If true, this would be awesome. Treyarch needs to restore some dignity to the COD franchise, but tackling Vietnam is no easy task.Call of Duty’s rumour mill has suddenly kicked into life with two bits about the future of the guns, guts and glory franchise. There’s talk of a Vietnam War based Call Of Duty due this year and rumours that Infinity Ward won’t develop Modern Warfare 3.
Modern Warfare 2 was an entertainment juggernaut, creating controversy and massive sales but VG247 is claiming that developer Infinity Ward has moved onto “something completely new”. It claims a source recruits games developers.
Infinity Ward has made no statements about its next project is. Modern Warfare 2 DLC packs were announced yesterday for release this spring, initially as Xbox 360 exclusives.
If Infinity Ward does drop its association with Modern Warfare, there are strong indications that Sledgehammer Studios, a San Francisco based developer, could pick up the baton. It recently advertised for a multiplayer designer with experience of working on console and PC based shooters.
Meanwhile gaming sites are a quiver with rumours that the next instalment of the main Call of Duty series, developed by Treyarch, will be Call of Duty: Vietnam. It’s suggested that the story will focus on the story of individual members of an American platoon during the Vietnam War.
It’s thought that Call Of Duty: Vietnam will take its inspiration from war movies like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. Last month the developer put up a job ad seeking a Call of Duty level designer able to use historical research while Activision explored licensing a soundtrack of Vietnam war era rock’n’roll last year.
I also sincerely hope IW is done. They can go themselves for all I care.

I hope there's a My Lai mission.

what a heartwarming image BB
What about playing as a VC/NVA and getting to slaughter innocents in Hue during TET???
Somehow I think that if they do a level along the lines of the airport mission in MW2, it won't be based on real events that could pry open some very raw emotional wounds. I would guess they would do something totally fictional, yet within the realm of possibility. In that crazy, misguided war, just about anything was possible.
There should also be a stage where you get to spray Agent Orange all over South Vietnamese peasants.
I can't help it...I lol'd
cod
it became after cod 4
So does this rationalization also apply to 9-11 victims murdered in cold blood? I mean, war's , right?
I've heard that from other people as well
Yep. It's kill or be killed. Unfortunately.
If we're going to have COD Vietnam, might as well make the sequel COD Injun War.
"It’s thought that Call Of Duty: Vietnam will take its inspiration from war movies like Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket."
Don't go out on a limb or anything.
I was hoping they would kill off this franchise after MW2.
Way too many dollars involved for that.
And its funny - where are all the 'lol treyarch/waw' comments? I was thinking about about how I predicted MW2 would be very similar to MW except with an updated gfx engine, and how Treyarch has just as much a stamp on the series as IW and is actually much better at putting out extra content and supporting their fans, and how I was blasted for both ideas. Fast forward, IW successfully ends up ing over all of their original fans and then some, puts out a very similar product to previous incarnations, and Treyarch is slated to develop the next CoD game.

Are you kidding me? mw2 isn't even a cod game. WaW has more in common with cod4 than mw2 does. You think everybody's issue is that they think mw2 didn't do enough to be different? It's a radical ing departure from everything cod4 did right. Not similar at all. Might as well be a different franchise.puts out a very similar product to previous incarnations
Justto that whole response. I'm not gonna judge here but I know from other responses you are disappointed in MW2, and your dislike is apparent.
I mean, WTF is so different about it?
The most radical change you can possibly mention is the killstreak rewards - and IW just expanded upon what they already here. For example, the Harrier is simply a combination of the Chopper and Airstrike from 4.
You can shoot down any plane probably the most radical change they made IMO. Shooting down recons can change a game completely.
The campaign still isn't co-op which still pisses me off. I mean, why have a gamemode composed mostly of scenarios from missions for 2 players instead of just combining all that into the coop campaign? Once you beat them in the actual campaign, it could unlock them for later 'scenario gametype' usage. What's funniest here is WaW has it and MW2 still didn't include a true coop campaign.
It's the exact same game modes online, with the exact same leveling system (70 instead of 55 now) plus some artwork to individualize yourself. Same as 4.
The guns are all upgradeable with an assortment of attachments, but this is once again expanded from a previous incarnation's build.
There are no pilotable vehicles like WaW. Which also means are the maps are around medium sized on average (compared with similar FPS games). Both just like 4.
What's so different?
You're being dumb again. I don't have time to write a list now, but I've yet to see a post at iw.net imploring IW to make MORE changes. I'm yet to hear somebody about something they DIDN'T add to the game.
I mean really, I'm not gonna hold your hand. Between a litany of new, bull and/or malfunctioning perks, to the ty maps, to 30 new killstreaks, to the augmentations in gameplay made to satiate noobs and Halo fanboys, to the fact that the game is a broken mess of glitches, to just the way it looks and feels graphically, if you can't see how different (for the worse) this game is, then , that's on you.
IW didn't do enough different?at that. They basically broke the game by trying to do way too much.
Nicely done with the incredibly vague examples there. "It just feels wrong!!" You're the one who needs his hand held. The game is fundamentally the same in almost every regard and there's little argument against it.
In addition- you seem to think that I wanted iw to change the product??? Why??? I loved cod4. I was basically hoping mw2 would be nothing more than a huge map pack for cod4. I wanted a theater ala Bungie and I wanted to be able to choose the direction my airstrikes came in from. That's about it.
Just because you are obsessed with MW1 doesn't mean the rest of the world is being paid to stand still. Let me tie this in with my earlier arguments, and with IW's obvious knowledge of you and a million others inclinations toward MW1: if you look at the game objectively, it's fundamentally the same, only expanded. They simply expanded everything. You can point to almost any of the game's features and say the same.
You're so stupid. The controls are the same. That's it.
Vague examples? I can't even begin to list all the new bull this game failed at implementing as literally every new feature they added is broken or ridiculous. You want specifics? Turn the game on and figure it out. EVERYTHING is different.
Is this the best you've got?
Why not?Vague examples? I can't even begin to list all the new bull this game failed at implementing
Smack talk and jokes aside, I hope no one seriously pledges allegiance to companies that develop consoles/games. Lady Gaga could develop the next COD - I'd play it if it was awesome. I loved MW, wasn't into WaW, and haven't been into MW2. I hope all the hype from this last game finally dried out their cash cow.
^ I agree. People pledging allegiance to IW over Treyarch caused IW to have an overinflated ego and put out a incomplete product IMO. I love the fact two developers are working on this series alternatively. A little compe ion is always good, as well.
