The whole point of a sequel is to be better than the game that came before it and that’s exactly what 2 did. Better graphics, better combat, more weapons, way more suits, way better traversal, and better quality of life features. It’s a no brainer that 2 is the best in the series despite the trolls here on Reddit and the grifters on YouTube say. Newer is always better, it’s common sense.
I used an image from a YouTubers community post, not sure who cause I found it on Reddit.
I tried my best to guess what each one was, while also using the UI we've seen in videos to fill in some gaps.
Green are ones I'm certain of, orange are ones I think I'm close to but not certain, and I left ones I couldn't determine blank.
The Final Embargo date for the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced!

This deep dive will focus on the oceans with the Jackdaw!
Even if the game isn't out yet, I want to share the spoiler police of this sub.
Considering that this is the remake of an almost 13 years old game, I think it will not be necessary to put a spoiler tag in posts about stuff that is present also in the original game, such as the death of Blackbeard, the death of Mary Read, etc.
However, the spoiler tag will be necessary for posts about new stuff, such as the new modern day story, the new chapters of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, etc.
If you don't put in those posts, your posts will be removed and you will risk a ban.
This rule will be valid until at least three months will have passed since the release of the game.
Work in progress footage!
The timeline would be a be finicky, and where something like this could be placed could be dicey.. but am I the only one who thinks there could be some really badass cinematography and artwork that could come of a mission that involves Edward and Adewale working together? Imagine the two of them, in their respective assassin outfits, back to back, Edward with a pistol in one hand and a cutlass or pistol sword in the other, then Adewale with his machete in one hand, and his blunderbuss in the other, both facing a surrounding group of troops.
I’m not sure where exactly Edward is during the time of Freedom Cry, but perhaps something like this would be best added to a hypothetical Freedom Cry: Resynched. Since the two are only full-fledged assassins at the same time, but that pojint in the overall timeline. Edward could appear near the end to help Adewale and acts as Adewale’s quartermaster or helmsman on the Experto Crede. A nice role reversal the two could have some quippy dialogue over. It would probably feel sort of shoe-horned, but it would make for some really badass photo-mode moments, and overall epic cinematic I bet!
The minimap in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Resynced has caused a surprisingly divided discussion within the community.
Some players believe removing or heavily changing the classic minimap makes the game feel more immersive and cinematic, encouraging players to naturally explore the world instead of constantly staring at the corner of the screen.
Others feel that the original minimap was an important part of Black Flag’s gameplay. Especially in Naval tailing missions.
Personally, I would like the minimap to return, but at the moment it seems like it will not be coming back. As an alternative, it would at least be a nice addition to have it as an optional feature for players who prefer the classic style. The option to switch between navigation modes.
Share your thoughts!
One thing that genuinely worries me about Black Flag Resynced is the naval combat presentation.
The original Black Flag had cannon impacts that felt insanely heavy and destructive. Every broadside had aggressive smoke, loud explosions, violent screen shake and powerful water impact effects that made naval battles feel brutal and cinematic.
In Resynced, a lot of the new footage looks visually cleaner, but the cannon shots honestly feel softer and less impactful. The explosions also look smaller.
Does anyone else feel like the original game somehow had more punch during ship battles?
I can see some of them being found in chests in the open world or even being bought at in game stores
What do you guys feel like about the animation screen when doing double assassination. Unlike the original it did not have any screen when doing that.
