I just wanted to say that I've been thoroughly enjoying the assassin recruitment and metagame that UBI has installed since brotherhood. I've been on Sequence 4 for the past several days becuase I've been spending most of my time in the metagame.
Its much more robust with being able to permenantly install assassin's in other counteries and giving you an opprotunity to expand your guild outside of sending the same people off somewhere.
I've had a few friends who are playing this game not even realize that you can do that. So in case you have overlooked it, every city has a 'Manage Assassin' option before you go into the list of assignments you can choose for your recruits. From there you may have only 2 slots but within each of the lists, you can expand it by one more and max it out to 3 slots per city.
I've been constantly recruiting assassins and sending them to those cities to upgrade themselves. Its the only fault I do have with it is that if you want to take them back out of the city you can't take everyone out, one must remain (unless you swap with another assassin within your slots. So in essence, you can have 39 recruited assassins in the Mediterranean Defense on top of the 12 you have local.
One of the things I do wish that would have done, is allow for you to send the recruits you have installed in the countries to go on the assignments instead of only pulling from the local 12 you have in your slots. Why am I sending my man who is here with me when I have a dude already installed at that base? I hope they expand on that option when AC3 comes out. [update: you CAN use city assassins!]
I'm also truly enjoying the Master Assassin missions that they have added to the game. I feel more personal with the recruits becuase its no longer just a name but they are interacting with you. Its also nice to walk around and they greet you, whereas in Brotherhood they just acted like you were invisisbile (Respect me fools!)
Well sorry for the long post, but let me know how everyone else feels about the improved metagame. I personally wish that there was an external game that was like this to play outside of the main one.
