Assassin's Creed Multiplayer Xbox 360

So I don't see much going on here in the way of Xbox 360 multiplayer networking. I also don't see any threads for Assassin's Creed multiplayer so I expect this will get 0 replies and vanish into thread purgatory. Regardless, I will throw this one out there.

 

I tried a few matches of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer and it was fantastic. The basic concept is that there are 6 people in a fairly small area with a shitload of npc's. Each person picks from a limited number of avatars and each avatar is also used for the npc's that populate the area. Shortly after the match starts each person is assigned a target to assassinate so you will typically have a target while simultaneously being targeted by someone else and you are only able to kill your current target, the person targeting you, or an npc. If you kill your target, you get points, they respawn, and you are given a new target. If you kill an npc, you get no points and are given a new target. I think you also get points for killing the person targeting you but I've only played a little bit so I'm not sure.

 

So the way this plays out is that you try to act like an npc if you are being hunted to throw off your attacker while simultaneously trying to track down your target. There is a rudimentary compass that leads you to the area your target is in but you won't know exactly which person they are (unless there are no other npcs nearby that have their same skin, then you can be pretty sure it is them and kill the fuck out of them) unless they blow their cover by running, climbing, or doing other high profile/non-npc type things at which point it marks them and you chase them down. But it also informs them that their cover is blown so they will typically start running or try to counter you at that point. You can also hide in hay bales and strategically try to assassinate your target from your hiding spot if they walk close enough.

 

Long story short, it is fun and quite a unique multiplayer experience on xbox live. However, I think this would reach a whole new level of awesome with a full group of 6 thumbs on voice chat. I have Brotherhood and Revelations so I'm up for either game although I'd prefer to do some of Brotherhood's multiplayer first just because.
