Well yeah, the flag collecting is for crazy people but then isn't any "Achievement" whether it be on Xbox or Steam? Seriously, if you go out of your way to collect all the flags you either have OCD or you're just trying to ruin the game for yourself. I found them a (visual) distraction useful only as location save-points (which apparently was their original purpose), but I really don't think you can hold it against the game too much. They're basically there for the ignoring.

Did you play the 360 version or the PC version? Because as I mentioned above I really didn't find the PC game (with the added missions) all that repetitive. As long as you don't try to rush through it and change up your tactics a bit there's plenty of variation in both pace and actions. If you were trying to complete the whole thing in under a week: sure, I can see how that might start to grate, but a brief daily excursion to the ancient cities of the Holy Land worked nicely for me...
