ate ▁mother ▁and ▁declaring ▁gest ational ▁sur rog acy ▁contract s ▁to ▁be ▁a ▁viol ation ▁of ▁public ▁policy . ▁As ▁noted ▁by ▁legal ▁scholar ▁Jonathan ▁Tur ley , ▁this ▁r uling ▁creates ▁a ▁split ▁between ▁those ▁states ▁that ▁honor ▁gest ational ▁sur rog acy ▁and ▁those ▁that ▁do ▁not . ▁ ▁Att orney ▁Harold ▁Cass id y , ▁who ▁had ▁represented ▁both ▁Robinson ▁here ▁and ▁Mary ▁Beth ▁White head ▁in ▁the ▁Baby ▁M ▁case , ▁pra ised ▁the ▁r uling ▁and ▁described ▁gest ational ▁sur rog acy ▁contract s ▁as ▁" the ▁explo itation ▁of ▁women ." ▁ ▁Despite ▁finding ▁that ▁Angel ia ▁Robinson ▁was ▁the ▁legal ▁mother ▁of ▁the ▁tw ins , ▁a ▁ 2 0 1 1 ▁r uling ▁confirmed ▁that ▁the ▁children ' s ▁best ▁interests ▁would ▁be ▁served ▁by ▁award ing ▁their ▁father ▁full ▁legal ▁cust ody ▁- ▁which ▁was ▁also ▁the ▁outcome ▁in ▁Baby ▁M . ▁The ▁tw ins ▁will ▁continue ▁to ▁res ide ▁with ▁Se an ▁and ▁his ▁husband . ▁ ▁See ▁also ▁Sur rog acy ▁In ▁vit ro ▁fert il ization ▁Sur rog acy : ▁Leg al ▁issues ▁Sur rog acy ▁laws ▁by ▁country : ▁United ▁States ▁ ▁Notes ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁Text ▁of ▁A .

▁as ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁action ▁in ▁the ▁game ▁takes ▁place ▁around ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁Rome . ▁Instead , ▁a ▁series ▁of ▁tunnel ▁networks ▁throughout ▁the ▁city ▁allows ▁the ▁player ▁to ▁travel ▁to ▁different ▁se ctors ▁of ▁the ▁city ▁with ▁ease . ▁However ▁players ▁will ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁explore ▁the ▁entire ▁city ▁of ▁Rome , ▁and ▁visit ▁the ▁har bor ▁of ▁Nap les ; ▁a ▁part ▁of ▁Navar re , ▁Spain ; ▁Val ner ina , ▁Lake ▁of ▁Ne vi ▁and ▁present - day ▁Mon ter igg ioni . ▁ ▁The ▁combat ▁system ▁has ▁been ▁modified . ▁St rik ing ▁first ▁and ▁off ensive ▁actions ▁are ▁more ▁dead ly ▁in ▁Bro ther hood ▁than ▁previous ▁games ▁where ▁counter - att acks ▁were ▁the ▁most ▁efficient . ▁Before , ▁this ▁made ▁the ▁player ▁wait ▁until ▁the ▁A I ▁struck , ▁which ▁slow ed ▁down ▁the ▁pace ▁of ▁fighting . ▁The ▁A I ▁in ▁this ▁game ▁is ▁thus ▁more ▁ag gress ive ▁and ▁enemies ▁can ▁attack ▁simultaneously . ▁To ▁dispatch ▁them , ▁Ez io ▁can ▁use ▁me lee ▁and ▁r anged ▁weapons ▁at ▁the ▁same ▁time , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁introdu cing ▁the ▁hidden ▁p istol ▁in ▁combat . ▁After ▁killing ▁one ▁enemy ▁the ▁player ▁can ▁start ▁an ▁execution ▁stre ak ▁to ▁dispatch ▁multiple ▁enemies ▁quickly . ▁ ▁Ez io ▁can ▁throw ▁heavy ▁weapons ▁( ax es , ▁spe ars , ▁and ▁s words ) ▁at ▁his ▁enemies . ▁There ▁are ▁new ▁enemy ▁arch et ypes ▁in ▁addition ▁to ▁those ▁seen ▁in ▁Ass ass in ' |

