Just went onto the teaser site and watched the video. I can't work out the first picture but the others fall into place. The wooden beams on which (Altair) can climb and use to your own advantage i.e. jumping off them and fall onto the helpless guards after sticking your hidden blade into them.

A man, looks like a corpse of Altair with the mechanism of the hidden blade. I'm not too sure but it could be someone else who has written these and been following Altair, on which he hasn't notice yet somebody has followed him. Or it could be Altair himself doing these drawings.

Also in the bottom right hand corner there is a 18+ pegi rating. More gruesome kills and able to chop arms, legs, heads, hands? Hopefully the crossbow or a bow would be nice. Using fire arrows to torch your enemy alives would be class, jumping through citizens windows to get rid of the guards.

Uhm, all artworks in the video were Da Vinci's recordings of human anatomy, only edited by either hand or computer by the company to see how the blade system works and looks like in conceptual art from AC1. Made a LOT of sense of what you were thinking though! and AC1 had a 18+ pegi rating at first also. But that would be awesome if it included more gruesome kills and even more weapons, still, can't wait either way!

Leaked information suggests that the game is set in 15th century Italy and we'll be playing as an assassin named Ezio, which I hear is Italian for eagle. It also claims we'll be able to swim and use gunpowder. idk if it's true

You're all wrong.

It's obviously a clue to the fact that in the second game you play as Leonardo DaVinci and you need to design killing machines then go out and use them on art critics.

Expect Assassin's Creed 2: Critic Killer in the shops soon.

No i know exactly what this is based on the images through the video.

Basically there will be a new kill feature or mechanism, when you see the vertruvian man ( Leonardo DaVinci's drawing of man based on the divine proportion ) You see the wings attached to the shoulders of the man, so i am assuming a glide functionality will be added to variate the way people choose to kill. + the way the drawing elaborated around the hidden blade which eventually lead up to the wings on the man could insinuate a new way of killing the enemy by gliding down then the wings give way leaving you to drop onto your prey...remember the concept behind the hood was an eagles beak so maybe this time you get to glide like an eagle.
