6 Things Assassin’s Creed 2 Must Have

By Administrator | Monday, March 3rd, 2008 at 10:49:GMT+5


Assassin's Creed

Assassin’s Creed, Ubisoft’s premier title was received with an array of responses that ranged from million grievances to a million praises. The bottom line that had everyone agreed on was that this was a rather solid start to an IP that needed to get better with sequels. Assassin’s Creed 2 is already in works, and is “rumored” to hit shelves in the spring of 2009. Montreal does need to make a lot of changes to make this game a unanimous AAA title.

Let’s try and outline some of the stuff that needs to changed or added to Assassin’s Creed 2 to make the experience a better one:

1. More weapons and armor: So you are an Assassin and hence need to be fast and light to carry yourself from one destination to another in quick succession, but it would be better if I could choose the kind of weapons for the assassinations. This would not only add a bit of flavor to the gameplay, which gets monotonous after a point and increases the definition of the “sandbox” within which the game is based in. The weapon system needs to be incentive based, which can be done with dealers spreading across the cities to sell their wares to your Assassin. Missions thus need to be based on a monetary system where you get rewarded with gold, which you can choose to spend on armor and weapons. Remember the Crossbow from the introduction of the game. It would be nice if developers could actually put the stuff they’ve promised and shown off in the game.

2. More stuff to do around the city: I got bored after the 4th assassination in the game because of the non interactivity of the entire city. The only reason I played through the game was purely out of my Spiderman 2 syndrome from the last generation. I never got bored of swinging in the game and I never got bored running around the cities here either. A good 80% of my playtime was spent on roof tops, which made the ground redundant most of the time. It would be applaudable if the developers could increase the amount of interactivity within the city apart from bumping into delinquents and saving citizens. Probably more targets to assassinate, different ways for gathering Intel for each assassination, more areas to explore to gather upgrades.

3. Reduce glitches: So I know this game has a futuristic twist, but the glitch problem is just audacious. The game froze thrice post an assassination which just made me switch off the console for good. Frequent bouts of irritation occurred when Altair could not recognize certain ledges that were present to grab hold on and he plummeted to death. I do expect a significantly non-glitchy game from the sequel.

4. Indoor environments: We’ve seen a lot of authentic historical outdoor environments been recreated in the game, but I would also like to see significant indoor environments present in the game as well, since it does seem a bit absurd that all assassinations take place outdoor. These guys could look up the Hitman series for some inspirational stuff to craft.

5. Combat and evasion: The combat in the game needs be diversified a bit. I found myself using the counter attack for most of the time for that was the quickest way of finishing off a foe and running off. Evasion techniques are the most horrid in the game. Granted the A.I is smart but it tends to get highly annoying post an assassination when your evasion level just refuses to go down even when you are far away from the sight for the guards.

6. Playing Robin Hood: This one is a bit off the mark but I felt that once the rich districts were unlocked it would be nice to siphon off some unaccounted gold from fat lazy merchants and give it to the poor and ailing people who inhabit the slum clusters in the city. The devs could link this up with a system of Assassin ranking or something which would make the game competitive and immersive.

    some of these are musts! but the thing that really annoyed me was the fact that every assination had the same run up…. fight a guy… steal from a guy… listen in on a convo! this was really really boring, it killed the game heavily! the only reason that i completed the game is because it was bigged up so much and i went and brought it straight away!!!
    you are deffo right about indoor environments. most of the game was spent outdoor and they did make it look good, but it would be so much better if there was more indoor environments. you should be able to climb through windows

  2. iceatcs

    All Assassin’s Creed 2 need is SUBTITLE cos I can’t feaking hear the voice from first one.

  3. Tony

    That’s a great least but one other thing it needs is co-op or any multiplayer, I mean it would be awesome to have assassins team up for a kill, or a multiplayer contest with one of the cities populated with x amount of targets and you have to see who gets the most.

  4. fiveofdiamonds

    For an assassination game there were strangley few assassinations and the ones that eventually occured were mindnumbingly boring. U can choose how to assassinate your target was plain BS. I could choose from where I would approach the inevidible fight but that was about it. It whould be awesome to be able to wait untill nightfall and climb through the targets window. Also the A.I. needs one he** of a makeover. Tenchu soldiers can run laps around these morons.

  5. alex

    i like it

  6. LrdMidknight

    How about a little more “Mature” for a “M” rated game, I’m saying, I wanna go black night Monty Python on some of these gaurd, I am bored of just running around and killing Jesus! No really though, it would be a lot more rewarding to beable to cut some heads and limbs off, and body fractures!

  7. CaffeineCZE

    Hallo
    i schould like in second or next tales:
    -singl player next story
    -singel cooperative (online) 2-4 players,
    -multiplayer with real mens (swords, archers, horseriders) for 16 players max, maybe team color resolution
    -mods: headquarters (in story, take prisoner from tower) maybe
    -no magic, only cutting weapon, ropes, traps, arrows (real weapons by that time)

    i know, my english is terrible
    just, its my wish, my mind
    bye bye
    greeting from czech

  8. gazza

    assassinsc creed 2 should be about the present time in lookin for the itmes before the copany in the first 1 do and should haves flash backs into the bast well dreams actaly so u are altier wen dezmond is asleep when hes awake he will have some cluse were to look for them witch it will make more sence for the game and no glitches becouse there wos no point for them thay just got enoyin

  9. CounterTerro

    Yes you are right about the indoor env. and I would add night time …..it will make killing more interesting…my op…

  10. Apple

    you ungratefull little punk!!!!!! this game is the best for now! how could you ask for more?!!!!! the developers must been working all year non stop to make this game and you critisize it!!!!!! if i were to find you i would hit you in the face

  11. blahhhh

    I fully agree with Apple, do you have any idea how hard it would be to make all those giant cities with every tiny detail and have all those civilians with different reactions to Altiar. It one of the best games I’ve ever seen and I loved it.

  12. dude

    Apple and blahh have a point, but come on, with all the new tech coming out every few seconds I’m sure that they could add a little bit more interactivity into the game-after all nothing is perfect

  13. Aussie!!!

    I just dont understand how AC2 can even be based on assassins considering the story line :S. The guy who plays as Altair you know, begins to see like an assassin in the real world and that basically how it finishes but wont the game suddenly turn into more Hitman style as the “present” time templars and the holy order of the present come to save the dude?

    so basically all I’m saying is AC2 needs to follow suite with AC1 and I can make a lot of complaints about AC1 but there is no point now is there. Lol I’d be interested to see an “assassin” turn of events through call of duty or battlefield :D . Let the assassins kill the terrorists bahahahaha. work for the cia :O

    lol anyway looking forwars to AC2 and hopefully kotor 3 :) :):).

  14. Matt

    Great ideas!! i would have much rather played your game. The thing that drove me up the wall was the games redundance! The way it may you feel like you were watching a movie and you were the camera man was GREAT though! But i thought there would be a little more to it…..but still verry exciting.

  15. assassin

    Ok, you are getting a little off topic apple and blahhh. We all realize that it took them a hell of a long time to make the GRAPHICS, but lets face it the playability was a little pathetic. The combat system was thrilling but a do think the blood effects (hardly) and, there not be any cutting of the limbs, was crap. You’d think an M rating and the fact that it’s next gen would give you a little more than just some stabbling. And some of the stabbing, that would seem fatal, just made you have to stab him three or more times.

    1. needs save anywhere, anytime feature.

    2. pickpocketing anyone

    3. picking up weapons and using them. For example: I kill an archer on a rooftop, he drops his bow, I can’t use it = BS!!!

    4. Buying stuff at shops like armor and weapons

    5. night and day sequence

    6. more veriety with assassinations: choking, slipping through windows at night, shooting him with arrows, slit his throat while walking down the road or while he’s asleep, use rope to grapple above him, use rope to hang him, set a trap such as corpses, etc., there are many ways to kill someone. Be creative….Or play D&D or something, damn!!

    7. Use the crossbow in the trailer!!

    8. Jump in something other than a haystack.

    9. More veriety to side-missions.

    10. Actual control over climbing.

    11. Wall running!

    12. Better camera control.

    13. Better melee combat. Ex: I punch a guy, he punches me as I dodge, punch him back, same godforsaken routine.

    14. climbing inside an actual building. Not everything happens outdoors!!

    15. When a guard sees you comitting a murder, when you run away or climb the building to get away you acually ditch him!!

    16. Since when are guards Ninja’s!!! They can get on the roof just as fast as you can. Whats the point of running away if they can do exaclly what you can?

    17. When a guard throws rocks at you when you are scaling a wall, GRAB BACK ON TO THE GODFORSTAKEN WALL!!!

    18. The hangman stand in the trailer, where are those? I was hoping to save some people in them.

    19. A level based system: combat, climbling, silent, pickpocketing, weapon skill, balance, etc.

    20. Swimming!!! I died a hell of a lot on that ship assassination because Altair kept jumping into the water.

    21. A system that keeps track of how many people you’ve killed, head shots with a bow, etc. A system like the GTA series or Oblivion has.

    22. What am I missing……Oh right!! A better ending!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story was good but the ending just sucked. You didn’t get to kill the Templar or anything…….it just ended….

    There, I got 22 new ideas for the creaters, please take note. Anyone else got any fresh ideas that could improve the game, you write them down.

    I’m not trying to dis the game, but if a second one approaches, it needs a hell of a lot of improvement.

  16. assassin

    Hey, Aussie!!! that’s called SPLINTER CELL! :)

  17. assassin

    23. When escaping guards and blend with the white cloaked preists, It was to boring because there were only four and me in the middle. I was hoping to actually move into an actual crowd of priests and move with them until the guards left. I didn’t like that I had to press a button to move with the priests either. It should be a free roaming camoflage.

  18. god

    another thing would be cool if an assassination goes wrong. not like how Robert left Jerusalem already. Like, you’re getting ready to kill somebody, and the city gets attacked, and now you have to hunt your traget down. that would be cool.

  19. seth-izumaki

    i agree and i also agree with assassin..nut you forgot one thing!
    The poor guy needs to learn how to SWIM IN WATER!!!!!

  20. seth-izumaki

    sorry i meant to say but not nut..lol

  21. seth-izumaki

    sry i meant to say but not nut….lol

  22. 51920

    definitely. most important id say are a bit of customization (weapons and such) more types of intel missions, weather/night day, morre interaction, and more thigns to do with desmond! assassins creed has one of the most intriguing and rewarding storylines ive ever seen if you figure out the puzzles in the end, speak to lucy and read the emails.

  23. Viking

    i agree with all the new ideas except no grappling hooks

  24. Altair23

    I think it would be sick if we had more wepons variety. The game is great but its simple to just add more wepons. When i purchased the game, i was expecting to have the ability to do everything i saw. Ex: Crossbow, Extra Quickness, Hangman thingy, Easy escapes. None of these were actually IN THE GAME!!!

  25. jo mama

    I definatly agree , the AC2 needs a little more creativity, first of all, more weopons would be great, like a hatchet u could fight with or mayby throw, or mayby a chain with a blade at the end of it that u see ninjas using, mayby ninja like weopons, and of course the game needs more ways to stealth assassinate, i meen the hidden blade is badass but it gets a little old …. hes suppose to be a top notch assassin he should hav more weopons and know how to stealth assassinate som1 more than 1 way

  26. GOARMY314

    i agree with all the things being said here but i have a couple of question of wich i am confised about…#1. is lucy an assassin?#2if so why is she helping them(templars) kill off all the assassins in the desert!!?#3 if not why her is finger lopped off and, why is she wanting to hepl desmond??

  27. GOARMY314

    sorry about the miss spelings but that hepl is sapposed to be help

  28. GOARMY314

    sorry people i missed spelled and said somethings wrong.

  29. seth-izumaki

    this is a reply to those who dont know about crossbow….
    the crossbow is available once you have collected every flag!!!!
    that might take a lot of time to get though…

  30. GOARMY314

    ya i knew theres was a way to git that…just didnt know excatly how to…oh well thanks for the tip seth.

  31. GOARMY314

    never mind about my queons before figured em out now

  32. GOARMY314

    i knew there was a way to git it…just couldnt figure out how to…oh well thanks seth.

  33. GOARMY314

    is the cross bow usefull at all……well i gess it is but what i mean is in assassins creed does it ever prove a usefull tool to kill and most importantly is it cool looking and fun to shoot?

  34. GOARMY314

    never mind about my questions earlier i figured em out.

  35. GOARMY314

    omg!!! it sent em more than once!!!!!!

  36. bamafinest

    assassins creed 2 needs night time and somewere to change into black clothing

  37. GOARMY314

    i agree with bam…but the only problem with blak clothing is that it would be going to ninja assasins creed……maybe a diffrent type of clothing or something…but if hes talking about the black clothing i think he is…might as well call it ninjas creed 2….

  38. zane

    i think that all those r not neccessary. ubisoft worked hard on that game. but that wud b cool if they made assassin’s creed 2 that took place in the new world (in America) just a suggestion

  39. Agreed/disagreed

    I agree with so much of it but then again you can’t expect them to do so much. I mean do you have any idea how difficult it is just to make a game that isn’t even ½ as good as Assasins Creed. Ubisoft did extremely well with this one so you can’t criticise it too much considering how well this one was. I agree that the Assasinations were way too similar but if you really watched the story-line thoughout the whole game it was so interesting! I mean at the end with the blood there were Myan and Incan symbols on the floor with date codes and the ‘all seeing eye’ that was in the pyramid. And on the wall was Japanese writing, (the achievement for looking at it was ‘Visions of the Future’) so it might mean that it leads to Japan in search of the ‘items’ or whatever they were, I forget the name. I hope they don’t change the basis of this game too much because there are too many futuristic games we need to remember the past and what happened there!

  40. Agreed/disagreed

    Oh and goarmy seth was lieing, I really don’t think there is a way to obtain the crossbow shown in the opening. There is a kid who I saw got 100% game completion and they said they never gotten the crossbow so either seth lies or the video lies. hmm it goes down to who has more incentive to lie eh? lol

  41. GOARMY314

    i dint lie i just thought it would be cool to get it…if there was a way to get it……it just seems like to much to go through to get a stupid shooting pice of wood…no offense ubisoft..if u did acctually make it to were we can get it.

  42. GOARMY314

    just sayin

  43. Rhingar

    Hello all!
    I think that AC is a very good game but have many unused potencials.This timeline is excellent and the story is great,but the procedure to execute the targets is more than boring after 4-5th kill.I like the idea with merchants in the cities selling stuff (weapons,armor,etc…)The thing what for I like the game most is the fight system.It is not excellent but very very good.Still need to add some things I think.I hope AC2 will not be set to the future or to the 20th century,rather to the crusades time or maybe the Aztec timeline or something like this.Will see :)
    Nice day to all.

  44. beast13

    i agree with zane they worked alot on tht gme.i ant beleive sumbody wud criticsize it just bcuz it needs 6 new things.an like zane said that wud b cool if it took place in the new world. where u cud have people landin on jamestown an u hav a gun an ur short blade. im just makin a suggestion

  45. GOARMY314

    dude thats not cool it would be goin more grand thef auto rather than the assassins creed 2 game we want…..we already have a gta 4 we dont need another at the moment…and not that the gta games rnt cool but assassins creed is its own uniqe game…… u dont see very many games that take place like in 1300bc or somethin the only games that do that i can think of r prince of persia 1-3 and assassins creed.

  46. jesh12345

    I agree with everybody the game needs more stuff and maybe a way to change clothes to look like a normal person cause seriously you always look excactly the same.

  47. jesh12345

    Oh and maybe a way to steal from anybody you see including guards or police guys wichever they are, and those ladys who keep asking for money and get in the way of my assassination kills like a way to give them money or something, or just get rid of them completely

  48. altair

    I think AC2 sould have optional quest for earning money and them spend it on new wepons, armor,skills, speed strenght and should have merchentes and treinars on citis.

  49. altair

    whats wepon you like to see in AC2 (everibody)

  50. altair

    I think AC2 should apen in the same year as the 1 one in the new world whuold take all the fun from the game comon whou whould in 2008 walk around why sword and hidens blade now days whe have pistol and other things.

  51. altair

    o and pickpoking to earn money too i forget that.

  52. altair

    I think we shoul br able to buy some iding places like houses and hide insede till the guardes stop loking.

  53. altair

    I think it would by cool if we could buy hiding places like houses or something but dont take the already existing hiding places.

  54. beast13

    goarmy314, that wud b cool i it took place in tha new world as in colonial ages. im not talkin bout GTA 4 im talkin bout colonial ages. how wud it b gta 4 if i dont hav a machine gun or a sniper rifle or a pistol. im like talkin bout a musket gun dude, THINK! i know assassin’s creed is its own uniqe game but i was makin suggestion, not GTA 4

  55. zane

    GOARMY314, how wud it not b cool. how wud it GTA 4 if altair doesnt have a pistol or machine gun or a sniper rifle. im talkin bout a musket gun. i know assassin’s creed is its own unique game but im not turnin it into GTA 4, THINK! im talkin bout colonial ages wen the people landed on jamestown!

  56. Innocentkilla

    Um… First of all. Where the heck did you read an ANNOUNCED article ’bout Assassin’s Creed 2? By Ubisoft, i mean. Ubisoft Montreal is not making any AC2 at this time. They’re workin’ on Prince of Persia 4.. And about the “Robin Hood” thing.. It’s not what an Assassin do. And it’d never fit into the story-line, since Altair would never care about beggars, but only his target.

