Some ideas for Call of Duty 8:

First World War - A dark and gritty portrayal of trench warfare with a similar unsettling atmosphere to Vendetta in CoD 5. Mainly rifles with bayonets but some machine guns and artillery guns. Germans with spiked helmets. Rats in the trenches. Barbed wire, mine fields and No Man's Land. Locations such as France, Belgium and Gallipoli. Play as British, Anzacs and French. German and Turkish enemies.

World War II - This time much more worldwide, instead of being limited just to Western Front, Eastern Front and North Africa. Focuses more on realistic environments which are explorable. Darker and grittier, and more gory. More weapons from the era, with bayonets and other attatchments. More dangerous enemies, and different warfare styles from different enemies. Locations such as Dunkirk, Burma, Malaya, New Guinea, Pacific, North Africa, Normandy, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Russia, Atlantic, East Africa, England during the Battle of Britain and Germany. Play as British, Australians, French, Americans and Russians. German, Japanese and this time Italian enemies. Possibly Vichy French, Hungarians and Romanian enemies as well.

Korean War - Other aspects of the Cold War such as Korea. Typically mountainous Korean environments, as well as hills and lakes. Large usage of Soviet weaponary from the Communist enemies. Other nationalities fighting alongside you as part of the United Nations operation in Korea, such as the British, South Koreans, Australians, Canadians and Turkish. Locations in North and South Korea. Play as the Americans. North Korean and Chinese enemies.

Soviet War in Afghanistan - Desert warfare, fighting in Islamic streets, mountain and hill warfare. Mainly Soviet weapons. Driveable tanks. Gritty portrayal of the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. Locations full of civilians. See civilians being massacred by the Soviets to increase realism. Locations all around Afghanistan. Play as the Afghan Mujahideen with supporting troops from Pakistan. Soviet and Afghan enemies.

Iraq War/War in Afghanistan - Similar to Modern Warfare, but gorier and grittier. Desert warfare. Driveable tanks. Better modern weapons with more high-tech attatchments. Play as the Americans, and other nations part of NATO. Iraqi and Taliban enemies.

Modern Warfare 3 - Directly following from the cliffhanger at the end of Modern Warfare 2. After Nikolai says to Price and MacTavish, "I know a place", he takes them in the Pave Low to a place in Afghanistan that he knows from when he was fighting there in the 1980's with the Red Army. Russian troops led by Makarov surround the trio in Afghanistan. Have to fight them off. Meanwhile the US Army Rangers invade Russia as a revenge of the Russian Attack on America. Russia now has Chinese, Iranian and Mongolian support. Full-blown World War III. Usage of a nuclear bomb at some point in the game. This time you must try to escape from it. Better and more high-tech weaponary. Class Customisation. Eerier and more serious now that there is a Third World War. Lots of derelict settlements like Chernobyl in CoD4. Fallout shelters and bunkers. Fighting in Afghan and Mongolians deserts. Play as Task Force 141 (what remains of it) and US Army Rangers. Russian, Chinese, Mongolian and Iranian enemies. No stupidly futuristic elements like Halo! No spacecraft or flying machines that don't exist!

Anybody want to add to the list?
