Ben-DutkaFor a while now, we've all assumed that Treyarch's new Call of Duty , set to launch later this year, would be the first CoD based in Vietnam. But now, we have more concrete evidence that this is indeed a fact.
According to a very plain announcement at VentureBeat , Call of Duty: Vietnam is a reality, and it should be revealed on SpikeTV on Friday night. All of these whispers and rumors about a Vietnam-based CoD began a couple years ago, when we learned that Activision was looking to license Vietnam War-era music for what has only been known as "Call of Duty 7." They tossed a little wrench into the works when we learned about another CoD installment in the works at Sledgehammer, which is rumored to be in a fresh third-person perspective. Some were thinking that would be the one based in Vietnam, but it appears it's Treyarch's project that will play host to the war that helped spark a societal revolution in the late '60s. Some believe the setting is a little too sensitive but that's an argument that could last forever. We're willing to admit that World War II veterans would've felt the same way about all these WWII shooters had they been younger when the video game boom hit.
Well, it was bound to happen. The question is, will gamers respond to the new war for CoD? People didn't think they would when the series went "Modern" but look what happened…
the next COD should be set in the revolutionary war. stick it to those lobsterbacks.
and you'd have to pick your shots, twitchy onliners! reloading takes 3 minutes! if your bullet even hits what it's aiming at, because rifling hasn't been invented yet! lol, that'd learn em.
Lol, COD: Musket Warfare..
i like it!
Actually there was a civil war game by the History Channel that had muskets and it wasn't that bad. Pretty much after you shoot the first shoot you run at the enemy with a bayonet.
FWIW Musketeers could fire 2 shots per minute; a skilled rifleman could fire 3 per minute.
But that's still a long way from what the circle-strafers expect in a shooter.
There were actually 2 PS3 Civil War games by the History Channel.
I have one of them, "CW:Secret Missions", & it was fun using the iron-clad ship to rain down cannonballs at the town as your heading up & down the river.
But I don't have the other one, & at the moment, I forget it's subtitled name.
