I strongly hope combat will be harder, and that most types of guards won't be killable with single combo hit. From the Connor's image, I can see bow replacing crossbow (strange, as xbow is more modern and faster) and wieldable areuqbus (replacing hidden pistol?). Also, what about the virtual training module? I loved killing bunches of guards back in AC:B.

Those who solved 16's puzzles remember that Washington possesed the Apple - maybe we'll see it?

Also, I'd love to see hookblade again.
