Personally I'd be happy if the next game was more like two than either 1 or 3. The 1st game's combat was fairly tedious, and I'm not gonna even start with how much I disliked driving around on that mako. However, it did have some amazing storylines and really fun quests. The 3rd game was, in my opinion, a really fun 3rd person shooter with some good storytelling elements. I feel two blended these together well, and I would be willing to sacrifice some of the smoothness of the action in 3 for more of the rpg element of 1, which is what I believe two did now that I can look at the trilogy in hindsight.
