Call of Duty: World at War’s senior producer Noah Heller, in an interview with the Official UK Xbox Magazine had this to say about the future direction of Treyarch’s Call of Duty releases:
“I won’t let your readers read into the comment too much, but we are showing the final battles of the Pacific and the European Theatre and that lets us put a close to the war. I’m sure game companies will be making World War II games for years to come and World War II is a very classic war. But we’re happy that we put the war to bed.”
So what does that mean? Are Treyarch planning on following in the footsteps of Infinity Ward and bringing us a modern combat game? Or are they going to take us in a different direction? WWI, Vietnam, the USSR? The list of suggestions goes on.
It has been rumoured that Activision has been working on acquiring licenses for Vietnam War era music, but this is purely speculation at this stage.
What do you think and hope? I will put up a poll, you can share your thoughts and opinions.

Mar 13, 2010 1:48 pmI think they could make it work. We’d have a lot of the weapons we could use in MW2:
Assault Rifles:
M16A1 with M-203 grenade launcher
AK-47
Launchers:
M-79 (Thumper)
RPG-7
Light Machine Guns
RPD
Pistols:
M1911 (Single Player)
Sniper Rifles:
Dragunov SVD (Single Player)
I can see them being able to introduce some pretty cool weapons too, like the Walther PPK, M60, MAC-10 and the Thompson.
Not to mention equipment we’re used to like frag grenades and claymores.
I think it could work!

Mar 14, 2010 9:16 pmNot to mention the M2, imagine a map with bunkers like Wasteland on MW2… and clearing out the campers inside with a flamethrower!

Apr 07, 2010 1:36 amguys its obviously gonna b vietnam, the makers always base it off of popular demand so more ppl would buy it, cod WaW was popular demand, cod 4 was popular demand, again cod was Brought Back to modern warfare with popular demand of MW2, and now cod 7 will take place of the vietnam war cause of pop demand. dont expect anything else

May 06, 2010 9:42 amsorry but the MP-5 ,AUG ,and M4 didn’t debut till the 1980’s and 90’s .But this game should be sick! I hope you get to use the M-14 ,SKS,M-1 Garand as a sniper rifle,M-3 carbine ,and all those real guns instead of toys like the m-16.
