morph and disquise can be used deadly together.

theres nothing worse than a bunch of your target and one of thee last person that you would be looking for!

 

[icejamez]

There are a few things...
1. have you ever seen a captain fast walking? he puts his hand on his sword. in some characters it can give u away. yes even that.
2. u shoudl vere only use high profile action if u r away from ur pursuer or have none and are not in line of sight with ur target
3.of course u'll use ur favorite character

i always find a group near a pile of hay and morph it then go in the pile of hay and evertone thinks your in the group

 

[Silentsmoke1990]

My play style varies on who i'm chasing so i'll list my constantly running prio checklist;

One. How many people are chasing me?

0- Move freely and Directly to target.
1- Move freely and Directly to target while keeping and eye out any avatars changing direction or facing me as I go.
2- Defensive mode; move into a group containing NPCs who look like me and keep head on a swivel for any suspcious behaviour, hover finger over smoke bomb, keep an eye out for target and pursue if possible.
3- Turtle Defensive, find group containing NPCs and morph, do not break cover until safety levels rise, by which I mean stunning, escaping or luring at least two hunters. the only time you break this is if you're assured of an incognito from hidden kill (points outweight the points gained from chase/stun/lure wins).

Two. Who am I chasing (try to keep in mind names or at least avatars you've previously hunted, if they are run'n'gunne...run'n'stabbers or low profile players)

Rooftop run'n'knifers- tail them from street level, trying to work out who they're following and then follow that NPC, when they pounce, you pounce.

Low profile- locate and kill (you might have to spend some time following about working out who it is.) it's for this purpose I use morph, it can be defensive to change a group to look like you but...if your target is standing close to lookalike's then you can change all NPCs to look like you except of course...the PC who'll find himself shanked.

Three. how many people are hunting my target?

1-take your time.
2-speed it up but be smart, if you see them being chased try to move low profile to where they're running, you sometimes get lucky, if you're target's being chased, low profile into the way of them.
3-either stab an NPC (they get the lure points but you don't lose anything if you're not on for a streak, and you get the prospect of a target who won't jump up the leaning tower of pisa the second you enter high profile) or go for the chase...with 3 people on one target they're not likely to last long.


Extra tips:

If you are tracking a target, and you're sure you know who it is, LOCK THEM if they somehow get out've sight you'll still have 5 seconds of that little padlock above their head to give some indication of where they're going (intercept).

Don't shy away from rooftops all together, especially when you're not being hunter, you're exposed but you also gain the acrobatic, aerial bonus avalible to you, you can still get the incognito bonus from a rooftop if the wind's blowing your way.

when you're being chased, always use chasebreakers, but also have abit've map knowledge, remember where hiding spots are if possible and when you break line of sight, actually hide...it runs the clock down alot quicker. also keep glancing behind you when you've got a straight line, if you see your pursuer taking to the roof, you better do so too otherwise they're likely to jump on you ASAP.

when you've got 3 people chasing you, and you've used a smoke-bomb/stun combo on someone without getting assassinated when you come out, leg it until your cooldowns are off, take to the roofs, keep moving round, change direction so you don't get intercepted, force your enemy to start a chase event or lose you until you able to smoke bomb stun again, alternativley, I occasionally use the tactic of getting abit've distance up and killing NPCs, sure i'm giving away free lure points, but I learn some things, and gain another, I learn which PCs AREN'T hunting me...as they come up as target ever so breifly, and since I use the reset cooldowns deathstreak, I get my smoke bomb back alot quicker.

Hope this helps and if anyone wants to run xbox360 alliance with me, with comms add "silentsmoke1990."

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

Pretty much whatever's useless in one mode is invaluble in another. I'm sure your capable of finding out which ones go where.

 

[AMMO Kid]

The way to get the most points for a kill is to be in hiding and kill your target within the first 2 seconds of leaving cover (without running)

 

[Mundjra95]

I use "attack" and "hunted" profile sets, with perks and abilities etc. that help for that particular mode. For example my Manhunt "hunted" class has morph and smokebomb, with the reset cooldowns streak. Cause it seems pretty pointless to have a "bonus points next time you make a kill" for a class that can ONLY be killed

 

[Viking Incognito]

I cannot thank you all enough, I have died more times than I have even found my target.

