    I'm cautiously looking forward to this, I just hope they haven't gone too far down the Modern Warfare path, I much preferred the fictional settings in the previous games.

    I'm looking forward to this - although this is a reboot of the franchise.

    One of the things I really liked about about the older AC games was the half-arcade, half-sim style of play - but after reading the articles, interviews and videos of AC:AH, it does feel like its going to be rooted firmly on the arcade side, which is slightly disappointing.

    Why do I think this? Well, did anyone else spot the attack helicopter in the promo vid doing a barrel roll? I do hope this works out well though.
