So I unlocked Altair's armor in AC2 last night. That was all I really wanted, so I feel like I've beaten the game already.

It's that old chestnut: How do you dangle a carrot in front of the gamer for the whole game whilst giving him time to enjoy the carrot before the game is over?

I'm glad you got the armour- it was indeed a compelling aspect of the game. Sorry it's defocused you. I hope you stick it out and find something else exciting to do, like collect 1,000 flags or something.

I would recommend picking up ACB as soon as you can because it does directly follow on the story of ACII and I think you'll remember the story/characters better. Unless you're experiencing any kind of genre fatigue, then in that case you'd be better off waiting.
