As fans will know, the games are now made in a cycle, with one being made by developer Infinity Ward (Call of Duty 2, the Modern Warfare series) and the next being made by developer Treyarch (Call of Duty 3, World at War). In the current generation of consoles, Treyarch’s efforts have continued to focus on recreating historically accurate war scenarios, whereas Infinity Ward has taken the series into the fictional realm with the Modern Warfare games. Well, it’s Treyarch’s turn at the helm again, and the hot rumour is that this one will take place in Vietnam.
While nothing official has yet been released about the game other than it will be released sometime in 2010, some corners of the internet are speculating that the yet-to-be-named 7th instalment in the series could take place in jungles of 'Nam. According to Computer and Videogames , the game may focus on “the struggles of each individual platoon member. And pacing of the game is rumoured to follow movies such as Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.”
While it’s still too early to know for sure, it does seem like a pretty solid rumour as Vietnam was a brutal and controversial war that has been captured successfully in film and television many times, giving the developers a solid base to work from. However, are we starting to tire of the Call of Duty series with the current release schedule of a new game every year with three games already out for the current generation of consoles? Or will we continue to love them as long as they maintain the quality?
