Vietnam? Awesome! Finally, a video game that you literally can not win!

Eventually the Call of Duty series is going to run out of traditional conflicts, it's clear that the Nazi zombie mode in World at War is to prepare us for the inevitable Call of Duty 8: World War Z.

Call of Duty: Bay of Pigs?

We need more games set in 'Nam, I find the era fascinating.

Didn't one of the CoD game already have a Vietnam setting?

How about the American Revolution? or the American Spanish War? The Barbary War?

Bay of pigs would be sweet, also, I would love to be put in either the shoes of the Mujahideen or the Soviets during the Soviet War in Afghanistan.

and @ Chronic Logic - I know you're being facetious, but the Barbary Wars would be completely awesome, someone desperately needs to make a FPS Napoleonic War Age of Sail game (niche much?).

the chic in the left gave me a bonar....... idk y

Its about time they finish with the whole WWII thing. I mean, there is only like 6 bajillion titles out there about it.

Seriously... why are there no Vietnam games... too soon?

I can understand setting it in Vietnam, but why Cuba? Would you play as the revolutionaries under Castro? I don't think too many Americans and exiled Cubans would like that. Would you play as CIA agents in Cuba, who performed numerous terrorist acts to destabilize the new communist government? Again, that's not very fun. Or would you play as a hapless soldier in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, getting mowed down or retreating because the US severely underestimated the capacity of the Cuban military? Cuba doesn't offer many great (real) battles, unless you like being a communist, or you don't mind burning down crops under the CIA's orders.

It would be good if there was a "cold war setting". But apart from the Korea War, and the Vietnam war, what famous Cold-War era battles were there that involved large numbers (50,000+) of US troops? None that I can think of. It would be interesting if it explored the Cold War from other perspectives, like as a Soviet Soldier in Afghanistan, but who wants to go around to village after village, killing civilians (which is pretty much what the russians did in that country).

Unless they make up crap, I don't think a Call of Duty game about the Cold War would be very good - both sides did terrible things to civilians. It's not like in WW2, where you could genuinely support the US/UK/Russian/Chinese forces, because they got attacked first, but in Vietnam or Cambodia, Cuba or Laos or in many of the small proxy wars that took place in Africa between Soviet and American backed factions, there wasn't much heroism or idealism.

"I want a Call Of Duty set in the 80's!"

Hell yeah... seven kill streak and you can call in the break dancers. Then each side will have to have a break-off.

I hope COD does not reach double digits without some huge change. I would hate to buy "COD15:Bob shoots Pedestrians" and not like it.

call of duty: call of duty
the first real simulation of real working people
with jobs such as
hospital worker
waiter
bell hop
and call girl

Actually, the setting for the new one will be the vietnam er. Where you play a combat injured soldier returning to the US where you must navigate hippies and anti-war rallies. One level someone doses you with LSD you and find yourself trapped in combat flashbacks but instead of the VC you are fighting monster versions of your parents and dog. The final level takes place in the VA hospital where you have to fight for your psych-meds from doctors, nurses, and Richard Nixon.
