I was reading That VideoGame Blog the other day, and came across an artical about a possible upcoming Call of Duty game, to be developed by Treyarch.
Quote:
A source we consider reliable has told TVGB that Activision is looking to licence music for “Call of Duty 7,” music that gives some serious hints as to the locations the game may take us. Mentioned were Vietnam War era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music. The source says Call of Duty: World at War’s senior producer Noah Heller is involved, so it looks like Treyarch is once again developing.
Credibility to the change from WWII is added by Heller himself who last year said they “are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war. I’m sure game companies will be making World War II games for years to come and World War II is a very classic war. But we’re happy that we put the war to bed.”
While Modern Warfare 2 is still six months from release, someone under Activision already working on a new Call of Duty game isn’t very hard to believe when considering the cold hard fact that there’s been a new release in the series every single year since 2005, and Modern Warfare 2 will continue that tradition this year with its November 10 release.
I'm more excited about this than i am about Modern Warfare II. I really like what Treyarch brought to the series, and am really hoping they'll be given another game to develop.
The Vietnamese conflict would provide a lot of scope for some exciting ideas, especially. I can see some scripted action events involving the "home made" Vietcong booby traps. And really, more video games should make use of napalm.

yeah i saw this over a Kotaku and over at the other forums. sounds good but ill hold my excitement until there is official confirmation. i can say i am slightly getting tired of the WW2 settings and they need to move on either to vietnam or somethign similar or in the future even(just not haloish).

I'm not too jaded by the World War 2 thing yet. It was such a massive and important conflict, that there is probably enough about it to fuel a lot more games. World at War put a fresh spin on it by setting part of the game in the Pacific theatre. I'd like to see the African theatre explored a little more in an upcoming game sometime in the future... though it's definitely time to lay WW2 to rest temporarily.
I think it would be cool to go back in time, and set a CoD game in the trenches of World War 1 but as i say, Vietnam sounds very exciting too.
I think it'd be cool to see a completely fictional take on the Cold War, as if the U.S. or Russia was invaded (or something similar). Just without the nukes, cuz that would be no fun.

I always said that a Vietnam game would awesome, but I've yet to play a good one, the Shellshock games are absolutely horrible. I bet if Infinity Ward made a CoD Vietnam game it would sell like crazy, not saying there other titles don't already.
A Cold War game might be cool, but if Treyarch is making it, I'll definitely be passing it over. CoD 3 was garbage, and while WaW wasn't as bad, it still wasn't anything good. I'm looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 so much because it's back in Infinity Ward's hands.

Western Europe in the 1980's... Ronnie and Maggie take Gorbachev's Glasnost the wrong way and the shit hits the fan. You could have it in any year of the cold war, but the eighties strike me as the best because the hardware was superb and had been stockpiled for decades... nuclear powered ships, the modern tanks were entering service alongside the WW2 derivatives, there was a bit of variance in infantry weapons (battle rifles versus assault rifles)... Battleships!!!being fictional and not modern day, you could play as both sides. Jump from being a German heavy infantryman tasked with decimating a Soviet armoured unit to a Warsaw Pact conscript fighting against US Marines in the Baltic, then to Spetznaz attacking NATO HQ in the UK.
Vietnam hasn't been done many times as a game. Battlefield went to Vietnam, and it was a pretty good game... but its probably considered to be the worst in the series. Vietnam just doesn't translate to a game very effectively.
I agree about Vietnam not translating too well into a whole game, which is why i think they're trying to secure rights to music that better represents other areas of conflict during the Cold War era too.
I can see there being enough scope within the Vietnam war to maybe base three or four good levels on. But a whole game, with the traditional CoD style gameplay? Almost certainly not.
The VIetnam conflict would fall under a Cold War scenario, as would several secret CIA led military operations in Africa. There is enough to make a game out of, trust me.
