CoD7: Vietnam?
As some have wondered before, including myself, could there ever be a Call of Duty set in Vietnam? There is a rumor that indicates so, and it does have some good points to back it up. Some gamers always deny that future Vietnam games will be made because of the subject matter or because previous games have failed, although I really enjoyed Battlefield: Vietnam. Call of Duty could be the franchise to make a successful Vietnam game. Treyarch has done quite well with the Japanese environments and that could lend well to a Vietnam style game. Read some info below from That Video Game Blog which has brought this rumor to the surface.
While it is just a rumor at this point and time, the line from Mr. Heller of, "But we’re happy that we put the war to bed” is a convincing point that Treyarch is probably moving to some other war besides WWII. What are your thoughts? Confederates or Yankee zombies anyone? Vietnamese, Cuban, or Russian Zombies? Treyarch is usually creative with their games, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

A source we consider reliable has told TVGB that Activision is looking to license 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.
