This article is about the '''armor''' that is used in the [[Assassin's Creed series|''Assassin's Creed'' series]].

==''Assassin's Creed''==
[[File:ACCharButton.jpg|thumb|Altaïr]]

In the first ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'' game, Altaïr has light armor that consists of leather greaves, leather vambraces, and a leather belt. The vambrace on his left hand has what appears to be metal plating, but it does not function as armor in the game and it is likely there only for decorative purposes or purposes of displaying heightened status within the Assassin Order. Because Desmond loses synchronization with Altaïr whenever Altaïr is struck during combat, it is implied that Altaïr was never hit or wounded in armed conflict or during assassinations. This would be feasible, given Altaïr's capabilites as a warrior and his lineage ([[Those Who Came Before|Those Who Came Before). ]]

===Other Characters===
Armour does appear on other characters in the game, and there are differences in the styles worn by guards in each city. The guards in [[Damascus]] can be found in either lamellar, likely leather, or ringmail armor. Guards in [[Acre]] can be found in brigantine armor and chain mail, some complete with coifs. Guards in [[Jerusalem]] are often found wearing scale or splintmail. Each of these guard types can be found in the [[Kingdom]] near their respective cities. The [[Knights Templar]] uniformly wear full suits of chain mail covered in a white tabbard with a red steel helm covering their face.

==''Assassin's Creed II''==

[[Ezio]] can purchase different types of armor from [[Blacksmith|blacksmiths]] throughout the game's various cities. He can purchase chest armor, greaves, spaulders, pauldrons (bracers), and gauntlets.

Leather Armor is the first available armor and provides health bonuses but no resistance bonuses. Later, he can purchase Helmschmied, a variant of leather with metal inlays; Metal Armor; and Missaglias, a stylized Metal Armor. Each armor after leather offers health bonuses and resistance bonuses. Armor can be damaged though so it's necessary to repair it at blacksmiths regularly. Each armor has a set number of circles that it can resist. In general, twenty squares of combat or falling damage to your synch bar will remove one circle of resistance from every piece of armor you have equipped.

The player is also able to unlock a unique and special set of [[Altaïr's Armor]] by collecting [[Assassin's Seal]]s from different Assassins' Tombs. After finding and placing all 6 Assassin's Seals in the [[Sanctuary]], Ezio unlocks [[Sword of Altaïr|Altaïr]]'s armor. It consists of black clothing with specially made armor integrated into it, akin to the mythical properties of the Golden Fleece. As such, the armor never needs to be repaired. When [[Tailor|dyed]] by the player, all that changes is the inside color of the armor. Page 19 of [[The Codex|Alta]][[Sword of Altaïr|ï]][[The Codex|r's Codex]] reveals that the only suit made was owned and/or created by Altaïr, who destroyed the written formula out of fear for the armor becoming widely used, either by friend or foe alike.

*These pieces have the same resistance as [[The Codex|Alta]][[Sword of Altaïr|ï]][[The Codex|r's]] armour. The Pauldrons and the Greaves also have the same health. The Missaglias Vambraces have one bar high for health than [[The Codex|Alta]][[Sword of Altaïr|ï]][[The Codex|r's]] Vambraces but the Chest Guard has one less bar of health than [[The Codex|Alta]][[Sword of Altaïr|ï]][[The Codex|r's]].

===Other Characters===
All types of soldiers in ''Assassin's Creed II'' are armored: some [[Guards|regular soldiers]], some [[archers]], the "paranoid" [[Seekers]], even the fast moving "[[Agiles]]" and of course the heavily equipped "[[Brutes]]". "Elite" soldiers have more and better armor than regular soldiers, which makes them more resistant to Ezio's attacks and counter-attacks.

'''''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood''''' is an upcoming direct sequel of 2009's ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. Featuring Ezio once again, the game pictures him, now a legendary [[master assassin]], leading his newly found brotherhood in a hunt for Templars. This is also the first game of the series to include a multiplayer mode of any kind.

[[Desmond Miles]] will make an appearance in Brotherhood, so the main storyline does progress. His voice actor [[Nolan North]] has admitted to be working on a new Assassin's Creed game and game developers announced that his story would "take an interesting turn".<ref>[http://www.gamingtarget.com/article.php?artid=10799 Nolan North confirms part in new Assassin's Creed game]</ref>

''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is confirmed to be the final game with Ezio as the main character, since ''Assassin's Creed III'' is confirmed to introduce a new protagonist.

==Story==
Following the events of [[Assassin's Creed II]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] is now a legendary [[master assassin]]. However, after a surprise [[Knights Templar|Templar]] [[Siege of Monteriggioni|attack]] on the town of [[Monteriggioni]], led by [[Cesare Borgia]], the Assassins are brought to the verge of extinction, and the [[First Apple|Apple]] lost.

