can you use the crossbow in the game?

No, the crossbow was never in Assassin's Creed (Only the CGI trailer)since it did not match with the overall gameplay style of being an Assassin.

and yet they insist they are putting a hidden gun in AC2

Its ok in AC2. It fits more with the time period. Plus it wont be like a sub-machine gun where you run around mowing everyone down.

Throwing knives are better than the crossbow, but crossbow is better than a gun >_>

not true the type of gun used in AC2 would have a shorter reload time of a crossbow but also have more power and cause more damage due to the reaction of old lead bullets on impact with a body.

Yeah.I don't get it how will they use the gun,I mean,he's assassin,he must be quiet.The gun makes too much noise.Maybe Ezio will have the world's first silencer .

no, a silencer will be for the future xD
but i do not like the fact that he has a wrist mounted catapult like device to shoot lead balls. i'm not calling it a pistol nor a gun because it simply isn't. I really like the fact of Altaïr being silent with the throwing knives so Ezio seems out of place there.

actually i belive that he will not have a gun but he wwill be able to shoot his hidden blade then aquire a new one from leonardo, his alleged weapon supplier
