Well that leaves no where to go unless you want to go into the far future with fusion and rail-tech. I can tell you that fantasy (for now) stuff like that will not sell as well as things like this.

I suppose you can go to Korea which is really the buffer between WWII era and the Modern era, but that would continue the Cold War theme of Black Ops and cut out established characters like Mason and Fox.
