Q: Is there any good strategy for manhunt in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood?

There are some tips that the system show in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for the manhunt on-line mode. However I would like to know if there are any kind of strategy you could use to get more points in the game. Is there any way to avoid being flanked by your pursuers during manhunt? I am always...

In the meantime I've killed 2.4k nameless people (or rather, the same 5 people 2.4k times), dropped down to 1 hitpoint, hit level 12 then regenerated all the way to 100 again. I have full health, full grenades, a really fast reloading, really deadly steam hammer and an incredinbly boring time.

You might know Chris better as “Grace Note,” the moderator extraordinaire on our Gaming Stack Exchange.

I appointed Chris to a pro tem moderator position nearly a year ago. I wasn’t an avid user of Gaming SE, but I was continually amazed how often Chris’s name kept popping up in our moderator chat room. Chris was quickly becoming The Person to quote when you needed a clear, compelling explanation of how this community-management stuff should work. Even in our meta community, Chris was earning a ridiculous amount of rep in a short period of time. You should read some of his posts because it’s really good stuff. …
