...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.
ideally in my PC on time without draconian DRM and the usual contempt.
time wise? october revolution(that took place in November), it makes for a nice input of new technology without making going all out.
it also is a scenario that hopefully won't be milked as much.

The ones I find would be interesting, in order of preference:
-The violent conflicts of the Imperial Dynasties in Medieval China
-The overthrow of the Tsar Empire by the Communists during the Russian Revolution
-The rise of Cesar's Empire in Ancient Rome
-The Warlord Battles in Feudal Japan

*The overthrow of the Tsar Empire by the Communists during the Russian Revolution. Yes please!! The tsar being a templar and the Communists being Assassins anyone?
Any. I don't mind. Except for Feudal Japan. Fuck feudal Japan. I am sick of it. Every ten minutes somebody brings up how amazing Japan is, and I will genuinely not buy a game set in feudal Japan. I hate it. Every aspect of it. The names, the culture, the style, just...NOT feudal Japan. Please.
FRENCH REVOLUTION, YOU BASTARDS. I'm never going to get a game set there, am I? ;__;
Either Victorian England, or the Russian Revolution. So far the series has been progressing in chronological order, and I think it would be a tad stupid to suddenly jump back all the way to somewhere like Rome or medieval China. Setting it one or two centuries off from present time seems appropriate.

Cause of all the places that Britain had in it's empire at the time. But not america actually that wasn't part of it at the time.
