I was looking through the guide earlier, and came across this:
"There is one who would accompany you through the gate. She lies not within our sight. The cross darkens the horizon." - Juno
The final two sentences of this statement are open to a variety of interpretations, but the most plausible explanation is that Desmond's blossoming friendship - indeed, suggestions of growing intimacy - with Lucy might distract him from the road the First Civilization would have him travel. "The cross darkens the horizon," feels like an oblique reference to secret Templar affiliation, which her Assassin upbringing renders unlikely, or perhaps a future betrayal. A line from Subject 16 (during Brotherhood after the completion of the ten 'Rift' puzzles) could also insinuate a hidden allegiance, or simply that Desmond's burgeoning relationship with Lucy would never come to pass. "She is not who you think she is," cautions Sixteen. "Everything you hope to become, everything you hold dear. It's already gone."

The main problems that I have with this it's that if it weren't for Lucy Desmond or the group wouldn't have gotten as far as they have and killing her will significantly hinder their chances of succeeding in saving the world so I find it doubtful that she could possibly be distracting Desmond from the road the First Civilization wants him to travel.

I don't understand the whole "one who will accompany you through the gate" thing either. Are they talking about a new person or are they referring to the fact that Lucy WOULD do it, and they don't want her to?
Also, I never understood the e-mail Lucy sent to Shaun in Brotherhood that says "this just in: Rebecca is a Templar". Because that and Shaun's reply did not look like they were in jest.

Shaun was the one who sent the e-mail to Lucy. That's his hilarious response to Rebecca telling Lucy that Shaun was the one who stole Lucy's yogurt and offered some to her and Lucy punishing him with clean up duty. Shaun is a dirty yogurt thief and stealing from Lucy can have dire consequences.

Also, wasn't that email ALSO sent to Rebecca? Doubt he was being serious.

Well, let's be fair here. He IS the only one stuck in a chair, unconscious, for good portions of the day probably everyday. No one sends that guy e-mails.

Which makes you wonder how Shaun could possibly think he was going to get away with stealing Lucy's yogurt. There's only 4 people there, Lucy's the injured party, Desmond is in the animus all day so that leaves Shaun and Rebecca and Shaun makes the incredibly stupid move of offering Rebecca some of the yogurt. So the only other person who could've been incriminated its now a witness of his crime.

Another rumor for the American Revolution
I don't particularly care where it goes, and I'm sure people will complain about something else being in America. But I can't think of any games outside of the occasional strategy game that takes place in the revolutionary period. Or any period that isn't WWII, actually. So I think it could be fun.
...Or maybe I'm just biased because I wanna see Philadelphia finally show up in a video game

This might actually increase my interest in American History

God no!!!! 2 years of AP US history and now this!!!??!?!? American history is so dryy...I mean having assassins in it will probably liven things up, but there are soooo many better places...
but for a March release of the next game I think it might be worth it...

I'd love it for during the american revolution. Screw anyone that says otherwise
Japan would have been another cool place, and there were a couple other good ideas out there too. And I would have liked any of them. But idk, I really like this idea too because I think there's so much that can be done with it.

Japan is no less overexposed than America in video games, imo. But Assassin's Creed has proven it can make just about any setting interesting with it's near-but-slightly-different-altered historical accuracy. I certainly never would have asked for a game set in Renaissance Italy and that turned out to pretty fascinating and possibly the most educational game I have ever played.
I think American History is interesting and more people probably would but hating on the US is in vogue these days. And at least it isn't in freaking New York or LA.

How many open world games take place in japan? Especially western games. The only games I can think of are the Yakuza series and those are hardly open world like AC games are.
Overexposed my arse. I'd happily take any other eastern setting however. Egypt or India would be cool.
Derp.

the setting of Renaissance Italy was pretty much what convinced me to buy the game (and a PS3). It's been an interest of mine for years and I hadn't seen anyone use it.
I'd rather they do American Revolution than Japan tbh.

I wouldn't have liked a title in Japan, either. Seen rival ninjas overplayed all the time.
...The first piece of imagery I get is a drummer boy impaling a british trooper, not sure if that's a good thing...
I just can't see it being as free as the other games. Could you get away with running on the rooftops in the colonies, and not shoot everyone you see? That's what really bothers me

Even if the Renaissance was pretty random, the time period was interesting it had so much potential and they siphoned out that potential really well, but the American Revolution?

OH YEAH. Egypt, man, that would have been pretty awesome.
