I'm kind of hoping that they won't be predictable, and just put the English on the Templars' side. Otherwise, I'm glad to see the Ezio arc over, so we can move things along a little.

As much as it would make people groan, a WW2 setting could have been interesting. They alluded to it a lot in Subject 16's messages, including to operations happening in and out of battlefields. The spy ring stuff from that era influenced so much of today's fiction, technology was starting to get advanced but still far back enough that it could be makeshift, and stealth conflict was really starting to evolve, not to mention tons of assassinations, resistance movements, and political in-fighting that would make drawing sides really interesting.

Not complaining that they're fast-forwarding a few hundred years, of course. The American Revolution is a neat premise (could also tie up those loose ends from Mario's Map at the end of AC2). My main hope is that it doesn't feel as rushed as Brotherhood or Revelations. Hopefully that "three year" development they've mentioned isn't bullshit.