  57. Innocentkilla

    Sry about the bad grammar, just had an internet bug, so i could’nt go back and fix it :S

  58. sammy613

    i just wntd 2 know do u ever get the crossbow in the game?

  59. robertdesable2713

    i wnt 2 clear something up wen is really assassin’s creed 2 comin out?

  60. Thomas

    nobody knows, but i just thought this out.
    if the end in part one ends with the places of the piecres of eden uncoverd, part 2 is just for them to find them.
    ofcourse they can’t figure out where they are and that is where desmond comes in. he gets back into the animus and memoryses altair again. but now he is trying to hide the piece and kill everyone who wants to get it.
    well what do you think about this?

  61. GOARMY314

    i was just sayin it wouldnt be cool if it took place in the real world like u guys r talkin about….i thought that “bak in the day” was just fine and i know u guys mean….a musket gun….anytype a gun would turn it into almost ALL the games we see and have today…gta1-4,hitman,godfather,ex: i agree with the guy who said when desomd has a dream maybe u can play it to reveal more to desmonds confused little brain..or somethin……justa thought

  62. Jack Goodman

    ok….. your ideas are good and it would make the game fun but your forgetting something… the game is supposed to be atleast a pretty true story…. u cant get paid money for missions because u dont get paid as an assassin…. you do it to have less bad men in the world… also the evasion level stays high because the guards are looking for you and if they saw you they would know to chase you….

    suggestion for the game though…. when beggars walk up to you and beg for change you should be able to do more than just throw them or run away… you should be able to choose what to do……
    they should also add online multiplayer they could do it by having like duels and other things…..

    things like this plus the same outstanding graphics would make the game the best game ever made…

  63. Jack Goodman

    the game should go forward in time a little bit because desmond goes to another assassin in his family tree to stop the piece of eden….

    he should go to japan and be like a ninja/samurai assassin and use the choice of a bo staff, sai, di katanas, nunchuckas, ninja throwing stars, and a bunch of other cool weapons….

    then it would give ubisoft another whole list of people who were killed around that time….

    and then we would also have another awesome world created by ubisoft….
    because the same arabic environment gets boring….

    then in further sequels AC3, AC4 could go further to present and then even into the future after a couple games….

  64. Jack Goodman

    an idea for multiplayer is there are different assassin brotherhoods and they get in fights and stuff….they could have different types of fights though and it would make it like an assassins creed version of gears of war online multiplayer which is the best made for and console yet…

  65. Daniel

    yeah… i also found this game to be a routine after the first few assassinations. After about the 4th assassination i went back to the dude in Masyaf (ON TOP OF THE LONGEST BLOODY MOUNTAIN!!!) and he assigned me to another one where i got to the city and said to myself “not again…” hmm i only finished the game cos the theme was pretty cool and i was crazy about the prince of persia games….

  66. GOARMY314

    ya that does sound cool but do u even know if there makin an ac3 and 4?

  67. Blake

    i agree with almost everyting that these people said, especially what assassins says said, there are many good qualities to the game and many bad. ill list the bad first and say what i think ubisoft can do to make it better or fix it.

    1. saving features really were bad, e.x. about ready to assassinate someone but then if froze, or i had to do something else, i would like to save it right before that happens.

    2. pickpocket. was good, and bad, when pickpocketing someone you have to be able to use sleight of hand, or deception (which is what the assassins were known for back then). if you pickpocket someone they need to have a chance to notice and a chance to fail that notice check, and if you are able to pickpocket other people other than thugs, give them a good reason for doing it, e.x. pickpocket a gaurd so you can enter a certain building, or pickpocket a rich pedestrian for money, give it a more in depth story or reason other than, oh i need some knives, i’ll either steal some from this guy or kill him and run away.

    3. Diversify your weapon aresonal, the weapons that altair was given to use for each assassination were good, but they draged the game down alot by using the same thing over again.

    i would like to customize my assassin in Assassin’s Creed 2, e.x. give altair a long range arsonel like his knives but better, introduce the crossbow or longbows or any kinda bow, customize your knives and swords. or substitue one for the other like duel wielding daggers or swords to give altair an uperhand.

    4. buying and selling items in local or underground shops, give him new equipment to work with such as new ways to blend, weapons, transportation from town to town.

    or have altair do favors for the vendor owners to get free items for himself.

    5. night and day sequencing is right, an ideal assassination would take place at night, (less gaurds, less people, more concealment in the dark)
    make a time frame for assassinations, giving it a more realistic look, (target assassination is in an area for a certain time/day period) throw in some other types of weather or even seasons, rain or snow would be cool, (although snow occuring in a desert is less likely) it would help or hinder each individual person, many people would be off of the streets during rain clearing up room for altair to run.

    6. some new fighting material would be nice, if an assassin is a master of combat that should mean in every aspect aka hand to hand combat teach or give altair the chance to learn martial arts or whatever fighting style isreal knew back then, give the assassin more ways to kill someone, and new counters, give him the ability to use the crowd or attacker against others e.x. taking people as hostages to get what he wants, or have a civilian play along with something, say a fight in order to draw your target out, interigation, distraction, i liked Assassins Creed but the combat needs a little more work.

    7. whatever you show in the trailer, please use it in the game.

    8. the whole leap of faith thing was cool and all but there should be more than hay waiting for you at the bottom, such as a well or something that could conceal you.

    9. there need to be more sidemissions, and more types of sidemissions, such as stealing from the rich give to the poor type thing, favors for someone, taking packages somewhere, interactions with gaurds. enough said

    10. more control over climbing, make it to where you can move a ladder to a different spot, or if gaurds are trailing brake the ladder or pull it up so they cant follow.

    11. wall running to get somewhere would be cool, but at the same time unrealistic so its good where its at

    12. good camera control, keep it up

    13. better melee fighting styles, i think an assassin shouldn’t be able to get the crap beat out of him by a thug

    14. here’s a big issue, enviorenment, not everything happens outside or in the day time, make it possible for the players to enter any and every building if he chooses, even if there are restricitons such as locks, but not being able to enter a building is kinda dumb, if you think about it thats a very good place to hide from guards, or it can provide faster ways of travel depending on how you use it.

    15. give the guards more human like A.I, there is no way a person chasing an expertly trained assassin is gonna find him if he lost him in a big crowd or if the assassin scaled a building and is like five blocks away. if your out of sight your safe, but if you go back into the area you committed a crime a guard would have the chance to recognize you.

    16. the common people where not trained to climb tall building or structers and niether were guards, so why do they, it would be much simpler if the guards that are already on the rooftops would chase you, than guards that can follow you anywhere, and do anything you can (with the exception of Templars) but the templars shouldn’t even be in the next game as a main threat.

    17. ubisoft took to much time on giving the gaurds good A.I. instead of making altair do an auto grab if he begins to fall, i mean if you were going to fall off of a building your first reaction would be to grab something, enough said

    18. people condemened to death should be tried before they are sentenced, a cool sidemission would be if Altair would attend these trails and let the player decide if the person is worth saving or not, if he saves him he gets some kind of reward such as gold or weapons, even access to building that he wouldn’t normally have acess to. and if the player decides not to save him then the player misses out on whatever the reward is.

    19. give the character levels, or ranks or whatever, give him achievements for acts of honor or bravery or things no one else could pull off.

    20. give altair a chance with swimming, because im sure he doesn’t like drowning, that happend in Assassins Creed alot to players, or if you throw a gaurd or civilian in the water and they happen to drown, allow altair to jump on the bodies like stepping stones.

    21. a body count system, which would be included in the character levels and ranking system, and a stealth meter or indication of some sort letting the player know if he is being stealth or is pretty much on death row if he gets caught.

    22. make the game with a multiplayer mode, like Rachet: Deadlocked where the players can continue the storymode or compete against one another, make it fully customizeable each character, group, beliefs, way of killing, etc. e.x. make it to where your group can blend with just the members in it, or give each character a speacialty such as archery, or dagger throwing, sword fighting, dagger fighting, club fighting, hand to hand combat etc. and make online or local games where players can pit there assassination group against another group, or give a group or single assassin a set amount of targets they need to eliminate in a time period and the winner is the one with the most targets eliminated.

    23. the game needs to contiue where it left off, make it to where other assassins from present time come and rescue desmond, and when desmond is asleep he gets a clue as to where another piece of eden is, and when he’s awake he’s looking for it, and if they get to a location with a missing piece of eden, give them clues so they may find it. just my thinking on it

    24. give altair stamina, there’s no way a human could sit there for half an hour holding on to something with just there arms, theyd fall, that’s just something else i’m bringing to ubisofts attention.

    25. allow the player to fully customize altair or their assassin, clothes, weapons, fighting styles, story, beliefs, etc. it will give the character and the game a relvolutionary story and make the game limitless and fun for all players who play Assassins Creed 2.

    i was very impressed with the first Assassins Creed and i am looking forward to seeing the next one, i hope you consider some of the possibilities that i and many others have noted for changes to improve the game, im sure some of the things asked for will be impossible to preform but i ask that you do try, these changes will make the game revolutionary and will put Assassins Creed 2 at the top as far as gaming goes, well at least in my mind.

    Great job with Assassins Creed ubisoft, and good luck with Assassins Creed 2, I will be waiting, Thanks

    is ubisoft makin an ac2?

  69. Dread

    I agree with almost all of that but most of the combat part, ya countering attacks did get a little boring but think about it if you were in that situation you wouldn’t let your guard down if you were surronded by multiple enemies you would wait for them 2 make the first move and retalite like what happens in this game, plus the Assassins Creed states that the assassins cannot attack someone unless its in defence like in the beginning of the game were Altir gets shit for killing random knights.

  70. Jesse

    I totally agree with just about everything that Blake said. But i have somethings of my own to add to that list:

    #1 Stamina for Altair is a great idea, it adds a realistic twist to the game and making it more challenging.

    #2 The sync bar for Altair rises automatically and makes gameplay too easy. I thought that there should be food vendors down below or some other manual form of healing.

    #3 Pimp out Altiar! you should be able to customize EVERYTHING!!!! Make the robe custom in color/design. Certain customizable gear determines how much you can carry. Customizable, or upgradable weapons/armor would be great. Real life weapon damage would also be a realistic factor. So you might need to repair weapons/gear.

    #4 It would be nice to have money to buy stuff with. Since Altiar has no “master” anymore he can do whatever, so make him have gold.

    #5 Pickpocketing should be expanded to more people, and more valuables and goods should be able to be taken.

    #6 Traps and pre-setups before assassinations. Traps such as ropes, pit falls, ect.

    #7 Use of fire and random objects such as rocks, other weapons,ect, in the enviornment would enhance gameplay.

    #8 Get a frickin crossbow!

    #9 A larger variety of weopons should be available such as different types of blades or ranged weapons.

    #10 Night+Day time settings along with weather cycles such as fog, storms, clear skies, ect. All should be able to be used as an advantage for Altair.

    #11 Playing Robin Hood would be a fun side feature. Steal from rich, give to poor.

    #12 More side missions to do.

    #13 Allow Altair to find clients to work for in different areas of different cities. Awards for succesfully completing a mission could vary from gold, to weapons, to unlockables.

    #14 Environmental death sequences would give a new flavor to the game. What i mean is people die dramatically by what the surroundings are ( If there happens to be a sharp object sticking out of the ground and you grab and throw a guard in that area he gets shanked).

    #15 A personal hideout/safehouse would be good.

    #16 Interrogation methods should be more brutal rather than a couple of hits to the face.

    #17 A good reputaion gets you more jobs with clients.

    #18 Bounty is gained from killing people, theft, etc. bounty goes down over time. The larger the bounty you have the more pursued you will be in cities.

    #19 Co-op mode would be fun.It would be almost like a splinter cell ancient style.

    #20 Certain clients might want a mission done that interferes with another clients wishes causing contraversy, and a choice of which client to continue doing business with.

    #21 The “Kingdom” area should occasionally have traders passing through for you to barter with, or steal from.

    #22 Swimming should be modified somehow.

    #23 AI should be smarter but not characters from crouching tiger hidden dragon if you know what i mean. If they can do everything a skilled assassin can, why is Altair so special?

    #24 On the ground should be armor and weapon shops and traders. It would make gameplay more interesting and on the ground rather than all of your time being spent on the rooftops.

    #25 Breaking in and stealing stuff from buildings would be a great feature. Entering buildings in general would also be nice.

    #26 The game should have more variety. It is way too repetitive which can really bore people to death.

    The original game was a great game but could have been better. Some of these things seemed really obvious. Glitches, unrealistic gameplay(A.I. mainly) and stuff like that. Im hoping that Ubisoft considers most of these ideas. Love the game…..keep up the good work!

  71. raabio

    AC 2 needs an online multi player. think of it you have 6 people lets say. One is chosen as “It” and must kill the other players in a set amount of time. they have all have the skills of altair (or the new assassin in AC2) but there is a twist. the people that are trying to survive can see their teammates all the time(like the eagle vision after effect except its always there) but they will only see the killer if he does something to make him noticable. it will be the same way for the killer but he wont have the after effect forever. you can loose him and return to being hidden. this would be great fun i think to see just how good people are. and maybe have a replay function to show your greatest kills

  72. M@$t&R @sSAsS!n

    I think ac2 should be put in medeval England whre altair assassintes Imprtnt diplomats and kings ect. LOL u guys suk a disin ubisoft OUT B####es

  73. M@$t&R @sSAsS!n kid bro

    I agree with him LOL

  74. Creed Lover

    I noticed a lot of ideas being repeated. But here are some original ideas I came up with.

    1. Reasons to use different weapons- I found that the only weapons u needed was knives, sword, and hidden blade the dagger wasnt that special how about a sequence where Altiar loses his sword or his hidden blade is broken and has no choice to use a different weapon

    2.Being in dark places- In a old spiderman game in the sneaking missions you could hide yourself by sitting in a dark corner or room. So there should be some kind of way to hide right under a guards nose. Like being inside of a building crawling with guards. You sit silently in a dark corner a guard walks by you and you come out and sting him with your blade.

    3.More history- We need to no more about Altiar. We know hes an assassin but why is he a assassin what happened to his parents.

    4.A bigger problem- How about Altiar gets himself in big trouble. Trusts the wrong person and that person betrays him by making everybody turn on him and now hes a big outcast and has to redeem himself. Think about it having to run not only from guards but everybody even assassins who are almost as well trained as you. Something to give you more of a challendge.

    5.A love interst- Thats all I have to say

    6.Different fighting- Ubisoft made Prince of Persia Ubisoft also made Assassins Creed. Now you probably see where im going with this. Make Assassins Creed’s fighting more like Prince of Persia’s Fast paced hard and strong and like others said limb chopping.

    That what I got lets just hope Ubisoft uses them.

  75. itsdavebaby

    modern day desmond becomes an assassin but with some of the basic weapons like the stealth finger kill thing… and is strapped with smd’s to his nutsack

  76. Genisis

    Well, I couldn’t read all the comments posted but there were a lot of good and bad points made. I don’t think that there is a need for as much work put into indoor environments as in outdoor, simply because, as was said, the out door was soooooo imaculate that there was no need for anything else. I LOVE the idea of getting weapons and gold and the robin hood thing was genius, but that should be explored in a deeper way. Perhaps unlocking a special hidding… Thing. Any way, there was talk about what the second would be about, and how people think that it should be more involved with current times and all that. I think that would clash greatly with the story line, unless you play as someone other than Dezmond. It has been established that he is no longer an assasin. If he was as able to do the stuff done in the first AC by Altair, he would have had the eagle vision from the start, and he probably would have just killed everyone and left. Regardless, I think that the animus thing should continue, purely to keep with the story line if for nothing else. I also think that the assasins should end up (somehwere between the middle and the end) rescuing Dezmond. And it should turn out that they took the data Abstergo had and put it into an animus that they created. This would make the ending of the game intresting both because you play in the present world as an escaping Dezmond, and you finish off the game in the animus with one last hoorah ( before the third Assasins Creed) as ( don’t think I mentioned this but in the second, you should be exploring another one of Dezmonds ancestors, Not Altair, though we do so love him.) Desmonds ancestor. I think there definately needs to be a greater exploration of night and day, I also think that there should be a MUCH greater flexibility with how and where a mission is carried out. I think the AI is fine, though, as one guy said before, Tenchu AI’s could run circles around them. Speaking of which the two teams should work together on this! Two great games, banding together to make an even Better one!! The combat NEEDS to be fixed. I… I just can’t take it anymore. It’s SOOO redundant!!! But I guess more the more weapons Idea would, in theory, fix that. So yeah, in conclusion, some good idea, some bad, but hey, that’s why it’s a work in progress.

  77. Nate

    ok, i loved this game, i do agree with some of your ideas, and some of them i dont like.

    first off with the swimming thing, you say he should be able to swim, i say he should be able to swim for about 5 seconds before he drowns, so that you have a chance to get out of the water. I want you to imagine having a heavy cloak on, probably regular shirt and pants on under that. about an 8lb leather belt, 15 knives, a 4lbs sword, a 2lbs short sword, Big leather boots, leather sword sheaths…. i could go on but i wont… now try jumping into the water and trying to swim. all of the stuff is going to soak up the water and get really freaking heavy. i dont think it would be possible to stay afloat for more than about 15 seconds.

