(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Citing a confidential source, That VideoGame Blog says Activision is pursuing licenses for Vietnam War-era music, as well as Cuban, Soviet Union and African music. They also infer that Treyarch will be the developer.

TVGB says that Noah Heller is involved with this supposed CoD 7; he was the senior producer on World at War, which is taken to mean that Treyarch will be back in the saddle. Sounds about right, as Infinity Ward is developing Modern Warfare 2, with a release date about six months out.

Of course, TVGB points out that, last year, Heller told Official Xbox Magazine that "we are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war," and "we're happy that we put the war to bed," meaning no more World War II-era shooters for them. But around the same time, he also said. "I can't say that there won't ever be a WWII Call of Duty game again."

The rumored music genres are intriguing. I'm not intimate with the history here, but if we're talking about Cuban and African music, could that mean someone's envisioning, or at least considering, CIA-type secret war operations of the 1960s and 1970s? That might expand this to Call of Duty: The Cold War as opposed to just Vietnam or Southeast Asia.

Per our policy, we've asked Activision for comment. But it's useful to remember that they and many other big publishers have a standing policy of not commenting on rumor and speculation.

Moved to Xbox 360 upcoming titles.

Don't really know what to say other than, GOD NO

Edit: Reason: Treyarch

HOLYCRAP....I read that article last night. Thats weird!

damn i hate the world war 2 stuff. move on...

Could be good but I dunno.. TrayArch are making it though so, Probably be poo.

Wow... what will be next?

Why the heck would they make a game about the Vietnam War? We lost that war. Enemy soldiers were shooting at us while our last helicopters were leaving that country.

@ selinger36, The Vietnam War wasn't during WWII, it was during the Cold War.

Cold war=80's Nam=Late 60's early 70's no?

oh god not treyarch again *sigh*
