(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Activision Blizzard is nothing if not forward thinking. While Modern Warfare 2 is still months away from release, rumors are already swirling about the next Call of Duty game after that, which would be the seventh in the series. According to a "a source we consider reliable," That VideoGame Blog reports (via Destructoid) that Activision has been seeking to license Vietnam War-era music, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music -- indicating the game could likely be set between the 60's-80's, taking place in any of the aforementioned settings.
Also passed on by this source is that World at War senior producer Noah Heller will be involved with the game, which means Treyarch would once again be at the helm. That VideoGame Blog notes that Heller has previously stated that "we're happy that we put [World War II] to bed" in the last game, further indicating a change in setting for Treyarch's next installment.

While a Call of Duty title set in the Vietnam War would be an obvious guess, the breadth of scope of the music being licensed seems to suggest Activison may be planning a broader scale -- perhaps touching on a number of other proxy wars and conflicts that took place during the Cold War. The Bay of Pigs invasion? Cuban Missile Crisis? Afghan-Soviet War? The era sure seems to offer a lot of grist for Activision's mill.

But as usual, this is just a rumor for now, and Activision responded to Destructoid's request for comment with the usual "Activision doesn't comment on rumor and speculation" reply. Besides, we still have Modern Warfare 2 to play through before we should even have to start speculating about Call of Duty 7, don't we?

lololololololololololololol

Yeah, sure you do big guy.

haHAHAHA YEA WOLF

I'd like to add a little something, Vietnam really I can only think of three decent games that have been based off of it. That's Battlefield: Vietnam, Shellshock: Nam '67 and Conflict: Vietnam. Hopefully cod7 will be the fourth to be added to the list.

vietnam was a great war... i think itll be a great game but seriously WaW was successful cus of zombies... modern warfare ftw!

Ehh I was kind of hoping for this.. but whats cod 6? As Mondern Warfare 2 isnt call of duty

hopefully, its not this and someones got there info wrong. i could'nt stand another vietnam war game.

sounds good that they are finally moving away from WWII and into and different war.

Modern Warfare 2 was recently renamed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.



How..? There's hardly any vietnam games as it is, and the majority that do exist suck.

Modern warfare 2 it's just that i herd that they have pulled away from Call Of Duty for the sequel.