    Next is the weapon system, i think that you should be able to customize your sword, put different handles and blades, etc on it that each have their own traits (weight, cutting power, max sharpness, manuverability, hardness, etc) you could buy these separate parts at your merchant friends. during each fight your blade should endure wear and tear… gashes, bends, dullness… and you have to sharpen or replace your blade or else it breaks. you should have a home, in which you have a weapon room, where you can decide which four weapons you would like to carry with you. there should be axes, bow and arrows, cross bows, throwing knives, short swords, swords, chains, flails, battle hammers…. you get the point… just about anything you can think of, all customizeable, but only four weapons at a time.

    The fighting system, it needs to be more than just x, b, and right trigger. i havent thought of a good fighting system but it definately needs to be better. oh and you should still be able to use the wrist blade in the middle of a fight, not just let it get blocked each time.

    Clothing- you should be able to have another room in your home that has all sorts of different suits and apparell in it. it should have pre-set combinations that can be used, such as templar armor/clothes, soldier clothes for each town, assassin clothes white or black, civilian clothes, informant assassin clothes, clothes of previous assassination targets. these could be used to disquise yourself on certain missions, but you would have to be careful because each of these characters has enemies. maybe make these pre-set clothes unlockable. once all of them have been unlocked, you can customize them however you like.

    uhh, day and night, now in the spiderman games, i hated how night time lasted for ever, and day time only a few minutes. In AC2, there should be night and day, both the same length of time, probably about an hour long each (real time). Then back at your house, there should be a bed, and you can choose to go to sleep, and you can choose for roughly how long you would like to sleep. 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours (game time). then just have it load what time of day that would be, and place the sun in the correct place in the sky. then you could skip night time if you like the day, or you can skip the day if you like night. also have the missions correspond to the days. such as “he inspects his stock, every other day when the sun is at its highest in the sky” then you would have to sleep until that day, and wait until noon so that you could strike. or instead of sleeping until then you could preform other side missions until that time if you like. and to become more unnoticeable, you wear your black clothes at night, and white clothes during the day. also should have weather such as rain, snow, fog, etc which would help or work against altair and his targets in different ways.

    SIDE MISSIONS- dear god the side missions need to be improved so badly, “oh help me that hurts, you dirty thief i kill you” blah blah blah…… it gets really old, really fast. someone above me had some good ideas, deliver packages, preform favors for other assassins, repair a church, i dont know…. help an old lady across the street, work at mcdonalds, beat up the kid that takes your son’s lunch money every day WHATEVER!! ANYTHING BUT THE FREAKING CIVILIAN SAVING!!! IM BEGGING YOU!! NO MORE CIVILIANS IN TROUBLE!!

    —MONEY— there really badly needs to be a money system, get money by doing side missions or pick pocketing, then use that money to buy weapons, weapon parts, clothing, a horse, a prostetute, whatever you want…

    —civilian killing— i think they went a little overboard with the limits here, i mean you cant even punch the stupid beggars that wont get the hell out of your way. and you cant hit the retards that push you into groups of soldier and then the soldiers get pissed and kill you. you cant beat up the thugs. i think you should be able to punch these characters.

    ALTAIR NEEDS A CHICK!!! COME ON PUT A LITTLE ROMANCE INTO THE STORY!! have a female assassin watching altair because she secretly likes him. he has no idea that there is a girl assassin in masyaf, he keeps feeling himself being watched but whenever he turns around, she quickly hides. eventually he finds her and not knowing who she is, puts his blade to her throat and demands to know who she is, what she is doing in masyaf, and why she has been watching him. this deeply upsets and frightens her. she admits her fealings for him and runs off, leaving altair feeling guilty and like a total d*ck… have a mission to find and make up with her, have her be a source of information, healing, and just someone to have a conversation with, like the conversations you had with lucy. You could maybe improve your relationship with her by buying gifts for her from merchants. eventually, you can make her like you enough to get married in masyaf infront of all the other assassins.

    MULTIPLAYER– no, its a stupid idea, case closed

    SURVIVAL— have a mode where there is just a never ending mob of enemy soldiers coming at you, you must survive for as long as possible…

    ok well ive run out of things to talk about, uh, hopefully some of these ideas will be put into the game

    peace be upon you brothers,

    Nate – a blade in the crowd

  78. Nate

    ok i take back what i said about the multiplayer, some people had good ideas

    A FEW THINGS I FORGOT

    BODY COUNT– there definately needs to be a body count for each city, of how many guards you have killed and how many civilians you have killed

    GUARDS— GUARDS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO JUMP AROUND AND CLIMB UP BUILDINGS AS FAST AS ALTAIR, ALTAIR IS A MASTER ASSASSIN!! GUARDS ARE JUST REGULAR OLD GUYS WITH SWORDS!

    CIVILIANS– ok well just about 30 minutes ago i was at the ship docks in acre, when i killed a guard i saw one of the drunk guys {you know.. the guys with capes on, a beer bottle in their hands, and they cant hardly walk straight} I saw one of them jumping across the poles out in the water, i find them very difficult to jump across but here’s a drunk idiot jumping across them like its no problem, then he clung to the side of a building, shimmied around the side until he got to the side walk, then ran away with everyone else… WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!

    INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS— yes there should definately be indoor environments, im not going to go any further on this because everybody else has

    ENVIRONMENTAL KILLS– i only saw one person talk about this, i love this idea!! it would be great if you could toss someone down a well, or throw someone against a torch on the wall and they catch on fire, or throw them against one of the walls in one of those old burned out buildings, and the wall colapses on him, throw them down and they land on a sword belonging to another guard you have killed…

    thats all i got for right now

    safety and peace upon you

    -Nate

  79. Nate

    ok so i was playing AC and i was thinking about what you guys were saying about the climbing system and how it is too easy to climb buildings…

    CLIMBING– so when i am being chased by guards, i like the climbing system just the way it is, very simple, Altair pretty much just climbs by himself, but i think that in assassins creed 2, when you go to climb a high point, there should be a sequence of buttons that appear on screen one at a time, then, you must press those buttons before they dissapear. if you hit the button quickly, Altair will grab the next place on the wall, if you dont hit the button fast enough, or you press the wrong button, he will lose his grip and fall, at which point you will be able to try reaching out for ledges. this system is kind of like the certain events in spiderman 3 for the 360.. but i would only want this sequence to happen for high points, and if you are being chased, it will not appear, and you just climb the building like regular…

    thats all i wanted to say

    safety and peace upon you

    -Nate

  80. TJ

    everyone is talking about what they want based on the previous story but yet no one knows what where who or when everything takes place
    wait for them to release a bit of info on the subject before you all start to think up ways to make the first game better
    its a sequel not a repeat

  81. my bigga nigga

    ok…so for some of u who dont understand how the next game is going to work because of alfair bein able to see as an assassin in futere time, he is goin to be dead most likely..he is of no more use to the templars..and all of the blood writing leads to the setting of the next game which will be in japan in the most advanced city back in the days before technology
    alfair is as good as dead to ac2 imo

    orr theyll take it to guns in modern days and lucy will be ur bonnie and ull be clyde to try to kill off the templars

  82. THe Don

    I also agree
    I think that these are neccesary.For example i was annoyed when they would tell me where to go and how to do it and the game was one big tutorial until the 4th memory block, where you were able to find your own way around. I also think that it would be better if they made the game more historicaly realistic, like how in jerusalem the streets were extremley corwded and the only way you could go through the crowd is by going with the flow or pushing people out the way and your target blends in with the crowd like in the movies about jerusalem and another cities or new york cities
    And they could also make the weapons more diverse like being able to use 2 hidden blades( 1 for each arm) for combat,countering, and assasinations and long range weapons so you can assasinate your target from afar, like bows-and-arrows or take out guards.
    And i also agree with being able to pickpocket money from rich men and/or giving it to the poor or for your own needs.
    Also you should be able to buy clothes to wear so you will be able to blend in instead of just walking around with your weapons showing

  83. Caldrak

    assassins creed was ok but it had a lot to be desired
    in the sequal they should add:
    more selection in the weapons eg. you can use a bow and arrow or a crossbows rather than throwing knives. maces or rapiers or my personal favirote: katanas lol
    you should be able to earn cash, i mean come on the whole point of assassins where murderers for hire with alot of finese and style, like ninjas
    i personally think u shud be able to desighn your own weapons and clothes, i mean come on, who ever heard of assassins or ninjas wearing white and red. u shud b able 2 wear ya own clothes like trench coats and jackets or sumthin like that.
    you should be able to go more places and there should be more variety in the cities. like assassinate a prince in a desert city where there isnt a single tall or climbable building go to an oasis where…wotever u get the idea.
    you shud b able to go to blacksmiths n other stuff so u can get metal or buy new weapons or armor like spring shoes that soften your landing or sumthin shit like tht or just a plain chest plate lol

  84. alamzil

    what killed the game were the mentally retarted due to the fact that they can hit you out of all the people in the audience and you cannot escape them when your doing an assassination they blow your cover badly

  85. Jesus in a escalade pulls over and

    lol just go to youtube and look at the trailor, you can run spikes through the ground and kill infected from all around. IMO Its gonna be the BETTER version of Resident Evil, I agree with some people that there should be Multiplayer, if there is it should be based somewhat on UbiSofts previous game Dark Messiah. For those who dont know what DM is its a FPS version of AC

  86. Owenzo

    i think there should be more blood, when you stab an guard the blood looks fake and it doesnt go on the ground, and also when you turn on the game the movie (or trailer) shows that altair has a crossbow on his back, in Assassin’s Creed 2 i hope you can use it as your fourth weapon. if the game is going to be based in the future i was thinking it would be good to have guns and special swords (like lightsabers) that would be cool

  87. not really

    Hey guys the customizing every single detail becomes really boring. buy gta if you want to eat sleep and take a sh** in game.
    1/ I’d love a distraction feature like throwing a rock some place to distract the guard and going in for the kill.

    A stealth feature that is similar to metal gear solid would be nice and would satisfy customizing freaks.

    Buying newer stronger weapons would be great if there was specific animation for each weapon to give diversity to the game.

    Making it really hard to assasinate would make assassinating someone an achievement. e.g you could distract some guards causing them to move leaving one guard to be alone. kill the guard steal his clothes and hide the body. Go to a guard who u have to assasinate kill him and run for it.

    Buying different moves – assassination, counter, evade, assigning moves to different d pad directions

  88. will

    The stealing from rich give to poor is dumb it would go against the creed they are not guilty…..Just Rich

  89. link

    insted of just killing guards and that sort of thing there should be something u no…bigger….like a war breaks out between two cities and u chose your side and go inbattle against the other and there should br armies that u join and armies that att the city your in and u have defend it….that would be awesome

  90. altair

    OK here are the things i like sorry for the bad riting.

    1-you can change wepons and upgrade them but not armor how could you do the things that you do like jumps and be stealt whit a armor.

    2-You can have gold;silver,copper money and you can buy thing from merchante stands and from maisef or whaterver the name is.

    3-You have to swim i dont care if its realistic or not i want to swim and hide under water from the guardes.

    4-indor action

    5.side missons to earn money or just or reputation or other things.

    6-ranks like novice then aprendice bla bla bla and whit each rank you earn a new abilyty and wepon but you dont learn the skil or earn the wepon you just have the pocibylite to use it and learn it from selers and treinars.

    7-treinars to treine the new skils.

    8-new fithing system because when you learn counter atake you just use that ataque and nothing else and you win.

    9-pickpoking everione but some times it has nothing some times as gold some times as knifs some tomes as arows if you have a crosbow some times as 2 tings.

    10-guards sohuld by able to do everything you do but slower and sometimes they miss and fall from de bulding and some times they manage to jump must of the time they can because if they couldent you just have to go up a building and done you dont need to run anymore.like 85% they manage and the rest they dont manage.(get it)

    11-you sould by able to hire some assassins to go whit you but not much you have to be discrite like 2 more and you.

    12-you sould be able to hide in shadow.

    13-level system like when you climb the first time you are slow but when you climb you get experience and the lvl up climbing and you are faster and same whit other things like sword you get more power and new sword ataques and speed on sprinting and crosbow acuracy etc.

    14-night and day but not wether like rain and sown just night
    and day and in the night guards are les likely to see you.

    15-Multiplayer whit teames and they have to fight each other and the templares(or whaterver enemy is in ac 2) and they fight for the peace of eden and every teme as one city like jerusalem and acre exepte masiaf that will be like a place where no one can ataca no one all are the same to talk whit other players from other temes.(i know this will be one of the hardest parts but it would by very cool very very cool).

    16-the blend in the midle of 4 prist or whatever we should be in a croud of prist not only 4 and free moving not folow the prist.

  91. AC_killer

    After reading several of the posts. Let’s face it. What everyone basically wants is Assassin’s Creed with GTA play style.

    Personally, they created a wonderful sandbox. It’s a shame that it was under utilized. I could imagine fighting Hospitaliers off and “Hijacking” someone’s horse and galloping away.

    Additonal AC2 needs:
    01. A reason for the existence of “The Kingdom.” It’s a wasted area.

    02. Bigger hay piles when taking a “leap of faith” off of cathedrals. I don’t think the hay wagon cuts it.

    03. More fist fighting moves.

    04. Where’s the garrote?

    05. Faster movement when blending. That slow slow speed was torture.

  92. sleepy & tired

    Here are my 6 changes

    1 Multiplayer – have it like Gta 4 where you could customized your character-
    gametypes – Deathmatch, you have assassinate the other players last man
    standing wins(pulling out sword/shortblade guards come after
    you,use hidden blade or throwing knives to kill);Team Deathmatch,
    like Deathmatch with teams; “it”, like Deathmatch but one person
    can kill players and can see them on radar;team “it”, like “it” but with
    teams and don’t know where your targets are ;assassinate where
    everyone has targets one with most points win;team
    assassinate,like assassinate but with teams;Rescue, where either
    theres a npc or player you have to save(if player then defending
    team can only kill the rescue/hostage after they have been
    rescued and if the defending team pulls out swords then the npc
    guards will help them); Infiltration , like rescue but instead of a
    person your have papers

    2.Co-op – have it drop in/drop out, maybe where the second person could be an
    archer

    3.Trainers – Works for the assassins so the have access from the
    roof and you have to do side missions to get better
    weapon & armor
    – agility-running faster and better dodging
    – climbing-faster climbing and new climbing(dual hidden blades)
    – strength-faster climbing and can have better weapons and more ammo

    4.Weapons – Works for the assassins so the have access from the
    roof and you have to do side missions to get better
    weapon & armor
    – bow, crossbow, throwing knives
    – dual daggers, swords
    – hidden blades
    – fists; brass,copper,iron,and steel knuckles

    5.Money – You get a little money give to beggars to get them off of you(once you
    leave the city they will harass you again) and do civilian side quests to get
    more money and respect from them but pickpocketing takes little money
    and respect

    6.Indoor environment – For the safehouses and houses to hide from the guards and
    to assassinate your target in there sleep

    Personally in AC1 I think you should have started out with Altair when he was a rookie, the whole being stripped of his ranks thing didn’t make sense. Also it would be nice if AC2 had almost an RPG style weapon system, where you purchase items or obtain items from killing people and the harder the weapon is to get the better it is. Also like a few of you said the multiplayer option would be amazing (for example having your friend create a diversion while you perform the assassination) and a money system would be nice. And the one thing that AC2 could use the most (in my opinion) is less repetative fights and guards that aren’t friggin parkour experts. For the fights all you ever do is counter, nothing else. What I think would be cool was if you couldn’t take all those guards at once, you would actually have to divide and conquer. Also different armors would be nice. These are just a few of my suggestions, if anyone has anything to add on to it please do.

    I think the best improvement of em all would be:

    Add some storyline to the roaming in the city. Seriously. It totally felt separate from the story, since you just eavesdrop, pickpocket or save a citizen and every one are the same. And you can’t pickpocket anything else, or anyone else. And the whole “the map points you where the next boring thing is going to happen”-fact kinda takes the edge off of actually looking around the city, appreciating every detail they’ve managed to make in the game.

    I’ve tried to play the game “realistic” so many times, but all the citizens and the “mini-missions” are the same. I’d love to pickpocket someone and find a personal letter – not including anything in the game. It’d just make the whole thing more realistic.

    I’d love to hear some chatter between the normal citizens. Like eavesdropping, but I’d actually not get anything useful info.. So I’d have to determine who is actually worth listening to. And in the same time, I’d get some sense of “reality” to the game, since people would just talk to each other. I mean, how cool would it be to walk around, hearing people talk about ordinary things until something interesting can be heard, and then follow a guy and learn more. Or just to look for suspicious people.

    The whole thing with GTA 4, with random people around the city, who have missions – that was really cool when you first noticed that :)

    And ofcourse, more sidemissions.

    But my point is: Make the game more realistic. So that everythings not so linear and you’ll have to stumble upon a great amount of info, some useful, some not useful – It’d make the whole assasination process longer and more interesting.

    I absolutely hated the fact that everyone says the same exact lines when you rescue em, and the situations are always the same. The only different and cool scenarios were the totally scripted ones – those, that everyone will see and go through to get to the end of the game.

    VARIETY. That’s the word.

