I was on xbox 360 acheivements. com and i was looking at the news section, and i noticed this article:

CoD7 Shipping Out To 'Nam In November?

The Vietnam War was one of the most reprehensible wars in modern history, but gave us a whole catalogue of great movies and a handful of truly terrible games (Shellshock, anyone?).

Here's hoping that Treyarch can buck the trend for hideous games based upon the late 60s conflict having been handed development duties for the seventh instalment in the Call of Duty series, which will be heading off to 'Nam.

told that the game will be arriving in November and is currently on course for a pre-festive season release, "

"Activision believes that it can own Christmas again, just as it has in the last two years," the source added.

If anyone can do the Vietnam war justice, Treyarch certainly has a very good chance. Colour us intrigued by CoD's potential new direction, but we'll chalk this up as pure rumour until Activision of officially announce something. Stay tuned.

While this is just a rumor at this point, it will be good to get away from Treyarch's WWII games. I see it as having WaW gore and dark feel to it.
