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/@comment-4829046-20130803155447

If you look at the mission where you have to infiltrate that ring or whatever, the guards were there to hunt him down, not guard it like usual but even then they only had pistols and batons. They simply used the same character model for all Abstergo guards without bothering to give them classes since that wasn't the focus of the game. And since there is no fighting in the modern day in ACIVBF, we won't see proper Modern day weapons for a while. Though we do know from the gunshots in AC1 that they do use machine guns. So it was weird how there were no machine guns in AC3.
