There has been speculation, rumors, and downright wishful thinking surrounding the next location of the Call of Duty series, mostly centered around former political hotbed Vietnam. Now with this little blurb from a casting call description, we may have some sort of confirmation. The casting call lists “motion and VO work” for a Call of Duty related Activision video game, and describes a character, WWII vet Frank Barnes, as part of an elite group performing secret operations within Vietnam. This will mark one of the first, if not THE first, war games to delve into the still-touchy topic of America’s occupation of Vietnam. What say you, COD fans? Is this a refreshing new direction for war games (drop the WWII and back away slowly…), or is the concept less satisfying when justification for the war is as flimsy as a negligee?
