User blog comment:Cloverfield monster/Should we get an Assassin's Creed game set in Modern Day New York? What would it be like?/@comment-4829046-20130728164532

No. Nein. And Niet.

This won't happen. Not only will we hate it but the devs themselves have said they won't do it.

Do you know how stupid it was that not a single Abstergo guard had anything other than a pistol or baton? We live in a world of sniper rifles, assault rifles, machine guns etc. Having a guy whose only weapons are his hidden blade and a strange knife going around killing guys wielding modern guns without even wearing a bullet-proof vest was so lame.

Like said below. Play WATCH_DOGS if you want to see how a modern AC would look like.
