2. The Map Is Massive & There's Always Things To Do
Assassins Creed III boasts three major settings; the cities of Boston and New York, where therell be an abundance of activities to do and no doubt people to kill, and The Frontier - a sprawling countryside between the cities. This area alone is one and half times larger than Rome in Brotherhood, and that was pretty big. Its safe to say then ACIII open-word, sandbox setting is going to be overwhelmingly enormous with plenty of things to see and lots to explore. Out in the wild, where apparently 30% of game-play takes place, you can hunt animals and sell their skins the cleaner the kill the more money you make. But as Connor Kenway, youre one with nature meaning navigating through the dense forest isnt a problem as you climb trees and mountains, run across tree branches and even paddle a little canoe. And thanks to the new weather system, winter will mean you can venture across frozen lakes and your enemies will struggle through the thick snow. Oh and lets not forget the naval battle side missions either. Meanwhile, Call of Duty, ironically, has never been one to promote freedom. Its all very linear and you can rarely deviate from the mission at hand.
