No no, I'm all eager to play as Desmond, honestly, I'm curious how they'll keep it Assassins Creed without going all GTA or Splinter Cell on us, but the Assassins Creed games have been based heavily on historical context. Yes, Leonardo drew up plans for the tank, but it was -never made- in his time. There's plenty of ways to kill more than one person at a time without resorting to a tank. Personally, I'm all up for Desmond's side of the story, I think it'll probably be great, but seriously, it's logic. You can't be stealthy in a tank. Assassins Creed is mainly based on freerunning and killing someone quickly and quietly, then escaping. Sure, it's fun to go all out in an epic 100-on-one fight in a city street or city square, but that's player choice and not how Assassins work in context. I just feel that Ubisoft is simply going too far with the variety of different things, they're branching off from what makes Assassins Creed, Assassins Creed. It's that simple. I mean, other than the tank. Sure, I enjoyed the chariot escape in AC2, and so did a lot of other people, but that's the key difference, Chariot -Escape-, Ezio was outrunning the guards while protecting Leo. This is virtually the opposite, he's assaulting the guards in armored transportation.
