Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood teased via Abstergo Industries e-mail
31
As promised, Ubisoft has started its marketing efforts for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. An e-mail from the game's Abstergo Industries barely attempts to extend the fiction into reality, linking to a Flash-filled Ubisoft promotional website. Presumably, the teaser site provides insight into some of the weapons that may be used in the sequel's new multiplayer component, including an axe, fan, syringe, dagger and claw. (Solve the puzzle on the website to unveil yet another weapon: the switch blade.)

But we now know who you're talking to, so it's acceptable.

I've always thought it's a pretty douchey thing to say "Here's the answer to this puzzle. It's pretty simple actually" like they're god's gift to cuneiform. We get it, you're awesome and this was trivial for you.

And while I'm drinking rageahol, I'd also like to say -- what's with the spoiler on the switchblade?! I know they're marketing spoilers, but still. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Crazy pills and rageahol... not a good combination my friend.

Can't wait for this game. Multiplayer too!
Off-Topic: The whole switchblade thing reminds me of Switchblade Combs in school.

I like the Switch blade idea, but it's not nearly as practical as the Hidden blade.
Maybe throw some serrations on it, and have the majority of the damage come from retracting it while it's still in them.

Why does the phrase "digital taco" get me aroused?

Surprisingly well phrased and coherent. Shocking that this is the same man who wrote all those heavily abbreviated, grammar-less, typo-filled e-mails to Lucy....

I'm still not clear. Is this a multiplayer expansion for AC2? Or is it supposed to be AC3? Seems like a very short turnaround time for a full sequel but I dunno.

Dang! I was hoping this "Dear Andrew" letter was sent to Alexander. Perhaps he'd actually have assassinated someone.

AC2 was better then the first in gameplay but i don't like the story in either one of them. now saying this i don't think i'm gonna really bother buying anymore ( only bought AC2 Limited Edtion cause it was $30 NEW )
Posted: May 11th 2010 4:15AM (Unverified) said
So yeah is this AC3 or a multiplayer expansion of part 2??

I solved the puzzle!

the puzzle answer is shown on each weapon
the glyphs that appear then disappear need to be put in along with the glyph that is on the email that you get. I can only remember a few off of the top of my head. They are : the eye in the triangle with lines coming off it (this is in the email), the three circles, the three triangles.
