Do the "elevators" in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood ever reset? From the way they are built they look pretty much like single-use objects but that would be kind of annoying since you usually spend lots of time in a town and are likely to go to the same place twice.
Yes, they do reset - they're only disabled for a short while after you use them. Leaving the general area and returning tends to get them to reset.

I am playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Multiplayer for a while now, and i just got 31 lvl, and the reward for this level is Kill Streak - Streak Bonus +750 but it says i need to make 5 SILENT kills in a row.
So my question is, do this kills have to be SILENT (need to act for a second in high profile to get rid of incognito) or it can also be INCOGNITO kill?
An incognito kill does count as a silent kill, so even if you get 5 incognitos in a row you should still get the killstreak. The way it works is that if you have silent or higher, you get a certain "silent bonus" (200 points) score when you get the kill. That's what counts it as a silent kill. If you got an incognito kill, you get the "silent bonus" as part of the "incognito bonus" (300 points) so it still counts.

Assassin's Creed Revelations came out today and I'm still half a game behind!
I want to finish as much of the side stuff as possible, but I also want to get through the rest of the main story line quickly, so that I can play the new installment of the series without spoiling the ending of Brotherhood for myself.
Is it possible to go back and keep playing to complete guild challenges, side missions, etc. after the main memory sequences are completed or is it more like the original Fallout 3 where the game after the last quest in the main quest line?
The story does "end" but the gameplay does not.
You can still continue to do all of the side quests and replay old quests to try to get 100% (I'm on 99.5%, just can't 100% the damn tank mission).

Right now I'm trying to play an online game in AC: Brotherhood, and have been for half an hour, but the system won't find any. I'm playing it on PS3 in the Netherlands. Could something be wrong on my end or is it really this unpopular? Could the impending release of WoW Cataclysm have anything to do with it?
The game started out being unpopular. It should work now. I play Assassins Creed Brotherhood and it works fine for me. Try again and it should work.

In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, when one of your assassins dies, will there be another person somewhere that can replace him, or am I permanently short a man?
Yes, whenever you have slots in your assassin roster, you will find "assassin recruitment" missions around the world map. The most typical of these missions is to save a citizen who is being harassed by 4 guards. After a while you'll get used to the canned animation and dialogue that occurs when you win. "If I can help others as you've helped me - nods I surely will."
Destroying Borgia towers increases the number of available slots. Whenever your total assassin count is less than the number of slots you have available, new assassin recruitment missions will appear around the map.
Note that the new assassin will be at a low level, and you'll have to call them into battle or send them out on contracts in order to raise them back up again.
Assassins can be killed in combat if you call them in against overwhelming odds, and they can also die during contract missions, rarely even when the chance of success is 100%.

Assassin missions in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations have a difficulty rating. On some missions it's displayed as stars and on some as diamonds.
What's the difference? Which one is harder?
The diamond rated missions are just basic missions with pretty much standard experience and standard money gained.
Star rated missions are special in that they often come with additional perks. Perks such as added experience/money, additional income/commodities from an assassin controlled city and the like.
Additionally, star rated missions are more difficult for your assassins to handle compared to a diamond rated mission at the same level. You will usually need to provide more support from stronger/more assassins if you wish to be successful at that mission.

The new DLC which arrived today (at least on PS3) adds a new map, a new multiplayer mode and what they call Templar Score Ranking System.
Here is the description I found on the forums: Adding a new layer to rankings, Templar Score compiles your multiplayer scores from the previous four weeks and splits all Abstergo recruits into ten distinct slices called Templar Grade. Your Templar Grade will be a constantly evolving measure of your worth in the Abstergo hierarchy.
But I have several problems with this.
Any idea?
They are collecting the names of the ranks here: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2361024388/m/5761082609/p/1
As for the symBols, nobody online seems to have compiled them yet. The top rank is the Abstergo symbol, that much is known. Under that, the best i can say is that the higher the rank, the fancier the symbol.
Lastly, as for calculating: there are three game modes. Free for all (wanted), Team (chest, manhunt), and Co-op (alliance). You have a seperate score for each mode.
This week's score is calculated by the best 3 scores this week in that game mode added together. Your total Templar Grade is the last four week's worth of these averaged out.
Example: This week - 100, 200, 300 = 600 Last week - 100, 100, 100 = 300 No scores previous weeks.
Templar grade = (300+600) / 4 = 225
Yes, weeks you dont play count as 0 for that week.
There is also an Overall score that is basically the sum of all of your other Templar Grades.
P.S. Dont assume high ranks are good players, I've played with some pretty horrible players that are considered " Master"

I just unlocked the Advanced Equipment (level 23). What is the benefit?
First, you have to go to each character and activate it (quite cumbersome, another way to do it?) and the online help is quite succint.
Does the assassinate button appears from a longer range? Are your assassination quicker so you are less prone to counter? Or is it just to have other colors available? And in this case, why separate equipment and color?
OK so, from what I've gathered here and there, advanced equipment (and following evolved equipment) as well as color packs don't give any of the advantages I may have think of.
When you are given a target, the target picture shows the default equipment and color.
Having another color/equipment selected can then confuse a little bit your pursuer.
Additionally, it seems players like customization! :)

Some games (like Mass Effect 2) build on the saved games from earlier versions by allowing the player to keep going with the choices they'd made earlier. Assassin's Creed isn't big on non-linearity, but my ACII character does have nice armor, weapons, and some cash.
Will AC: Brotherhood notice that saved game and pick up information from it or does Brotherhood always start from scratch?
No it will not.
Assassins Creed Brotherhood will always play exactly the same way regardless of whether you have an Assassins Creed II save game.

