This looks just like The Ship, but no doubt will still attract a large crowd.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

@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

@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

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?

I'm much more excited for this now than I was when I first heard about multiplayer Assassin's Creed.

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.

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.

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!
