There aren't enough ways to say NO to that. Considering how far the persons at Bungie have their heads shoved up their asses, it wouldn't come out any better than Infinity did; in fact, I think it would come out depressingly much worse.

Vietnam? cause that's being covered in the next CoD.
EDIT: maybe a sort of near-future, where a crazy superpower (North korea) decides to clusterfuck everyone...
Correction: Vietnam has already been done... and it wasn't that great either:

So has your later suggestion... sort of; while not near-future, it does have North Korea being a bunch of dickwads and whatnot, and blowing stuff to kingdom come with airstrikes.
