Thanks to all of the people liking Assassin’s Creed III‘s Facebook page, tweeted about it, wrote on their wall, and just generally did an advertising job for Ubisoft, the first gameplay video for the game is out.  So let’s get it out of the way and have a look at the trailer.

The trailer has given us a peek at the few different locals that you’ll be roaming in: from snowy wilderness, to colonial towns, to even a battlefield during the Revolutionary War.  Defiantly the interesting scene was seeing Connor making his way through that battlefield and it makes me wonder if there’s going to be different battlefields to make your way through or will there just be one set piece.

Another question this trailer has brought up is, are we just killing exclusively the red coats, as we never see any colonists being killed by Connor?  In the trailer and in previous announcements by Ubisoft, it is indicated that Connor isn’t on anyone’s side, but I’ve only been seeing assassinations and killings of people in red.  Granted, this is still early and I’m not freaking over it like some, but it would have been nice to see him sticking it to both sides; however, I’m sure that will come with future builds and as we begin to see more and more of the game.

At least we learned we get to stick it to a big bear on October 30th, when the game is released.

If you were wanting some heart pounding Assassin’s Creed III action in your latest trailer, you just might be let down for two different reasons.  First of all, it lasts only 44 seconds, and secondly, it’s just a teaser for the full trailer, featuring gameplay, to come, which will only become unlocked after you, your friends, and random strangers online do some advertising for Ubisoft.  Don’t you just love it when game companies do that?  Who can blame them though, as it’s free advertising due to those fans wanting to see the full trailer.

The teaser trailer itself shows our boy Connor chasing after a Red Coat and then shooting him in the calf with an arrow.  I wonder if this shall too become a meme, “I used to be an infantryman, but then I took an arrow to the calf… and an axe to the face.”  Well, we don’t know if he gets an axe, but it sure does look like he will.

To help unlock the full trailer, you’ll have to go to Assassin’s Creed’s Facebook page and like it.  You’ll also have a few different things to do to help increase the unlock bar, such as tweeting #AC3, recruiting friends to the page, and posting on their page.  When that bar is filled, we’ll be getting a look at the gameplay in action, which, if you are a fan of the series, are probably hoping is sooner then later.  I just want to see how well that free running in the trees goes.
