I uploaded my first AC:B video! It's a game of Ranked Wanted with my friend James. It's nothing epic, but we had fun. We used to play Ranked Wanted every night, but since I moved to playing Assassinate almost exclusively now we never see each other. This was my first game of Ranked Wanted in quite a while!



I know I need to fix some of the annotations, will do later, but I have to go have nasty stuff done to one of my teeth in a couple of hours so it'll have to wait.

 

nice double stun at the end that got you your number 1 spot.

but how did you notice the barber at the beginning (first stun)? he was off camera. and around 3min, how did you lock on that person? whenever i try to lock on across from such massive crowd, it refuses to lock onto whoever i am hold and pointing at.

 

Cheers I won the second match by a little more. May upload that too.

The Mercenary at 02:40 ish? He was jogging towards me as I heard the whispers. I did think I'd failed to get him in my smoke at first though. Aha or the Barber at about 03:40? From where I was when the whispers started I had a feeling he'd be in that building. You just sort of start second-guessing these things after a while

Um, dunno about the Lock. Just had it open and moved it around until I got him. Needn't have bothered though I should've just killed him. Playing Assassinate helps with locking I think. Even though locking fails a lot and most noticeably fails in Assassinate, but you still get used to doing it.

 

i really suck at locking that's probably why i almost always come in last whenever i try assassinate. just can't get the joystick to work for me.... curse of PC gamer i suppose

there are also quite a few kills i would have gotten wrong if i was in that game. eg. around the middle one where your radar lit up for the smuggler, i would have gone for the left NPC you looked at first.

 

Yeah locking is a pain, and it does mess up a lot. We had matches the other night where hardly any of us could lock on to the right person despite knowing who the players were. It's probably lag-related. Most other things with this game are!

Yeah, I attempt to be sure before I move in. I'm surprised how many lures I got in that game really!

 

Another video - yay! Ranked Assassinate in Florence Night this time. It's only half the match as I didn't start recording until I realised it was going quite well. That's normally the kiss of death for my games! It's not an outstanding score, but for me on ranked it's pretty good



Yes, my music was on random while I was playing

 

that's amazing score!

what were your class setup for that match? smoke and poison for abilities it seems.

so how does the "target has exposed you" thing work in this gamemode? seems a bit random to me.

 

Thanks! I've got higher scores in Player matches, but for Ranked I'm pretty pleased with that!

Yeah, I went with Long Lasting Smoke and Slow Acting Poison. It doesn't happen in that match, but I like poison for when you come across someone standing over someone they've just punched. You can poison the person standing and kick the person on the ground. Trying to kill the person standing normally will usually result in the one on the floor getting up and killing you before you have a chance to react. I also have Wall Runner on and Resistance. Resistance just means no-one can get a focus on you while you're on the ground, it also makes killing anyone who comes along to kill the person standing above you waiting to get a focus a hell of a lot easier!

Exposing means they've locked on to you too. People were a bit slow on it in that match so I think it only happened twice. Basically as soon as they expose you, your stealth meter goes to discreet and the slightest high profile action will start a chase. As with locking on in the first place there's a 1s delay. So it's pretty annoying when you expose someone and they still get like 900pts+ for killing you

Oh, and if you start a chase with someone, they no longer show up on your compass. I think it's meant to only last until one of you dies, but sometimes it seems to last the whole match. It also randomly hides players from your compass sometimes which can make games a little harder!

 

Pretty cool videos Hex, played a bit of multiplayer on the xbox but couldn't really get into it. Although when i got the achievment to kill someone and then escape it was a pretty good feeling.

 

Cheers and you're mad! I love the multiplayer, it's the first one I've got into in a big way. Looking forward to AC: Revelations multiplayer, but if they haven't fixed a lot of the problems I will cry...

 

OK this is blocked in Germany because of a song I was playing, I need to turn the music down when I record I guess. It's nothing special, but me & SHENMUE36 were bored and played some Player Assassinate the other night. I was doing really well in the game before this, but got kicked right before the end. I'm blaming that on why I make some stupid mistakes in this game!

 

OK, it was meant to be a quad commentary on a game of Chest Capture with EscoBlades, Rainie, SHENMUE36 & myself. However, it's more just us rambling in partychat over the top of one of our games

 

PC players are bad?

to be fair, we got it 6 months after consoles, and it's a console ordinate game that has to be played on controller!

 

sorry! But yeah, compared to xbox players most of the PC players are terrible! In fairness a lot of the PS3 players seem really bad too. Even just from watching gameplay videos it's like wow... I'm glad I have it on 360!!

There's really not much of a challenge on PC. But as mine BSODs and wipes my challenges whenever I fire it up, meh. Don't play it any more.

 

Another video! This time we'd been playing Wanted for a while and one of the people in the lobby was really starting to annoy us. So before we left to find a new lobby, we decided to go SuperPRO. Basically SuperPRO rules mean the one with the most kills and fewest points wins. So expect lots and lots of gunfire!

 

Not my video this time, though I am in it. SHENMUE36 gives tips on Manhunt:

 

awesome video as always by Shenmue. and great guide, i've never thought to use high killstreaks in these gamemodes where i cannot die, since i thought getting stunned would count as a contract loss.

 

So I recently got invited to join Team 2012, which was pretty epic. To mark this occasion Shenmue has uploaded a video of what our team games are like. No, you don't really hear me, but you wouldn't over Squiiddish anyway! My induction is at the end. The language isn't work safe obviously