    Don’t get me wrong, I liked assassin’s creed alot, but it didn’t leave me anything to go back to. Nothing I’d seen, when I went through the game. And the people, although there were alot of em, didn’t seem alive, since they all just walked around, not really talking, doing private stuff etc.

    When studying a sandbox game, the thing that gives me the feeling of reality is always the fact that I can actually see someone doing something ordinary. Like in GTA4 for example. Get in a cab and the cabbie throws a coffeecup out of the window when starting the ride. Or sways to the music on the radio. Or the random criminals running around, being chased by the cops.. follow em, and when the cop gets him, they’ll ACTUALLY put him in a copcar. That’s just the thing that makes the whole world feel alive.

    And that’s what imo was missing from assassin’s creed.

    And I do agree with most things “assassin” said in his list, but seriously, if the guards wouldn’t be able to climb or chase you on rooftops, it’d get a bit too easy. BUT you’re right, I wouldn’t want them to be able to do everything altair can. Maybe just tracking him down with a group.. kinda like oblivion did. They didn’t literally chase you on the roof, but saw you from the ground, chasing you there, maybe climbing a ladder or two, while the other’s “chased” you on ground level, keeping track of you.

    And a bow.. hell yeah. I was dumbstruck when the crossbow in the cutscene wasn’t even in the game :/ Why not? Weird.

    All the storyline missions and conversations work, but the outer world, while collecting info and freeroaming, really made me lose the feeling of being in an ancient city with a LOT of people. It just didn’t work.

    And assassin’s creed has all the game mechanics and all the ingredients to make an absolutely awesome game, but I feel that they rushed it a bit, in their own excitement. Just little things here and there, and it’d be so much better. I wish they’ll do alot of improvements of that sort that make the world more alive, not just add weapons. Even though, all the “weapon upgrade”, roleplaying game kinda elements you people have mentioned would be awesome :)

    But if something needs to be fixed in my opinion, is the feel of realism while walking on the streets, studying people behaviour and the world in itself.

    But I bet they’re going to make the next one better. At least I really really hope so. It has the oppourtunity to be my favourite game of ALL TIME, and they kinda screwed up the first assassins creed, lacking things that are completely do-able. :(

    Now it’s good. But with little things and a few new improvements, assassins creed 2 will be absolutely amazing.

  95. the tank

    forget about your stupid gold system. it’s pointless. they’re not doing it for money, and it wouldn’t fit the story. you’re just whining cuz it wasn’t your perfect video game. and i don’t think i had more than a couple glitches. your disc was probably scratched when it froze up. what they should do is let you unlock a variety of weapons, and then make you choose between them at the assassin’s bureau. this would make it less of a pain to switch it up should you so desire, but would allow for realistic flexibility. you pretty much pointed out the obvious faults, and then failed on your own “original” ideas (read: pirated from other games).

  96. javed

    assassin’s creed 2 should have 2 player mode on line so you can fight poeple when bored after finshing the and it should have 2 player story mode and 2player online storymode

  97. javed

    the controls in assassin’s creed 2 should be like prince of persia the new one for e3

  98. javed

    ac2 should have all diffenter missios lie ingta4 like when you do a assassination the missions that did to the inform will nerver come in the game again. sorry for the mistakes in text.

  99. mmm bacon

    i think they should have real injuries (so if you get cut in the leg u limp etc. and u have to heal it)

  100. bblade

    agree about night and day and interupted assassinations, also, why cant you jump from a building down onto someone and knife them as you land? you have to get on the floor first, seems like a lack of agility, also, more horse cmbat cuz the rest of the stuffs pointless. still its a wicked game if not a bit monotonous

  101. ANjaSqurl

    I agree with a lot of what is said….I definitly think it should be based in the future with Desmond and Lucy…with a stolen Anamus or something and some Altiar missions to help find an object. I found myself playing through the kills more to find out what was going to happen in the “real world” next.

    Thats the short version of my 2 cents most everything that needs to be said has been.

  102. Jwill1230

    I agree with alot of it but maybe with the robin hood type thing is having money so you can give beggars money for information.

  103. Colin

    While i do agree with your points i will say why they did not add more content such as more weapons, assassinations, and indoor places is because they simply ran out of room the 360 and the PS3 frankly dont have a very big memory capacity which is why the PC version had WAY more content then the console version… so to add all these things would be very very hard there just aint enough room

  104. Colin

    And Bblade you can do that you need to lock onto the person you want to kill and jump off the roof right when your about to hit them you tap X(Xbox 360) or [](PS3) and youll do it. it really just looks like a glorified version of the high profile sprinting kill. It takes some practice to actually pull off and is pretty much useless but you can do it

  105. Skip

    One word: SUBTITLES. Seriously, I am hearing impaired, and so I could not figure most of this game out! :(

  106. crxz

    many assasinations begins with collecting information about target and altair often wonders when is the best time to strike, but every time conclusion stays the same, you fight a target and an army of guards… why not kill at night? because there is no night :( it would be far more interesting to collect information about how to get to your target at night than wasting lots of time saving citizens, listening, pickpocketing and never use that information, because target just walks right out.

  107. Aki

    Definatly, needs the game play to be more varied

    The 1st game was amazing visually. It was just a bit, bland to play. And there were not enough characters to interact with.

  108. Billy bob

    I think you should get something like dual swords or a bow as extra weapons

  109. Billy bob

    dual swords necessary

  110. I loved assasins creed

    I have completed Assasins creed, twice and i loved the game.
    but it all seemed a little unfinished, most of the time i would be doing on of the objectives and i would see 2 or 3, maybe 4 of the same citozen and not alot of variation e.g (weight differences, voice differences, colour differences and hieght differences).
    i think it would be best for you to be able to talk to everyone and enter every buildin, take OBLIVION, that was a good game but alot of the people said the same thing, so if you took that and modified it a little, that would be a top class game.

    i also love the random events idea. maybe every so often, maybe on a play time limmit or on a game completion limit something random would happen. maybe an explosion that you could feel the efects of, or someone needing your help.

    i will go back to OBLIVION again, you could talk to someone and they would give you a quest that you could do to help them, you could make a version of thast but MORE and MANY DIFFERENCES, in the help objective, maybe on the start menu, there could be a table to show ongoing objectives.

    hope it helps,

  111. I loved assasins creed

    they should keep with 9 fingers, its good, and you should be able to buy your own swords, but you have to help the people you buy from to sell to you in the first place, and if you do more and more favours for them, then you should be able to earn different things for free, and through the game, the seller, should tell you that he has found new and wtter object, dual swords for example…

    in the new one different random event should happen around the city, that you can help with or you might just feel the effects from.
    not every one you talk to should give you an objective, some might just talk and not all of them will give you things in return for helping, obviously in the modern one you should include, MONEY and CELL PHONES, so some one that you help, might give you their number to help you in return or if they need help. and in return for help (sometimes) you might be given weopons, addresses of people for personal wants and objectives, money,

    also the freerunning should be turned up a noch, with a bit more upper boddy strength so it gets quicker, and when he jumps into a wall he shouldnt slowly slide down it, he should have the chance to push himself off of it. the free running will be harder, due to taller buildings so should be allowed inside all buildings for lifts, outside lifts you couuld clamber on to,

    maybe you could be like that french man who climes buildings.

    I know it sounds like i am having a go, but i did like the first game alot, it was better than i expected, at the moment i am playing it foir athird time, but it is just the little things that need to be made better

    like the water death……..NONE OF THAT, surely a hard man like ALTAR should be able to swim…

  112. hang on a second

    There needs to be asurance that it will be set in medieval times. i mean these ideas are really somthing with money, new weapons and stuff but the fact is we need to make sure its set in the medeival times. thats the reason why i got the game. coz its in the holy land. and i love that factor. the annoying thing is there is a small chance of the time being set in medeival times and this is going to be a let down plz ubisoft make it in the same time or in 1192 or 1193 or something!!!!

    by the way you guys have some really good ideas.

  113. hang on a second

    oh and to be honest it was annoying to go to the future every five seconds. i wanted to stay in the hiolyland and kill people. ubisoft could have made just an assasins game set in the holy land with the creed and everything none off this back to the future kind of stuff. not that this future storyline was not good.

  114. Metin

    I think that the fighting combat should be improved, just a few punches isnt enough.
    Close combat should have more varieties too such as slitting the throat and etc (like MGS3).
    The boses should definitely be harder and they should have a life bar.
    Obviously there is a lot more improvements tob= be made

  115. Metin

    Obviously there should be a lot more improvements but you guys pretty much mentioned all.

    By the way at the end when ur left alone at the present time you can log into lucy’s laptop.
    the message that she deleted which u all probably read, did u realise the signs in the first paragraph.
    When u put all the capital letter together in order it says
    ‘we will be there soon’
    maybe something to do with the second game or its about the time when a few assassins tried to break into the building to save altair (whatever his name was at the present time)

  116. Metin

    There is more to be improved but u guys mentioned most of them.

    by the way at the end when ur left alone in the lab u can log into lucy’s laptop which u all probably have done.

    there is a message she’s got on the deleted section. Did u guys realise the signs on the first paragraph.
    When u put all the capital letters together in order it says
    ‘we will be there soon’
    Its probably talking about the time when some assasins tried to break into the lab to take altair
    (whatever his name woz at d present time).

  117. assassins creed fan

    i agreeon every ting exept grappelin hooks

  118. Vuke

    Assassins Creed 2 shold be a longer game,I mean I finished it in 1 day,and the blood I cant see it realy……..and u ppl are right night wold be just great!!!It wold be great to have shops to buy new better weapons and armor and things like that………it cold use a lot of worck,anyway this are just sugestions I’d like to play the game however it is,because assassin is the best hail Altair!!!

  119. concern consumer

    when is it released

  120. Millas

    altiar has a crossbow however in gameplay u cant use it. I think something like customizing ur characters outfit colors wud b kinda cool.

  121. stuff

    if it was very difficult to lose the guards after an assassination… then, no offense, but you sucked at this game. the combat and evasion aspects of this game were amusing and could be mastered quite quickly.

    also, the last idea is kind of lame.. the game is called “assassin’s creed”.. not.. “welfare creed”.. which, i know that may come as a shocker, but it’s probably the reason we’re not taking gold from the rich and giving it to the poor.

  122. lee

    i think ac2 should be more jason bourne based in present time.. i dnt really understand what all that crap was that was written all over the walls at the end of ac1 but he seems to have the ability to see things others cant. maybey that dream machine thingy made some of altairs dna brush off onto him somehow. AC2 should include:
    1 not only pick pocketing any1 but planting objects on people (cell phones, numbers, messages etc).
    2 some hand to hand combat and disarming
    3 infiltration with stealth and disguise
    4 sim card copying, internet access for objective info.
    5 suspect everyone trust no 1 plot twists
    6 hi octane parkour chases on foot through buildings, on buildings. Through the streets on foot in cars on bikes etc
    7 character ability upgrades
    8 sewer networks and public transport should be available for area jumping but at a cost.
    9 find ubi headquarters and have sex with jade raymond (jokes)
    10 a choice of clothing thats appropiate to blend in certain areas eg uptown and downtown dress codes. Black outfits for night sneaking missions
    11 experimental interrogations
    12 key zones and view points via satalite imagery in big citys (because lets be honest u cant scale the side of a sky scraper and it would take forever)
    i no it all sounds very hi tech compared to ac1 and a big leap but this is just if ac2 is set in present day or maybe a bit ahead like the year 2020 or sumthing. Anyway just a few thoughts.

  123. Mike5005005

    Ok I agree with most of the stuff but 1 thing no one said is the world should be interactive
    i mean it shouldn’t just be NPC’s that interacte. like when ur climbing on the beams(like to get into a city) sometimes they should break like u can tell via they look different or have cracks and ur character should be able to do more like kick,swim,throw rocks(when out of ur knives), there should be a whole new thing thats based on RESPECT IN THE CREED like on ur missions u should get more respect say if u kill only the guy u need to.Witch brings me to this next point u should just be abble to break legs arms ect. and use sticks or something like a broken beam. oh yes and the money stuff but realy u should see Altiar’s Family and home.make it kinda like GTA IV or San Andreaus like the whole buying things from stalls,blck market, random people and girlfriends and family and more things like TRue CRime. how u can choose different endings or go down the wrong road.Thats all for now

  124. Mike5005005

    oh and it should still be in the past cus a modern assassin creed would just be hitman.

  125. Mike5005005

    wiat i do have more Altiar should be able to do flips and stuff that takes skill like acrobaticks

  126. i think

    i think that it should still be set in medival times but should be real time so if you spend long peariods of time playing ac it should slowly get dark, and then also there should be diffrent weather patterns like could be raining so we would see less people about.
    also i would like to see the inside of every building it would be fun to escape a guard to run into someones house and jam the door shut while trying to find a better exit.
    also we dont want to many nija weapons beacuse it would be like a ninja game.
    also wanst there a war on at them times? why not just be riding along and theres a battle.]
    also there should just be a free run mission were you get to go and see if people need any help with any one. also i would like to see more gore ofcorse. also crimes in thoughs days were quite bad like muggings, rape, killings. why not at night when you are walking around a city you see someone getting attacked you can break it up by killing them with a hidden blade.
    also i think that you should be aloud to pickpocket anyone to get money. also you should be able to bribe some guards to let you through.
    and one morwe thing they should have poison to stick in someones food or drink. and also make the are out side the citys more deadly like have wolfs, snakes, robbers.
    also to travle to city to city it should take more than a day to get there so you have to camp out with a fire.

    thats all sorry for spelling.

  127. anyonebutosamabarak

    First of all i agree there should be more free play like weapons or how & when you strike or side jobs to get money for the brotherhood or poor or yourself. But it’s the first game & while they always want to make it the best they have time & cost limits & have to leave something for any future game so everyone relax. I did find it weird that you are given & seen carrying a cross bow but rarely if ever use it. I wish you could be hired as a bodyguard or something or that there were more attacks on the hide out it would again help give more game play. Its funny how you have alot of free movement but yet are set on when where & how you get to your target even according to some how you kill them. I have killed each in several different ways but in the end it’s pretty basic sword, throwing knifes, or knife & hidden weapon. Also you should be able to ease drop before you steal the information or the other “hints” you need to locate your victim. Still I love the game its one of my favorites behind ghost recon series,hitman series, GTA, & Saints Rows. Wish there was just more sandbox play leading up to & even beyond the last assassination after all after the last the brotherhood isn’t going to just disappear & there would likely still be more or new people to take the place of those killed & thus continue to profit from the crusades until enough were killed to make advancement not worth the risk. If you kill a boss someone will take his place but if you kill or convict enough “bosses” at some point then the promotion risk aren’t worth it & a group would fall either apart or into small groups that in time might do the work for you but still less of a threat to anyone but their rivals or with so little power & influence that noone would listen to them and end. Even without the crusaders you could still be a help to the rich or poor fighting crime or abuse.

  128. anyonebutosamabarak

    I agree with Mike500 & many others but as much as it would be cool to have more of a normal GTA life and think you should be able to steal or earn money & respect doing favors especially for wealthy people or for the poor, be able to buy houses and stuff I believe the brotherhood didn’t allow that which is probably why we’re not & the girlfriend or family thing especially would kind of be fun i don’t believe Altair would really be able to in the brotherhood & while I know thens are not always 100% factual or what have you the more factual the better to me in the end.

  129. muhemmedkk

    If AC2 is coming, the game should also include combat while riding on the horse. The point is that whenever Altair used to sit on the horse, no one could catch him. So I think, AC2 needs to have some horsemen as well.
    But still AC1 was AWESOME. Cant wait to play AC2.

  130. muhemmedkk

    another point is that Altair should be able to swim because it looks stupid that such a bad ass assassin cant swim.

  131. Hashashin The Flying One

    I agree with the majority concerning the crossbow not being in the original game, not to mention the lack of diversity when discussing the amount of possible ways in which one could assassinate the target, the fact that the combat system didn’t evolve through the game, eg; enemies becoming more skillful to compensate for the player’s abilities and rank being restored. I also agree strongly on the day-to-night sequence, climbing through windows, gaining access through sky-lights, etc. Being able to choose from a much larger array of weapons & buying from merchants throughout the cities would also be something to agree upon. Many of you people don’t seem to realize that these assassins are based on an actual brotherhood of assassins who where active throughout Persia between the 10th & 12th centuries. individual assassins weren’t driven by their own agendas with their own goals in mind, they where completely loyal to their master & would gladly allow him to end their life if they were ever to fail in their missions, which they rarely did. They DID have compassion & where not driven to do their mission out of thirst for money, they did it for the greater good. InnocentKilla, how in the world would YOU know what an assassin thinks of beggars? Who told you that they wouldn’t give a damn about beggars on the street & would only care about killing their target? That’s not true in the slightest! The “Robin Hood thing” is exactly what they were about. Why the hell do you think Altair was assigned to kill the merchant king? Because he was taking the townspeople’s money & spending it on himself! You shouldn’t belittle someone else’s idea just because YOU don’t think it’s the main character’s “style”. *Back to topic* Although many powerful people were killed by the brotherhood, there were lots whom merely recieved death threats, eg, awaking to find a knife beside their pillow or a poisoned cake on their bedside, etc. It would be interesting to see these possibilities integrated into the game too. I also agree with any & all who suggested the ability to swim, pickpocket everyone & land on more than haystacks, & also the addition of a more complex hand-to-hand fight system, not just; punch, block, return punch, return block, etc (boring). Oh & to all those who ridicule other commenters’ ideas claiming that they make the brotherhood seem too similar to ninjas of Japan; You’d actually be really surprised how much they have in common with one another. training, meditation, mental/physical preperation, throwing implements, infiltration methods, etc. See for yourselves!

