I'm hoping the script leaks are simply backstory, and not the beginning of a single player narrative. Part of the appeal of syndicate was that your agents were simply anonymous and disposable (albeit upgradeable) assets, not characters you identified with and progressed in a rpg fashion as you played through the game. When/if you lost agents, you didn't reload your game, you simply unfroze some more from the cryo chambers, and decked them out in the latest weapons and body mods you'd researched.
I'd be reasonably happy with a GTA style game environment (as has been rumoured), squad based mechanics, non-linear mission structure, research and tech, and an interactive game world that draws more from syndicate 1 that syndicate wars.
Two things I'd love to see the return of a) the persuadatron and b) the ability to control agents adrenaline/accuracy/aggression via chemicals. Nothing more fun that after a big fight, seeing your group of citizens enslaved via the persuadatron picking up weapons from the ground and then setting everyone to max agression level, as your mob swarmed all over the map, crushing all resistence...:D

Syndicate was a strategy game?
I always thought it was a light squad and rpg based game with a heavy focus on shooting and a set amount of static missions.
What made it great was the isometric shooter at its core.

What made it good was that it was an isometric shooter. What made it great was that little scream that flamethrower victims gave off.