, ▁Ces are ▁Borg ia , ▁Nic colo ▁Mach ia vel li , ▁C ater ina ▁S for za , ▁and ▁Leon ardo ▁da ▁V inci . ▁Loc ations ▁in ▁the ▁game ▁include ▁the ▁Col os se um ▁and ▁the ▁P ant he on ▁in ▁Rome ; ▁and ▁V iana ▁in ▁Spain . ▁ ▁Multi player Ass ass in ' s ▁Cre ed : ▁Bro ther hood ▁is ▁the ▁first ▁game ▁in ▁the ▁main ▁series ▁to ▁feature ▁a ▁multi player ▁mode . ▁The ▁players ▁are ▁Tem pl ars ▁in ▁training ▁at ▁the ▁Ab ster go ▁facility . ▁They ▁use ▁the ▁anim i ▁( pl ural ▁for ▁anim us ) ▁seen ▁at ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁Ass ass in ' s ▁Cre ed ▁II ▁to ▁access ▁mem ories ▁of ▁old ▁Tem pl ars ▁and ▁to ▁ac quire ▁their ▁skills ▁using ▁the ▁" ble eding ▁effect ". ▁There ▁are ▁eight ▁game ▁modes ▁( W anted , ▁Alliance , ▁Manh unt , ▁Ch est ▁Capt ure , ▁Advanced ▁W anted , ▁Advanced ▁Alliance , ▁Esc ort , ▁and ▁Ass ass inate ) ▁and ▁different ▁maps , ▁including ▁the ▁areas ▁from ▁the ▁second ▁and ▁the ▁third ▁game ▁like ▁Florence , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁new ▁maps ▁like ▁Rome , ▁Cast el ▁Gand ol fo , ▁S ien a , ▁and ▁Mont ▁Saint - Mich el . ▁The ▁game play ▁in ▁multi player ▁mode ▁is ▁similar ▁to ▁the ▁core ▁game play ▁of ▁the ▁series , ▁as ▁players ▁are ▁required ▁to ▁use ▁their ▁assass ination ▁and ▁ste alth ▁skills . ▁The |
▁players ▁must ▁h unt ▁down ▁targets ▁while ▁being ▁h unted ▁themselves . ▁Play ers ▁ear n ▁points ▁by ▁performing ▁assass in ations , ▁def ending ▁against ▁purs u ers , ▁att aining ▁bon uses ▁or ▁comple ting ▁mode - specific ▁object ives . ▁It ▁also ▁contains ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁characters , ▁most ▁of ▁which ▁must ▁be ▁un locked . ▁ ▁The ▁multi player ▁mode ▁also ▁includes ▁a ▁level ing ▁system , ▁which ▁allows ▁players ▁to ▁un lock ▁re wards ▁by ▁ear ning ▁experience ▁points ▁during ▁the ▁matches ▁and ▁gain ing ▁new ▁levels . ▁Play ers ▁can ▁then ▁un lock ▁ab ilities , ▁per ks , ▁and ▁stre aks . ▁Ab ilities ▁are ▁active ▁skills , ▁which ▁can ▁be ▁used ▁again ▁only ▁after ▁a ▁co old own ▁time . ▁Per ks ▁are ▁pass ive ▁skills , ▁which ▁can ▁be ▁equ ipped ▁before ▁the ▁match ▁and ▁they ▁are ▁active ▁all ▁the ▁time . ▁Stre aks ▁are ▁bon uses ▁awarded ▁for ▁reaching ▁a ▁certain ▁number ▁of ▁successful ▁or ▁failed ▁contract s . ▁The ▁multi player ▁beta , ▁exclusive ▁to ▁Play Station ▁ 3 ▁users , ▁was ▁announced ▁at ▁E 3 ▁ 2 0 1 0 . ▁It ▁began ▁on ▁October ▁ 4 , ▁ 2 0 1 0 , ▁with ▁early ▁access ▁for ▁Play Station ▁Plus ▁subscri bers ▁from ▁September ▁ 2 7 , ▁and ▁ended ▁on ▁October ▁ 1 8 , ▁ 2 0 1 0 . ▁Three ▁maps ▁were ▁play able ▁in ▁the ▁beta : ▁Rome , ▁Cast el ▁Gand ol fo , ▁and |