  132. Dom

    i really liked the game, but it was really repetitive. i like the idea of indoor environments too and that there should be more weapons. i also think there should be more cities. one thing i hated was that in most of my assassinations i would usually be caught and i would have to fight instead of just assassinate the dude and then run. i think it would cool if u could pretend to be one of the guards. most of the time it didnt seem real either. if u just hide on a bench or in a flower think on the roofs. why dont they check inside the things or on the bench? it doesnt seem real unless they were extremely stupid. i did think the game was fun. just runnin on the roofs and throwing knives at people.

  133. GoldenWolf88

    Indoors yes weapons yes but in all i can say i was satisfied with this game i enjoyed the story and it left you hanging which is, as we all know a necessity when it comes to sequels im looking forward to the next title but i would also like to see there be a past story line/mission Present story line/mission if you catch my drift i want to control altair’s successor

  134. tygo

    this game needs to be integrated onto the internet..X-BOX Live for instance, they coulda done tonnes of stuff with the first one but instead they did nothing!! – say there could be an arena mode where you can design your own outfit, then you are in one of the cities and everybody who is an assassin is anonymous!! hence real skill in the game being used to pick out who is AI and who is an assassin playing the game online from elsewhere. last man standing wins!

  135. Evolute

    Ok I do agree with somethings being said however one thing i beleive was paramount when riding a horse I dont understand why you couldnt jump off on top of an enemy and kill him

  136. Rastafarian man

    i do have to admit though. they do need to make a more realistic death sequence. kinda like if you kill someone and they fall on someone. they should pile on top of other people. not fall through. mainly because if your bored then you can make giant piles of gaurds!!! lol. they should also include something like Gears of War, were if you walk into the bodies the move because u basically kicked it. lol

  137. Holla@YourBoy

    I thought this game was great but everyone here has the same thing to complain about, yes the game was awesome but the story and gameplay got extremely boring and repetitive, but you just finished the game bc you spent 60 dollars on it and wanted to finish it before you sold it back. However, THEY DEFFINETLY NEED TO MAKE A MORE INTERACTIVE WORLD like Fable or World of Warcraft. In which you could decicede to buy certian armor,weapons,clothing, be able to be good or bad, decided on not doing certian assassinations, be a hero or villian, be praised or hated. I thinkg if they could do that it would be the greatest game ever.

  138. my spelling sucks half the time

    okay everyone critisizeing the ending you suck the emails and the pictures drawn in blood or whatever the hell it was as well as the talk of maps all leave it open for a second one if you havea fifth grade eduction you culd probobly figure out that you may just be playing as desmond in #2 and you will be looking for the treasure from the first and if you couldnt figure that out im going to kill a puppy and then kill you with it!!!!!!

  139. Cdog

    Let altair crouch

  140. freshbread

    there should definetly not be a monetary system inAC2 that would for sure destroy it. i do think a little weapon variety would be nice like having the crossbow. i would also like to see more of a need for stealth. it gets to the point where you become a god in close combat and sneaking around or fleeing is merely a fun option as opposed to a necessity. I do like the idea of more indoor environments and how you would function in them. i would also like to see a change in night and day and maybe weather as well. these varying conditions would affect how well you could sneak around as well add a change of scenery. sneaking around at night would be sweet and assassinations in the middle of a storm would be amazing as well!

  141. sarah

    I though assassins creed was a great game. i agree with the fact that the game MOST DEFINATELY needs night and day. Even though it took me a while to realize it, i finally caught that it was always daytime. And I really wanted to give those stupid beggers money just to get them out of my face, b/c if you threw them, the gaurds got all mad. But, I don’t like the idea of earning money for issions. That’s just not right. The game does need more interacivity. If random people can throw rocks at you, why can’t you throw rocks at random people? And why can’t Altiar swim???!!! I mean, I know hes got all those weapons but still. And the gaurds in the game are really stupid. They just run right by you whenever your sitting on a bench. They will stand right in front of you and be like, “We lost him.” I like the idea of more inside enviroments and more ways to assassinate. You definately need to be able to sneak inside a target’s house at night and like stab his face or something lol. OH! and horses need to be allowed in the city. Some of you may say that they won’t fit b/c of all the people. Simple solution:LESS PEOPLE! And in a trailer for the game, you could create roadblocks by breaking one of those wooden things with your sword. And there seriously needs to be more scholars in those groups. I mean, it’s sooo obvious that that you’re in there with all your weapons but once again, that’s stupid gaurds. I really wanted online gameplay but alas… And I agree with whoever said that you should be able to pick up the weapons of the people you kill. I think the game needs better ways of hiding all your weapons. I mean, come on! “No! of course I’m not an assassin! This sword? Well… These knives? Well…” I think it would also be sweet if could make friends with people and they could let you use their house as a preperation/resting/hiding place. And the combat rocks but I thought on a trialor it said one hit and your dead. Yeah, it might annoying, but at least it’s more realistic. Oh, well, that’s all i can think of for now.

  142. sarah

    oh! nd btw, I think the idea of armor is dumb. It’s not like your not obvious enough. Let’s just add a big shiny helmet to top it all off!

  143. Erin

    For those of you who think that the story line is a total flop, I want to let you know a few things that could help you to find more interest in the story. This game has a lot of historical information embedded throughout the entire plot. If you actually research some of the ideas mentioned, you’ll find that there are a lot of myths that are included in this game. I also think that the next one will take place in a different place (possibly Japan). This is due to the fact that at the end of the game, there is Japanese or Chinese writing on the wall and the achievement for seeing these writings is called “Visions of the Future.” I noticed the writing on the floor just outside the conference room, there is a drawing of an asian style building with writing and the word Yonaguni. I researched this and it turns out that it is the westernmost island in Japan, and widely believed that an ancient and advanced civilization lived on that island. This place was supposedly submerged under water similar to the incident of Atlantis.

    I personally think the creators of this game did an excellent job. I cannot deny that the suggestions listed here by both original poster and the additional comments people have made would make this, argumentatively, the best video game ever created.

  144. me

    They should probebly add piano wire and poison throwing needles as weapons. They should add surroundings as a weapon like picking up a chair and using it as cover or pickin up a needle and shove it in his hand and such.
    Change the game so that you can assassinate people with a partner so he can take some of the enemies away so you can get away. Add a wooden sheild to his back so when archers shoot him he can turn around and stop the arrows from hitting him.
    I have alot of suggestions even though I am at a young age so if you need suggestions you should ask me!

  145. me

    I just thought of something to add. They should add side missions like guarding the poor or stealing from rich people. They should also add jobs to this game like fable 2 but instead every time you do a job your attributes go up. Like when ever you go to a blacksmith you can smith a weapon and get lighter, quicker weapons and get discounts from weapons sold their.
    The final thing they should add is a talent like after you finish a weapon you can tell a trainer a bout it and they can teach you how to do something like a back flip or how to run up walls longer and such.

  146. Shawn

    Okay I agree with a lot of this stuff. But I think that for Assassins Creed 2, you should be able to design your own outfit, and be able to totally pimp out any weapons you get. Like say for instince, I want to start the game with black assassins robes with, a red assassins insignia on the back, then I should be able to start off with it. There needs to be stores or markets to buy different styled Assassins robes and then design new ones. That would be exceptionally cool I think. Same for weapons. Say I want a Black sword with silver markings on the blade, you should have too pay a lil extra but also damage modifiers for it too.

  147. Shawn

    We need clothing options. Design your own clothing to start off in the game, get gold and eventually go to shops and either mod your current robes or make a set of new ones, also a inventory is needed so you may have more weapons amung other things.

  148. Tingy2098

    Replying to Cdog. Altair can crouch! Hold the right trigger and A but dont move the analog stik. You can hide behind small walls ect…
    I use it on rooftops behind small walls and the archers never see me!

  149. Tingy2098

    I also like the idea of changing between night and day and the weather changing. Having more of a weapon choice would be good aswell. The inside part might be tricky for ubisoft since there is so much detail in one house never mind the whole city!!!
    The changing clothes idea isn’t very gd.
    In AC2, it would be good if you could go in boats, maybe, to a city.

    When i went on youtube i typed in AC2 and a trailer came up which showed altair in the city killing a whole load of people which were infected with a diease. I hope this isn’t what
    happens in AC2.That will ruin the whole thing.

    Maybe if they make an AC3 Altair could rescue the person stuck in the animus or is that person dead? What do you do at the end anyway? I understand all the signs but i dont know what 2 do?
    Awell

  150. Tina firemane

    I noticed some people are saying some new ideas for Ac2 and i have 1 or 2
    #1 You can choose to be female or male w.e
    #2 Better challanges like new assassinations that are kept safe by like LOADS of guards and
    #3 That girl that was helping the templars should help him kill every1 and help him find the relics or w.e they’re called I am a fan of assassins creed im just not as intelligent as you lot

  151. Shiek200

    What they really need to work on is the hand to hand combat. I mean punch, block punch, block, punch, block, punch. It was so boring and repeatitve. they need to add some hand to hand counters and combos. also some crossbow would be nice, but not to have all the time, like maybe a guard has a crossbow, so you kill him and steal it, but it’s only got one shot, so you get a quick ranged kill, but then go back to CQC, or get another crossbow.

  152. assassins creed joshy

    ok first of all the machine thingymagiger reads past not change it so tomis it cant change past dumbass i think game is good but i almost agree w/ evry thing but i think game should stay in same timezone and go on from where it left off and well i might be back but 1thing i think is that custom weps!!! choose your weps 4 a misson and ubsisoft your doing good but EA is better. yawn um well cum talk tome at myweb yawwwwn!!!!!!!

  153. assassins creed joshy

    well i think it should have something like koter does upgradeble weps and armor

  154. MoDee

    WOW, all those ideas are amazing if they were implimented to AC2, let me add some of my own too.
    1. day night and weather should be available in the game with your choices of assassinating in daylight or night, you get more reputation if done in day since it’ll be harder.
    2. Co-op should deffinatly be implimented, imagine playing with two more of your friends and you need help in killing gaurds, making a scene to distract gaurds, etc. But giving more reputation points if you do those Co-op designed missions alone.
    3. A reputation system in which if you need help but not Co-op you can employ by money more assassins (AI) to help you base on how high your reputation is will discide how far they can help you out.
    4. Costomization should be diffrent online and offline, offline you need to fit in so customize accordingly or youll get caught easier, online you wana look cool so open costomization.
    5. reputation system for killing civilians should make you more detectable if you kill alot of them and less if you dont and it adds to how if other assassins would help you or not.
    6. Multiplayer, deathmatch in which you kill other assassins throughout the city, team deathmatch(obvious), bodygaurd in which you would protect an NPC from enemy players, gaurdian angel in which you protect a target from other assassins without the target knowing, first come in which two teams or seperate assassins try to get to the same target before the others, shoppinglist in which many targets and objectives must be accomplished before the enemy.
    7. level designer, in which you design a section of the city and add number of civilians, gaurds and targets and releaase online for gamplay just like halo 3′s forge.
    8. and most deffinatly, more sidequests, like taking out merchants on the request of compeating mearchants, stealing from the rich and giving he poor or even vic versa by pickpockiting everyone.
    9. finally, you guys alredy said costomizable weapons but also add to that what weapons you want and dont want to take in a mission, for example, you can carry one throwing weapon, one kind of swords and one kind of daggers, the more you try to carry the heavier and slower youll be, gives you the choice to be a stealth assassin or a tank assassin.
    I think the next game will be played in the freanch revolution as some rumors say these days.

  155. austin

    i really like the thing about wepons and the robin hood things sound fun but i dosent realy need like the indoor stuff but like the thing with glitches i never had eny and i think the combat was fun and dosent need eny work and they defently need to put more quests cuz i beat the game in 2 days and it had the worst ending but over all was a good game but needs improvement

  156. Cee Jay

    Assassin’s Creed was an awesome game no doubt. The side missions were a bit boring the whole “assassinate the target your way” was screwed up, no matter how you approached the target it was just a big fight, chase, and stab. Night and Day no doubt, other than that I thought it was good, forget the “indoors thing” it’d be too much hassle. I think they should add Co-op play but let it be a different story, let it be 2 assassins who know Altair (or whoever the hero is in AC2) and let the player customize their assassin (their weapons clothes and gender) and keep Altair/Unnamed Hero the same. The two assassins could have unique co-op missions to do together…also they can swim…let them do water stealth kills, pop out and kill guards but let the guards be able to keep up with them if they try to escape underwater. Assassin’s Creed has SO much potential, we just have to find a way of releasing it!!

  157. Austin West

    To let everyone know, there will be an AC2 and AC3. Do some research. I found out that Altair can swim in AC2, but thats about it. Also the Ubisoft worker that spilled the beans got sacked. And an idea for AC2, reflecting on the female/male choice, is that you can choose to play as Lucy or Desmond(Altair).

  158. Apple Tooast

    Yea my friend works at ubisoft but i cant tell you guys anything or he will get fired

  159. Jeffie Dahmer

    Dont forget swimming

    it really erkd me that you can jump from building to build and building to ground and lets not forget the most anoying wall to water in which you always drowned

    how come a super assassin with such high ranks and top skrillz CANT SWIM I realize he has armor and all that stuff but you can carry a rocket launcher in GTA 4 and still swim

    anyway yea they should really have swimming

    sincerly Jeffie Dahmer,

  160. get a clue

    everyone stop sayin things to make the original game better. am i the only one that realizes that the way the game is set up that its near imposible to go back to the animus. the next game is prolly gana be in the future. there might be a little bit in the animus just to figure out what “it” is but dont get your hopes up for it bein a full blown game. i bet its gana be centered around remaking the assassins guild and getting the animus. dont get your hopes up if you wana play altiar all day cuz chances are your gana be desmond but i bet cuz he was in the animus he can do alota what altiar did so youl get some a the same

  161. jammy dodger

    we need to be able to swim and go inside houses in the next game and it might be in the future,so you also should be able to pick up dead peoples gear and see if its good enough.i reacon that ac2′s main character will be desmond and that would be good cos we could see the outside future.you should be able to do more than pickpocketing as well,you could kidnap people and interrorgate them and you could steal handbags and see whats insde the bag.jammydodger out!!!!!

  162. girlgamer

    a lot of the ideas i agree with. the assassinations got a little monotonous, as did the tasks to get info. & what was up with not being able to go inside ANY buildings except like, 3? (assassin’s bureau, burning book target building & madhouse). & not being able to swim just pissed me off. he can kill some1 HOW many different ways?!?! but he can’t SWIM?! next, more interaction with ppl in the cities would be nice..i mean, like the save citizen thing? they could expand upon that. they could have gaurds knock on the citizens’ door & ask something of them, like tax money (for lack of imagination), then leave & you go in find out what they need & get it for them. the other part of this is, more than just the women of the city could be helped. that got a little annoying. the scholars mixed things up a little, but still. maybe the guards could pick on some merchants or something? & finally: the ending!! could they ANSWER more questions then they CREATE in AC2? the game just seemed to end in the middle. is it too much to ask for a genuine ending?
    i do love the game, but it’s kinda like that Da Vinci quote “art is never finished, only abanoned”. aka, there are always improvements that can be made

  163. BallokBoy

    first of all i gotta say ubisoft did great wi this game. The world was huge, gameplay was grat and both Atlier and Desmond storys wer gd. Bt yer fair enuff alot needs 2 be changed for AC2
    1. Multiplayer, even if its jst 2 players. The game wud be gr8 if you cud hav one parson create a distraction while the other sneak into a fortress etc
    2. Upgradeable weapons, wouldnt it b great havin dual swords or bow and arrow ect. Plus picking up enemy weapons.
    3. Going inside, sneaking up to a targets bed and killing them in their sleep would be kwl.
    4. CHOICES! like one big choice at the end of the game that decides the ending
    5. Day and night, running along rooftops in moonlight is itself kewl.
    6. ability to recruit other assassins to help you in game
    7. Continue from after Al Mualim’s death, there is still a war going on
    8. Ability to swim, f*King water!
    ani1 got any actual news on the game btw???

  164. W

    SKIPABLE CINEMATICS

    Nothing I hated more than having to go through the same intro multiple times just to load ‘memories’ I had already been to.

  165. Bob the ninja

    ok so lets think logically here, u r wearing a heavy cloak and carying a quite large sword that maby at least weighs about 15lbs and the short dagger probbably 10 lb and then 15 nice sized daggers weight probably around 10lbs there is no way u will stay afloat in the water with 35lb of weight on ur shoulders

  166. Gave up Early

    Ok, ALL of these suggestions are great. Can we somehow get these to Ubisoft???Please??? or I fear they will make a continuation of the same crap. I actually enjoyed climbing towers and roaming the city rather than follow the same boring storyline. And would it be too much to ask for an invincibility cheat to beat the monotany

  167. Wow…

    Okay…Assasin’s Creed was a great game, with an exellent story, BUT…the game did make it sound like you had more choices then you actually did…I played through twice and still could only kill targets with the wrist blade…Besides the story and how people looked…each assasination was EXACTLY the same. I agree with more varied ways to kill your target yes. You should NOT play primarily as Desmond in AC2 though…He’s a BARTENDER…yes he can use Altair’s Eagle Eye, but c’mon…he’s not going to be able to be even close to Altair…the game should stay primarily in the past. Finally…I like the customization ideas…I would love different weapons, and for money instead of getting paid you could pick pocket it or collect it from slain guards. Still, the white robe and whats on it signifies what rank the assasin is, so tthe robe has to stay. There are many good ideas in your “6 Things” and comments. (night and day, inside enviro., ect) but there are also stupid ones…mostly in the comments (colonial days?! A musket?! c’mon…) We just have to wait and see…I’m almost positive they will make the game at least less repetitive.

