Xanatos:
Why he made the people wonder around in the desert for 40 years? I don't know, he probably had no idea where he was going either and used the Apple to keep the people from revolting

Could be that it was a good opportunity to test the Apple's abilities and to perfect his technique with it. That's 40 years of people coming up to him and voicing their discontent only for him to take out the Apple and say something to the effect of, "Does this change you mind?"

Change? Hehehe...

Why'd the Jews wonder around in the Sainai for 40 years? Somebody dropped a quarter.

Ancient egypt would be VERY cool, but I'd prefer if the story continued moving forward in time, rather than backward. I liked piecing together the time between Altair and Ezio through the codex pages, the tablets in the Auditore crypt, etc, and I'd like to do that again for a new assassin.

Then again, if we go further back than Altair, we can see how the Templar-Assassin war was fought before the Assassins and Templars officially existed, how those organizations inherited he war, and all that background stuff. Which would also be cool... argh IDK now :P

I have to admit that anchient Egypt would be quite nice backdrop. But as the story has to progress forward in time for Desmond to be able to actually locate the Pieces of Eden(most of the tombs of significanse in Egypt have already been raided or explored) I'd think more something like 18th/19th century England and France as partially suggested by dalpeva6. The industrial and French revolution, stirring in the royal courts of Europe, political stirr due to the the happenings in the American continent. Plus alot of interesting carrecters including the mythical Jack the Ripper-case. I'd say there is alot to plunge into in that period of time.

But still the fact remains that in the third part of the trilogy Desmond should supposedly be playing the main part as he is supposed to be finding the pieces of Eden.

Thoughts?

I thought that it might be cool if AC3 explored Europe, either during the dark ages, or during World War Two. I could see the Assassin's being behind enemy lines in Berlin as well as occupied Paris, France. Any thoughts?

Nah, WW2 has been overused, I dont think we´ll see that soon, I expect more French Revolution or Victorian England, I definetly dont wish we go to japan, at least not in a major entry to the series, I just dont feel it would be that original, same feeling for egypt

In my opinion, I've been waiting for moreinfo on the story of Desmond, so I'd prefer that AC3 would take place in 2012, with Desmond looking for the other temples.

I think it could be done in a way that has not been covered in WWII games. Especially, if you take into consideration the French resistance as well as espionage on both sides. I think an Assassin in Berlin would be fairly intriguing. when you think about how Hitler confiscated so much art and there were the book burnings. Also, a setting like Stalingrad would be interesting. So many of the codex pages reference WWII age photography, I think if someone can pull off WWII in a way we haven't yet viewed it, it would be Ubi >.<
