3. VIETNAM WAR:
PREMISE:
The Vietnam War is a controversial one, with it understandably being a touchy subject for some Americans. It doesn’t help that all the Call of Duty games are developed by United States-based studios either. Personal feelings and opinions aside, there’s no denying that the Vietnam War is one worth hitting on. The entire time period boasts incredible pop-culture, music, and attitude that no other Call of Duty game has offered in a fully fleshed out Campaign and Multiplayer. Just imagine The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black” blaring as you and your squad soar above the jungle in an attack helicopter, guns ablaze.
WEAPONS:
The Vietnam War does have some pretty nasty weaponry. Think Black Ops 1 style stuff. Something I’d like to see covered are the bombings that played a massive role in the war. Thousands of low-altitude bombing missions were carried out over North and South Vietnam. Napalm, on the other hand, is a whole new story. It is essentially is a chemical compound that was developed during World War II (We’ll get to that). When mixed with Gasoline and stuffed into incendiary bombs, grenades, and flamethrowers, napalm would be projected greater distances and would poison the air on explosion. And that, ladies and gentlemen, would be fun to play around with on a larger scale.
LIKELIHOOD:
Actually, this one is pretty likely. We’ve already seen a taste of Vietnam in Call of Duty: Black Ops, which made for some of the most interesting and tense missions in the game. It’s a compelling setting for Call of Duty to return too and offers a multitude of options for both Campaign, Multiplayer, and Napalm Zombies (wow).