▁S ien a . ▁ ▁Game ▁modes ▁Free - For - All ▁In ▁W anted , ▁at ▁least ▁six ▁players ▁are ▁on ▁a ▁map ▁where ▁they ▁must ▁find ▁and ▁assass inate ▁each ▁other . ▁Each ▁player ▁is ▁given ▁another ▁player ▁as ▁a ▁target . ▁The ▁goal ▁is ▁to ▁find ▁and ▁kill ▁a ▁target ▁without ▁being ▁seen ▁or ▁killed ▁by ▁the ▁player ' s ▁assigned ▁purs uer ▁or ▁purs u ers . ▁Play ers ▁are ▁ind ist ingu ish able ▁from ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁N PC ' s ▁throughout ▁the ▁maps . ▁If ▁the ▁player ▁k ills ▁an ▁N PC ▁by ▁mistake ▁or ▁otherwise ▁breaks ▁cover , ▁they ▁are ▁more ▁easily ▁sp otted ▁by ▁purs uer ▁or ▁target ▁al ike , ▁sometimes ▁resulting ▁in ▁a ▁ch ase . ▁The ▁player ▁with ▁the ▁highest ▁score ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁session ▁wins . ▁Play ers ▁will ▁lose ▁their ▁contract ▁if ▁they ▁kill ▁an ▁N PC , ▁are ▁st unn ed ▁by ▁their ▁target ▁or ▁their ▁target ▁is ▁killed ▁by ▁another ▁player . ▁A ▁player ▁cannot ▁kill ▁another ▁player ▁who ▁is ▁not ▁the ▁target , ▁but ▁they ▁can ▁st un ▁their ▁h unter . ▁Advanced ▁W anted ▁mode ▁is ▁a ▁variant ▁of ▁W anted ▁mode , ▁with ▁differences ▁including ▁an ▁increased ▁amount ▁of ▁N PC s ▁on ▁the ▁map ▁to ▁make ▁it ▁difficult ▁to ▁pick ▁out ▁targets ▁and ▁a ▁less ▁accurate ▁comp ass . ▁There ▁is ▁generally ▁more ▁ste alth ▁involved ▁in ▁this ▁mode ▁than ▁in ▁basic ▁W anted . ▁ ▁The ▁Ass ass inate ▁mode |
▁is ▁similar ▁to ▁W anted , ▁but ▁instead ▁of ▁target ▁contract s ▁being ▁assigned ▁to ▁players , ▁all ▁players ▁are ▁fair ▁game . ▁Play ers ▁must ▁identify ▁other ▁player ▁characters ▁and ▁lock - on ▁before ▁assass in ating . ▁Because ▁two ▁players ▁can ▁kill ▁each ▁other , ▁who ever ▁lo cks ▁on ▁first ▁becomes ▁the ▁h unter ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁becomes ▁the ▁target . ▁The ▁standard ▁comp ass ▁found ▁in ▁W anted ▁is ▁replaced ▁by ▁direction al ▁ar rows ▁based ▁on ▁proxim ity , ▁that ▁grow ▁to ▁become ▁ar cs ▁around ▁the ▁per imeter ▁of ▁the ▁comp ass ▁as ▁other ▁players ▁near , ▁and ▁will ▁eventually ▁create ▁a ▁full ▁circle ▁when ▁other ▁players ▁are ▁very ▁close . ▁As ▁in ▁other ▁modes , ▁the ▁player ▁with ▁the ▁highest ▁score ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁session ▁is ▁the ▁winner . ▁ ▁Team ▁In ▁Alliance , ▁there ▁are ▁three ▁teams , ▁each ▁limited ▁to ▁two ▁players , ▁both ▁of ▁which ▁use ▁the ▁same ▁persona . ▁The ▁point ▁of ▁this ▁mode ▁is ▁to ▁get ▁more ▁points ▁than ▁the ▁other ▁teams , ▁but ▁each ▁team ▁is ▁ch ased ▁by ▁another ▁and ▁is ▁only ▁allowed ▁to ▁kill ▁one ▁specific ▁team ▁( not ▁the ▁team ▁ch asing ▁them , ▁but ▁they ▁will ▁be ▁able ▁to ▁st un ▁the ▁team ▁hunting ▁them ). ▁This ▁mode ▁encourag es ▁players ▁to ▁work ▁together , ▁as ▁team m ates ▁can ▁help ▁each ▁other ▁or ▁they ▁can ▁assass inate ▁their ▁targets ▁simultaneously . ▁The ▁Advanced ▁Alliance ▁mode ▁is ▁a ▁variant ▁of ▁Alliance ▁mode , ▁however |
