Will Assassin's Creed 3 feature four-player co-op play? That's the rumor we've been hearing, by way of the game's listing on Xbox.com.
We know a a lot about the single player aspects of the game, thanks to an early release of Assassin's Creed 3 details, Assassin's Creed 3 screenshots, and even the first Assassin's Creed 3 trailer. But there hasn't been any mention of multiplayer for the title. Ubisoft has said in the past that there will be some kind of multiplayer, but are waiting until a later date to make the announcement.
We don't know yet, but if I had to guess, I'd imagine the co-op will be similar to the special co-op game modes in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood's multiplayer. I'd seriously, seriously doubt that the main campaign modes could be played in co-op mode, although I guess you never know.
What would you like to see in multiplayer for Assassin's Creed 3?

I think that online was a poor decision to begin with. All of the games are about a lone assassin's journey. The online is only there to sell copies to people who don't do anything but play online, and if Co-op is added, it will have the same effect. Multiplayer is not necessary to a game. Look at Skyrim!. Co-op would be detrimental to the overall story. Please, Ubisoft, don't ruin this game just to sell copies.

Im not super into the multiplayer in the assassins creed game i feel like the whole hide and hunt game tactics they have for it seem sort of lazy but i mostly just think they should have more of a combat in multiplayer like being able to get into a full out fight with someone trying to assassinate you not just a 2 second quicktime event where you either counter or die. I would welcome anything new to the multiplayer like instead of the stupid set characters, why not do something customizable like give the character a base assassin to build up like you do in the single player except you r the base level assassin and you get to customize his equipment and gear not just the color of his outfit. The co op would be cool if they did some kind of like sidemission that coinsides with the story but is like spec ops for cod orsomethig like that though im not sure how that would work ith 4 players.

I think whatever they do for multiplayer is going to be alright-hopefully they address the certain few annoyances from Revelations multiplayer. But I have some ideas for a different multiplayer mode-just quick thoughts, I (or anybody else) could improve on them; here they are:
Besides the standard 2-8 online multiplayer found in Brotherhood and Revelations or the possibility of some kind of campaign co-op, here's another idea: an all-out survival mode in the Frontier. Assassins make their own small personal base or 'camp' wherever they wish (this will include maybe a small tent, with a small campfire, won't take up much space). This is where they start after they return to this mode. They can set up traps around their area to catch animals while they're 'on leave' from that mode or the game. You still hunt for animals-you will be required to kill a certain amount of animals in order to "survive", like maybe you have a hunger kind of thing? You may also steal things from other assassin's-from their camp, while they are away-take money or supplies (supplies=bullets, powder, etc. possibly food/water). Maybe every player has a water level-it slowly drains and when it is empty, the player starts losing health-so every player has a water canteen which can be refilled at any water source. Also possibly (though perhaps less desirably) the same thing for food. Items that can be found in this game world include-ammunition, materials to make traps, weapons, clothes-you can jack clothes from NPC s (from the soldiers, but not civilians).
You will not know where other players are on the map, but you will have to listen to hear them-sound will play a big role in stealth and hiding-if you are hiding in the brush, just crouched and listening-you can hear other players if they are in a certain range and are running or being noisy-if you slowly crouch-walk, you will make no sound at all, just look out for the occasional twig on the ground as that can affect everything-you snap a twig, another player will be aware of either an animal or another player in the area-imagine this, there is some type of meter on the screen, which shows ambient noise of the environment-water, wind, trees, birds, etc. but when there are other living things nearby that are making enough noise-such as a deer snapping a twig or a player running through the trees -it shows fluctuations, and as you turn your body (or camera angle), the strength of the fluctuations (or the "signal" if you may) increases, so to guide you towards the direction of whatever is making noise-your job would to slowly and soundlessly sneak up. When you come across another assassin, if you have not been noticed, you may assassinate him/her. Or 'pin' them-they decide whether to join you or not, and if no, you may either finish them off, or let them live and be on their way (after disarming them and taking their supplies). However if they decide to join you, they are unable to kill or betray you, or be a "backstabber" (most likely literally haha)
When you meet other Assassins in the wilderness, you may decide to either team up or stay enemies, from when you may fight or go your separate ways. You customize your assassin a bit in appearance. You can go in town to buy supplies and such, but since other assassins can recognize your general appearance as an assassin, you can silently take out a red-coat and use his clothes to disguise yourself as you walk around town (plenty of people and soldiers will be walking around; NPC's will still be around). I'm not sure on what the player limit should be, as the Frontier sounds like it will be huge-definitely 8 at least.
Even as I am typing, I am thinking of many things, I'm just having trouble wording/phrasing them; if anybody would like to give some help, have at it-or at least help get this idea out there for people to see and possibly support-or criticize, I don't really care-I just want feedback, and hopefully for the guys at Ubisoft to just imagine this type of thing for just a moment-if anybody can help me spread this idea more, do that or please tell me how; I didn't know where to start on the internet, but this is about AC3 multiplayer, so here I am hahaha : ) so just an all-out survival game basically.

i think coop in the main campaign would be good for a lot of people who like to explore new places with friends and do quests. for people who don't like coop in their main campaign than if there is multiplayer don't use it. Also i hope they keep the multiplayer in so that people who are looking for a competitive game after they are done the main story they can keep going with multiplayer

why even take a risk to destroy a game that has easilly become on of the biggest single player games. Having a coop would only take away from the game because then you miss out on all the extras if you decide to split up and take a different mission.

I had been hoping for some kind of coop mission since they originally announced coop. Not so much story missions but separate side missions. even competitive coop, perhaps a team of templars defending a building or a person, and a team of assassins with limited tools need to infiltrate and eliminate a target?

I think it would be pretty cool if they had a horde mode where you work in a village in the wilderness either as settler camp or indian village and had to fend of waves of enemies with your buddy's and the more you level up your coop persona the more traps you can set as well as your effectiveness in combat that is just 1 idea but I think would be pretty cool also I hope they keep some form of versus

A open world Rockstar styled multiplayer would be awesome!

The Fact That The Trailer And No Screenshots Were Taken Of The Game Inside A City Makes Me Feel Worried That The Game May Be About The Wilderness And War And Forget About The Bases Of The Game Which Is Big City And Famous LandMarks

I definitely think it will be tied to the Assassin missions. I think it will be coop in a similar fashion as ME3. Not a Horde mode, but a separate mode that can tie in to the story, but it isn't required. At most I see the coop being something like in Splinter Cell, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
EagleSpirit
woa that would not be bad, but lets just be some co-op misions sided by the story, do not affect the epicness of this new game

Co-Op sounds awesome in AC. If done right, the idea of you and a buddy in the same story line doing special co op missions together. But only do it if it fits in with the story line somehow, dont just make some extra tacked on DLC storyline that is average at best for Co Op.

I wouldnt mind a seperate thing of co op but leave the amazing single player story alone..
BONERJAM
I would love to play some co-op AC.
