Feudal Japan. It'd be like the latest Tenchu games but good.
Seriously though, it'd be freaking awesome.

...Okay, Desmond's now lived the lives of two major figures in the history of the Assassin Brotherhood, was born into the conflict, and has apparently two weeks in the modern day timeline before Abstergo launches their new mind control macguffin to coincide with the end of the Mayan Calendar. Is it really too much to ask for a modern day adventure? Sure, we can no longer write off deaths with "desynchronizations," but in my mind those raised stakes would make the sneaky sneaky stab stab game even more entertaining.
Oh, you want to keep it a historical setting? Fine. Afghanistan, during the Cold War. Having to continuously nudge the balance of power between the USSR, the CIA, and the local rebels. Including one particular rebel who is bound to piss off Middle America with his inclusion (hint: they still haven't shown the body). Besides, wouldn't it be nice to know what Desmond's immediate family had to do with the ongoing Assassin/Templar war? Maybe get to see ol' grandpa Miles shanked by a youthful Vidic, if we want to continue tying up loose ends?
Side note: Why is Ubisoft asking our opinion now? If they want their release date for AC3 to coincide with the end of the Mayan calendar, they've to to have work wrapped up by early October, right?

I think the American Revolution setting would work as it's the only remaining option for Desmond's acestry... That doesn't seem ridiculous.
Late 19th/ Early 20th century Russian ancestors would seem a bit odd...

Ugh, sounds like they're listening to the morons who want it set in America -__- IT WON'T WORK THERE!! Japan sounds like a perfect place, I would love to see that. But China and Egypt would also be really cool to see. But in any setting where guns are common and there are no tall buildings (i.e. Colonial America) goes totally against the whole game design of the series.
Argh it's "asks," not "ask's!" What is the world coming to?!
*ahem*
It would be pretty awesome if the next AC game were set in a revolutionary period (e.g. France, Russia). Feudal Japan would be pretty cool too.

Victorian England would be a brilliant setting, and allow the game to take a darker route with the bleak setting of late 1800's London, Jack the Ripper and his spree, gaslamp illuminated streets, hell it could even allow for a female protaganist, a prostitute that survived the Ripper.
