Thought this deserves its own thread. Never seen so many reasonably coherent comments on YouTube...
And yes, we're happy now!

This is a fault on the marketing team and nothing more. People just wanted something to complain about. The Anvil Next trailer shows him killing bluecoats, as seen, but that's the only one and was just recently released. Since all the other ones didn't, I'm sure the rest (however many more there are) will have at least some bluecoats as well. People who complain about this, be it Americans, Britains, or anybody else just had to make a big thing about it. It had nothing to do with Americans. I guarantee the devs have equal neutrality within the game. This was only a marketing ploy by the marketing team to get American's attention since it does take place in America. But, at the time, it wasn't America yet, so either way, that's not a stab against the British. Or it shouldn't be, anyway. The marketing team definitely could've handled the content differently.

When AC was set in Italy and saw massacre Italian Ezio nobody complained.
Good times.
On this land, I am torn. Part of me wants to fight and repel all outsiders. The other part of me is the outsider. In the name of Liberty, I will fight the enemy, regardless of their allegiance. While men of courage write history of this day, the future of our land depends on those who are truly free.
look mate, i do not agree with anything that these guys are complaining about. but I'm getting sick of people saying that. the circumstances are different. if the game was in britain no one would complain about killing brits because there is no one else to kill. in italy no one complained about killing italians because there was (apart from a few french) no one else to kill. in AC3 you either kill 'americans' or brits. and people are complaining because brits are being killed more than the 'americans'. if the game was set in france and was fought between the spanish and the english and more spanish people were being killed people would complain. but in italy you were playing as an italian assassin, who associated himself with being italian, fighting for the italian people, against the italian army. with no else liable to kill. its not really surprising that people weren't getting angry.Originally Posted by Slayer_WTF
and don't say that people weren't arguing when ACR showed ottomans as the good guys. because they were, a lot
i believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody who's life has given them vodka, and have a party.
Frankly, I'm glad people complained. The marketing team was asking for it when they decided to make AC3 look like "Patriot: The Game" in previous trailers. Should be a good lesson for future
Yeah, i remember that.
People shouldn't be so ****ing nationalistic. Perhaps AC3 will open their blinded eyes, at least i hope so.
The British empire did horrible things, the American colonists did horrible things. Deal with it.

Didn't hear many complaints about Arabs killing Europeans for AC1...and by the end of the game you ended up killing more Arabs. Just sayin'.
I don't think people realise that the 'Americans' in those videos ARE BRITISH. So he is still JUST killing Brits, LOL! I don't think that the same developers who said FDR conspired with Stalin and Hitler to start WWII in their lore is "Pro- American" but whatever. And I didn't hear Americans complaining when you play as two British SAS killing a bunch of corrupt American soldiers and a US General who started WWIII in CoD MW2.
"I'm British and I never noticed, all I saw was an Assassin killing templars."
Nothing but respect for this comment..
AC1 was not about "Arabs against Europeans", it was about the Christian Crusaders invading a Muslim country and the war that evolved from this - that's a difference. Noone complained, because you weren't an "Arab killing Europeans", you were someone who was on his own, someone who didn't support either of the forces, that's what made AC1 so appealing, at least to me.
Robert de Sable, Maria Thorpe (somehow), Garnier de Naplouse, William de Montferrat, Sibrand = 5 targets
Majd Addin, Jubair Al-Hakim, Abu'l Nuqoud, Tamir, Talal = 5 targets
The Templars were equal on both sidesAnd yes, you killed Al Mualim, but that's something entirely different.
