Announcement Straight from TreyArch: Call of Duty: Vietnam Release

[G. Septimus]

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
CALL OF DUTY VIETNAM WILL BE RELEASED THIS NOVEMBER!!!
WOOT WOOT

[Secura]

I really like what Treyarch did with World at War, and considering the problems over at Infinity Ward at the moment, it'll be nice to have Treyarch working on something without the pressure of "THE GAME MUST BE BETTER THAN COD4!" in their ears.

Unfortunately, I cannot think of anything more boring than the Vietnam War; America goes in trying to stem a Communist occupation of the whole country, loses fifty-eight thousand men and doesn't really gain anything from it except worldwide media pressure and disdain. I'm unsure why Treyarch would choose to focus on a war that is probably one of the worst decisions made in recent military history. And this is from the perspective of a historian. :3

I guess I'll wait and see how the game looks before I start cleaning my M16.

Why not a Call of Duty: French Foreign Legion with a fictive scenario in Africa?
You could have more interesting weapons and might even make it a lot better than Far Cry 2 ever was.
Then again a Battlefield: French Foreign Legion would be better anyway...

I think the interesting part of Vietnam is the jungle landscape, but that can be had in other areas and times as well.

I wonder whether it will have the vietgangstas running around with akimbo shotguns.

It's virtually assured to sell in America which is important and there will of course be massive arguements in the backroom and the monastery on the winning or losing of said conflict.

Will you be able to surf at Charlie's Point?

And remember, no Vietnamese.

November? Wow that's a lot sooner than I was expecting. I honestly didn't think this game would be out till next year.
