It's all good, except for the "PREORDER AT GAMESTOP WRATHATHAGAHGHA" just completely ruins the mood. If anything, they should put it at the front of the trailer to end it with a nice feeling. Or better yet, shoot the voice actor in the throat. That way he'll sound more like a BAMF and keep the mood going.

I like the harlequin model, but I wish the others models (doctor, and courtesan especially) got the same treatment of an awesome vid and music. and I don't mind the last bit if they would at least Take out the annoying voice.

I don't mind pre-ordering stuff from Gamestop or Amazon if they are going to front money to developers. (I dislike Gamestop for other reasons though, to be clear.)
 
What I mind is that stupid voice at the end. The audio should instead be that of voice actor being dragged out of the recording booth and into the street to be shot.
 
Also, I can't wait to play more AC.

No, this game isn't even about Desmond, it is following Ezio's story further, Desmond is out of the Animus after AC2, none of the Assassin's are people in the Animus in this game. It is a spin off and continuation of Ezio's story. "
Why does it still use the - terrible, might I add - Animus UI? "
Whats wrong with the UI? it has become synonymous with the franchise why get rid of it?

Actually, the in-game Assassins totally are real people. I have no idea what the justification is for the singleplayer mode, unless Desmond just wanted to find out more of Ezio's story, but the set-up for the multiplayer mode, like Haru48 was saying, is that all of the player Assassins are actually Templar agents who are training first-hand in the tactics of the Assassins through the Animus in order to better understand their enemy and face them in battle. Kind of dumb, and I've seen the exact concept used before, but it works.
