How would you like it to play out?
For me, maybe being a little ambitious with my wishes here, would need a new engine to make it a reality but......
I would love to see it play out on the scale of Planetside 2, think of the battle scenes from Starship Troopers. Oh Yeah.....

... and then imagine being a skulk in that fight.
Honestly, I'd just like to see the final pieces of the NS2 puzzle put into place before worrying about NS3. There's life in this old dog yet, provided we get some performance boosts (among some tweaks to stop gameplay getting stale).
However if NS3 becomes a thing, I'd like to see a slightly larger, terrain based game with the same rts/fps principle. Instead of fighting over res points you'd fight over small bases/fort areas of strategic importance. They could be fortified by either side and of course could include a res point within it. I'd say 64 player max, which works well for other fps games that have open gameplay.
New alien lifeforms would be obviously needed due to the more open/larger playing field. Combat would still be very much player v player, gun v mouth, but each side could have some form of squad transport. Marines could have some kind of space jeep and aliens a large lifeform that could transport smaller/slower life forms (larger/faster lifeforms wouldnt need it).
Oh, god, make the pain stop. Have you learned nothing from the experience so far?
Amirite?!
right now there are only 2 games (as i know - ns1 & ns2, savage 2) with a real hybrid fps / strategy gameplay style,
so it would be probably a hybrid of this kind again.
Pretty cool, huh?
Coming way too soon, it's Natural Selection 3.
In the end the Marines jump higher than the Skulks, the Fade costs a lot and hurts a little, oh no wait that's NS2.
And @Chikun everytime I see your dang avatar I crack up, then get creeped out. Sometimes in opposite order.
Fixed that for you
@Kamamura ...Heinrich?
Also: Natural Selection 3D! Because that name is so creative!
However if ns3 pops up soon then i would like it to focus on underwater world.
Where gameplay is vertical, marines start at the top of the sea and aliens at the bottom.
Don't take the route xcom is going. We would have to wait another 15 years for a good game.
