I see what you mean, i think the biggest worry about it being set in the modern world would be the inclusion of guns. But the Assassins obviously still use the hidden blade (as seen at the end of the game) and those dumbass Templars didn't come with guns, so there's a possibility that it wouldn't have guns at all. Very unlikely though.
