So yeah no big input on the game anytime recently so i'll just ramble on about some weapons concepts.

first off, i love me some Assassians creed. the controls perform well and are easy to manuever, and its all thanks to the Puppeteering controls. Y is head, X is left arm, B is right arm, and A being spring and free running. with DD i dont want to go with that exactly but i do want to carry some key concepts. first let me clear up that im using all Xbox controller keys.

for starters look and movement are going to be your standard left stick right stick, X crouch, A action, B block (double tap for shove), and Y for quick Comm interface. that will be explained later. D-Pad will be used for quick selects. Back will be your PDA in Real time mode, and start will be paused mode. Reference "Your Handy-Dandy Personal Data Assistant" for a breakdown on that.

then theres the shoulder buttons and triggers. RB and R-trigger and LB and L-trigger will be very dynamic. the shoulder buttons bringing up a their respected inventories and the triggers function to the associated hand. this is going to have some intresting applications involed, esspecially with two handed weapons and will influence accuracy and functuality with many guns. all this coupled with your B button.

with two handed weapons it will be how you attack. for example, a big sledgehammer. equiped in the right hand you will hold the hammer with your left hand on the end of the handle. dominant hand above that pulling the left trigget quickly will perform a quick bash attack with the handle. but say you have two zombies breathing down your neck swing that thing around! pull on the right trigger and hold to draw back the hammer, then let go and give the left trigger a tap to follow through with a powerful sweep. but say for true carnage in a one on one situation, dont tap the left and watch that sledge go sraight down on that zombie's dome! this will all apply to most two handed heavy melee weapons.

but two handed specials dont stop there. anyone ever fired a pump action shotgun can tell you that you need two hands to fire with ease. yeah yeah you can throw it up and jerk the gun around but your rappid trigger finger that did you marvles on halo is gonna screw you here. but yeah with a pump you'll shoot with the right and pump with the left, and pull that trigger all the way cause a half cocked pump will get you a nice jam. and DEDZ.

with lever action rifles and shottys a double tap to the right trigger will function the lever, making your COD trigger finger a little usefull but just watch that firing pull, or, well that will be explained later.

the full trigger pull will also transfer into revolvers. a full trigger pull will be needed to get the gun to function, a half pull will do absolutly nothing. but that doesnt mean slap the trigger around like a pimp on his hoes... now a full pull is not a slow pull but just a full pull, cause a shotty will need a quick slap pull. but try that with a high powered rifle and end up with a mean flinch, explained later.

you try to shoot a real D-eagle 15 rounds a second and you'll fail miseribly or you'll just end up shattering your wrist. so yeah, squeeze that trigger gently or you may be short a fully functional hand. also, with hunting and sniper rifles, your soft hand will mean the difference between and clean headshot and OH! GOD! MY ARM! ITS GNAWING AWAY AT MY ARM! AAHHAHAAHGHGHGHGHGGGAHGG!! Bleh... yeah...

so yeah take your COD master trigger finger and take some true marksmanship skills. repeted "slap" firing of certain rifles will cause a "flinch" also, even a short "blink" in the form of a brief screen bloackout. very distracting, and disorientating. bascally if you know jack about shooting firearms you'll do well, but if not, you may need to read a strategy guide.

anyway, i think thats enough for now, i'll probaably need to explain a few things or elaborate on others, but yeah, i hope i wont be another two months before the next update. i hope X can get some things rolling too.
