    Ezio is in front and in color, which contrasts the others behind him which are not, showing that there are two different modes you can play ACB: Single-Player and Multiplayer.  
    JK Just a logical guess. :P

    I don't have this game so I'm probably wrong, but I thought the Templars in multiplayer were all disguised as Assassins as part of an Animus training program.

    Because it looks better than a bunch of people all wearing the same outfit.

    Because those templars are also the skins for the multiplayer and its one of the big new features in the game.

    Ezio is contrasted with the others on the cover because they are his enemies.  He has his wrist blades drawn and raised, giving him an unfriendly pose as everyone else regards him from behind his back, which is also unfriendly.  Even more notably, Ezio is shown in full color, while the others are in black and white, again contrasting the two as opposites (protagonist vs antagonists).

    Because the PR people who were in charge of the game's box art don't actually know the specifics of the story and were just given a bunch of assets and told to do market research to see what tested well.

    Because he's bad ass that way. 
     
    Plus with those double knifes, he is being double the bad ass, which is just crazy!! 
     
    Not to mention that little smirk he has. That means he's just having some fun while being bad ass.

    Could always ask the guy who designed the boxart. He's a member on this site, and he's posted the other box covers he's done as well. I can't recall his name atm, though.

    ...because in a moment, Ezio will turn around and waste all of them. Face and neck stabbing.

    He's trying to get that elusive Sextuple-Escape bonus for his final achievement. He really wants that S-rank.
