Ass Creed: Brotherhood - Multiplayer Beta Out Now

BobBishop said:
1st person to PM me does sound like a good idea, but if anyone has a Dead Space 2 code then they would take priority haha

I have some Avatar the game DLC codes :P
 
To decide who gets the code i want all interested to post a funny screenshot from a game on either PS3 or Xbox 360. The winner will be judged at approximately 13:15 GMT (in about half an hour). Good luck.

P.S. If the ones posted are not suitable enough it will go to whoever PM'd me first.

Sigh, please don't start this. Getting people to do stupid stuff for a code is degrading for everyone involved, and it gets worse and worse over time as the requests get weirder.

Oh, not your fault of course! I just remember many threads with people asking other GAFfers to do all kinds of weird stuff for a code, that's it.

Uhm, I got my code from thehut but apparently I can't find where to register it, to get a redeemable PSN code.
Apparently http://www.assassinscreed.com/ps3beta/ gives me a 404 error. Problems on their sides, or am I supposed to register it somewhere else?

Not sure if this is relevant to you, but EB Games in Australia said that yesterday was the last day you could sign up for the beta, so maybe Ubi took down the registration page. :(

I'd be really pissed at the shop then, 'cause they sent me my code less than 2 hours ago :/

Click on the beta on the right upper side of page. Then login or create an account. Then enter the code when it asks you to. You' ll be directed to your PSN code.

It doesn't seem to work :(

EDIT: Maybe it had something to do with the website redirecting me to the Italian one automatically (I hate this sort of crap). I managed to get to a page with this message though:
Thanks for your interest in the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Beta !

Due to the popularity of the Beta, this page is momentarily unavailable. Please come back in the next hours to receive your Access code.

Thanks for your patience!
Hopefully I'm on to something.

Well, I already promised I'd share my code with a few people, so I guess I'll wait and use it later. Thanks a lot anyway!

Yes as soon as you start downloading, you can switch back to your own account. Now my pm account is empty.:D
 
Hey, if someone has a code that's not going to be used, I'd love to give the Beta a try! I have an European account so it should work. If you decide to send it over, do it via PM plz! :*

Thanks :_)
 
1up is giving out some codes today. Follow their twitter account, look out for the secret codes they're posting in the main page of 1up, and then post the secret code using your own twitter account. 1st person to post the phrase gets a code.

Full rules here.


Does anybody know when the beta is scheduled to end?

This is working right? I can't get a game going at all.
 
Got a couple of games in. It's surprisingly fun. I was expecting it to be complete shit, but i was surprised. Very fluid and impressive.

phrase just went up, hope i win.
You may have gotten it. According to their followers page, your tweet was a few seconds before mine, and I submitted mine right when they put the phrase up, unless someone else got it before you.

EDIT:
caliblue15 said:
Congrats!
 
Hope I got it this time, the followers page is at least showing good some signs right now.

EDIT: Well, I haven't gotten a DM, which is odd, since I checked the search engine, and it shows my tweet as the earliest. EDIT 2: Ah, looks like someone else beat me by a few seconds, though it doesn't show in the search. Ah well, better luck next time I guess.
 
So, I've been playing a bit tonight and I'm really enjoying this. As I expected, it has many things in common with the AC2 Multiplayer game for the iPhone (I liked that one).
Too bad my first three games had a group of loud people with terrible mics not shutting the hell up for a damn second, and my two subsequent ones were lagging as hell (people climbing in mid-air over a plaza with no buildings around whatsoever? yes, we can!), so my first impression wasn't stellar... but after that, I got into a good series of games in the Castel Gandolfo map, and had a lot of fun.
 
No one knows when this beta ends?

What's with the Uncharted pic?

Anyways, are people done talking about codes and start talking about the beta already? :P The official forums give me a headache.
 
game is fun, but half the people just run full speed like you would in the SP. It's more fun when everyone just slowly walks around and kills.

Yeah but it's currently too effective. To get the most points I have to run as fast as possible to my next victim, then I slow down, run again etc. until I caught up with him and still get a silent kill etc. because the stealth bar won't deplete. After the kill, I immediately run away due to a likely pursuer and shortly after I get my next target.
Additionally, when I do this my pursuers can rarely surprise me. If they want to keep up they have to run, too and I can detect them easier. With the radar it's too easy to find your target so I can't always hide/disguise myself. Because this will result in 0 points for me and I will still get killed.
In the city map you would also think going over the roof is a bad idea, but in fact if someone is only on the ground it is extremely easy to follow and kill him if you are above him.

Solution: a mode in which you are either assassin or victim, not both.
(also, running should alert your victim much faster)

Who would want to play as a victim?

Guess it depends how it's implemented.

Agreed. Blending in the crowd is only effective if you do it very rarely, when you're already close to your target. Running the whole time makes it easier to survive, because - unless your pursuer is coming from the opposite direction and you don't notice him in time - you force your pursuers to run too, triggering an escape sequence.
Staying on buildings or tents is definitely helpful, you move faster and can do aerial kills while your victim on the ground is helpless.

Of course it should change every time you get killed, then you are an assassin etc.
The longer you survive, the more points you would get and the more pursuers will be on to you.

I would want to play this to actually utilize the systems this mp has in place to fuck with your pursuers. I love stealth games so I could totally imagine to hide in crowds, sitting on a bench etc. if it was the actual goal (currently killing is the the only goal for everyone).

There are some really cool moments in here.

The way the hunter walked past and poisoned you (it was him right?) without flinching was pretty awesome. It seemed like he got a lot of points for that too. Do you have to be "incognito" to use poison or anything like that?

And near the end when you crowd morphed into a little group of 3... the butcher was so confused when he climbed up to kill you. :lol
 
They really got to take out the ability to knock out your attacker with the Smoke Bomb + punch. It's really cheap. It should just slow you down significantly, not be a stun.

And the gun's cool down should be ~2.5 minutes. Rome can sometimes turn into Modern Warfare.

Someone mentioned posting a funny gaming pic to win a code and I was too late but wanted to share anyway.
I got a couple of spots open in a share account, tell me if you want in.

Is this offer being extended to all Gaffers? :O

I'd love to get a chance to play this, if you have room on the acc!
