the morph is so  cheap. Totally defeats the purpose of choosing a player skin.

I think the Harlequin is a nice mix to things I wonder how it will play out in something like AC. But on another note I am really excited for this especially since they decided to continue with the same ancestor

It's the ship it's the ship!
 
I loved the ship. Alot. That game was awesome.
This is the ship only made with a much higher budget, and tagged onto a franchise that gaurentees the game will have a large player base that will also probably stick around alot longer than the ships player base did.
Excited.

Alright, at least I'm a little more informed now. I was afraid that everything in Brotherhood would just be "run around and kill them Templar/Assassin fools!" This, however, looks a lot more involved, intelligent, and paced. Very cool.

looks kind of good, but was that plague doctor AI or a Human player? if you could assassinate (basically everything in you can do in the main game) real players it would be even cooler

Ooh, a multiplayer stealth-em-up ...  
 
Splinter Cell managed to get it right and I always wondered how much better Thief 3 would have been with MP.

Looks cool but stuff like that will never happen in a real game. Everyone will just be running around so it won't be hard to spot people.

Mostly it kind of breaks the immersion, right?
Unless AC3 is set in space I really don't want to see more overworldly powers in these games. The eagle jump was enough.

I hope there's a multiplayer mode that employs the actual combat. (without the insta-kill counter, obviously)

Impressive multiplayer mode, but does it get more complex? I know the number of assassins tracking you is a variable, but how about environments, obstacles, and number of targets? Combat and character interaction too, maybe even with the main cast. That would make it even more appealing and longer-lasting. 
 
Suggestions aside, my nitpick is also the morph ability... why is that woman suddenly a man?! It'd be interesting if you could obtain or unlock a cloak, even a common one, and were made to put it on with good timing to blend in. Either that or continue running away and using the environment to your advantage. 
 
Can't wait to try it out though. THE DOCTOR LOOKS SICK!

They didn't mention the most important part! The civilian NPCs are all the same character models you pick your character from, so at a distance, it's literally impossible to visually tell who's an assassin and who's the computer.

Granted haven't gotten to play AC2 yet but seeing all the MP characters in this I'd have preferred to see some element out of the Hitman series where in the single player you had all the costumes & needed to play the part to get close to the hit then escape. Will know more when I get to play it but that would definitely make more sense to me than MP assassin matches.

looke interesting but definitely need to wait for reviews and real world play because this was just a demo, a controlled showing.  I mean, how will human people actually control the characters?  Seems like the human factor will really affect the gameplay.

From what I can see, this is not at all intended to be about that sort of skill. The focus seems to be much more on making a stealthy approach to your target, and making a rapid escape from your hunters, each having a certain number of tactical approaches. It doesn't expect precision aiming of you in much the same way as something like GTA doesn't: the emphasis is elsewhere. You wouldn't criticize a game like Modern Warfare 2 for not having Mirror's Edge-like traversal or whatever.
 
I wonder if players are rewarded for assassinating other players who aren't their targets, if they can determine who they are, and what sort of discouragement there is from just killing everyone. I'm guessing being too visible makes you a target for everyone or something. Or perhaps you just drain points when the suspicion meter goes up.
