The game needs a big overhaul in stealth, combat, mission gameplay and mission variety, clearly the 2 and a half year cycle is not withstanding. Alot of time goes into each new inovation but they forget about the simple game play mechanics, their is not enough time to make new mechanics so they just make stealth and combat slightly different or the exact same. I have been with the series from the beggining and all the simple gameplay mechanics from the first game needs to go, i dont think Ubisoft understand just how much hours we spend climbing biuldings and hiding from gaurds, they cannot overlook how important simple stealth mechanics to the series is, combat is obviostly in a great need of a change

Even the main missions are getting repetative assassins do much more than eavsdrop or chase after their targets. In this time of the series even the smallest things should go and new gameplay opportunities should be made e.g. swap bench blending for hiding under object maybe, i think they are over looking the combat and stealth for the bigger inovations but these are also great things in the AC series. My main problem is the overall gameplay by this time i expected alot more, but do they have enough time?. The franchise just needs more time, so next year their will be another game, so i wonder how different the gameplay will be? what will they change, get rid of and what will be the same, oh and we need that crouch button.
