With Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s multiplayer beta currently underway on the PlayStation 3, the developers have given us a good look at how the actual multiplayer works in the Assassin’s Creed’s universe. This is no ordinary trailer thought. It’s an in-depth introduction of how the game works, and its 15-minutes long!

From the video, it seemed a lot like the singleplayer campaign, but with more flashing clutter on the HUD, and lots of other players wandering around all wearing the same outfit. Somehow gives you a sense of non-uniqueness. But that’s a great thing thought.

This is what I’d think. The duplicate NPCs are actually intentional; they are there to confuse your pursuer. For example: barber player’s target is doctor (you). You choose to hang around 2 or 3 other NPC doctors, and while your enemy’s radar shows that he is close to his target, it doesn’t say exactly which doctor is. more often than not in this case, your enemy will mistakenly kill one of the NPCs, causing him to lose his contract on you and wasting all the hard work he did locating you, and you in turn avoid an assassination and gain more points

Feels more fun already, doesn’t it?
