Call Of Duty 7... VIETNAM!?!?!

[Kathinka]

AT the moment it is being rumored that Call Of Duty 7 will be in Vietnam, or any wars within that time period (60's - 80's).

REMEMBER this is not FACT its rumored because Treyarch (unfortunately) is licensing Music from the Vietnam wars time frame.

I think Vietnam would be a VERY interesting setting... I'm skeptical about buying the game if it is made though, just because Treyarch is creating it.

What are your thoughts on it?

They have already confirmed it's set in the "Cold War Era" which could be Bay of Pigs, Korea, Nam, or even the Cuban Missle Crisis.

the cuban missile crisis? I seriously doubt you could make a war game with that alone. correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the missile crisis resolved without an actual incident? I thought it was just the russians placing nukes on cuba, the americans threatening the russians and the russians backing off? only a few ships involved as far as i remember... and... what's the bay of pigs?? I never heard about that one before.

bay of pigs was an attempt of the us to invade kuba in short...they got their ass handed on a plate on that day, extremely disastrous in an almost slapstick manner.

there was actually one incident in the crisis that came to light decades later. an u.s. destroyer unprovoked tried to bomb a soviet submarine with waterbombs. the correct response acording to soviet military doctrine would have been to blast the us-fleet away with a nuclear torpedo. only one brave soviet officer named Wassili Alexandrowitsch Archipow refused to obey the orders and start a nuclear war. that's right, the only reason we are not fighting over scrap food in a nuclear wasteland today is because one russian officer didn't let himself get worked up over the provocation of some stupid cowboys.

It's not the first time a Vietnam game has been made. Hopefully they'll keep true to the weapons of the time.

All i have to say is ABOUT BLOODY TIME..for Vietnam to be represented in a good war based game that is. I'd rather play Medal of Honor.

Y'know, there actually was a pretty deep FPS called *drumroll* Vietnam that did a pretty good job in depicting the claustrophobic setting.

I await the My Lai level with morbid interest.

would suck to get autoteambalanced in the vietnamese team though...fighting off bloodthirsty amiercans with assault rifles with nothing but your evil looks...we all know how it ended

yeah we do, america got it's ass kicked... where did you get history lessons?

yes, america got it's ass kicked realy hard in the my lai massacre..*eyes rolling*

this horrible vietnamese children...lil' berzerkers i tell ya!

Where did you get your history lesson? The My Lai massacre ended up with between three and five hundred dead Vietnamese citizens, none of whom were actual combatants.

And, also for the record, the U.S. didn't get "it's [sic] ass kicked" in the war; a huge domestic opposition to the war caused American support to dry up and forced the military to withdraw. Under President Nixon's plans, the South Vietnamese people had a fair shot at lasting long enough to get their own, independent army up and running. But Democrats in Congress blocked all military aid to the South Vietnamese, and the Viet Cong inevitably captured Saigon.

Yeah, probably not though.You think there will be a level where you shoot a bunch of nuns in the face like in the real war?

Did that happen? I think you might be thinking of the El Salvador civil war.

Nah, It happened then, but when I was learning about Vietnam, I read about how in some places they would kill nuns.

a common variant of the "dagger thrust legend" originally invented by the germans to make it appear the "victorious" forces in the field of world war one only lost because they were betrayed by the peaceloving dirty communists back home. the u.s. got defeated decisively by a bunch of ricefarmers with half a century old equipment, on a military level. of course the opposition to the war helped, but still, the vietnamese dominated the military side.

 

[Floppertje]

Sounds interesting, but we lost that one, and doesn't COD always follow the Americans side? I'll like to see how they go about that

america got it's ass kicked in cod 4 didn't it? after the nuke going off you just played as the brits
but I do see your point, if they want to keep the historical accuracy they're going to have to either
A) only let you play the first part of the war
B) Let you play specific battles that the US won
C) Make you play a HELL of a lot of 'defend this position while we wait for evac' missions
D) Let you play as the Vietnamese (too)

My vote is for D, it would be cool to play as vietnamese and also high time we got to play as the 'enemy'. although letting you play as the vietnamese might get even more controversy than the airport level, all the yanks complaining about how you're shooting american soldiers....

as for the time period: HOORAH! there was the introduction of the modern assault rifles, so they're not as good as the ones in MW, but better than all the single fire stuff from WW2. and anyone who does not look forward to calling in a napalm strike as a death streak should have himself looked at. that is going to be so awesome!


How about an alternate history game where the whole thing was settled with a friendly game of soccer?

 

[Rahnzan]

Ugh...Stop with the past. Head forward. I want to start off by saying I absolutely love MW2 as a game but as for holding up to it's title, it is anything but Modern Warfare.

I want Modern Warfare 3 with less killstreaks and more gizmos and larger maps that aren't just an open grassy field/desert in a russian nuke site.

And I'm glad of that. I never got why Americans always got so worked up about Communism (I'm probably missing an important aspect) it's always seemed stupid to me.

 

[Wintermoot]

it would be cool especialy if they where to make a vietnamese campaign

As will I...

Oh, come on, they aren't bad video game developers.

Actually, they are pretty bad. The only marginally good game they made was Ultimate Spider-Man.

Their work on the Call of Duty series was an absolute mess and I really don't understand what was going through Activisions mind putting Treyarch in charge of 2 games in the franchise.

Call of Duty 3 was shit and World at War was just a rehash of levels from Modern Warfare 1. The multiplayer wasn't better either with overpowered guns and a pretty unbalanced multiplayer. The only "redeeming" factor of World at Wars multiplayer is the Nazi Zombie thingy but hell, if you enjoy killing zombies that much you might as well just get Left 4 Dead.

Well CoD4 was just a rehash of levels from Call of Duty 1 & 2.

I agree that Call of Duty 3 was shit, but I happened to very much enjoy COD:WAW. I think the reason people hated it so much was because it just didn't meet the expectations of Call of Duty 4.

What about Conflict:Vietnam and Battlefield Vietnam? They were good

I really hope they do make it Vietnam and not try to make another modern warfare game or copy and paste of the gameplay mechanics from modern warfare 2 (like they did with World at War)

well they need a boogyman to enshure the whole world will dance to their music and they have excuses to topple gonvernements, dictators and democraticly elected alike. today it's the fairytale of the international evil super-terrorist organisation that spans the whole globe and wants to kill us all, back in the day it were the dirty commies

I'd rather play as a Vietcong in a war game about Vietnam.

I read that article. That's fucked up.
I hope they do make a Vietnam CoD.
