(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?

Is this really true?

yes it is true i know everything bout call of duty and tht is true

I'm getting sick of World War 2 games, I'm glad they've decided to move forward and base a game off of a war the united states lost.

It sounds ok but yet again they are going back into the past

Yea was this confirmed by anyone because im not sure if i would like Vietnam.

haha this is hella funny that wen a game didnt com out yet they are talking about the seuel but im glad to know ww2 is dead (hears indistant shouting BLITZKREIG)

thank god no more WWII games im tired of playing but i wont get it i gave 5 a chance an like i thought it blew so if its not made by IW i wont buy it im dont live in the past i know all about it im worried about now

WW 2 is a great topic just because of the diverseness and inventions involved in it. But video games have really killed it to be honest. But a Vietnam or Korean War game would be a great addition to the gaming world along with Modern Warfare

Hmm sounds interesting.
Not sure if I like the idea..
