Remember that awesome Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer back from E3? Well Ubissoft has released the same trailer with a few more seconds of scenes along with dialogue instead of music.
The trailer indicates that the snowy fortress looking place where he fends off against hundreds on Templars is Masyaf, which now makes total sense. The whole trailer is awesome, especially the end, if the end doesn't prove how much of a badass Ezio can be, then I don't know what will.
I can't believe you didn't know that the tower was masayaf. That was the first thing that came to mind when i saw it. Anyway that was such an amazing trailer, Ezio is the definition of badass.
