Assassin's Creed 3: 6 Reasons To Buy It Instead Of Black Ops 2

3. Strategic Kills Are More Fun Than Firing A Machine Gun

This might be more a personal preference (and make me sound kinda psychotic in the process) but I get so much more satisfaction out of stalking my victim, calculating the best, and cleanest way to €˜off€™ him while drawing the minimal amount of attention. And when the coast is clear, sneak up behind him, swiftly slit his throat, cover his mouth so he doesn€™t make a sound then hide the body in some bushes. There€™s a degree of technique involved in such a thing. Assassin€™s Creed has always featured these clean, well-calculated kills in droves, and we can fully expect them to make a return. It€™s also the reason I have a lot of time for Hitman and Splinter Cell. Now compare that to Call of Duty. Go in guns blazing shooting anything that moves, toss a few grenades and hope for the best. There€™s no skill in that. Is it too much to ask to have a bit of pride and honour in your kills?
