Swim is a horizontal move so, unless you can have Munch dive underwater I expect water levels in 2D to be quite dull.

Honestly, since swimming was Munch’s major gimmick (besides “jacks into some computers”) I would love to see underwater gameplay in future titles. Munch was really limited in MO and expanding on his role is one of many opportunities to build a better sequel.
As for the 2.5D versus 3D debate – I want the Quintology to continue with 3D. MO had lots of potential but was let down by its restricted development time – the pre-release footage released was very promising.
I don’t think a lot of 3D puzzle-platformer games are out there today, so seeing Oddworld push the envelope in that genre would be much better than seeing a continuation of the 2D platformer genre (what with all the 2D indie games being released these days, and the fact that perhaps Oddworld is
too well-known for its 2D roots).
