  assassin's creed 3 multiplayer

  so I've just played a few hours of the multiplayer component of AC3, gotta say not a huge fan of the multiplayer aspect of the franchise, when AC2 brother('s in da)hood came out and I played the multiplayer I was absolutely stunned, it stood out to me as a competative game mode that drastically altered the way I experience competitive games. The wanted mode was an instant favourite however the I was quite disappointed when launching AC3's multiplayer that I can't find a match with wanted mode as preference, so I am stuck playing the deathmatch mode with the dregs, this mode is pretty crappy as it strips away what I loved about the wanted mode, the fact that they took out the 'compass' and all the npcs are not the skins players selected means that it's just about walking around until you find your target and kill them, it means for me that hiding inbetween the npcs that look like my chosen skin is useless because they are non-existant, so hiding is pretty crap, and that's what I loved about the original wanted mode is that I was able to lurk among the npcs and wait for my target to come to me on occasion, and upon their death I felt totally untouchable for a moment.

  Here in deathmatch mode I constantly get stomped because I'm a much lower level than the mostly level 50 players I seem to be always paired with. The leveling up and upgrade system is annoying at best, I not only have to wait to attain a higher level to unlock the ability, I need to purchase it with points either earned or bought, which meant that once I was a high enough level to unlock my own custom ability set, I didnt have any abilities to fill it up with (even the the abilities derived from the first two sets given to you at the start) or enough points to purchase any, so I have a custom ability set with one ability now, yet the other 5 things I need to complete that set I am unable to fill because of the lack of level and points, why give something to a player half asked?
  
  In conclusion I perhaps have not played enough of the multiplayer aspect to really enjoy it, however I still feel that could have been many ways the developers could have resolved this early stage problem.
  
  P.S. I also dislike the interface of the the multiplayer, why not keep it of the same theme as the single player menu scheme, black with white writing is difficult to read and the symbols and pictograms are confusing to understand what they mean.

  battlestar gallactica

  battlestar gallactica (the original series from the 70's/80's) has to be the funniest old tv program out there, i mean the main characters are delightfully funny with their terrible acting skills, and thoseEgyptian helmets are just tragic, could u imagine fighting a galactic war with robots and wearing one of those things? oh and btw "turbo" doesnt exist in space becuase for turbo to work u need air. iapplaudthe genius for creating that concept
