Forked from: 2010: Is it Dragonlance? (hint)
What would translate easily from 4E D&D to a possible 4E version of d20 Modern?
Offhand I would guess classes like the fighter and rogue at the heroic level wouldn't be that much different. If magic is allowed, the wizard wouldn't look too drastically different at the heroic level.
Dire Bare said:WotC doesn't have to "integrate" any setting into a points-of-light mode. The core setting is points-of-light, and the Realms was given a makeover to be more points-of-lighty . . . but Eberron has suffered extremely minor changes (mostly additive, like, "where do dragonborn and eladrin come from). Eberron has elements of, but is not, a points-of-light setting.
I don't think we'll see an redo of Urban Arcana anytime soon (but would love it), but if/when it happens, there is no need to make it more of a points-of-light setting. On the other hand, this is perfectly possible to do in a "real world" setting like this. Evil is everywhere, the majority of the populace is unaware, you are one of the few who know the truth, and there are precious few places where you can find refuge . . .
