Assassin's Creed, or Leaping From Rooftop To Rooftop Murdering Guards All The Time

[Ecks]

So I've been playing the Assassin's Creed series lately. Finished up the first game, finished the second, and picked up the DLC for it, and I'm now getting through Brotherhood (played Bloodlines, was meh) in preparation for Revelations' release on November 15.

HOLY FUCK I LOVE THIS SERIES.

I understand the first was a flawed gem. But the subsequent games took the concept and RAN WITH IT. Assassin's Creed II was an EXCELLENT GAME. I loved almost every minute of it (except, y'know, Carnivale's ridiculous race and capture the flag crap) and I'm now getting to play as Desmond in Brotherhood.

This thread is for anything Assassin's Creed, and ideally, it will turn into the Revelations thread once November rolls around, should it last that long. Post stories about your favorite assassinations, really slick stunts you pulled, how you took a liking to wearing white or black hoodies after playing, etc.

For example, I was playing Sequence 12 (the DLC) in ACII. I needed to assassinate Checco, who had stolen the Apple of Eden. I had previously attempted it, and been run down by those really fast fuckers that can catch up to you. So I opted for a different approach: I scaled the battlements, and did a leap of faith into a nearby haystack. A guard approached, and I stuck him with the hidden blade, dragging him into the haystack. I leapt out, only to attract another guard, where I jumped back in and dragged him into the hay after jabbing him with the blade. I then crept up silently behind the remaining two guards, scoring a double assassination while they weren't looking, and then gutted Checco from behind. It looked way cooler on-screen than it sounds via text, I swear.
