That is what makes me like the older games over the newer ones. I much preferred traversing the rooftops of the larger cities like Venice, Constantinople, Paris, and even London over a couple of sea side villages. I enjoyed being able to look down at the large crowds in the market squares and churches/ cathedrals. 

Narratively, it also made more sense that assassins would have more of a presence in urban areas.

Yeah, and the whole primordial conflict between the assassins and the ancient order lays the ground for some truly horrendous takes on and profound misunderstanding of history.
