Treyarch animator's resume lists development of reportedly Cold War-set game as being "currently" underway; 2010 release date expected.
Last week, rumors surfaced that Activision was working on "Call of Duty 7," the next chapter in the wildly popular first-person shooter series. It stemmed from a report on That Videogame Blog which said that the publisher was looking for "Vietnam War-era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music."
Besides hinting that the game might be set in some of the many guerrilla-conflict hotspots of the Cold War, the now-pulled report also indicated that Treyarch was once again developing. The report made sense, given the annual alternation of Infinity Ward and Treyarch's Call of Duty projects--and the fact the game formerly known as Call of Duty 6 is now the Call of Duty-less spin-off Modern Warfare 2.
Now comes further proof that Treyarch is already hard at work on a new entry in the series. According to the Linkedin resume of an animator at the shop (name withheld), "Call Of Duty 7" is listed as "currently in production." Activision reps had not responded to requests for comment about Treyarch's current project as of press time.
The resume offers no other details on Call of Duty 7, including platforms, ratings, or a release date. However, given the fact Modern Warfare 2 is due out November 10, 2009, a fall 2010 release date appears likely. If the past two games are a precedent, an M for Mature rating and multiplatform release are also all but assured.

So fifty five thousand American soldiers were killed by harsh language in South East Asia?
And there we see the awesomeness that is American schools. All I was taught about the Cold War was US vs. Russia (Soviet Union, to be politically correct) and there was no bloodshed.
Either way, I won't be getting this. Treyarch fucked up W@W too much for me to have an interest in another one of their games.
He's talking about the Korean War Irish, I'm sure you heard about that but didn't know it had to do with the COld War. All the Cold War really was was just a war on Communism, and the US and whoever trying to keep it from spreading.
Fuck CoD haters! Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's bad...
And why the hell WOULDN'T they make a new one every year? They bring in millions each time.
I haven't found a hater in this thread. I see people who are turned off from it because of W@W, and the constant releasing of a game every year. That's not hating to me.
The reason why it's bad to release a game every year, is that it'll end up being the same game, just with a different setting. I'd rather see a game come out 2 years from now that promises tons of fresh ideas.

I wouldnt mind a vietnam game since most of the weapons in Modern Warfare were actually used in vietnam so it really wouldnt feel too different plus airstrikes could be napalm strikes.
