Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the sequel to Assassins Creed II.  The multiplayer is available on the show floor, and I killed.

Groups of 8 people are put in an area of the game and assigned a target. You are given a direction in which you can find your target and must assassinate them.  However someone else is on your heels as well. This is what caused a slight problem for me at first, the match started and I wasn't sure what to do. Should I run and try to hide on the rooftops? Do I try to blend with the crowd? Don't RUN your assassin will catch you or your target might see you.

Then my target was in sight, I took the leap and victory was mine.  So I gained confidence and took to the roofs.  I would no longer be afraid, I was a hunter I stalked my prey and waited to strike with a mighty blow. I corner him, and his life is mine...then some jackass comes up and kills me as soon as my animation is over...
It's not as bad as Aliens vs Predators, the animation that comes when you assassinate someone is only about a second and if you are wise in your strike you'll have enough time to take back to the shadows, or hide in a crowd. The more you kill and the better you are, the more people get assigned you as their target. So the pressure is on and the difficulty increases exponentially.

There are several characters to choose from, and there will be more when the game is released.  Each one having special abilities from disguising, mirror image, guns, throwing knives, and many more. The game play was only a 5 minute match and I ended up 3rd, which I guess was okay for my first time playing AC in almost a year.  The game is looking pretty good and I will definitely play it when it comes out in November.

    So its a free for all assassin match? Sounds complicated.

    This multiplayer experience is probably my most anticipated of the year, at least they are trying something new that sounds awesome. Too bad most(if not all) of friends will be too busy playing Black Ops instead of giving this a try. Definitely excited nonetheless though.

    If any of you have actually played the game "assassins" in real life (Which is kinda like a mix between "tag" and "mafia") Where you have a big group that picks out a target and then the group moves around trying to get close enough to touch their target, therefore killing them, without getting touched by their killer. Apart from some slight differences in gameplay, like the inclusion of Protectors, max speed allowed, etc. this is the core idea and honestly was the first thing that popped into mind when I heard about Brotherhood's multiplayer. It should be fun.

    do you know what your target and your assassin looks like?

    but besides my question, seems like something i could play for hours and hours. AC2 really stepped it up, now i am just too excited for this game to be released. it should be total badass :D
    gotta say, this reminds me of that SpyParty thing-the whole concept of what you have to do and what you gotta avoid. except AC is putting it to a much more complicated way and in a way that feels real. ok, now i feel like im just spitting out random stuff (haha). anyways, cant wait for this game. :]
