OXCGN's David Hilton looks at the history behind Assassin's Creed: Revelations and asks if there really were flamethrowers around in Constantinople during the early Ottoman period.

Driving around in a Renaissance tank or firing a chain gun from a wagon in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood may not be very likely (though these weapons of war were indeed based on Leonardo Da Vinci sketches), but they were surprisingly fun.

So it would be easy for gamers to assume that such liberal license was taken with the newest oddly modern gadget Ezio gets to use in the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed: Revelations: the flamethrower.
