@oOBYRNEOo The crossbow was invented in China before the birth of Christ, and it certainly had made it to Christiandom (let alone the Islamic lands) by the 12th century.
It was so deadly that the Church forbade its use against Christians, since it was such an affront to chivalry -- cutting down a knight in full armour with a casual gesture! The absolute cheek! (The ban was mostly ignored, though: the advantage was simply too great to pass up.)
this was gay. i couldnt even go further into the vid cuz of some glitch so i had to watch it all to find out if something good is coming after. ALSO its shitty graphics. dont EVER put a vid like this into youtube or anywhere else in the net or chuck norris will roundhousekick your face out of ur head
see this is why i feel like the first ac was better than the second, you never really had any moments like this in the second. no real assassination missions, just vengeance on a lota dudes.
@Avankiri See the rage and hate in his first two assassinations? It was his uncle's example and his reading of that priest's assessment of Vieri that made him realise wanton vengeance would make him as evil as his prey.
Altair starts off as an arrogant prick. This costs him dearly, and he starts to question his assumptions, leading to his redemption. He comforted Abu'l Naquod ("Their words can't touch you now") and admitted to Jubair that he had been like him once -- but no more. He changes.
@Avankiri Actually, Altair did say a prayer to him when he killed him. And he closed his eyes. You just can't see him saying it because you can't see his face.
wanna know the TRUE meaning? it's derived from arabic "hashish" meaning grass or cannabis. the "hashashin" or assassins were a sect who hyped themselves into a berserk mood by smoking hashish
check the Wikipedia article on assassins, it's there! and i didn't mean i believe the historical assassins really did that, just that it's the source of the name
That's not entirely true. It's a common misconception.
"Hashashin" was essentially the misheard version of the name "Ashasyun", though the term "assassin" as we know it today is, again, the result of poor hearing or poor pronunciation of one or both names.
So. Hospitaler hears some guy mention an Ashasyun, later ends up telling his pal about "ashashin", and pretty soon the hot topic of Friday, May 12, 1187 is "assassin".
Simple bastardization of terms. Ya get what ya pay for, y'know?
Strange pronouncation mishaps and bastardization, but it's clear to me, even though 'assassin' feels better then the first name 'ashasyun'. But that's my opinion xD
why just knowing this , makes me think you have no life, and you must fucking live in your moms basement , or some shit, becuz, the fact that u "show off" your intellegence, is just plain sad, you should shoot yourself in the face, for being so stupid!
This is a cool vid, but a good assassination reuires subtlety. Idealy no one should know until they find the body. In fact, it's best if the target suddenly disappeared and was never seen again.
this is the opening video, and killing the guards dont count as part of one of the assassinations unless they are a target, or you do it without them knowing. i guess the jump stab is a fairly good assassination
false. altair killed the man because he was a target, if he was a guard, then he would have a different armor, fight by himself without calling reinforcements. and, altaiir wouldnt bother with some pesty guard the way he did with a stab and then close the mans eyes.
this is a trailer no talent and the trailer meant to make it look like the best assination so i dont know why you put that video up everyone knows its a just the dumb old trailer for assassins creed.
if you look closely, at 1:40 - 1:43 , you can easily see he walking away, he's not slow walking like teh other monks, he is fast-paced walking away, but yeah, that was sly to get lost in the crowd of monks.
this game was way better then the Tenchu's could ever be, but all in all, it was sadly a very mediocre experience...Doing the same dull mini missions over and over again just killed it
i epected some xbox frak totaly powning lyk 1000 guards in 100 seconds or something, but in stead the video we see every time we put the game in our xbox? gee thanks
no they couldnt get the mechanics in the crossbow rite so they put in throwing knives, and they didnt make the deadline so they left out this city. :( still amazing game tho
AC:ooooh no guards!!
AC2: better not let to many go after me!!