, ▁the ▁players ' ▁comp ass es , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁target ▁eng agement , ▁becomes ▁more ▁difficult , ▁similar ▁to ▁the ▁Advanced ▁W anted ▁mode . ▁ ▁In ▁Manh unt ▁there ▁are ▁two ▁teams ▁of ▁four . ▁One ▁team ▁is ▁the ▁hun ters , ▁the ▁other ▁is ▁the ▁h unted . ▁Each ▁team ▁looks ▁like ▁a ▁specific ▁character ▁and ▁takes ▁turns ▁being ▁the ▁h unter ▁and ▁the ▁h unted . ▁Hun ters ▁obtain ▁points ▁by ▁assass in ations , ▁while ▁the ▁h unted ▁obtain ▁points ▁from ▁esc apes , ▁st uns , ▁and ▁remaining ▁hidden . ▁The ▁team ▁with ▁the ▁highest ▁score ▁wins . ▁In ▁Ch est ▁Capt ure ▁there ▁are ▁two ▁teams ▁of ▁four . ▁One ▁team ▁is ▁the ▁hun ters , ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁is ▁the ▁h unted ▁who ▁need ▁to ▁ste al ▁ch ests ▁by ▁standing ▁close ▁to ▁them . ▁Each ▁team ▁looks ▁like ▁a ▁specific ▁character ▁and ▁takes ▁turns ▁being ▁the ▁h unter ▁and ▁the ▁h unted . ▁Hun ters ▁obtain ▁points ▁by ▁assass in ations , ▁while ▁the ▁h unted ▁obtain ▁points ▁from ▁esc apes , ▁st uns , ▁and ▁ste aling ▁ch ests . ▁The ▁team ▁with ▁the ▁highest ▁score ▁wins . ▁The ▁Esc ort ▁mode ▁sees ▁one ▁team ▁of ▁four ▁players ▁protect ing ▁a ▁wand ering ▁N PC ▁while ▁the ▁other ▁team ▁of ▁four ▁tries ▁to ▁assass inate ▁him . ▁There ▁are ▁two ▁N PC s ▁to ▁protect ▁at ▁a ▁time ▁and ▁they ▁walk ▁through ▁a ▁series ▁of ▁check points , ▁which ▁are ▁visible ▁to |
▁both ▁teams . ▁When ▁an ▁esc orted ▁N PC ▁is ▁killed , ▁another ▁is ▁synchron ized . ▁This ▁mode ▁has ▁two ▁r ounds ▁with ▁each ▁team ▁playing ▁once ▁as ▁an ▁esc ort ▁and ▁once ▁as ▁assass ins . ▁ ▁Char acters ▁Play ers ▁are ▁able ▁to ▁choose ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 1 ▁available ▁characters , ▁including : ▁Cour tes an , ▁Bar ber , ▁Pri est , ▁No ble , ▁P row ler , ▁Exec ution er , ▁Doctor , ▁Black sm ith , ▁Captain , ▁Sm ugg ler , ▁Engine er , ▁Foot pad , ▁Th ief , ▁H elle quin ▁( a ▁female ▁Har le quin , ▁which ▁is ▁available ▁through ▁u Play ) ▁and ▁Mer cen ary . ▁Two ▁special ▁characters ▁were ▁only ▁available ▁in ▁the ▁selected ▁pre - order ▁ed itions ▁of ▁the ▁game : ▁the ▁Har le quin ▁and ▁the ▁Officer . ▁However , ▁these ▁two ▁pre - order ▁special ▁characters ▁are ▁also ▁included ▁in ▁The ▁Da ▁V inci ▁Dis app earance ▁download able ▁content ▁as ▁are ▁the ▁formerly ▁pre - order ▁only ▁Tra jan ▁Market ▁and ▁Aqu ed uct s ▁special ▁locations . ▁The ▁pack ▁contains ▁ 4 ▁new ▁characters , ▁D ama ▁Ross a , ▁Knight , ▁Mar quis , ▁and ▁Par iah . ▁Each ▁character ▁has ▁unique ▁assass ination ▁moves ▁and ▁a ▁signature ▁weapon . ▁Char acters ▁can ▁be ▁custom ized ▁as ▁the ▁player ▁levels ▁up . ▁These ▁custom ization ▁options ▁include ▁changing ▁the ▁color ▁of ▁the ▁out fit ▁and ▁equ ipping ▁different ▁g |
