Call Of Duty Confirmed For 2010, NOT Set In World War II
We all know the Call of Duty franchise isn't going anywhere and at this point, we can expect a new entry every year, what with Infinity Ward and Treyarch trading off.
So it's no surprise to learn that Activision has confirmed another CoD title for 2010; the announcement came during a conference call with analysts, and of course, other major franchises will return as well. Said Activision president Mike Griffith:
"In [calendar year] 2010, Activision Publishing is expected to release strong, innovative new titles. The diversified lineup will include titles based on the best selling franchises including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Shrek, [and] Spider-Man."
Details are few and far between concerning the Guitar Hero and Spider-Man titles but we've heard pieces of information concerning the next Call of Duty. Earlier this year, Treyarch was reportedly seeking new music for the game, and such tracks included "Vietnam War-era tunes, as well as Cuban, African, and Soviet Union music," which got people thinking. Could it be based around Vietnam or the Cold War? We also heard from Treyarch's senior producer that World at War would be the last CoD title to be set in World War II, which will undoubtedly be a major topic of debate amongst loyal followers. Lastly, we do know that wherever the setting, the new Call of Duty has already been in development for quite some time so perhaps we'll start seeing some info and media before the year is out.
At this time, Activision is clearly focusing on the gigantic launch of Modern Warfare 2, which launches next week and is predicted to be one of the single biggest entertainment-related launches in history. Could it sell 14 million copies before the year is out...? We'll stay on the lookout for any details concerning the next Call of Duty but in the meantime, let's hear from you: what setting would you prefer?

I'm also just played out of WWII - I even like the idea of Vietnam (even though its not too high tech), but think of all the GREAT music you could put in there.
I'm really looking forward to MW2 - it should be incredible.
But I don't know how long they can keep it interesting with a new one EVERY YEAR...

As for CoD and WWII, a good game is a good game - I play plenty enough other games that one good WWII shooter for me every couple of years isn't over-saturation, and there are _heaps_ of topics and themes that gaming hasn't gone close to, but Vietnam is ripe, as is Korea, or even Afghanistan (a game playing as the Mujahideen fighting the Russkies has the potential to be a lot of fun).

@ Axe99: well i dont know what you are talking about regarding the Cold War unless you mean the era in general, but i'm talking specifically about the conflict between the US and USSR named the Cold War because it was "cold," referencing the fact that there was no actual warfare going on... just an arms race, space race, economic race, nuclear missiles being sent to Cuba, resulting blockade, etc.

Oh my! Shock and awe, another COD and Guitar Hero game! How very unexpected. I hope everyone takes note of the fact that these are being announced for 2010 when the 2009 versions are only just out of the incubator.
New Shrek and Spiderman games eh? I guess that means new Shrek and Spider-man movies coming in 2010 as well then.
Yay...I think.
Gotta love Activision, the paint's not yet dry on one end of the bridge before they're starting to repaint at the other end again.

Furthermore why don't I remember seeing this when EA releases a new sports game every year. In essence isn't it the same situation?

I've been buying FIFA yearly and I don't see nothing wrong. Even with COD its got new storylines for each iteration, how about these sports games that seem just updated every now and then, yet we still buy them.

i think it would be really interesting to play a game where you use muskets, bayonets, or your gun as a club, cannons, cavalry, infantry formations.
it would be very intense to reload after every shot and wait for your captain to yell fire! then rush at them with your bayonet as cannon fire explodes around you, wiping out soldiers left and right. if done right, it would be as exciting as any omaha beach landing.
i dunno maybe i'm crazy
that or civil war...gettysburg would be epic!
just a thought...

The Modern Warfare games don't have that effect since they're not based on any historical events.
I seem to of gone off topic now I think. 4am will do that to ya I guess.

***Random Thought*** how cool do you think it would be if they did some sort of futuristic war game like WWIII and speculate possible weapons
Might be a stupid idea but I wonder where else they'll go with it because I'd rather see a shooter with more recent technology.
