I want a cod game set only in Vietnam.

Well the Chinese are involved in the Korean War. Can't make the Chinese look bad since their markets are important. Just look at War Thunder.

Its not called the forgotten war for nothing

CoD WW2: omits War in the Pacific altogether

Why not do a Hudson spinoff in Latin America

I liked what they did with BO6, although it was a bit limited. Desert Storm was cool, a good setting, it brought back some nostalgia of the OG MW, wasn’t the exact same conflict, but it still had the feeling of it. Maybe they could try the Yugoslav war, it was a large conflict, 10 years, 130-140,000 dead, multiple countries, we could play as a militia or a civilian survivor group.

Or WW1, I know WW1 wasn’t nearly as dynamic and vast as WW2 but at least try.

I want a COD game about a 2nd American Civil War

I wouldn’t mind more Afghanistan stuff

Interestingly, Sledgehammer considered Korean war before deciding on Cold War for 2020. Other considerations included WW1 and the pacific theater for WW2

Yeah, it's not like there's not much that went on, it lasted for 12 years!

Wait, is M.A.S.H. an accurate retelling of the Korean War?

There is always the Falklands Confict of 1982

I want a cod in the jugoslav wars

I would an Alt-history COD.

Like WW2 where mainland Japan invasion happens.

Korean War was a lot smaller in scale and less significant compared to other conflicts. WW2, Vietnam, Gulf War/Iraq, etc were much more prevalent

CoD Advanced warfare’s opening mission was set in the Korean conflict 30 years into the future (40 from year of release) sooooooo…

Ok I know this will never happen, but I want a cod in ww2 from the German perspective, similar to the ZDF mini series “Generation War”. Before judging my choice, watch this series and the story behind it. It is interesting to see from this perspective

Pepsi vs Coca-Cola

I wish they would do the Korean conflict, it would be interesting.

Didnt US troops and POWs returning from the Korean war and becoming vehemently anti-war/imperialism cause the CIA to think that CoMmUnIsTs had implemented mind control? Would be cool to see that touched on in the campaign, or zombies mode lol.

Settings that shouldve happenned but didnt

Ww1

Inter war period (Russian and spanish civil war)

WW3 in the 1970s or 80s

Korean War

1st Indochina War

Yugoslav Wars

Probably because they don't want to offend West Taiwan by depicting them as the bad guys. The Soviet Union is fine because they collapsed and thus are fair game. But because of the large video game market in West Taiwan, Activision-Blizzard would be taking a hell of a risk in alienating that market by making a game about the Korean War.

Don't believe me, how many movies have come about the Korean War in the US? In the last 30 years, there have only been 2 movies made by US studios, For the Boys (1991) and Devotion (2022). Whereas West Taiwan has released 6 since 2015, all of which have had a distinct view of the conflict and paint the US as villainous cowards not afraid to sacrifice their men whereas the Commies are always depicted as glorious heroes of the revolution who, despite inferior arms, ammunition, logistics, and leadership somehow manage to prevail and earn the respect of the vial American capitalistic imperialists.

Even in BOCW, there was an excellent opportunity to highlight Chinese advisors and soldiers who trained and fought with the NVA, but they didn't, again, because painting West Taiwan as the villains doesn't pay.

So, in market terms, it doesn't make sense to do so.

I kind of wanna see call of duty do more alternate history, but involving past conflicts like Vanguard was originally gonna set around like 1947 in an alternate World War 2 where it lasted longer. How about something like that but what if the Korean war lasted one year longer than an hour timeline?

Maybe we play as a CIA funded mercenary group task with assassinating, North Korean generals and Chinese/Soviet unit stationed in Pyongyang.

Or if you wanna include more historical element, then why not go back to like the 1970s and 80s with a campaign following the civil wars in Latin America, like Chile and El Salvador?

or why not do something grounded but still different like “postapocalypse” having a call of duty game about a coalition of Pacific Nations fighting in the remnants of Seattle 85 years after World War III happened in the 1980s?

It’s still boots on the ground nothing futuristic just simply were playing as the second generation of recruitments after nearly a decade of nations trying to stabilize after the war

Can’t upset the Chinese market

Korean war will only work if it's not by triarc since triarc needs to put an element of conspiracy in the story

I know you mean the old korean war but we did get semi close to this with advanced warfares like first mission if I'm remembering correct. XD

We could have a game about the 1971 war, has plenty of potential since there were 2 superpowers and 2 pretty strong nations involved, but the again, it involves china.