 

[Yassen]

The most fun thing I enjoy doing is on manhunt you hide in a crowd or on a bench. With natural blend an NPC will become you and when you see your hunter coming towards you, use decoy and the NPC goes running off. People will naturally assume it's you and kill them.

So damn satisfying.

Though if you can pull it off, use disguise after you've blended so they'll have less reason to suspect it's not you.

While I can see this appearing to be a valid tactic, the part about disguise is where I have issue. Disguise while having it's uses, is useless if your pursuer already has sight on you, if anything it gives you away. While blending with the crowd is useful, any hunter on manhunt should be running with firecrackers or templar vision as a rule, my advice? go into a crowd with blend perk and wait until you pursuer gets close, use the smoke n stun...then run.

on a side note, the only use for disguise IMO is if you're being chased, round a corner, disguise, then stun when your hunter rounds the corner aswell...other than that it's time limit requires too much foresight to be used effectivly when being hunted in low profile.
it has other uses but these are rather recurrent situations and a waste of an ability slot/cooldown.

As always I welcome anyone elses constructive opinions.

 

[Silentsmoke1990]

Here are some of mine.

1: Don´t run on the roof. Seriously.

2isguise is underrated, yet massively useful with the right knowhow. Few opponents see past the looks of their target.

3:Be vigilant, be wary, be alert!

That´s all i got. I know, great tips.

Share yours!

I would strongly disagree with your first point, i've been refining my strategy of late and the rooftops are essential to fast-paced, varitiy scoring gameplay, they allow you to stay highly mobile while tracking targets on the ground quite easily, the also open up a wider scope for aerial/acrobatic kills. yes it does make you easier to spot but if you see a character low profile'ing in your direction on the roof it's not hard to put two and two together and high profile your ass outta there, they either have to chase after you prompting a chase event or be left miles behind and you with the advantage of knowing who's hunting for you.

im glad im not the only one who wants people to stay off the roof. It just lowers the points of everyone as once one person gets on the roof his pursuer will as well. Then his pursuer will, then the next, then the next. That out of the way, heres some tips.


-Rooftops ruin the game. It turns it from "Assassin's Creed" to "Run Around and Die Creed."

-Death is just a minor inconvenience. Dont allow your death's to irritate you. Respawning only takes a few seconds, and you dont lost any points for it.

-Chillin, maxin, relaxin all cool. If no one is following you and your target is near, sit on a bench or chat in a crowed, attack him or her once they get close, and you will get plenty of points. Even when you ARE being pursued however, dont get excited, your a smooth assassin.

- Slow down. This is obvious, but it seems some people just dont get it. When you run you very quickly become noticeable by your target. Remember, whenever you do high profile moves such as running, a large red arrow points at you. Your target may know you are there pursuer before you have even identified them.

the rooftops are part of the game, like it or not. they're part of the game mechanic and should be treated as such. if you can't handle the more high paced (yet still high point scoring) aspect of the rooftops, then feel free to stay down below getting the high point, but less is number (and thus reducing the chance of varity bonuses) of kills.

I do agree with your point about death being only a minor setback, people who rage at a death seems to think that each death somehow affects their score.

I disagree with your chill out, slow down aspect to an extent, insofar that you should always move, high profile, preferably over the rooftops to your target, once you have him in sight, yes, low profile is the way foreword but there's no point in slowly moving toward a target, while your pursuers are closing in.

as I said above, if you move fast, it forces your pursuers to move fast, and the target to think fast. speed is your friend.

Hidden Gun - To me it isn't a cheap tool, I mainly only use it when you are in a game with a lot of "Batmans" (People who actively use rooftops on a regular basis). Some Batmen use it defensively, meaning you can see pursuers much more easily. And others use them offensively, to get the jump on their target. And sometimes both, but the hidden gun IMO is mainly used to deter Batmen. People sit on the rooftops and look around, usually confident in their ability to spot potential pursuers and get the drop on their target. And all of a sudden, BLAM! Their little superior mood is ruined because someone was packing a gun and shot them off the roof. At that point they know someone has a gun, and they can never tell who it is until it's too late. So they may either leave the rooftops altogether or they will retreat from the edges to the center of the roof. Either way, they are losing points and it teaches the rooftop campers they can be had silently and unawares (even if you take a point hit on the kill).

