Ian's EDIT: This is a video by Blackc8 on youtube.
Amazing what this guy did. He even had an alternate black-robed Altair. The effects aren't as good as hamps' videos, but he did amazing with what he had. All recorded in-game, it seems. He even pulls off an Eagle Strike!!! Awesome.
I have two words to say to you! Awesome vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did you make him look like that! It's amazing!

it was on pc, you can mod the colors,on pc versions
Very good! All I meant to say, has already been said.
5 stars from me, that was astonishing That black robed Altair looks menacing
That.. was freaking.. Awesome..
*stillness in the air*
Very nice timing with the William assassination, jumping from that height and catching at the last moment.
this was actually edited together from 2 separate takes. during the fall he reaches for the ledge too early. many of the "assassinations" in this video are combined from different takes. (this video was front paged for its entertainment value, not game play quality.)
4 Takes , theres another cut between the jump on william and the assassination , but its hard to notice.
And yes nearly all assassinations are edited from multiple takes the only assassination with one take is the jubair kill.
I wanted to give the Video some kind of Cinematic effect and for this i needed diffrent shots of the kills from diffrent
camera aspects like the ganier kill move from Front and Behind. Same with majd addin , if you try too assassinate him like
in the video the guards will stop you or Abul nuqut will run away if u use the way i did in the video .
its just entertaining , the expert gameplay is your Job
thx for the additional info! you did a really good job piecing everything together for cinematic effect. did you do broken timeline on the majd addin?
Thanks but it could be done better , i still see alot of failure in this but i had too much problems on my old pc starting at recording with 15 fps...
But anyway im glad too see people like this video
to answer your question
yes , the majd addin assassination is staged
killing him like this doesn´t work , cous if you throw a knife on a guard and run like this the other guards stop you and majd addin notice you.
i edited part for part together
1.Throwing the knife and start running
2.Run above the stairs
3.Run on majd addin + kill move (first Camera)
4.Kill move (second Camera)
this was actually edited together from 2 separate takes.
More like 3. After Altaïr jumps there's a cut at 1:08 from the spiraling camera angle to the overhead. Then there's the important cut at 1:10. The way Altaïr's right hand is raised, it looks like he's dropping down from the ledge just above his head. So it's possible that the last two clips are from the same take: catch too early, adjust camera angle, edit out "drop of shame", air to assassinate.
I just rewatched it and thought exactly this. The ledge catch is from a completely different angle and doesn't fit smoothly with the fall. Clearly edited together from different clips.
As you say though, it's still very entertaining.
I found another interesting one, the Sibrand kill, at 1:50. How is that possible? Does he throw him against that wheel and stabs him before he falls? I couldn't replicate it. What's the trick?
many ppl dont notice that sibrand only wears a helmet on the initial assassination attempt. if you reload after that, there's no helmet.
It turns out he edited it together from two shots.
I always wondered if it's possible to throw someone at a wall or something and stab him in the back before he falls. It's probably not possible.
That is very nice. I enjoyed every moment of it.
Wow he really joined, Welcome Black
Whoa. You, sir, have Altair doin' some nice moves! Really enjoyed!
Balckkc8 says that the kill animation at 2:05 comes up under the same conditions as the one at 0:46, it's a random variation. But I'm not able to trigger it, no matter how many times I try.
I've tried different distances from the target, I tried it on running targets, but it's not working. I've yet to actually try it on Talal, but in the meantime: is anyone else able to trigger it?
Balckkc8 says that the kill animation at 2:05 comes up under the same conditions as the one at 0:46, it's a random variation.
The animation at 0:46 is what I call a "last minute running assassination (front)". It's not a random variation. To trigger it, run at a target and press the attack button at the last possible moment before bumping into him.
The animation is different from a regular running assassination and depends on whether you approach the target from his front or back. Eleven Man Blitz demonstrates both the front (Garnier de Naplouse at 0:50) and back (Talal at 1:20) variations. It works on stationary, walking, or running targets. You probably won't be able to get Tamir from the front because he'll see you running and block your attack.
2:05 is just the normal frontal low profile assassination. surely youve been able to do this before! am i missing a consideration?
I tried it on Tamir, no running there, and it turns out that it's the animation of the low profile frontal hidden blade kill for the main targets. Probably seen it before, but I didn't remember that it's different from the normal animation. I suppose that the low-profile backstab is different too, because they need to end up with the target laying on the ground, and Altair holding him.
Thank you, I checked it, you are right, it is low profile. And knowing that, it is repeatable with Talal running towards you.
But it is not the normal low profile frontal kill, and I cannot replicate it except with Talal.
Wow he actually joined. well welcome to the site Blackc... we should get you a nickname.

"That new black guy"...no, that's mildly offensive... (I kid, I kid)
Hi all , im suprised that this video is worth beeing on the frontpage , thanks for this btw
I was tired to mashup trailer scenes for my videos so i thought i record everything by myself for this one .
I have to agree with PatrickDeneny , its a bit jumpy , thats becouse i recorded everything at 15 fps on a 1 core cpu and had to speed up the scenes to remove the low performance.
I used the Dark Assassin Mod to give Altair a new style , and the Realblood Mod to Remove the Symbols on the Targets.
I could give out the download links of the mods if its alowed on this site.
Whew! I thought you assumed it was ME who made this! I mean, I'd take the glory for a while, but not forever.
im hoping that blackc8 will join THB and tell us a little more about the video.
Maybe an Animus has a replay feature where you can review your strategy from a different perspective. At least during multiplayer games, please!
Excellently choreographed and skillfully timed!
If only Ubisoft would program a recording video device inside the Animus, allowing us to see and capture our assassin at any angle - similar to what Halo and Call of Duty did.
Of course, I'm not sure how that would blend in with the main story line.
This is Brillant! Looks like another vid goes to my Favorites....
It brings me alot good memories with Assassin's Creed. Also that robe Altaïr has on... not too shabby.
You can mod the colors in the PC versions.
how the hell did he do the change the color
Wow. The gameplay looks a little jumpy but I think that's probably just because it's mostly realtime gameplay rather than cutscenes or kill animations. It's still brilliant though. The black-robed Altair looks cool too.
i wanna play AC1 now lol
