Question about AC Brotherhood beta.

I cant use the game forums so I'd appreciate any help you can give. Can you sword fight or use any other weapons or is it all just executions?

It's straight up exectutions.

there is no combat as such, you either kill your target, or you don't. There is no middle ground.

See you in the city my friend

I think it's great.

I am a big fan of the AC franchise, and i think this is the best way the multiplayer could have been.

Sword fights would be a silly idea IMHO, too long and the slightest bit of server lag would lead to a loss. No thanks.

However, i don't think real opinions of the MP can be made until the game hits next month and we get our hands on all the playable modes!

I've seen that you'll unlock a hidden gun after a while. So their will be variety in the methods of assassination. That's fine with me, that's just how I imagined this game since 2 years ago.

And I agree on the argument that the AC combat style wouldn't work out well in online multiplayer: Too slow, too precise. Everyone would just stand their waiting for their opponent to strike first and win with a counter attack. Which would fail in many cases because of lag. Doesn't sound nice.

Oh come now dude, Im an AC fan as well but you need to really think about it. Having different kinds of weapons is a great idea, otherwise people WILL get bored of it and it will definately die (Im not saying I will stop playing it cause of this Im just saying I wish I had it, and most gamers nowadays get bored VERY fast if they dont have a little variety).ryuz4kee

The thing is.... You do die alot.

But you kill alot too.

It aint COD, the game isn't about your KDR. It's about stealth and tension.

I have had games where all the way through i am checking behind me, and the adrenaine was pumping full stream as the tension built all the waythrough the round.

I don't think quick time minigames are the way to go in MP. the slightest bit of rubberbanding and lag and the game is ruined.

Actually some QTE swordfights would be AWESOME, (like Heavy Rain, those ARE called QTE's right?)ryuz4kee

Yes they are called QTE (quick time event) and actually it could work with the game thinking about it xD

Anyway, are the modes already known? I guess there's more than just this execution mode (which I don't really like TBH)

I haven't played the Beta, because I'm more of a SP person.

i love the beta actually its really diffrent its pretty simple untill you level up, one thing i will say is there needs to be a bit more variety in the people. it would be awesome if you could sword fight and shoot... and im aware of the secret gun also

The biggest issue with the beta right now is the fact that running around like an idiot is the best way to get the most points in a round still so all of the stealth and tension is right out the window. Being slow and deliberate just leads to someone running up behind you and killing you. There is an extremely long discussion of possible solutions to this in the AC:B forums. Things like changing how the compass works to changing the points levels. Should be interesting. I love the idea of stealth gameplay where you are the hunter and prey at the same time, just needs some tweaking until they get it right in my opinion. The_Rick_14

I have pretty much stopped playing the beta because of this.

It has really pissed me off how the people playing have progressivley aimed for lots of 100 point kills by simply running around instead of working for it.

It does need changing. Otherwise the online for AC is going to be ruined.
