Showerthought: There will come a point in time where the CoD series can no longer go back to WW2

Think about it. WW2 ended in 1945. It's already been 77 years.

All of the technological advancements in the past 77 years already make WW2 tech feel completely obsolete and too slow to care about.

Most WW2 veterans are already dead. Whatever generation that comes after the zoom-zooms will be able to relate to WW2 about as well as you and I relate to the American civil war.

CoD has never gone further back in time than WW2. It is likely it never will. As the passage of time moves ever onwards it is likely that the newer generations would find even WW2 to be too outdated, which means CoD would be forced to choose a war after WW2 as their newest fallback point.

So where will the next old school CoD be set.

Here is the list:

  1. Vietnam - They set it in Vietnam as it is the next major famous war involving the US. They have the invasion and the story about how you are part of the one heroic platoon in Vietnam and you find out how everybody else le bad. You get a personal victory in the end as you happen to be the squad that only ever ends up fighting the le bad Vietnamese troops. All the villagers are happy to see you.

  2. US invasion of Grenada (1983) - Story of how the US brought democracy (tm) to Grenada and saved its people.

  3. The Gulf War (1991) - The next major conflict that the US won. They beat the evil Iraqi regime.

  4. The Afghanistan war (2001) - The initial winning part. Not the ending. Maybe they write a para about how the Taliban won in the end before the end credits play.

Of these four options Vietnam war will most likely not be the one as US is trying to economically develop Vietnam right now. Grenada invasion will also not be the one as not as many people know about it.

Which means the oldest candidate available is the Gulf war. It is already 31 years ago. By 2040 Generation Alpha would be old enough to start playing CoD games, WW2 will be almost a hundred years old, and the gulf war will be in the perfect range where it is 49 years old ago and seems like an old event for the Alphabet teens.

Conclusion - The Gulf War is where the future CoD games will take place after the WW2 setting becomes too outdated.

Couldn't they try doing a war which Burgers weren't involved in?

MGSV managed to include 2 of them.

That counts for shit. They're a business.

The minute non-burger sales outweigh burger sales they'll pivot to non-burger wars.

yeah but it's not old enough yet. It has to be old enough that there is nobody important enough or a group large enough to get offended, but also new enough that it still feels relevant to play through.

To be fair I think COD has made games about vietnam and afghanistan already. The other two are so insignificant I find it unlikely and I find it curious you didn’t mention korea. That being said I don’t play this shit anymore so I don’t really fricking care

Korea actually would be pretty dope, would make the Chinese seethe too as the game would be like US good China backed regime evil.

CoD already does the thing where they make WWII seem more advanced than it really was. Kinda like how BF1 had a WWI setting where everyone had machineguns. They should do the civil or revolutionary wars.

Battlefield 1 did WW1 and that was a fantastic game, idk why CoD couldn't other than their desire to appeal to cracked out teenagers.

They already did Vietnam with Black Ops 1. One of my favorite games personally but it was not as well received as the future releases in the series

If they went SOCOM I would definitely play that

What's SOCOM?

Battlefield did WW1 on like the 100 year anniversary of WW1. They will likely never repeat that event again.

They will likely never repeat that event again.

sadge

SOCOM is an old tactical shooter. They did some missions around the Gulf war and stuff in the Middle East, it was pretty cool

Yeah as I said the CoD series will likely move towards the Gulf War. It's practically inevitable.

I hope you're right but idk with the political climate and the recency. Some smaller company tried to make a realistic shooter based on Fallujah and that got canned so fast

31 years

Recency

Fallujah was 2004. It was set to release in 2022. That's 18 years. Maybe 20 more years and they would have gotten away with it.

Why would someone who was born in 2030 give a shit about WW2? You will become old one day. All the things you think are relevant will become irrelevant. All the morals you hold will be outdated. Everything you stand for and took pride in will be forgotten. You will live long enough to see this happen. It is the fate of all men.
