What unfair advantage?
It's just a skin.

Actually the trailer says Character and each character seems to have their own abilities... so unless the Harlequin has the same abilities as one of the other characters this could be interpreted as an advantage.

@Titl: From what I gathered on the 'net, the devs have said this is not AC3.  That makes sense, because this is the same engine, with the same mechanics as ACII.

Ugh, I wish they would do away with this stupid "first" quest already. Getting tired having to scroll through a bunch of useless comments that are just attempts at getting this quest, rather than actually saying something about the video. 
 
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I feel a bit better. 
 
This looks like an interesting way to play multiplayer. But I wonder if being stealthy is really the key, or if you can go running across rooftops, and jump your target. If so, then I'm sold.

Morphing to different genders seems like cheating in multiplayer.  Changing outfits at a taylor's seems like a more realistic approach to me.

Gameplay looked less interesting than in Assassin's Creed II.   I don't see how this can work very well.
 
And the insult to injury was the POWER TO THE PLAYERS telling me the character I just saw was a pre-order bonus.  DIE GAMESTOP.

That just blew my mind. I thought Assassin Creed multiplier would have failed horribly but it actually looks good.

Well, that skin looks quite blue and prominent, so whatever abilities it has, it looks pretty easy to see, so it must balance somehow.

Morph is very stupid.
 
Also, I didn't understand if the characters were NPCs or actual players. I hope it works both ways, if not only versus players.

Changing skins as a power-up pulls you out. How do they justify it as an assassin's skill?

Well, MP is shaping up better than I expected. But I'd still want a hefty dose of single-player goodness to make this a buy.

So is the story of multiplayer just dudes dicking around in the Animus for fun? That'd be pretty hilarious.

i can see this as the type of multiplayer that will have players that are way to good at it to fast, if you dont get this game on release day you probs wont be able to catch up. hopefully it will not be so

This looks cool, but i don't see a huge lifespan for it.  But you know what, that's just fine. 
  
I'm most interested in the SP, and the MP just functions as icing on the cake.  I don't need a full-featured 'spend 5 months on it' MP for it to be worthwhile.  If I can get a few fun games every so often that isn't just 'shoot everyone you see' than I am content.

I enjoyed Assassin's Creed, but it'd be difficult to convince me this game is worth buying.  At the very least, I hope there's a strong story mode attached.

This looks better than I thought it would. Could be a lot of fun to try and assasinate other players if it's done right.

This E3 walkthrough made it much more clear how the multiplayer works in this game. Looks pretty good as well.