  168. wat

    these are great ideas. however, as far as assassinating people outside and using bows, that wouldn’t be historically correct. assassins despised using bows and always assassinated people in public to make people aware that they lurk the city. the ‘robin hood’ idea interested me. i hope the next game has more missions as well.

  169. andrew

    can anyone say “multiplayer”? at least a co-op mode would be cool. maybe a thing like assassins vs templars.

  170. anthony

    tell you what, if he had all this stuff you want him to have, he wouldn’t be ab;e to climb anything, he’d rip his own arms off. Next, you want all these weapons….anythin else? tank perhaps? stop bitchin. If you can make a better game go ahead, we’ll wait about 10 years for you to pass all the graphic design and IT degress shall we?.

  171. Josh

    1. Since when could a highly trained assassin skilled in the art of death not swim in six feet of water.
    2. I think that in the present you should be an assassin also and not walk around go to sleep and repeat the process. yes you could picpocket the doctor but come on have him escape and fight meet up with the other assassins who also have an animus and fight in two different milleniums
    3. more stuff to do besides killing running and climbing there needs to be more to do
    4. I do not mean to bash the game dont get me wrong i love the game i just want to help ubisoft take a great game and make a freaking awsome sequal

  172. assassin of the creed

    ac1 was the shit the story wass unbeetabull the ai the assassins every thing was spectackuler and i just saw the prevu of ac2 and its even better omg i cant weat to by it lol

  173. assassin of the creed

    i think the video of a metal gear solid pissed me off because snke will never wher that and a assassin DOSE NOT SOKE A SIGGARET LOLbut guns well be nice thow lol

  174. kevin

    If they really want to go in the right direction with the sequel to assassins creed they will explore the idea of using a different timeline, its been awhile since i beat the game but i remember seeing some japanesse writing on the wall in the final scene, maybe a ninja assassin for AC2?

  175. jakeeeee

    assassis creed is good and all….but the missions need to be easyer to find and work out in assassins creed 2. Also i think the whole map should be unlocked from the start so you can enjoy the games cities from the beginning.

  176. fewf

    they should put in a online mode or something

  177. cody

    1.no more beggers, drunks, or insane people hitting you
    2.make it less glitchy
    3.larger world (not that #1 didnt do a good job)
    4.more indor envirements
    5.more equipment
    6.dont start us off with all or equipment then give it(and no extra) back at the end of the game.

  178. Jake

    alright you guys have a lot of good ideas but overall the game was good. yes, assassinations got boring after awhile of doing the same thing over and over. as for the never losing ur threat level is a really good thing, like come on it makes the game more realistic. In reality you cant go hide and come out in 10 sec and not be noticed. After all this was the first game of course AC2 is going to have new stuff in it and some bugs fixed. Theres many possibilites the could take this game on to we are just going to have to wait and see what they choose.

  179. Jake

    It’s not up to us to decide how they will make this next game.

  180. Wyatt

    Come on guys! This game was great. The only problem I found with the old game is that people speaking was hard to understand. I’d turn it up real high to hear, and a while later I knifed someone. Talk about loud! Besides that, I don’t think we should worry anymore about the upcoming game. Im sure we’ll get the thrill of a awsome assination and a large interative world to our own. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

  181. Infernosity

    I think all those things are good, but at the end, make it so you can continue altair’s life after al mualm dies and when you go to the assassin’s place in masasyef replace him with malik or something, so like a free run after the story and it would make sense

  182. Ismail

    I for one loved the game but find that every one of those ideas are great to add. for me it was some wat like the game thief if any of you know that game. but it was too repeditive but had a great story

  183. sarah

    There most definately needs to be something to allow you to skip the cinematics. I go back to the next to last memory so that no part of the city is blocked off so that I can loo for flags and templars cuz those are the only achievments I ahve left. BUT, at the very start, I have to listen to the ten minute speech Al Mualim gives and I’ve practiacley memorized it: “Come in my student. We have much to dicuss. We are close Altair. Robert de Sable is now all that stands between us and vistory…With him dies the knowledge of the templar treasure and any threat it might pose…” yeah, you get the jist

  184. Scottishboy

    They are all good points but they should defenitly have put the crossbow in it

  185. Thesmallestdude

    Well, the way AC 1 ended i think Desmond should escape and get trained by assasins in modern time. Another thing, to keep Altair, Desmond should get flashbacks from the Bleeding efect.

  186. rawhide

    I wish they would make AC 2 gameplay like Mirrors Edge. Also, they should cut all the scifi bs in favor of better character development. I want Altair not some “Piece of Eden” bs. It just needs to be more realistic.

  187. rawhide

    oh yeah, and more of that hot Templar chick please :3

  188. Red

    I actually found the first game very entertaining, it was hard to put down before you learned the counter. As much fun as this game is, I still think that they should make it into a movie. Can you imagine Assassins Creed 2 having Desmond being able to do all of the stuff that Altair with buildings and what-not? The only thing that would have to be added (due to the time period) would be to involve guns and stuff

  189. JaMasterGunner

    Based on my opinion, could be true I don’t kn ow, ubisoft was rushed in the making of this game so they couldn’t do everything that they wanted to do with it, eg: go inside other buildings beside the assassin bureau. One time I watched an inteview with the producer of this game and she said that the game engine that it’s running on is a prequel so to speak, this is not a quote, so they had to come up with what they wanted to do with it and had no past game engines for help. Hopefully they won’t be rushed for the second game and it be really top notch

  190. Coyle

    And by the way, those of you worried about the Japanese writing on the walls, among others… do your research.

    The Hashshashin were well known throughout the world, not just in the middle east. They had chapters everywhere. This game is based off of that assassins order… hell you can look it up on Google.

  191. AssassinOfPersia

    I disagree with all the points.
    Altair doesn’t need more armors and to have to do more around the city. That will be a boring rpg, not a social stealth game.

  192. varment

    I disagree with most on here. adding the things you want added will turn this very unique game into every other game out there… according to the story line, the purpose of assassins was not only to kill the target, but to make a public display of it and to get the victims blood on the feather, kind of hard to do all of that with a cross bow from far away, then your not an assassin, your a sniper. Assassins didn’t sneak in at night or use poisons, it hard to be a very public display, which also made a statement as it were. I agree that it got repetative, and toward the end I did only what was required. but again, I like it becasue it is not like any other game out there, I would prefere it stayed that way…

  193. Pat

    I like the ideas about the night and day seguence and the weapons and windows etc. But heres an idea, i don’t know if anyone has thought about it, a hiddin blde on each arm, just an idea. I don’t know if anyone will like it but it’s just and idea and all my friends who have played it agree with the idea with the night and day seguence etc.

  194. TJF

    This was one of the greatest games i have ever played – and all though it may be a bit monotonous i think that they did a genius job…
    Having said that in AC2 it could do with some co-op and indoor environments – but for AC1 i think it was just perfect

  195. TheMaster

    I disagree with everything!
    the only thing that needs to be changed is the saving system! you guys have to realize that this game is perfect the way it is. and if you guys look out for the hidden messages you will figure it out! on the floor after you beat the game, it says 12202020 or 12/20/2020! the end of the world! and the templers are looking for the pieces of eden and they will end the world! the only thing that needs changing is the saving and maybe a little multiplayer game, like a war beetween cities or something. if you look into the story more it will make the whole game experiance a lot better. the only game i can find superior is bioshock.

  196. TheMaster

    and for those who said it seemed to end in the middle, it was supposed to. it leaves a cliffhanger so that more people will buy the game. dont ask for a better ending if you paid attention to the story and looked around the ending would make perfect sence. dont just play a game to get it over with. half of this game was the amazing story if you didnt care for the story u might as well not care for the game

  197. game star

    every body need to calm down, this game was amazing. THere are a few things i would change, like mutiplayer, more assassinations, andless glitches. But come on this game was amazing. Espescially the story line, and im sure # 2 will be even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  198. Whatever

    I LOVED the historical accuracy of this game…who cares if he can’t swim?! Most people probably didn’t know how to swim anyways, and the heavy armor drags you down. How about YOU try swimming with weapons and leather armor…clothing gets pretty heavy by itself, just add that on why don’t you? I’m pretty sure that AC2 will have more Desmond and less, if none at all Altair in it. And did ANYONE notice that Desmond says hes an ex-assasin?! no? well you missed that part when you weren’t paying attention to the plot LOL! well whatever~ I hope Desmond gets flashbacks from the bleeding affect so we can play as the hot Altair ;D (yes I’m a girl ^^;) and did you notice the way he walks? lol he wiggles his butt XDDD its so funny to watch…anyways~ IF they do have Altair and the crusades or whatnot I hope that we get more gore…like removing of limbs is good :D and I think Altair needs to get blood on his clothes…like in Tomb Raider Anniversary where when she gets wet you can actually see her dripping wet until she like drys off over time…I think the blood could fade over time :3 and they need to make the guards smarter XD I mean sitting on a bench as they pass? come on XD and killing another guard next to them stealthly and they don’t notice? LOL! The missions were also repetive I agree with that~ OH and I wanna see this Adha chick…I heard shes in the DS version so I’m going to buy that, but I hope shes Altair’s love interest :D so they should add her in AC2 (if youre wondering who Adha is…I don’t know BUT an informer in Damascus says “Any news of Adha since she left? No? Well, I’m sure you’ll find her someday.” this is from memory but I’m pretty sure its 100% accurate XD). Now about all your ideas…I think they are unrealistic…seriously XD.
    1) please no multiplayer…MAYBE co-op but since I’m almost friendless I would like that to be ex-cluded please. There are plently of other online games and multiplayer ones….just buy those XD and anyways Altair works alone…remember in the begining? hes terrible at teaming up with people.
    2)Robin Hood?! wtf? Altair is an arrogant person I don’t think he really cares about individual people only about them as a whole…this isnt green peace or whatever XD its assasins killing for the GREATER good.
    3)crossbows and long range weapons is a no no…I think the throwing knives are enough since the assassin arts require stealth and getting close to youre target not sniping. PLUS they wanted to make a public display of it AND they needed proof that they did it, thats where the white feather comes in.
    4) PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ALTAIR CUSTOMIZABLE…maybe a variety of weapons…but thats IT!
    5)I like the idea that someone above me made about picking out people to listen in on…and get useless or useful info from them…and like talking to merchants and stuff lol (I’ve always wanted to listen in on what those guards were talking about lol X3) and maybe more pickpocketing…and IF you get money from it maybe you could bribe people for info? you know?
    6)I know Altair should blend in more…but it still is just a game…I just think something like a bounty should make you way more noticable so like…you gotta…avoid guards and stuff XD I dunno…and more monk/scolars please lol I would rather have to try to keep up with them and maybe have them follow me a bit so I can get them to get me past stuff instead of having to try to throw a guy off a building to distract the guards, although its amusing trying to push a guy off without getting caught, its pretty hard…for me at least
    7)going inside buildings would be kool! to like hide and sh!t. :3 but not all buildings I’m sure that would be asking too much. and please no killing people in thier sleep D:< thats SO impolite XD jk jk thats a ninja thing not the brotherhoods or whatever they called themselves…they WANTED people to know they did it :D
    8) I heard someone complain that the buildings were all the same or whatever. well OF COURSE they were…just look in your neighborhood…the buildings all are pretty much shaped the same..except you might find more color but thats it! you can’t expect too much vareity there…geez D:<

    and WOAH is this getting long…so I guess I’ll end it with this lol ^^ and please…no ninjas I’ve had enough of people telling me about Naruto I think this game is fine being Middle Eastern/English rather than Asian. We have Ninja Gaiden or whatever its called for that!

  199. Whatever

    for the people that complained about the ending…did you ever read about consipracies and groups of people like the illuminati and sh!t planning to take over the world? no? well I thought that the ending was kinda simular to that…In my opinion..so whatever it got me really excited about AC2 since I’m learning about the end of the world XDDD
    jk but I love reading about conspiracies or however you spell it XD
    oh and I bet hardly any of you actually decoded everything :P

  200. Cowin

    Okay here is my suggestion.
    Assassin is completely correct about everything he says. Night time would be nice, Inside invironment would be nice as well

    The thing i would add to the shopping for armor and weapons would be that you could be able to costomize them. Instead of just buying weapons and armor that the store makes for you. You could make your own sword (have parts that you can switch so that you have a different hilt or blade.) As well as switching the color of what you wear.

    When you are walking around in the open with a White hoody and some weird cloths and blades all over your body, you’d think that the guards would get a little more suspicious. I mean, you dont see anyone else in the game that has swords on them other than guards. I believe that picking out clothes for yourself that could cover your weapons. Even change the color to try to fit into the croud a bit more.

    Something else that might be nice would be a Level system, so you can pick off a characters name, if its a he she. What stats you want to put points into. So you could start out with a character that has really good stealth but bad assassination skills. It would help the game be a little more diverse.

    To add on to this. You should be able to talk to people and choose what you say to them or what actions you take such as beat someone up or giving the poor some money.

    The only thing i didn’t like about the game was it was just to much of the same thing. only three cities, with saving people, killing people, climbing buildins. It needed a bit more. Even though this sounds a bit lame, they could do things like chasing someone down who saw you. Also, after killing a bunch of people and the civilians run away yelling “Hes a murderer” The guards need to react and chase you instead of standing there. So if you switched to another set of clothing then they wouldn’t be able to find you as easily.

    Thats just my contribution to the whole “ideas” mess

  201. Cowin

    btw, i know you all are saying “i disagree with the clothing mess because it would take away from this game and change it into every other game” i disagree with you. This game doesn’t give your character enough freedom. If you dont want clothing, shopping, money, everything. Then the game just gets boring because there isn’t a whole lot to do other than assassinate, save people, eavesdrop, beat up, climb building for better views and pickpocket. Its just boring after a while.

  202. Larva

    Anyone else notice that Lucy looks very much like Elle from Heroes?

    And that Desmond sounds alot like Nathan Drake from Uncharted?

    hmmmm…

  203. iwastemylifeplayingvideogames

    AC2 should take place somewhere in medieval europe or something. Instead of Israel. It’d be alot more interesting and yes they should add a weather system like snow,rain.wind, and etc. and night and day time settings. I understand Ubisoft spent alot of time on the graphics, but they spent so much they forgot about all the rest of the important details if they’re going to make an AC2 they should take their time. Id rather wait a long time and get what i paid for than wait just a few months and get some more crap.

  204. JaMasterGunner

    All the points that people said after my last post is exactly correct. It’s an amazing game and adding armor and bows, which assassin’s rarely used, would just be pointless. But they should add indoor environments, not for the assassinations, but for another way of escaping the crowd, like with the merchant stands, or something like that. If they added more things to do around the city and kingdom, besides search for flags kill templars and find viewpoints, that’d be pretty cool. Maybe put in more cities and more than nine targets because then the second game is short like this game. I think it would be amazing if they had more weapons and maybe the ability to snap peoples necks, yes the hidden blade is cool and the high profile kills never get old, but wouldn’t that be really cool.
    I am a huge assassin’s creed fan and I’m not dissing it in any way besides it’s length. I’m just hoping that the hot producer of AC1 will read this and choose to add the points of interest that people want, I know that if they add to much than this game would like be the elder scrolls games then AC wouldn’t be unique.

  205. JaMasterGunner

    Cowin’s idea about the level system would be really stupid to add to this game. It’s not an RPG. It’s a social/stealth game. I also doubt that there were female assassin’s during this time since women were nothing but sleeping with.
    I also read through whatever’s very long post. She makes some valid points. How Altair is not Robin Hood and he only works alone, whoever says that there should be co-op needs to play the game again and turn the volume up really loud so they can hear his team and him fighting that they need to work together and he keeps saying that he works alone.
    I heard that AC2 will take place in Japan, is this true, anyway we already have a couple ninja games: naruto, ninja gaiden, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and more that I can’t name off right now. Having AC2 set in Japan would make it just like those and completely devaite from AC1 and be boring, in my opinion.

  206. X

    Jack Goodman WAY up there^^ are u stupid? what do you mean an assassin doesn’t get paid? do you think he kills the target and then goes back to working at McDonalds. of course he gets paid he just knows not to show off his money or else he gets caught? and i think assassins creed 2 needs to have desmond fighting his way out of the building using skills he gained in the animus, then getting caught and forced to help the templars, then when he finds the pieces of eden, and is released, has to fight his way out with the last of the holyorder as they show to rescue him. that orr…..he tells lucy to break the machine so his mind is permenantly stuck inside the animus keeping the locations a secret, and letting him continue to save the world one life at a time

  207. Syeef

    There are no kids in the cities or kingdoms. Would have been more realistic with kids.

