It is a breathtaking change of pace for Assassin's Creed III. For the game to go from a fanickity stealth section to this full-scale battle suggests an enormous variety of action. If the cinematic trailers are anything to be believed, Connor could also find himself in the middle of Yorktown, Bunker Hill and other huge battles from the American War of Independence.
Let's hope so, as Ubisoft has proved it can do big action - the navy sequence was truly breathtaking.
