Assassins Creed Brotherhood or Call of Duty Black Ops, which is better? I know what I think. When the new assassin's creed comes out everyone else will have spent all their money on COD black ops so not as many people will be able to afford it. Any way I enjoy assassin's creed better as it is not as repetitive as COD. Whats your opinion?

Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty are not comparable. They're of different genres, settings and concepts. Trying to say one is better than the other is pointless.

That's because many people feel their money is better invested in Call of Duty.

Any way I enjoy assassin's creed better as it is not as repetitive as COD.


That's what the Assassin's Creed series was criticised for the most: being really, really repetitive. I never bothered buying the second because I just expected the same "run here, kill him, leave".

Thats what COD is you mean name 3 proper noticable changes if you can which you can't.
Plus you can compare anything it is not very hard. DUH
Assassin's creed has got a much better story line in comparison with COD, thing about in COD the story line is you've got to kill the opposition just because they are terrorists whereas in assassin's creed Ezio is trying to seek revenge over the murder of his family and how he will do more than the extreme in order to achieve it.

Both of them are repetative.
Assassin's Creed Series: Stab this guy, run from the guards, kill an anoying guy in your way, run some more, kill main boss, beat the game, stab everyone randomly from then on.
COD Series: Shoot this guy, stab this guy, blow this up, jump from an extream explosion, die, switch people, blow up something else, kill someone else, almost die, kill main boss, replay.

I have Xbox Live, so Black Ops would be the better deal for me. I wouldn't get tired of the game because it has a multiplayer which, due to its variety in game modes and players, would almost never get repetative or boring.
If you're just wanting a story line that's good because you don't have online, I'd choose Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood. COD has become very lazy, as with most games that have online, with their Campaign Mode.
But if you do have online, I'd choose Black Ops because they've changed almost everything about multiplayer, made about everything customizable, and are bringing back their infamous "Zombie Mode". I won't reveal the spoilers of it, but Zombie Mode does seem 10x more interesting this time around.

Assassins Creed 2 is nowhere near as repetitive as the first game. They fixed that problem.

Correct. You can't really compare the two games because one is a FPS and the other is a free roaming action game. If you're a big fan of first person shooters, Black Ops will be the better game. If you're a fan of 3rd person free roaming games, Assassin's Creed will be the better game.

But if you do have online


ACB does have online play.

I did not understand that. Care to rephrase?

Of course you can compare anything but it is not practical to compare two very diverse games. It's down to personal preference when you get two very different items to compare whereas things with a more intimate relation can be compared more critically. Is the plot in Modern Warfare more realistic than the one in Modern Warfare 2? In those games they're the same era, principle and gameplay, so you can say for sure which is more realistic or likely. When you get a game set in the Middle Ages(?) against a fictional intercontinental war between internationalists and America it's much more reliant on opinion.

Ezio is trying to seek revenge over the murder of his family and how he will do more than the extreme in order to achieve it.


Family dies, survivor plots for revenge in as many ways as possible. It's really not original. Call of Duty's plot was very predictable and pretty lame but there was some creativity behind it.

Moreover, if it's a fullscale war you will kill every opponent in your way.

The reason Call of Duty has always sneakily avoided repetitiveness is the longevity that multiplayer brings. It's a major component that Assassin's Creed lacked, multiplayer always brings a fresh experience with every game, so you do not get bored.

I would rather go for Assasins creed because lets put it this way. Same old shoot until dead with limited crappy guns and a storyline no one cares about. OR game that blew ur F&*$ mind when it came out, plus online which would make for some pretty epic cat and mouse chases online. If u look at it [b]NO CONTEST

It's hard to compare but AS2 single player > CODMW2 single player. While CODMW2 multiplayer = (Population of people who play * .65) + vulgarity and childish anger * rage. I'll go with the game that has actually been getting significantly better than it's predecessor which is Assassins creed 2, also Activision is evil.

alright it rely all comes down to your oppinion but if you like a chalenge and more of a hands on sord fighting and ninja game go with assassin's creed and every one knows the single mode in b.o or mw2 is **** and extremly repetitive. So fore multiplear i dont relly know it is hard but cod is not original it is almost identicall to brink, crysis and abit like fallout sory i got bad speling but eneyway um assassin's creed is more unique and alwais keeps you thinking so here is wat it coms down to this is my oppinion and i think it is right cod= grab a gun and shoot somone in the face (that was supost to be in a hillbilly voice) eneyway assassin's creed = stelthly assassinait your target well be aware that some one is after you moooooohahahahahaha so assassin's creed is better THERE BOTH FUN GAMES THOUGH

Really, on the subject of repetitive games... aren't all games repetitive? "Do this, get this so you can do this, and when you're done with that, do this. Now rinse and repeat." Saying that a game is repetitive is like saying... sugar is sweet. Minecraft was one of the first games to break that pattern, its just repetitive in a different way.
