Getting things a bit old school, but is the trial by combat in 1 completely unwinable? I'm lucky to get past the first wave with 1/2 health, and then the boss just rolls me. Cant get a combo going because he counters every time, cant block his heavy attacks because he can attack again before your block comes back up, dodges ever attack and you cant attack him whilst hes on the ground. Is there some trick? do i have to go at him with the hidden blade or something?
I've done every one except the one for the Tank.
Because seriously, FUCK THAT MISSION.
Against all tyrants.Which part gets you? The cannons are fairly easy as long as you take it slow and make sure to blow up the barrels of gunpowder before you get close to them. The soldiers can't do any actual damage to you, just run them over. The first tank's fairly easy too — just drive in circles around it and it can't aim properly. Just make sure you don't drive into the dynamite in the corners.
The two tanks at the end? Fuck that noise.

Against all tyrants.Vehicle sections in general for brohood were a pain on PC, the controls were incredibly awkward/mouse wasn't as sensitive for controlling the crosshair (wasn't so bad with the tank though- but then that had the annoying 100% sync setup). Especially that stupid flying machine section, I raged hard during that.
^^Tbh, the game is really easy unless you aim for 100% so i didn't mind those (though they did tend to get pretty annoying later).

The bomber was easy. The two tanks in the end grabbed me by the balls, so I just went to YouTube, looked up a strategy and got 100% in Brotherhood.
^ Yeah, They Just Didn't Care how much of a hard time PC players were gonna have with the mouse in vehicle sections, didn't they? Ubisoft just shit on us.

Makes it look pretty easy.
I ended up plugging in my PS 3 controller. Made everything so, so much easier.

Try and top that.

Against all tyrants.I love that track — it plays at the beginning and end of both Assassin Creed 2 games.
...but I kind of hope they write new music for Revelations and Assassin's Creed 3. Brotherhood doesn't have too much in the way of _original_ music, even if the music itself is still great.

Against all tyrants.

I would have preferred two options: use the Apple's destructive powers (which sucked, in my opinion) or spawn five Ezio's like in Creed II.
From a gameplay perspective, you didn't even need the Apple. You could take all of those enemies with the Hidden Blades.
