(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?

It will cool calling in Napalm Airstrikes lol

exactly they suck lmao.

mw3 ftw for ps4 and new xbox hahah

lol i hope they dont go that far..

Napalm bombs would be awesome though!

To avoid confusion, they've decided to go back and call the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Yes but at least it not as bad as going back into World War 2 times.

im sure this will be a great game if its true they are making it but obviously the COD series is going to go back in to past wars at some point or another i mean theres WW1, gulf war and vietnam war for examples but in the future i think they will base a game on the war thats happening just now with the war in Iraq and the middle east but we would just have to find out what happens with it in the future anyway but its been going on long enough so a think the idea has struck their minds anyway

why would they do that
