it should take place in Saudi Arabia or Spain in the 1550ad with a new character. also there should be little groups of assassins that follow you like the thieves in II and brotherhood. it should also still have the sword as the main weapon. the story line about this should be the second piece of Eden.
Next time period for Assassin's Creed 3?

Victorian England, and I will bow to Ubisoft and declare them my master.
Oh, and something having to do with vikings would be swell. I'd love to rape, pillage, and plunder in the name of THOR! Oh wait, I'd be an Assassin... so I'd STOP the rapes, the pillages and the plunders in the name of Thor!

I think it'd be interesting to switch to various time periods at a time (no pun intended). It'd be an interesting climax for the series, and we'd get to see a bunch of different time periods, maybe even in sequential order. Of course the game shouldn't switch between too many timelines at once, that'd be a little ridiculous and overwhelming. I think a limit of 4 or 5 or something. And then the last mission would be Desmond putting all his Assassin training into one last awesome mission (whatever the awesomeness is would be up to Ubisoft)
Well, let's see - what are the key elements of Assassin's Creed games?
- Expansive cityscapes
- Rival factions, most notable one serving as front-of-the-day for the Templars
- Mobility
- Some link back to Altair and the Crusades
Now, one thing is definitely fixed: eventually, Assassin's Creed WILL conclude in modern times and that episode might require a bit of a formula change. Think about it - guards today no longer come running to the site of a murder, swords drawn. They come in cars, they come in helicopter, they use pistols and SMGs. And that's only the beginning. An open world approach like in the first two games will need to be altered somewhat for this to work.
The most important part is probably that we need a sufficiently urbanized setting for this to work. The Italian city states of the early renaissance were notable in this respect, as were the cities of the crusader states. But after that, there is a long time without any of that. Urbanization begins to re-start at about 1830. That leaves us with the following options:
- Industrialized European country (somewhat likely if they are not going for the final installment yet)
- WW1 & WW2 Europe (unlikely as a war setting would be a bit too focused on open conflict and too "twitchy" to begin with for the relevant ancestor to work properly)
- Cold War Europe (don't see that happening, due to it requiring exactly the changes noted above, and if they got those, they could just go on to make the final game in the series already)
- Modern Day (other likely option and essentially what everything has been building up to)
- Expansive cityscapes
- Rival factions, most notable one serving as front-of-the-day for the Templars
- Mobility
- Some link back to Altair and the Crusades

I second your Colonial USA idea. At first I was skeptical, but then I heard someone compare it to Gangs of New York. I'd say that's perfection right there.
Victorian London could be just as amazing though. Especially if they add a weather engine. London ain't perfect without dreary, misty mornings and no AC game in that setting can be complete without lurking on a rooftop in a torrential downpour.
Then again, it could just as well continue in modern times. Especially if my own theory about AC's story is right I wouldn't know where Desmond would get an animus from and...well, the team to man it.
