Meh, I really don;t like this whole timed co-op adventure. Why can't it be a campaign or something? This reeks of a cheap way to do co-op in the multiplayer framework they already have.

I second that, a normal, maybe 2 player Sandbox style Co-op mode would be awesome... with LAN!

I wonder how the actual co-op aspect will work. Will the assassinations require teamwork, or will it be more competitive to see who scores the most?

As to working co-op into the campaign… well, I don't think the Assassin's Creed franchise is well suited to that at all. But I would like to see richer co-op implementations in the multiplayer side of the game for sure.

Well from what I read, the target may be in a group of guards and instead of just killing the target, you may need a buddy to help take out the guards so your kill combo stays high. Something like that, I think.

In essence, the goal is to kill as many targets as fast as possible, so you need teamwork to takeout guards quickly.

I read that if you assassinate the wrong person then you are stunned until your partner comes and heals you so you will be encouraged to stay close together. I'm not going to complain about someone adding a co-op mode. I'm just glad they are trying something co-op.

I hope its not a let down like the 'co-op' campaign for Rage was, among other games.