As for smoke bombs, I rarely use them. Why is that? Because everyone expects a smoke bomb to put it bluntly. You chase your target and they turn or otherwise look like they are not fleeing? Probably setting you up the smoke bomb. That's just me though, but I'm only lvl 11 so I don't have much to use. But I also test every new tool I get in a couple of situations, and now I get to see how firecrackers work.

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Don't be afraid to run on the roof.

 

[Levi93]

When in team selection try and get on the same team as that one guy who always uses the gun.

Oh and morph is an awesome ability on the team version(forget the name) even if your attacking or defending, defending it does the obvious to turn everyone who is near into your NPC so the attacker has difficulty, and when you are attacking, use it to turn everyone in a crowd to your NPC except the person your after so the stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[metroid5000]

important tip if you have a freind playing with you use that to your advantage. for example if your in a morphed group have them waiting close by )such as in a haystack or another morphed group) so if you are killed they can get the team points for a stun and trust me those 200 points can save your game. also when your attacking swich off using abilities just to locate targets and use them to lock on to a target so your freind can do the dirty work (i am not saying to avoid getting kills just any you find that are out of reach lock for your team to take care of. the abilities i like to use for offenceive are templar vision and firecracker and the defencive ones are smokebomb and morph. make sure you have another set for wanted to because you are on your own my preference is smokebomb amd templar vision btw pick your favorite character i know it is said already but there right it helps

i agree disguse cant be used in that sence but if you used the decoy that while there looking the other way hide you but be able to get away ps replce disguse with smokebomb

 

[Gabelous]

I think the real jewel to this game is that all the tools/abilities can be used in different situations and not one of them is pigeon-holed into one situation. Look at it this way...

Smoke Bomb : Most people use it to escape or disable pursuers, but you could also use it to stun your target if you are very sure of his/her identity in a group and you want to avoid somehow getting taken by surprise. Maybe they have a smoke bomb, or firecrackers.

Morph : Seems a lot of people use this to escape a pursuer, but you can use it on your target as well to reveal him/her quickly. Just make sure you are ready because if the target ends up next to you they could stun quickly since they know who you are but you don't know who they are yet.

Disguise : Again escaping pursuit is what people mainly use it for, but you don't need to be in a chase to use it. If your pursuer is in "the zone" and they do anything in high profile they immediately get a red mark above their head. You can see it, but they don't know you know. You can use it to walk around a corner, walk and quickly trigger a chase-breaker, and Disguise to get into a crowd. If there is another civilian in the group like you, he will go for that and he'll either lose target or you can stun them. And even if that isn't the case he will still be looking for you, and you can simply take him/her by surprise with a stun.

I also have an interesting question, In some of the 360 youtube videos I see people dodge their pursuers kill attempts and I'm not sure how that works. The PS3 controls make no mention of a dodge but the Stun can be complete bullocks sometime. You can be fully facing your pursuer in a crowd and hidden and as long as they mash the assassinate button they will pretty much win. They will should tweak that so if you face them first (but not complete face-to-face) it should allow the Stun to happen.

 

[jaden11111]

ok the best thing i would do to not get killed is to morph a crowd and when the pursuer comes up he kills a dude lay down a smokebomb and stun him unless there are other people then run for the hills for gods sake. if you are going to kill someone then i recomened that you use smokebomb and templar visin most the time if there is a haystake with no one around it go for it they are most likely in there thats all for now friend me on ps3 name scrappydu

 

[jaden11111]

im back ive learned some more stuff 1. DO NOT RUN ON ROOFS it ruins the game. 2. if you think a person is following you then turn a sharp corrner then get close to the wall then stunn them if you dont think that will work lay a snokbomb 3. if theres like 3 poeple on to you and one comes up get the hell out. 4.HAYSTAKES WORK before you go into a haystake make shurr you have morph and smokebomb morph a crowd right next to a haystake then get in it if a pursuer comes close then lay the smokebomb. thats all for now post more latter. bye

 

[Judgement101]

If you are the hunter on manhunt: Go on a roof and templar vision to see a target, lock on, jump off the roof where the person can't see you, stay locked, disguise and then slowly walk over in a group of npcs.
