5. Rope Dart
http://youtu.be/6Cx7zMtOkDw As a martial arts movie aficionado (and an old Mortak Kombat fan GET OVER HERE!), Ive always loved the Rope Dart. It's a classic Chinese weapon consisting of, perhaps quite obviously, a razor sharp metal dart attached to a rope. Sounds clumsy, right? Well actually, you couldnt be further from the truth. In the right hands, the Rope Dart is a brutal weapon; essentially a flying knife which can be expertly flung from hands and feet using gravity and inertia to deadly effect. Perhaps youve heard that Connor comes complete with his very own Rope Dart, which can be used simply as a devastating weapon but can also be used to hang unsuspecting soldiers from trees in order to attract the attention of his fellows. AC III promises us many, many new weapons (I suppose that comes hand in hand with the new setting), but undoubtedly the Rope Dart is easily the coolest and most exciting of the bunch, for me at least.