I'm at a point in the story where I'm with some 50 mercenaries disguised as French soldiers. My objective is the text in the title, and 3 targets are marked on my map as "targets". By that I mean they have a red bullseye icon on them. I'm given 20 seconds.
The problem is; the second I kill one of them, I'm desynchronized! It makes no sense! I'm told to go kill them, and I lose if I do. I'm not exactly given much time to ponder on the situation either. I'm on my sixth attempt now. Every time I fail I have to walk for like 2 minutes to get to the point I failed.
Any thoughts?
Edit. I've even tried to run ahead and poison all the targets way ahead of when I'm given the objective. They don't even have the courtesy of dying before the objective timer has run out and I'm desynchronized. THIS OBJECTIVE IS IMPOSSIBLE
And also, I've lost count of the number of times I've retried this objective now. It's over 20 times.
I finally solved this in a slightly different way than suggested by DMA57361. It seemed that if anyone saw you attacking one of the targets, even the regular guards, you'd get desynchronized. They didn't give a damn about seeing the targets die though.
That made the crossbow the perfect weapon. It also made the objective rather easy. I ran ahead and around the back of the buildings and picked off the lone target with a crossbow bolt. Then I hid around a corner while the two remaining targets confronted the mercenaries. I killed each one in succession with the crossbow, making sure to hide behind the corner between each kill. As long as nobody saw me while the target died, everything went fine.
The keyword for this objective; the crossbow.

So I've just finished the main missions of the game, and it finished. But I still had secondary missions to complete, stores to restore, and a lot of stuff to do. Is there any way to keep playing in Rome, or at least recover the game before the last memory so I can do everything I want?
Just load your game from the main menu. You'll be back in Rome.

I just recently started playing Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on the PC. When I started Sequence 2, there is a mission where I have to tackle a guy who stole my money. I keep chasing him, but I can't find a reliable way to tackle him.
The "Shift" key contextually changes from "Shove" to "Tackle" but I can never manage to consistently execute the tackle. In general, I leave it up to chance and somehow I get it to trigger. I also can't figure out how to shove people either. Usually I just end up falling into them and tripping.
I had this same problem in Assassin's Creed 2, but I managed to get through the whole game without really needing to perform either of these moves.
To Tackle someone you need to:
Be in high profile mode, by holding the right mouse button.
Be running, with your legs, by holding Space or the 4th mouse button (5-button config).
Tackle them with your free arm, by tapping Shift or the 5th mouse button (5-button config).
To Shove people you need to:
Be in high profile mode and running with your legs.
Be ready to shove with your free arm, by holding Shift or the 5th mouse button (5-button config).
Run in to them. As long as you're holding your free arm ready they will be shoved aside.
I also found it a little bit awkward to reliably tackle the correct target, but in general you should be close to and running towards the target when you tap the free arm button, and ideally not when near other people that might be targeted by mistake.

I just finished the AC Brotherhood. Not with the full sync though. At the end of the story when Desmond pickup the apple he kills Lucy! Did not quite understand what the alien said.
I would advise you to listen to the credits after the game has finished. And also to play the additional memories know as : Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC
The message of the alien seems to be intentionally cryptic. In the credits you can understand that Desmond's reality seems to be another simulation as technicians are talking about Desmond going to shock.
In the DLC :
Same technicians will clearly states that they acquired the wanted knowledge from Desmond who has gone into a coma.

By default, the game is in Russian on my game console; however, I was able to do some hacking in menu and now the characters speak English, but the menu and text is still in Russian. How do I fix this?
Well, since I haven't faced the same problem I can only give suggestions.
Let me know if this works:
Start menu -> Run Type regedit Go to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\ubisoft\Assassin's creed II There's a value named Language, double click it and type English.

In Brotherhood the fight missions for Mercenaries have a very short time limit on them? What do you need to do in order to win the fight in less the 10 seconds. I been trying and trying and can't seem to be able to do any significant damage within 10 seconds.
Thanks for your help!
I've found that keep pressing your attack and kick buttons alternating them every so often allows you to do combo moves. I was able to do this for all five fights.

AC2 had DRM that originally required a constant internet connection, and later required an internet connection at every launch instead. This is a dealbreaker for me as I often game without internet access. Assassins Creed Brotherhood is currently on sale. Does it contain the same DRM?
From a review of the german GameStar
Wie Assassin’s Creed 2 verwendet auch Brotherhood den Game-Launcher-Kopierschutz, den Ubisoft allerdings leicht entschärft hat. So müssen Sie beim Klettern und Meucheln nicht mehr online bleiben, nach der ersten Internet-Aktivierung läuft das Spiel auch im Offline-Modus.
And from Gamespot
There are a number of key differences between Assassin's Creed II and its follow-up, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but if there's one that some PC enthusiasts will appreciate the most, it's that Ubisoft's stringent copy-protection scheme has been jettisoned.
And from StrategyInformer
Fortunately, Ubisoft has seen sense this time around, and although certain security elements are present, it's barely noticeable anymore and definitely doesn't feel as intrusive. The game requires a one-time activation to begin with, but after that you can play the single player offline whenever you desire. The multiplayer requires you have a connection (duuh) and some of the DLC does too, but that's it.
This seems to indicate that there is still an online activation needed, but that afterwards no online connection is needed anymore. So you don't seem to need a permanent internet connection to be able to play the game.
