It’s been rumoured for over a year now and with information slowly pouring out from Treyarch all week it seems the CoD series may once again be heading back in time, only not as far back as World War 2.Call of Duty 7 is expected to take place in the 1960’s and will focus on the Vietnam conflict, and as previous games in the series will take it’s inspiration heavily from movies such as Platoon and Apocalypse Now. What’s not known is how sensitively Treyarch will approach this controversial conflict, their last foray to the CoD universe was far more violent than previous entries and even opened with a torture scene of US troops.
Details are scarce at the moment, but what is known for definite is the release date, November this year, with Activision clearly hoping that the success of CoD 7 will match their phenomenal dominance over the Christmas period of 2009 with Modern Warfare 2.
However, Treyarch do have something of an obstacle to overcome after they faced criticism for their last game’s return to fictional real world wars after Modern Warfare’s updated outing. We’ll have to wait and see if the developer can match Infinity Ward’s prowess and see if people are as forgiving about a game set in Vietnam as they where with World War 2.
