BO felt more like a game set in modern day than a Cold War one at times IMO, but the Cold War (more around/after Vietnam though) would be the best choice for a game set in the past. Plus, the fact that you could go for the spy thriller angle would at least make the fact that you're playing as some badass spec ops super soldier a little more interesting.
