it's being done.
3 - The story thus far is lame as hell, but I'm just at Sequence 4.
And now, some questions: is anyone else having trouble getting money every twenty minutes like the should? And how many armor tiers are there, still four?

Maybe it's just me coming off of the high of SR3, but this is kind of bland. Hope it picks up in the second half.

I know, but for the most part they were kinda just thrown in there. Here, they're tied to specific events that I'm not going to spoil.
as a side note, i've been going for the 'loot 50 dead guards' achievement. i feel i've looted a billion guards by now. what gives? i wish these games had checklist/reminders like gears and halo so i could keep track.

That achievement is poorly worded. If you consult the challenges and look at the thief challenges, you'll see set two unlocks a faction ability. It's this ability you have to use 50 times.
Also, I know you were discussing it earlier, but that mission in sequence 4 is the comedic high point for the whole series.
I just finished sequence 3 and I am getting 35k every 20 minutes. I could have dicked around longer with the Mediterranean Defense thing too since I finally figured out what the fuck you assign assassin's to cities for.
Protip: When you select a mission on a city and are selecting an assassin to assign to said mission, if you hit X (or whatever it is on the PS3) you will switch to the assassin's assigned to that city and you can send them on those missions freeing up your unassigned assassins to do other, more important things...like taking other cities. This drastically changes the way I go about this stuff.
I do have a question, if anyone else has figured it out...what happens if you assign one of your master assassins to a city? Do they become unlinked from their den allowing you to master another assassin? I'm really trying to figure out if it is possible to have more than 7 master assassins ever. I'm kinda mixed on it. While it would be nice for various reasons, the sheer amount of time it'd take to level that many masters to fill all the cities is...zomg. On the other hand, even with 5 level 10's in a city, they're not enough to do some of the hardest missions 100% by themselves. But I suppose you can still assign other assassins along with them.

Templar Vision perhaps? Hard to say really without video reference, which is almost impossible for most people. A replay mode would be a great idea to help people improve.

Right now I'm filling out my ranks and throwing them into the cities, debating if I should post them at rank 9 or 10.
Which brings me to my next complaint. Where are the all the side missions? No beat up ems, courier runs, races, hidden symbols, faction quests.........It feels much much smaller than AC2 and AssBro.
Just take all the dens. I've had my notoriety full for hours, nothing ever happens. Dunno if it's a bug or intended, but I'll never beat the "3 Den Defense" challenge if no one is going to contest them.
You can get it by replaying Sequence 2 Memory 6 as many times as you need.
Completely missed this. I leveled assassins up, sent them to cities and let them sit there. Doh!
I don't think there's a way to get more than 7 master assassins, they keep getting more xp, but no levels.

Climb this really tall tower and use Eagle Sense
The Hidden Tombs aren't bad, though, I liked them.

At least, for me it was. Around there was where the story picked it self up a lot faster than the rest of the game.

AC1 was okay. Acre, Damascus, Masyaf, and Jerusalem all looked much different from each other and each had a distinct flavor, but their districts all looked alike.
AC2 was great about having unique cities. Florence, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Forli, Venice, and even Rome, all much different from each other. And cities like Forli had lots of countryside around them, for even more variety. But like in AC1, districts are all pretty much identical. Unlocking new districts in Florence and Venice isn't particularly exciting when you can't tell them apart.
ACB did have some variety, from the sprawling city, to the countryside, to the various ruins. But since it all took place in one map, the areas felt like they blended together too much. I'd have preferred more globetrotting. I did greatly enjoy the few missions that took place outside Rome, like in the DaVinci missions and DLC.
Cappadocia in Revelations was a pleasant change-of-pace, but the city was small and underutilized. The bulk of the game took place in Constantinople, which became boring too quickly. It can't be due to a lack of manpower that we're stuck in one city the whole time, as all of the multiplayer maps are so unique and creative. Or the town/countryside from DNA sequence 8. If you're going to go through the effort of modeling all of that for some on-rails segment, why not make it an actual place to explore? I would have loved to run around there. Heck, why not kill two birds with one stone, and have short missions that take place in cities from the multiplayer maps? Mont St Michel would be fun to explore in single player.
The tower defense stuff was enjoyable, but not great. As someone else said, if you're going to make 'okay' tower defense when there are much better options out there, why make it at all?
I loved the Master Assassin missions. It's so much fun to work with another assassin. The lute mission was great too. Altair missions were short but sweet. I wish they were longer. I also wish Desmond's story progressed a bit more. Exploring Montereggioni and the Colosseum in Brotherhood were amazing.
I like the modification to the control system, where primary weapons are 'X' and secondary weapons as 'Y'. The hookblade and bombs are fun to use. The only change I don't like is that kill streaks seem to be much harder to pull off now than in Brotherhood, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Desmond sequences were bizarre, but I loved them. Having played through all of them, I with there were a few more like sequence 5, which was more than just arbitrary blocks everywhere.
As someone else said, there seems to be much less to do than in previous games. No thief, gypsy, or mercenary missions. No subject 16 symbols. No races. No horses. No gondolas. No DaVinci-weapon-like missions (aside from the carriage segment in DNA sequence 8). Combine that with the isotropic look of Constantinople, and the single player gets boring quickly.
I like how multiplayer sort of has its own story going on, with pictures, text, and video unlocked as you progress. I love the overall changes to multiplayer as well, from gameplay to interface. The new gametypes are a lot of fun.
That said, multiplayer feels lacking in other ways. I'm glad to see some Brotherhood maps return (especially Mont St Michel), but only five new maps, and only nine maps total? I'm not too keen on all of the new characters, either, especially the new DLC characters. They all look generic and brown. I'd love to see a few more Brotherhood characters join the Courtesan.
Finally, any chance Americans can get their hands on the Asassin's Creed Encyclopedia without having to pay ridiculous shipping prices?

Suggestion, Dover: If you put a marker on your map, have that marker show up on the Sewer Map.