With [[Mario Auditore|uncle Mario]] dead and his villa in ruins, Ezio must now travel to [[Rome]], center of corruption and power and home of the Templar Order in [[Italy]] in order to regain the Apple of Eden and bring the Templar Order to its knees once and for all.

===Enemies===

*[[Brutes]]
*[[Seekers]]
*[[Arquebusier]]
*[[Guards|Militia Guards]]

===Singleplayer===
Ubisoft claims (through conferences, videos and announces) that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will include new features, especially small gameplay add-on (i.e.: the flying Sequence in [[:Category:Assassin's Creed II|Assassin's Creed II]], different from the rest of the gameplay). New weapons such as the crossbow will be introduced, and new combat elements will also be introduced, rewarding those who attack first, for example. Additionally enemies will more likely attack together instead of just one at a time as seen in previous instalments.

It is also likely that the player (through Ezio) will have to train apprentices, help other assassins, and confront enemies along with them.

Ezio's ability to train and send other assassins on jobs and missions may have a key gameplay element in such that their success may have a small impact of the storyline, much like the progression of the game through upgrading Rome. This success will depend on abilities of the assassins sent, where younger, less experienced assassins will have a higher failure rate than older, more experienced ones. If your assassins die on a mission, they will not return. Ezio may also have the ability to select and bring along a group of assassins to assist in his missions, Ubisoft has said that in Brotherhood leadership is as vital a skill as the ability to use a sword. Also mentioned was the ability to select an assassin as Ezio's "personal assassin", no further information about this was given.

===Multiplayer ===
''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'' is the first Assassin's Creed game to feature a multiplayer mode. The players are Templars in training at the Abstergo facility. They use the [[Animus]] and the [[Bleeding Effect]] to train in combat, stealth and free running. The simulation consists of stalking and killing one another. The area in which the Templar assassins train is selected manually, as pre-set maps.

One of the multiplayer game modes has been announced in the July edition of Playstation magazine. This mode is called "[[Wanted]]". Six to eight players are dropped on a map where they find and kill each other. Each player is given a target, which is another player. Your goal is to find and kill your target without being seen or killed by your own predator. If you break your cover and your target sees you, a chase sequence will commence. They will try to catch and kill you and you will have to hide from them.

In [[Hunter (multiplayer mode)|Hunter]] mode, one player will take the role of an assassin while other players play as guards. Before the beginning of the mission the player will have to choose his class - there is no information how many classes will be available, but each class will have different animations and weapons. After the player has chosen his class, the radar will show him the area where his target is located and the number of enemy players that are searching for him. After the player has found the location where the victim is hiding they must then locate their target. There aren’t many skins for the NPCs so the player might find several identical people on the same location. That will make his job a lot harder because he should kill only one person, and if the player accidentally kills an innocent person he will lose his contract. Therefore, observation is the key to success in this mode. Ubisoft hints that each multiplayer character will appear in some form in the single-player mode too.

No further specifics about game modes are known.

The Beta comes out in September. You can only play the Beta on the PS3. However it is only available in North American for the time being. To get it, you must pre-order the PS3 version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood at Gamestop. You will recieve a code and you must input it on [https://secure.ubi.com/register/Login.aspx?lang=en-US&genomeId=ff009be3-0f75-4486-a6bd-5badd943674f&NextURL=http://assassinscreed.us.ubi.com/ this site.]

Note: If you pre-ordered Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood at Gamestop already and did not recieve a code, you may show your receipt of pre-order to a clerk at Gamestop around August 9 and get a code.

===Physics and effects===
After some criticism from PC gamers about the Ragdoll physics in previous installments, Ubisoft has stated that the physics will be improved upon in ''[[Brotherhood]]'', as well as several graphical effects in the game.

Ragdolls will fall much more realistic due to the new, edited "Havok" engine. In the other games, ragdolls sometimes would convulse when hitting the floor after being thrown off a building.

===Controlling the Assassins===

During the game you will have the option of sending [[Assassins]] to different areas to complete tasks. You will have the ability to send new assassins to other European countries and complete missions to gain status. Once they have proven themselves effectively, they can accompany you on missions in Rome. The new assassins are recruited when Ezio rescues them from harassing guards, which leads them to join the Assassins. You can have the ability to train young Assassins and have them do jobs for you.

If an Assassin fails to pass a mission, he can't be used again. You can also customize the assassins' armor and weaponry, and each one has a different personality. Later on you can use experience points they've gained to upgrade their fighting and free-running abilities.
*So far it's known that you will be able to train at least twelve assassins, male or female, at a time and possibly bring up to five, including the "personal assassin", on missions.
*So far, Ezio and Desmond are the only known playable characters in the singleplayer game campaign
