9. Combat
Rather publically, Ubisoft have been lauding AC IIIs completely overhauled combat system. The games battle mechanics have apparently been built from scratch from the ground up which means that the new character isnt the only promised revolution on offer. Connor will apparently be able to combine any two weapons when entering into a combat situation. Knife and a tomahawk? Go for it. Pistol and the hidden blade? Not a problem. Sword and Club? I thought youd never ask. AC IIIs combat animation system has also been burned down and rebuilt from the ashes; according to Creative Designer Alex Hutchinson, Connor boasts thousands of brand new kill and combat animations that promise to completely separate the game from its predecessors (which, lets be honest, in terms of combat, were already fairly awesome). And this is the tip of the iceberg my friend. It seems as though an immense amount of time and effort has gone in to crafting AC IIIs brand new combat system and I for one am on the edge of my seat in anticipation for it.
