Activision Planning November Release For Vietnam-era Call of Duty?

4.7
There’s been quite a bit of chatter this week about where and when Activision’s juggernaut Call of Duty franchise will be heading for its next tour, and if recent reports are to be believed, players will be shipping off to Vietnam this holiday season.

Sources tell CVG that Call of Duty: World at War developer Treyarch have set a tentative release date of November for the acclaimed shooter’s seventh installment. Continuing the series’ cinema-inspired presentation, the game is expected to borrow heavily from films such as Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket (Can you say R. Lee Ermey as a drill instructor?).

With EA taking a stab at modern warfare with their Medal of Honor reboot, it would be quite fitting for Activision to try their hand at Nam, six years after the release of EA’s Battlefield: Vietnam. Also, considering Treyarch’s last effort took place in the tropical environs of the Pacific Theater, it would seem they already have a head start on the whole jungle warfare thing.

While it certainly makes sense for CoD to finally take on the fertile setting of the Vietnam War, Activision and Treyarch are keeping quiet for now. I’ve contacted Activision to see if they have anything to say about all of this, so stay tuned.

Do you think this game could be better than Modern Warfare 2?

I think it has a lot of potential and if they are going to try to step it up against IW, they are going to need to come up with some cutting edge perks, maps, weapons, killstreaks, vehicles (if wanted), etc.

To be honest, I am about to break my MW2, I never liked the game. IW was only good for Cod: 4 to me. MW2 campaign was good and all, but online terrible.



Treyarch to me is the best, never had a complaint about it (except Der Riese haha).



IW is going to get crushed by Treyarch with Vietnam coming out.



Well ITaLian is OUT.
