Idk about you guys, but I expect the campaign to be terrible and the multiplayer to be somewhat decent. And since this Vietnam awesome thing seems to be running on the Campaign portion of the game, I expect another generic shooter.

Any other setting brings the same thing to mind, they better be pushing the envelope somehow or else it would just be another not awesome as "Infinity Ward's game" game.

kill streaks for vietnam cod would be interesting, helicopters, airstrikes, phosphorus bombs napalm, chlorine, agent orange.
Don't forget the "V1 Rocket" you get when you get 25 kills.

Well, I wouldn't mind the Falklands being immortalised in a video game. The Americans might get a bit huffy about not being involved in it though.
There is a difference between "Huffy" and "No way in a million years".

Unless your an american anyway who infiltrates the British army (Who all will have posh or cockney) and has to fight both sides and wins anyway

Treyarch is a competent developer in its own right, but has largely been in the shadow of Infinity Ward for the most part. Branching out in a new direction - not just for the company but for the series as a whole - would be a chance for the Treyarch team to strut its stuff without (quite so many of) the endless comparisons to the IW games.
Personally I like how CoD4-CoD5 went. I kind of feel that Treyarch is a good company, just not as great as Infinity Ward, and I think it's neat to see them sort of take what Infinity Ward did with their latest title and give it a new feel. CoD5 was quite a bit different than CoD4 but a lot of the main ideas were still there, and I thought it was fresh and exciting while still giving that familiar CoD feel. Now MW2 brings a lot of new features to the table, and I'd like to see Treyarch take another point in history - the Vietnam War is a fine example, and there's a lot more to choose from - and just rework what Infinity Ward did. Give us new kill streaks, show up some new weapons with various advantaged and disadvantages, give us a game that looks new. But, when you get right down to it, have the core of that game still be very, very similar.

That isn't to say I don't think or don't want Treyarch to try and be better than Infinity Ward, I just don't see it happening. By all means, if they make a game that is far different from MW2 and it's just as exciting (if not more) then I will love it to bits. I'm just not entirely sure it's worth the risk for Treyarch - as I said, I'd be content with a "Modern Warfare 2.5" of sorts.

Sounds like it's time again for... the Guess the Name for the Next Call of Duty Game Game!

I'll start:

Call of Duty: World of Warcraft
Hmm, Call of Duty:40,000? noo, wait, THQ has the rights to make Warhammer games.

How about...Call of Duty:You know every single annoying part in the pacific campaign in World at War? well, add double the foliage and trees, and you got the majority of a Vietnam game.

The next CoD better not be set in Veitnam. You'd have to play as the veitnamese just to win the damn game.
So you have to be american to be able to win a game?

Umm no, I said the exact opposite in fact.
