ok i just bought black flag and loving it, i played the 1st one and loved it , the 2nd one too. But i'm wondering, in black flag i can't find a command to walk in stealth, in the 1 and 2 i could, i'm playing with a playstation1 pad wondering if that's why

Nope, no stealth in AC3 or AC4, not like you remember it from previous games. You have to use cover for stealth. Look around with Eagle vision and you'll see highlighted areas of bushes and other places you can hide in like hay wagons, doorways, hay piles, etc. But, just walking along, there is no high profile and low profile options anymore. You remain "stealthed" by either walking in groups of people or hiding in bushes, or using objects like trees, small buildings, other objects, etc to hide behind to break line-of-sight. You can also "push up against the corners of buildings" to put your back and shoulder against the wall and kind of look around the corner. You can do stealthed assassination kills from cover like this, as well as from the other hiding places I listed.

Stealth has been revamped a little.

You can still walk up behind them. Just don't run, and you'll gain speed on them with the "faster-walk" button. Spacebar, by default. Makes Edward catch up to targets, and then you can backstab like always. :-)
