I think Assassin's Creed 3, which I have a very, very, good feeling after playing AC2 will take place in the modern world, should make use of a system like the predatory system in Batman: Arkham Asylum when it comes to enemies armed with guns. Where you need to employ a great deal of stealth and misdirection to single out your targets then move in for the kill.

Either that or give the player equilibrium-like gun-fu, would be interesting at least although I'm less inclined to simply play an open world version of Stranglehold. I do like the melee combat focus and I think it should remain in game.

I think it would be pretty cool if you had the gunplay combat, but instead of getting up close and personal, you have to find a good spot to set up your sniper rifle, then kill the target, and run like hell so the police can't find you. Also, combat would have to be made less easy, so stealthing and hiding is encouraged. I'd play that.

I don't think you have to worry about that next game because I think it will be set in the 1700's (I seriously think France or England for some reason) and the most that would change would be Rooftop archers would change to Riflemen with muskets and maybe a few pistols. As for the few present day playble scenes as Desmond there wouldn't be that much modern day weapon action. But if you played AC2 and finished the main story...

When The credits roll and the Templar controled corporation bust down the door to your hideout all of the guards had those riot sticks to fight with...not one gun. So either this was a very low budget attack or the Templars and Assassins even in Modern Times stick to traditional means of combat against each other.

Just some food for thought.

the problem with saying that there could be no guns is that Ubisoft already introduced guns, you can clearly hear them in AC1 when the Assassins originally try to break Desmond out of Abstergo

Dont do present, do futuristic. Except the eve thing from the first game is making illusions so that guns arent working and it has caused the apocalypse or something.

That might be a good idea. It sounds a little too "Mass Effect" or "Halo," but we could have a sort of shield. Perhaps we can't fire with a gun while we use it, but that would work, I think. It's too bad Assassin's Creed isn't further into the future. If it was, we could really have fun with this idea. Oh well.

I believe it was the great Assassin Leon who said "The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn."

So, if you are to be a great assassin you wouldn't need a gun.

A Third-Person Mirror's Edge would be a nice Modern-Day Assassin's Creed. The only armament needed is a Hidden Blade, a silenced handgun, and a Sniper Rifle (Simply any gun which is used for headshots).

Now make the gameplay Sandbox-like and it might be good. You can meld in with other crowds, after using a silenced handgun, or hidden blade stab. Then climb and run again like Spiderman/Faith.

EDIT: Altair/Ezio-like hooded jacket FTW!

Assassins Creed 3 will probably have Desmond Miles has a protagonist. Playing AC2 will make it clear has to why he's gonna be the protagonist.

Bellow is the reason why, to those who don't care about spoilers
In AC2, Desmond uses the Animus in order to train has an assassins. Experiencing his ancestors memories "trains" him.

Absolutely not. Read the original post.

Nope. It's possible, but AC3 will probably be another trip back in time.

Listen to what Lucy says at the end of AC2.

I think it could be done. The new Batman game did it to a certain degree, that had bad guys with guns which you then had to take out without being seen.

Only way to make it like the other games open world would probably be like gta, but if it has you going after the artifacts then it would end up being different locales around the world instead of a few cities in the one country.

Uh, no. The creative director already said in an interview that the point of AC2 was to train Desmond to become the ultimate assassin.
The plot of the whole series is leading up to a global event in 2012(21st of december, 2012), that desmond has to prevent. It is possible that there might be certain levels involving Altair and/or Ezio via the bleeding effect, as with Altair in AC2. But at you are playing as Desmond in 2012.

I know you think that "Desmond got trained in AC2 is AC3 = 2012!!!! :D" but that's not good logic.

Listen to Lucy at the end of AC2. She says they're going to a cabin up north, and that they're going to do a little more rooting around with the memories.

While, it is possible that they will do noting major concerning that, I think that it's completely plausible that the next game will take place within the Animus. It could be both.

For starters they said they're going to go for the cabin to hide out for a bit longer, but the point of that voice over is to allow you to continue in the Animus and mess around with Ezio. Collecting Feathers and what-not.

And I think it's set in Sept 2012 because they specifically tell you in the first Assassin's Creed. It has nothing to do with what happened in AC2.

It's possible that the Animus will have some sort of involvement in the beginning of the game. Possibly as Altair and Ezio to get more key information, but I'd say the bulk and the end of the film would have you as Desmond, and the main sandbox would be modern day. That's just theory of course, but Desmond will be the protagonist.

Possible.

Maybe even likely.

However, it is not for sure.

It's probably going to be done, but not in the way you think.

They suggested a WW2 setting, but in one of the "glyphs" it is shown that General Patton has The Apple, meaning he's a templar... take a guess which side you might just be on.

*Cough* Axis *Cough*

Of course, it'd be awesome if you were playing Desmond and Ezio and Altair start bleeding through into him, resulting in them both manifesting as full personalities inside of him with him going on stabbing rampages with both characters monologing, arguing and helping him plan inside his head, too.

I am reminded of Killer 7.

That would be incredibly awesome, though. Would make for a very awesome story. Could be a little bit sad when he either succumbs to insanity like subject 16 or he has to say goodbye to Ezio and Altair.

Genius!

Also, you could be on the allies side still. In fact, you probably would be. You might have to kill your fellow allies, however.

Also, I have a feeling Patton wasn't being depicted as a Templar. Remember, Ezio uses the piece of eden. He's an Assassin. Hitler would more likely be a Templar, simply because he sought total control. He was a dictator.
