Call of Duty 5 and beyond
I love web forum comments. After it was revealed that Call of Duty 5 would return to a World War II setting, the general response was "yawn".
A forum poster at Digital Spy explained what the game developers should be doing:
COD5 - Falklands War. 80's weapons. Airstrikes and helicopters could be involved, naval ships too.
COD6 - Vietnam War but less linear levels than previous attempts.
COD7 - Set in 2020 with future (not laser guns but newer assault rifle prototypes etc) weapons and technology.
COD8 - set in 2040 and starting to look a bit more Halo-like with the weapons and vehicles.
I think the "not laser guns" bit is an important caveat.
