This is my major objection to all these rumours floating around about Assassin's Creed 3 being set in either of the world wars. Truly effective firearms (as opposed to the rare early pistols in Brotherhood) would utterly ruin the melee aspects of combat. Hell, even in Brotherhood's multiplayer the gun is annoying, and can almost totally negate many of the game's best features like the rooftop running. Luckily it gives shit points so hardly anyone uses it, but if someone cared more about being a cock than winning the match I think the pistol is the best way to do it. Even that has excruciatingly long cooldown - imagine how much worse a machine gun or repeating rifle would be.SaunaKalja said:I'm always suspicious about adding firearms to a mostly melee-based game. Like how PVK is ruined.