  208. lito

    i think ac2 shuld take place in modern times so there wuld be more ways to kill like sniper ur enemy or drive-by or burn the house wit the target inside there wuld also be more ways to get entel like tapping into phone lines or sumthin

  209. lito

    assassin’s creed is an awsome game the short blade kill is awsome an so is pushin gaurds of biuldings

  210. Leno

    I really agree with everyone, one if the main things that bores me the most is that there is no nighttime anyone else feel thesame?

  211. blargh.

    one problem i had with ac is that i was trying to get the achievment for killing all targets with full synchonization and if i screwed up id have to let the guards kill me or jump in water to start at my last “memory.” a “load last memory” option, if you will.
    oh and a FREAKING CROSSBOW.
    there is NO WAY TO GET IT.
    i have 100% completion and yet no crossbow?
    so if you read any guide it will tell you theres not one in the game.
    if they do they lie.
    later in devolopement they decided to REPLACE the crossbow with the throwing knives.
    also JAMESTOWN?!
    a MUSKET!?!
    WHEN HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF AN ASSASSSIN USING A FREAKING MUSKET!?!?
    YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET RIGHT UP TO THE GUY TO EVEN HIT THEM!

  212. blargh.

    P.S. to cowin.
    Altair shopping would kill the game.
    can you REALLY picture him walking in a clothing store trying something on and then paying someone with the gold he earned assassinating?! (also your both right about the gold, assassins that are in a clan like Altair was dont get payed, but freelance assassins do, but in the next game seeing as how Altair’s master got killed he could get payed in the next one taking up freelance assassinations)
    i mean armor sure but not clothing.
    maybe Desmond. MAYBE.
    also i like most of your ideas, save the Robin-Hood one.
    i think that would kill the mood in the game as well.

  213. xbox name BLADE ASSASSIN

    assassins creed 2 is going to involve all of this and more intersting assassinations, i know one of the ubisoft game developers and he sais assasins creed is just a WORM UP FOR NUMBER 2

  214. junta

    assassination in a broad daylight? damn, if i was the assassin, i would prefer to attack at night…

  215. I Call For Change

    hello all, i know some may think that my ideas are stupid or whatever but just hear me out and think about it…
    1.) The Saving system sucks so it needs to have a instant save.
    2.) Multiplayer… Have it like army of two which has computer AI in multiplayer but are only there to slow each team down… so heres what im thinking… two teams of assassins do missions either to assassinate someone while the other team is trying to protect that person or control an area for designated amount of time(king of the hill) or just have a team deathmatch.
    3.) I think everything should be customizable except for color of robes, and implement day/night and have an auto-switch for color of robes related to time of day.
    4.) oh and just thought of it, but itd be cool if u cud use a shield that u cud use as an assassination weapon, like to cut off someones head if u thrust it at them, or as a protection against archers or if u keep it on ur back from rear attacks

  216. FreeRunner

    For a game based around freerunning the running isnt too free. When you run up a wall and cant reach anything to grab onto where’s the backflip. the climbing should be more artistic. In AC2 the climbing jumping and running needs more art invoved like real parkour.

  217. Hello

    Ok well heres how i feel. all these suggestions to changes in the game are too big. all this game needs are some minor changes like some of you have mentioned. for example, different weather conditions, being able to swim, indoor environments, etc. i also like the idea suggested by freerunner, it would be nice if character’s actions (not just climbing and running) were more animated. also, you guys need to stop complaining about the weapons and clothes in the game. the people who made this game didn’t just say “hey lets make an awesome assassination game” where you would be able to dominate with bow and arrows and grappling hooks and shields and chains with blades? these assassins were real, the developers researched what assassination was like during this time, especially for this specific group of assassins. they didn’t use shields or bow and arrows etc. the developers were just making this game as real as possible, therefore they allowed you to only use weapons that assassins actually used and which is also why the “hidden blade” was used so much. this goes for everything assassins did, not just the weapons they used. the only complaints i had were that the game got a LITTLE too repetative for me, but i think a couple minor changes would help that alot. Multiplayer would totally kill it for me, idk about you guys. Maybe just online for like an “assassination deathmatch” or somethin, but definatly no co-op. these games are meant to let u experience the lives of individual assassins and what it would have been like for them. as for the next game MAYBE taking place on yonaguni, i think that would be a very kool change. some of you feel that it would take away from the AC1 aspect, but then u don’t really know what the game was about. the game (or the first one at least) is all about abstergo trying to find important artifacts. it just so happened that the first game was about finding one of the artifacts that was in Europe, but being an assassin in medieval times isn’t what the game is ABOUT, so you shouldn’t be complainin about where the next game might take place, its all just about finding these artifacts. haha, now that i think about it, ALL these suggestions might not even be used at all. if the next game doesn’t take place in an ancient city in europe then alot of these won’t even be possible haha. if in fact the next game does take place on an island then i guess we should be concerned about being able to swing from vines and making every tree climbable =P i joke i joke.

  218. nameless

    also, remove the flags and the repetitive tasks, i think the achievements should be more like “throw a guard into another, knocking both off of a roof” or “climb to the highest point in the game” etc
    also, about the people; they don’t seem to like the leaders much, so i think it would be better if the more people who knew you then the more they would help, like crowds parting to let you through and then blocking the guards
    since that would act like the vigilantes, maybe they could have weapons and actually fight the guards, or gather some information for you

    but seriously… way too many flags, i just spent 2 days getting all the flags in the kingdom (10 hours a day) and im not looking forward to getting the rest

    the templars should also be more like commanders for the guards, like there are less of them and when you kill them the guards should run away or something

    and i REALLY want the guards to stay dead, maybe have like a counter for how many are left in the city (the targets would have their own personal guards though)

  219. nameless

    also, multiplayer would be good, split screen as well as XBL, some maneuvers would need too much coordination to do online

  220. rob

    i think assassins creed 2 needs online, somehow lol =P

  221. ladderlover

    i think one thing that it needs is you should be able to stop the gaurds from following you, such as like pushing down ladders after you climb up, or pushing citizens in there way, also crates, boxes or other objects, in there way, and co-op would be madd cool, and maybe some reaaly high eagle point, ones that end in you assassinating someone that would be radical

  222. ewok

    They need more thematic elements during the game… too bland at times. You should also be able to swim, and get hired for assassinations by diferent people. And there needs to be a HUGE battle close to the end

  223. startrekcoolguy

    ok, I think that the whole game was pretty good. The graphics were great and i liked the plot line because it set up for a second game. The funny thing was, I could survive 40ft. drops but i couldnt swim in knee deep water. I think the guards were a little bit to tough as in they would climb up the buildings and crap. It turns out a lot of the characters in the game that are noticable such as the drunks, the soldiers, and the guys you pickpocket knives from can also climb and jump. I was playing the assassination at the docks about two hours ago and i laughed my ass off when i saw one of the drunks jumping from boat to boat coming after me. I hope the second game doesnt turn out to be gta with a free running ability because thats what it sounds like it will turn out to be… Anyways i liked that i got so many achievements and they werent hard at all. I think the letters on the floor at the end of the game were word finds. When Lucy says that there were people sent to the desert and they didnt find anyone but she THOUGHT that his parents escaped, she probably helped them escape. This will probably cause a reunion in the second game… Anyways cant wait for AC2! startrekcoolguy

  224. Phenom

    Well here are my ideas:

    1. The Chase…. even leading out the city to chase on horse when a target tries escapes in a carriage or horse. If the target escapes, the target can even escape to another city or small village where you will try to track his wherabouts with eagle vision (searching for footsteps, handprints, target’s personal items dropped etc.)asking questions from people in the local areas. Makes the game more versatile in assassin missions. It may take longer to finish off a target, while Altair is off to kill the other targets on his list, he can run into the target that escaped him from a previous mission that failed and finish him off…

    2. There should be an arrow or knive control when you throw or shoot ur bow or knife…when Altair reaches full sync he will be able to control and curve whatever he throws or shoots like the PS3 game “Heavenly Sword”.

    3. He should have a pet/companion,such as an eagle or a street boy to help him find highest points, track targets, distract guards, search and find special/important items and have a option to see the whole city in a bird’s point of view.

    4. Altair can swim. swimming under bridges ,under water even and passes that lead into castles. but have a thing that limit how long he can hold his breathe.

    5. More realsitic moves like kicking sand into a guard’s face and using the enviroment like knocking over ladders, maket stands to slow down guards that chase u. a slick sliding move to go through obstacles that are too low to run through.

    These are cool ideas that could incorporate into the next game that I don’t think that were mentioned from previous posts.

  225. chaz0395

    instead of being altair in number 2, they should make u be the person who writes the blood on the wall! u no at the end when he uses eagle vision and reads the wall etc. u should be that person. the animus should take u somewhere different, different time, diferent terrain etc! trust me that wud be awesome. maybe desmond/altair could be involved somehow but i recon my idea is the best. btw i recon they shud make the climbing faster and stuff, let u have the crossbow u have in that beggining cut scene, that wud be awesome. i could say altair climbs better than bloody spiderman!! anyway reply if u agree, or sumin like that.

  226. Phenom

    Just more ideas to innovate AC2 or AC3:

    A place in each city/town to change clothes, equip items to customize what use for each mission. Maybe a citizen that you save offers their home as a place of refuge.

    Mini games that u can play like knife throwing, Archery competition, horse racing.

    A glyde ability in addition or modification on Altairs’ uniform. The more ability points on glyde will make him glyde for a longer period of time.

    Guard dogs should be in the game.

    Decapitions(heads&limbs)even when riding on horse, strangling, sufacating, drowning, snapping necks, skewering, poisoning are always cool ways to assassinate or kill off guards or a move that deflects a strike from a guard that kills another guard next or behind Altair, leaping over people when being chased would be cool too…


  227. You’re all stupid, Altair’s clothes was his unifrom for the assasins? it represents them. Thats what they were known for a white hood. Not a black jacket and some jeans. Taking place in modern times would be stupid, you might as well be playing hitman or splinter cell you tools. The weather idea sounds awesome. Buying armor? what for he already could take 8920137 blows from a swordsman, and i dont think a skilled assasin needs a lot of weapons? This game was awesome, nothing wrong with it, maybe a lil more gore and a ending, thats it. if you want weapons go play GTA and shut up

  228. kodymohns

    i would like to be able to customize your character and your weapons

  229. H8full

    All of you are Funny!!!! um i could add some things they would be;better fighting , like when you hit some one with the sword there still alive maybe two hits would be realistic and wuts up w/the gore I mean chopp off a limb will yah!? And learn too swim . And every thing took place during the day i mean not every assassiantion happens in broad day light like come on!?Escapes should be more easy oh yeah and less of those retartad people in the back alleys that push you all the time i just end up getting

  230. dnt H8

  233. Desmond

    they took the crossbow out so it would be more historicly accruate and grapling hooks r u on drugs they didnt have grapling hook in the crusades

  234. a guy

    i think it would be cool if there were multiplayer where you were both assassins but you looked like normal civilians so it would be hard to spot the other one and you were both goin after the same guy so like if the other guy got him you would have to kill him before he got back or you could both try to kill eac other. also i think it would be cool if there were more weapon variety. i also think it would be cool if there were actually night and day like it changed slowlty like in real life but alot faster like every 20 min or actually seasons with snow and fall or something. or you could like steal stuff from people walkin along and make customized weapons like a hiddin crossbow somehow or something..

  235. Mr. X

    I disagree with number 4. It would quickly be boring to fight indoors, and hard to escape(if needed). It’s a cool game, but you always do the same. Counter (if fighting), steal/beat up guys for info. And it’s always same way of fighting a boss. They are impossible to sneak attack! should be possible (with planning, of course).

  236. Chris

    While I understand your point of view on weapons, I highly suggest reading more about the creed itself known as Hashashiyyin. Learning more about ti will show you what type of weapons the “assassins” can use in combat. It all really depends on when the game’s story will take place – Desmond’s time or the past.

    As for the rest, I’d definitely like to see more interactions with the cities and towns whether it be indoor or outdoor. Also, the glitches were definitely a problem. Mostly occuring during loading screens or when you attack archers on top of buildings in an odd position.

  237. Gingy

    The first game was pretty awesome the ending was fine, here are a few things i think would improve Assassins Creed 2

    1.Indoor combat and storyline

    2.different ways to kill/fight, combo and counter kills are all the same

    3.new weapons

    4.being able to choose your weapons at the beginning of a mission

    5.Diversity of submissions, truthfully, it was the same old thing over and over, eavesdropping and pickpocketing, never change

    6.Allies to help you fight

    7.A target you can actually find roaming the city before the ancestors memory in acessed

    8.different faces around the city

    9.disguises for missions that can be used to more easily access the area where the target is located

    10.longer story line with more diverse missions

    11.The warning bell, honestly, would not be rung the second your target was killed, it needs a delay

    12.near the end, a large battle with an army behind Altair, instead of the normal 100 on 1

    13.being hired for assassination by different people

    14.befriending people around the city, such as save the citizen

    15.more things to do outside the animus (what are those mysterious things on the wall?)

    16.continuation into the remaining assassings outside the animus, such as the doctors assistant

    17.unlocking the room in the lab

    18. new environments such as the city where you chase down your final target (before al mualin)

    19.Continuation of your adventure with Dezmond (if thats his name, the guy with one arm)

    20. and last but certainly not least, pickpocketing strangers for different things

    those are 20 things i think would make Assassins Creed 2 more fun for the players, and Ubisoft, i’m sure there is already enough hype for the game(i know i sure would buy it), so please release it

  238. altair

    they should do like a customize your character thing and buy your weapons from merchants get some new colors for his cloths that would be interesting even his own house id like that

  239. Jaime’s creed

    the way the storyline goes it will probably take place in modern times.

  240. the player

    mr_cheese is rite but ther shuld be some modern time killing to i mean just going though the past u need to ad a little bit of things we can understand and nite time killing HELL YES

  241. the player

    altair is rite about it all exept the clothes his colors are good and we shuld be able to fite at nite and exit the animus and go fight out in the real world and to be able to wate to assassinate people in ther houses wuld be nice and to use the tresur wen its to hot in the midle of a big fight and control a few gaurds to figh for u and to follow u around and protect u. and wat about wars if ther culd be a war here and ther that wuld be nice i mean have two magor citys go against each other and be able to jump rite in and talk to the genral of the city u want to win and be able to fight for them.

  242. korokva117

    my friend told me that completing 100% of the game unlocks the crossbow so i wasted a few days just trying to get all of the flags and it didn’t do anything but get me 1000 gamerscore for it

  243. the player

    wow that sucks

  244. you are an idiot…..

    Did you really not pay any attention to the story line? Why would they include monetary rewards? The assasinations took place because of principle, NOT reward. Altair belived his intentions were to better life, not to nigger up enough cash to buy 22′s and Bling. Unfortunately, greed did end up being the primary function for the killings at the end. But it wasn’t over money, and none of the killings had ANYthing to do with money. Its called Assassin’s Creed, not Assasin’s Greed fool.

  245. Vilhelm

    New costume choices, a double blade ability, and some combat outside the animus.
    I want to wear that black suit so bad, and Desmound needs to kill Dr. Vidic for the final mission.

  246. crave mate

    in assasin’s creed 2 what’s that guy in the on the animus gonna be doing?

  247. crave mate

    everyone’s just really mixing assasin’s creed saint’s row 2 and fable 2 together

    but it would be cooooooooooooooooooool

  248. the player

    that wuld be awsome and a black suit so cool

  249. Judge Judy (no seriously im a guy)

    clothes + collours: no everybudy needed to know the hashsahsins had made the kill so why alter appearance. same goes for bedroom murder(no witnesses) and night time murder. more weapons ok but figure this a white robed man who doesnt want te be detected untill just before the hit comes storming foward through the crowd with a battle hammer… now something else we have you, that guy who hated you, his palls and a load of dead assassins ah duh if yer going on from that point geuss who would be the boss?? yea you which makes it more probable that youd be altair jr. anyone thought of that?? and did anyone check the glass floor just around the animus, it was NOT just that metalic bed the animus is HUGE with pipes steam and all that you cant STEAL it or anything i do like the house idea though… i hope they dont let misterm miles escape. how bout this the templars go the the friggin sites but they r all empty no pieces of eden what the crap. well was altair very old whn he found out about the pieces??? no he was 20s or 30s more then enough time to go look for every site and move the pieces(what i wouldve done) in that case they need you mr. miles to retrace the ancestors memory to see where your ancestor left the whicked stuff!!! and in part 3 WE GET TO KILL OUR GOOD FRIEND THE DOCTOR a must if you ask me… hes so annoying. again about clothing… i dont think altair (or his son) would have to represent the order even when investigating (id do it like this, wear whatever you want but when you go for the kill you have to wear yer robes) now all you whinin bout you cant sneak up on the assassination targets UR NUBS i sneaked every one xcept for 9.
    ship*climb up the back side
    hangman in jerusalem*scolars let you on the platform(2 examples)
    the most obvious way in isnt the right way in *MOST OF THE TIMES

    yours sincerely Jude Mc Mayhem (aka judge judy

  250. Judge Judy (no seriously im a guy)

    when i was talking about the guy who hates you: Malik. and i mean at the end of the story in altair style when you killed al mualim you malik and his bros are all thats left. *in the nearest surroundings anyways*
    and if altari didnt keep on doin the guild then where did the FARM at the beginning of the game come from… oh yea pay attention to dialogue!