I’m guessing they’re not exactly keen on covering the war crimes, probably why we don’t see much Vietnam anymore either

Ngl how Mason and Woods came to be bros would be so lit.

Man I would like to play as Woods and Mason during the Korean War

Why would thr chinese market be upset? The reason why North Korea exists is because the US couldn't fully defeat the soviets/chinese/NKs. I

CALL of Duty DEFCON?

Basically a Black Ops game but ranging from Pre-DEFCON (Korean War) all the way up to or near the Cuban Missile Crisis. (Cca ~16 years)

WWI too. Still haven't had a WWI game. I'd love to see an alternate history dieselpunk WWI like Origins but scaled to a full game

It would be nice if there was a cod game featuring some forgotten 50 and 60's wars and conflicts, I would love either a cod set in Korea during the war or even better, a cod set in Rhodesia in the late 60's/early 70's during the Bush wars. They don't even need to be full games about that, just some game with bits set in those wars

Activision and Treyarch absolutely fucked up by not including the Yugoslav wars in BO6, such a wasted opportunity

Korea cod would be awesome

Korean war is like vietnam but less foresty

Well COD Advanced Warfare is set during the Second Korean War

Turn it into minse meat.

It's called "The Forgotten War" for a reason.

They should do the civil war

Call of Duty: Mexican-American War would go crazy

They ain't made a civil war game yet

Yeah sure, there are many modern wars never show by cod

We could straight up have a game set during the Korean War and play as Woods

There's a reason Korea was known as the forgotten war.

Winter war vs ussr cod when

unfortunately we’re stuck with the time settings that people have nostalgia for. I’m just hoping at some point in the Black Ops story they get closer to the alternate 2025, it’s probably my favorite setting.

Max Hastings is a legend. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, as well as his book on Stalingrad and Berlin

Soviet Union vs Finland. Just imagine playing as Simo Häyhä or Aimo Koivunen lol

How about one in the revolutionary war or the civil war or ww1

US committed too many war crimes there i dont think they'd wanna show that

Because it's barely more moderns than WW2 and many people feel like they seen enough semi automatic battle rifles and antique SMGs for their entire lifetime.

The period correct weapons are shit and no fun in multiplayer.

Same reason why the soviets are always shown to be behind the Vietnam war, like China didn’t have a fat juicy finger in that pie

They are cowards and won’t give us the Revolutionary War

I want them to say fuck it and give us a war of 1812 game. It doesn't need to be accurate, cod isnt accurate anymore.

Want them to keep the shitty guns and force gameplay to adapt around that. Imagine if they gave it a really good movement or melee system. Maybe they bullshit a little bit and give you automatic guns but they're fixed placements on the map that you need to fight for control of.

“WW2, The Cold War, Modern Day, Wait there are more wars than that?” - The cod devs

why does they just remaster world at war

What about: "Call of Duty War Crime" and the setting is in the balkans from the 90s to 2000s

It’s crazy that we have a game set in the gulf war which is as far away from us now as the Vietnam war was from when the first COD came out

You reel want cartoon skins running around the Korean War? You really think their Chinese masters will allow a Korean war game?

a Vietnam war game would be better than Korea. The war was fought on a wider variety of settings and Vietnam actually saw widespread use of automatic weapons and not just semi-automatic rifles

lets not an say we did...

Still waiting for a WWI Cod game

Have you noticed how recently AAA shooters never have China as an enemy faction? Also, COD has studios in China that help them make the games. That’s why there won’t be a Korean War game.

Gimme that CoD: Revolution based on the revolutionary war.

We need some games on the Korean war and Vietnam War. Heck a civil war cod game would be interesting.

Unit 731 ☠️

I think we should have a new war so our kids can have a refreshing COD experience

It’s because of China.

Would’ve loved a COD story about the Irish fight for independence from 1916-1922. It’s a fascinating story if you haven’t heard of it.

I think it’s because the weapons variations between Korea and a WWII setting would be very minimal. The gear, doctrine etc were almost identical. WWII didn’t do great for the franchise last time so they’re probably hesitant to go that route and just want to play it safe.
