Quarter staff definitely isn't useless against a sword.

spitballs

also there is alot more than 2 sword types, same as there are sevral differant kinds of axe from throwing axes/hatchets to battle axes. alot of the weapons will be multiple kinds of each weapon.

*Points to the Wheel of Time series*
A charactor in that series was able to take on and beat two guys who had swords. If you know how to use a quarter staff it can be quite good against a sword if not better

Uhh... perhaps using a fantasy book as evidence doesn't help my argument, so.. what if you argue for the quarter staff in that corner and I argue in this one

Your example just shows that the guy is most likely stronger and more skilled than the other two. I was thinking if two equally skilled people were fighting, the one with the sword would come out on top.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

What about a Garrote?

Edit: Also there could be some kind of poison dart.

No, not quite so. A quarter staff can even be better than a sword in spacey environments. Even against an equally skilled opponent. Swords were, for obvious reasons, better for warfare, though.

staves, for the most part, were used to keep an enemy at bay, as a defensive weapon and not so much lethal. They were long in length and light weight making them fast to move, you can see how it could be used to simply push away an opponent or disarm, or sometimes knock unconscious but rarely kill someone.

Moqqy you have a point there, but still a sword is more lethal than a quarterstaff imo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterstaff

And quoted at the bottom:
"In Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books, one of the heroes, Mat Cauthon, is an expert quarterstaff fighter, once defeating a pair of highly-trained apprentice Warders while recovering from illness. Several other characters, such as Juilin Sandar, are also acquainted to the quarterstaff."

Just cause it's a fantasy series doesn't mean one weapon is weaker then the other, logically if you know how to use a weapon like a quarterstaff you could easily disarm a swordsman if not two... Frankly I'd love to see Ezio using a Quarterstaff to beat on some guards.

Well I did my research....
http://www.historicalweapons.com/otherweapons.html

"Although a simple, “commoner” weapon, the staff was truly fearsome in the hands of a master, so much so, that Silver felt it was superior to any form of sword."

You guys were right....ugh...

Someone with practice can kill a man with a minigun using a popsicle stick. You can't use particular people as an argument

Swords have their ups and downs, staves have their ups and downs. Problem solved!

A weapon in the hands of a master can be better then any other weapon. Hell if you know how you could kill a guy with a tooth pick >.<

Master vs Master....

As in master quarterstaff vs master swordsman...

That would be kinda creepy to see Ezio with a scythe.

But I'm sure it'd be Grim's favorite weapon.

I hope they don't go overboard with weapon variety. More doesn't always mean better.

In almost any other game: YESPLZ

for Assassin's Creed?

...nah. >_> it's not fitting...

I just saw the demo, the smoke bomb seems plausible since it was used by the Ninja less than a century afterwards. And Da Vinci was clever, he may have discovered it first. Still not sure about the flying machine though... hopefully there's only one.
