Assassin's Creed Brotherhood holds fond memories for many long-time fans of the series. The game continued the arc of the hugely popular protagonist Ezio Auditore da Firenze, introduced the assassin recruit system that we saw re-emerge in Shadows, and also brought forth the cult classic multiplayer component of Assassin's Creed, which was discontinued after Black Flag.
Assassin's Creed's competitive multiplayer component had several modes: Manhunt, Wanted, Alliance, Chest Capture, Advanced Wanted, Advanced Alliance, Escort and Assassinate. These were all spins on the same sort of gameplay: assassinating others while avoiding being assassinated yourself.
There's no doubt that the multiplayer modes felt tacked-on to Brotherhood. However, they were still a surprisingly refreshing take on competitive multiplayer, completely unlike anything else you could find at the time. In a world of first-person shooters and sports simulators, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood offered something fresh, even if it wasn't the kind of thing you'd sink hundreds of hours into.
Ubisoft shut down Brotherhood's multiplayer services in 2022, rendering the game's multiplayer unplayable through normal means. That being said, there are still a couple of dedicated players accessing the mode from time to time.