  251. DUDE

    i agree with a lot of stuff on here but i think it whould be cool if there was like versus where u could custimize your clothing and go around and kill other people online not knowing if there normal people or assasin

  252. DUDE

    during the fight u should be able to push them on the ground and stab a throwing knife right in there eye and they should run all over the place running in to people screaming

  253. Judge Jude (no seriously im a guy)

    true but those are fighting meganics i have nothing to say on that. *still an assassin with a battle hammer would be kinda funny^^. but what i say is, you mr assassin go around and do your investigation incognito… but when your gonna make the kill your representing the assassins again and so you must but in your robes! why wear different clothing during investigations?? well i myself found during hte game, that it wouldnt be THAT hard to track me down i mean i kill dozens of guards only for the save citizen quests… people saw me all over the place &HE S A MURDERER (even if all i did was fall of a roof and climb up again wtf) and it aint that hard to discribe you; white robes with a pointy hood little knives all over the place a big sword and some huge dagger… also has a HUGE belt. oh my who could it be i bet its a peacefull pilgrim…

  254. DUDE

    1 thing about the whole buying armor thing your an assassin not a knight you need to move fast and jump from building to building not be slow with some heavy armor on

  255. DUDE

    To all the people who want to go outside the building and fight and stuff those scientist and the people there working for kid napped you there not just going to let you go fight guys and then come back but I do think that you should at least escape from that place find the guy there working for and take out his men and kill him in the 3rd 1

  256. Judge Jude (no seriously im a guy)

    armor isnot restricted to metal and some light metal armour does exist (see minimal use of ringmail for example) and leather. if you look at altair in the first game you ll see that hes wearing heavy leahter gloves and boots. (and im sure there is some stuff under that robe too) so armor isnt that bad as long as you keep it kinda assassin like.
    furthermore AGAIN you should be able to redress for examination. say if it where to happen that the good friends at ubi mont decide to put anotehr 12 save citizen missions in the new game, that it would not be like you bein in assassins garb doin that stuff. id go for rags (some beggar aproaches a guard and stumbles, the guard dies and suddenly the rest does too) all im sayin is that you should be recognised in assassin garb so the assassination ll be even thougher cos you gotta like kill everything in your way not to get caught, and your not gonna walk in assassin garb all day doin bad deeds!

  257. DUDE

    RE:on my versus idea i think it should be like you can be the assassins or the knights (and the knights should have other weopons not just a sword) still some civilians where you can leave like a trail of dead bodies and if the people your versing follow the dead bodies you and the people your playing with (on your team) could ambush them and you could run around the city fighting each other sneaking up behind people killing them with the hidden blade and also maybe some kind of catapult and one of those big hooks tied to a rope that you can throw on the roof of a building if its to high to climb and also maybe that cross bow depending on the actual time period of the game

  258. DUDE

    i don’t think it will take place in the modern day not until like maybe the 3rd game or something

  259. DUDE

    i think it would be cool to be able to swim and pull gaurds in the water and make them drown but people think of that time period year 1191 who is going to know how to swim think about your ideas more before you start saying what you want to be in ac2 or any other game!!

  260. Judge Judy (no seriously im a guy)

    oh lol i killed al mualim in 2 strokes!!! with sting!!! was like hey im all boss and i was like ok attack me and he was like ok and i was like counterkill and then he fell. kinda dumb for a grand master of assassins to fall so easy

  261. Judge Judy (no seriously im a guy)

    what nonsense is that why would people around 1191 not know how to swim thats nonsense! ok the water was very dirty and no one went to the beach but hey i betcha htat any kid in a fishers village would at least know how to swim!!! and i see no reason why a guy who grew up in the arabic area with loads of nice clean water around him, could not have learned how to swim… tottaly no if hes an assassin…
    and i dont think there should be a thing such as a versus mode, could really screw up the game (like everyone does it according to the book at first but then htey find out its tottaly imbalanced or whatever and well yea it screws up the game)
    -jude

  262. DUDE

    If there was a versus mode alot more people might play the game like in halo most people only play versus or get bored when they beat the game so they play versus

  263. Jimjam

    I want to see an Assassins Creed game set in Feudal Japan. I want to see some Samurai and Ninjas fight off a different guy’s ancestor.

  264. jake

    1. I love the idea of a multiplayer system, or co-op. Say you have a bounty on your head and want to get rid of it, have your friend turn you in and collect the bounty and then help you escape.

    2. The new splinter cell game that’s coming out allows you to throw tables, coffee cups, etc. at bad guys, I’d like to see this system applied to AC2.

    3. Cool animations that help you escape a guard, like you’re running away from a guard on a roof, and then you jump off the edge and grab a window ledge below and crash inside, or something like that.

    4. A money system would be good, so you can bribe guards, civilians etc. or play robin hood (good suggestions). Maybe if you give money to a peasant, then they let you hide in their house, or use it as a changing room to help blend in with the crowd.

    5. When you escape from the guards, don’t have it be something like jumping in the hay, or sitting on a bench, make it a little more clever and engaging.

    6. Make those saved citizens more useful, if you save a strong young man or woman, maybe recruit them to be assassins, or at least make a small force to carry out distractions and perform tasks for you, make friends and enemies (rival assassins anyone?)

    7. Environmental death, like pulling a guy above you off the roof to his death below.

    8. Definite change in time of day for more assassination variety.

    9. More gory/ realistic kills, it doesn’t have to be a shower of blood, as long as if I cut a guy’s arm, I see an arm on the ground. Work for that M rating.

    10. I liked how the guards ran away if they knew they were screwed. It’d be nice if they could surrender to you and you could do something to pass judgement on them, kill them in cold blood which reflects badly on you, or allowing them to live and maybe getting them to join you.

    Overall, that’s what I want from AC2, and everything everyone else has added. Cheers.

  265. Jeff

    I only read about the first fifteen comments, but then I saw a comment from apple saying how we shouldn’t critisize. Due to the fact that they worked so hard on it. When really, the creaters would probably love to hear what we the consumers want. So they can improve to are likings

  266. Rawa/iraq

    i like it

  267. dude

    i agree with jeff to many comments and most of these ppl have no life

  268. creedlovinjew

    so many great ideas. although i have heard the new game is 15th century italy. your person is in the same family line though. name is ezio. means eagle (think eagle screeching during leap of faith. altair means flying by the way). i have no idea about the present day and desmond in that game. would love to hear about it if anyone knows. and also does anyone know the projected release date?

  269. Jordan

    I would like to see some economy based trading system with vendors. I’m not asking for Diablo style vendors maybe it could be utilized to slowly introduce new weapons but It would be nice to beable to earn/steal/spend money.

  270. Jay

    Your all forgetting one thing… Altair will not be in AC2. We all know Assassins Creed is a trilogy right? If you pay attention to the first game there is a big clue to the 2nd and 3rd installments. The achievement for completing the first game is “The EAGLE And The APPLE”. AC2′s main character is EZIO (Italian for EAGLE). And as for the APPLE, I think we can all expect a modern day game for AC3, based around the company and The Apple in the US. As for AC2 there need to be less glitches, less shite mini missions, more assassinations and better assassinations as well.

  271. Baconious

    In general, I would go with apple. Some of the suggestions are just pushing it for this type of game. I could see a multiplayer for two player co-op possibly working, but when you start putting in versus, your starting to change what type of game it is. I will agree that they probably could have done a bit more for weapons, but clothes seems a bit much. Maybe in the second it could work since it isn’t Altair, but changing clothes would really go against the idea of trying to blend in with the crowd of people.
    I loved the first game, though, one thing I just find a bit off, and it might just be me, is that fact that when it came down to guards catching you for something, it was more fun just to kill them all until they stopped coming rather than run away.

  272. sharpie1010

    i think it should carry on from the last one cos we don’t even know if desmond got away from abstergo or not and i think the different weapons and armor is a good idea

  273. adnan

    i think that assassins credd 2 need one more somthing it needs new cities

  274. brandon

    Something I think would make this game cool is making co-op an option and maybe IF possible multi-player

  275. brandon

    i agree about the haysack thing but, you can sit on benches to escape too =o not just the haysack,

  276. Will

    The last suggestion is a bit too out thre for my liking…but your points on weapons and increased interactivity with environments hit the nail on the head. I think they also need night time missions. I can just imagine how freakin sweet free running around one of those cities at night would be. Damn.

  277. alex

    i was hoping for a modern day assassination type game but apparently its going to be set in the 16th century in Venice. The main character is Ezio and apparently you can swim and use gun powder. as for the ranking system, i think that it would be cool if they made a multi player mode where there was one assassin and three or four other guys trying to defend a target or something along those lines. multiplayer would be a lot more fun.

  278. alex

    oh and btw the projects projected release date is in march 2010 so it’ll be a while

  279. justin

    I think, more than anything, you should be able to swim, which you can do in AC2. Other than that, I think your ideas are pretty terrible, except indoor environments, and more city interaction. Whoever said night time in the comments, that seems like a cool idea.

  280. AC2ooooo

    Hi
    It comes out in Nov 2009
    In AC2 it should take on some characteristics from ‘Oblivion’ :)

  281. BlackPheet

    one thing tht would be cool if AC2 had GTA IV online style. hav diff types of online lik free play territories a game where u defend a place online. it goes from 1-16 ppl for all types. for territories 12 guards 4 assassins. team deathmatch. all kinds of things

  282. REAL FAN

    first of all to all the people saying use bows and crossbows are retards. the hassassins did not use arrows or poisen, so then shouldn’t be in the game. dumbasses. tomottow game informer will release some crazy info on assassin’s creed 2. so just wait. Most of the people here are dumbasses, don’t listen to them. but at least you can find some good info on here. Ubisoft just keep doing what ur doing with AC2 but make sure that the hidden blades have more assassination kills and counters. everything will be good. i know it says winter 2009, but if u can finish the game b4 please ship it out in November. just like the first game.

  283. gribble

    this was a really good game BUT it needs some changes for one the gaurds chase you way to easily.. i was simply walkin thru the street hadnt killed any1 or knocked any one over and then suddenly i have 10 ppl around me batting me back and forth between swords… another thing this game needs is more climbing deatail and control i would run up the side of a building and grab a ledge when i figured i couldnt go any more up and tried to move slighty to the side of the building altiar leaped from the wall and plumeted to his death but all in all a good game

  284. bullshit

    the game has no replay value i my opinion. i returned it within 3 days although it was fun while it lasted

  285. chips

    well you were able to assasinate a lead major person without fighting them its just EXTREMELY hard lol
    i cant remeber which assasination it was, but there was a guy in a open roof quarter surrounded by guards with archers all around on different buildings able to warn if anyone approached, so you gotta kill all the archers
    then move along the upper left hand top rim of the room take out the archer on the oppisite corner with knives (which is hard cuz u gotta wait for the right time and no ones looking at him and hes turned away kill the archer (hell fall backwards if hit with throwing knifes so he falls on outside of the room so no one knows he died) then u have to time ur running so the guard in the room wont turn around and see u and your main target is in the corner, go above him drom behind him (which is also hard to do) then kill him,
    if u approach wrong ull get that assasin its on kinda scene and have to fight,
    but most assasinations are force though which isnt cool
    OO and the one at the sick hospitol u can also get without fighting even tho its super hard

  286. Karidi

    I think all of you need to keep in mind that they are trying to make a unique game… Everything alot of people are asking for, like changing clothes and going to japan (wtf?) Just go play Tenchu Z. There you can pick all that crap and go in buildings and stuff. If you want to change your clothes and make Altair a Ninja, just play Tenchu. And to the people complaining that the guards are just as fast as Altair, well YEAH.. they’re GUARDS.. they spot an ASSASSIN, of course they are going to chase you up buildings! That’s their jobs! Why wouldnt they?

  287. suggestion

    AC1 is and good game, properaly one of the most high quality games to be release in 2007. the game was great fun to play, but i agree with the lack of inveraction, the free running was something new at which i instantly loved, but that itself can get boring, especially when all the cities are pretty much the same just with different skins.
    reading all the suggestions and must haves and mustn’t have and mainy have valid points. some are outraged by the critizisme but seriously chill these opinions could make the game better for you and ubisoft. only recently they released PoP, if they mix some of the free running with AC2 and more weapons variety, and include a wider selection of killing and not just with assassination. i got so tired of the lack of teh ablitiy to be creative in the missions that i just ended up killing them all with throwing knifes, once i got them of course. (but the idea of pickpocketing thugs to get them was realistic, instead of having an infinte amount. but it would of been better if you could take more than that, like some knuckle dusters those would have been fun against a guard or two)
    i know not to expect all this from the game but it would be great if it was more creative and to include at least some of these improvements.

  288. beat game four times

    ac1 was a great game if it was so bad then y did i delete it from my 360 hardrive then start all over EXPLAIN THIS TO ME IF THE GAME WAS HORRBLE THEN Y DO I KEEP ON REPLAYING THE GAME. but i do agree it needs live

  289. chris

    Ok well first your a retard,second i dont want a futureistic game.I mean come on if you want future play fallout 3,not ac.Next I personally love the level system,but its not for this game.I do want more wepons and more ways to kill people,the only way i got to choose to kill someone was jump down and fight every1 around the person.Next please dont advertise wepons you cant use,I played for a long time lookin for that stupid bow.Also i liked the cool robe he wore,but it does get kinda old.WHY ALL OF THE FREAKIN FLAGS,thats way too hard to get and why waste your time lokin for all of the flags,no point.Last im gonna put,please,if i wanna play the game after ive beaten it,dont make me start a lvl again.

  290. vamp89

    i liked the first assasin creed it was fun i do agree it would be cool to be more like oblivion rather than one straight base but i just usally went around and just killed random people for fun so its not all bad but i agree that there should be more freedom and not a single minded base game but the robin hood thing i dont think that would add to the koolness but hey every one is different

  291. grey

    chris…there is in fact a point to all the godforesaken flags. when u collect them all u CAN get the bow. I know it is a very lenghty task but well worth it :)

  292. Mad Jack

    the 2nd ac is set in the italian renesance u dont play as altier eather

  293. matt0796

    hey matt0796 is my xbox live gamertag send me a friend request i will accpect. sorry about my spelling. well check out game informers website they came out with like 5 pages worth of stuff i believe it takes palce in 1496 and u do not have a croosbow but 2 hidden blads and u can pick up guard weapons and swim which is nice and im not sure if it is live though i will get back to u guys on that though

  294. matt0796

    it does have live not sure what it is going to be like and heard it will be realased sometime around the holiday season go pre order this at your local gamestop it will be a hit and will be sold out really quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  295. matt0796

    sorry about all comments in one night just researching and finding out new things. the game comes out 11/17/2009 and they have what the cover looks likes type in assassins creed 2 into gamestops website rating is still pending but all know it will be mature im so pre ordering it correct me if im wrong which im not and tell me more too in your comments

  296. The Rabbit

    Assassins Creed 2 is going to take place in Florence, Italy with an entirely different storyline. The main character will have to learn how to become an assassin while using his social skills as well. I’m really looking forward to it. Google it if you have to.

  297. anton

    god list but a online feature would be awsom. somthing like a free for all would be hilarios 16 assassins all charging up to eachover with diferent wepons. and also i wouldnt mind being able to pick up dead guys wepons (aswell as the already installed disarm) and i would LOVE a bow and arrow

  298. hi

    even though the person for AC2 is already set maybe i a third one you can completly customize him like in fallout three and oblivion

  299. hi

    k i found out his name is Ezio

  300. hi

    if any of u didn’t know he has two hidden blades and u CAN take away an enemy’s weapon to kill them but i don’t know if u can keep it, but a friend gets u weapons like spears, dual daggers, sword, mace, axe, etc.

  301. Denzel

    The great thing about AC2 is that you can get money and us to to buy things from Da Vinci like gadgets and upgrades. U can also hire people (hookers) to seduce targets and then you can strike. The crowds are must more alive and fluent then in AC 1. Also, double hidden blades will be sick. They also made this new A.I that checks the hiding places, hay carts not so safe now. You also get to fly this glider Da Vinci made for you. It all looks so sick. Gamespot has a couple interview/demos on their site. I’d check it out.

  302. bryant

    Yeah, I agree on the whole multiplayer thing because single player gets boring after a while and isnt your assasin a templar, cause if you watch the history chanel it tells that templars usually stay togather. and with multiplayer one assasin can distract the gaurds and you could go in for the kill that would be sweet!

  303. Online

    I think instead ofjust duals and stuff that online there should be the ability to play a =game where there are like 4-16 guards and one assassin trying to kill them all. I’d find that to be cool

  304. Online

    Also i’ve found out that there are tailors in the game that will change your clothes color and that the armor upgrades change your clothes to

  305. guardian AngeLz

    I still confused,
    Why assasins always wear a jacket?
    please help.. because I still know about assansins it self

  306. sony

    Wow! You were on point!

  307. schramm

    It’s finally came out I heard it is really good and hope to get it for christmas!!!

  308. schramm

    oh and Guardian Anglez they wear the jacket because it part of there cult and to be able to blend!? I think???

  309. schramm

    Oh and you can swim

  310. Thomas

    number 4 is not a glitch there is a trick to the Altair dream sequence.

  311. YOMAN

    hey why don’t you play wheelman or infamous
