Cool. Now I actually have to watch the video.
 
Edit: This is looking pretty damn impressive. The "morph" feature strikes me as a little odd (woman breaks the line of site and becomes a man) but hey, who really cares? I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

Alright, so it's like the Ship, but with more assassin's creed. Awesome. Love the direction they've taken.

Huh, that is kind of cool. Ubisoft did some cool stuff with multiplayer in Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, so they have made solid games from untraditional multiplayer concepts before. The targets stuff reminds me a bit of a mode in GRAW.

Looks good. Add this to the list of games that the press freaked out about, complaining "they're just shoehorning needless multiplayer into game X. I don't want that! Waaah!" and then were completely wrong.

Exactly what I was thinking. I hope the player limit is raised, though.

Really like what i'm seeing so far, can't wait to get my hands on the game!   
 
I wonder if you'll ever have an assassination target who's also after you at the same time.  When you assassinate a player are they out for that round or do they just respawn.  It would be cool if got points for assassinating someone who just killed you, like a revenge assassination.

why would i want the harlequin player character? wouldn't it just be easier for people to find you? if it isn't, why is ubisoft allowing gamestop to make it easier for players to succeed in multiplayer by giving an unfair advantage?

I think that would defeat the purpose of this mode but maybe it would go into combat then?

This game actually looks really sweet.  I knew Ubisoft had it in them to create an awesome AC multiplayer.

I can't believe they figure how to do multiplayer in Assassin's Creed. Looks awesome. Too bad that damn Gamestop voice ruined the trailer.

I figured this is how it would work. Looks pretty awesome, but I'm forced to wonder just how you're supposed to lose an assassin when they have a radar beacon showing them exactly where you are. Does the morph power remove that beacon?

I feared that the multiplayer would be equivalent to the capture the flag mission in the single player campaign. However, this seems like the right thing to do and I am now totally excited!

This is almost exactly how the top-down, multiplayer only, iPhone game played out. At the end it was the one who could look like an NPC more.

Looks neat but  the things they are doing with the PC version are awful and until they show BGE2 I'm not buying any of their games.

The Doctor skin is awesome!. I'm kind of confused as to wheter or not the single player mode is the continuation of Desmond's story. Can anyone confirm that it is/isn't?

@Titl: We it is a continuation of Ezio and as Jeff said in his write up, Desmond still plays a part but I don't think a major one from what we want

@Titl: yes it is, it begins with Desmond's villa being attacked. I just think it's odd they want down that path because of the ending of II
 
 
but man this multiplayer looks like it could be incredible. I want more gameplay videos to see, but in this mode, are you assassinating other people or just NPCs? and what is your interaction with other players if you are going after NPCs

So I'm not the only one who was instantly reminded of the ship? I'm so happy, the ship was one of, if not my favourite multiplayer game, so I'm definitely gonna give this a look
