The Call of Duty franchise has gained critical acclaim for its solid gameplay and for the fact that it has brought a lot of interesting scenarios and stories to life. But while the versions that focused on the World War II conflict gathered a lot of fans, it was only until CoD 4: Modern Warfare appeared that it gained a bigger number of fans.

After that iteration, fans were eager to see what conflict the next game would tackle, as the Treyarch studio was making it, giving Infinity Ward the chance to focus on Modern Warfare 2. When the news that it would focus on the Second World War once more surfaced, a lot of people were angry because that conflict was used by too many titles.

Now, it seems that Treyarch's next project won't be based on the old conflict, as That VideoGame Blog reports, according to a trustworthy source, that Activision, the publisher of the franchise, has begun to license music from the era of the Vietnam war, as well as tracks from Cuba, Africa and the Soviet Union.

This might mean that the next title, which is supposedly overseen by the executive producer of Call of Duty: World at War, Noah Heller, will be based on the Vietnam war and might tackle, at the same time, some of the conflicts between the United States and Cuba or the Soviet Union that went on during the 1960s and 1970s.

As always, Activision has declined to comment on these rumors, leaving us pondering on what the next title will tackle in terms of story and conflict. Until then though, we will be able to enjoy Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 game, which is scheduled to hit November 10 this year.
