    Anyone else think that the Armor of Altair looks incredibly dumb?

    I unlocked the Armor of Altair the other day and I immediately started saving for the Missaglias armor.
     
    The color was actually kind of cool, but it added a stupid looking front skirt thing that I just can't stand.

    I don't know what it looks like in AC2 (I'm assuming it's extremely similar to Altair), but in the first game, he looked freakin sweet.  I do prefer Ezio's setup, but Altair's is pretty awesome too.

    No it's different. It expalins in the codecs I think how Altair changed his stuff later on in his life, and that's the stuff you get. 
     
    And I think it looks sweet.

    All the costumes are overly "hey high res graphix!" gaudy and busy for my tastes, especially considering this dude is supposed to be inconspicuous, even though he's the only dude in a hood in the crowd. I've obviously given this more thought than Ubi.

    If you mean 'badass' when you say 'dumb', then yes, I agree completely.

    I always thought Altair's costume is the same as Ezio's. Just fixed and modified each generation. I could most definitely be incorrect.

    I can see that if you hate dress set up then you would dislike the whole suit but I think it's a perfect blend of Ezio's look and Altair's.

    @ryanwho: this. Although i suppose if he dressed like everyone else they wouldn't have a distinctive look to their main character for the box art/promos/adverts, lol. I do think they went over the top for ACII though. Something less conspicuous would have been better. I really liked Altair's costume in the first game, so if they used that and updated the look to make it more Italian somehow i would have been happy.

    Nah, I like it. I seem to like everything about this costume, down to the fact that I can change its color. Dude, that's awesome.

    imo great outfit, except the striped sleeves (unless I missed the codex that describes Altair's summer at gypsy camp).

    Ehh it just feels a little wrong. Especially that front skirt deal, I feel that if that weren't there, I'd like it a lot more.

    it is a little dress like.
     
    I think i prefer his look with the regular armour, also you can change the colour? because i tried changing it to a white and it stayed black...weird.
     
    It does actually fit better when he gets the goatee and is a little older i think.

    I think it'd look better if it was white. I dont like the black. And it looks very different then the armor on the figurine you get with the black edition.

    Figurine

     
    I like the Missaglias  armor, or whatever it was called. The 2nd highest grade.

    you're just thinking too much

    no open windows., or people looking out of them

    i'd actually be lying if i said i didn't agree with you.  the ai is one of my biggest cons. along with the recycled VO and general graphic glitches- there are more then a few to mention.
     
    regardless, it's got one of the best combat systems. ever. and let's not forget about the physics, only second to GTA.

    Just got it moments ago, it looks pretty cool to me. I think I'll dye it another colour, but overall I'm happy that I put in the time to pick up all of the seals.
