So it's the new gen, and were all sick of WWII shooters, now what? (poll)

I am personally sick of all the WWII shooters, which are all clones of each other. They all have guys named "Baker" or "Jenkins," I've played through countless D-DAY scenes, and each game tries to get your adrenaline rushing by throwing in choir music now (wtf?), and I'm sick of the solider from west virginia making wise cracks in the most annoying accent in the world. I am also tired of the commander with the stereotypical drill seargant voice. Do we want all that in better graphics? NO!

So now we got a new gen on our hands, and I think it deserves a new war theme. We've already seen some modern shooters such as GRAW and RainbowSix, but my vote goes into making a Vietnam game. I understand it's a touchy subject being that the U.S lost that war with awful sacrafices, but game wise, nothing beats stealthy approachs in the jungle and the sound of AKs cracking in the foilage. The only good Vietnam FPS i've played was VietCong. Just waiting in the bushes or a tree, lisitening to the birds and insects, waiting for the enemy..I LOVE IT!

So what do you think? 

'Opium War!!!!

EDIT: Oh... and your idea is cool too... but it's no opium war.. lol jk :P

It's time for the next shooter cliche to take the reigns, aliens and other paranormal creatures

Call of Duty 5 cshould be in the Revolutionary War. Easy mode would put you in the back and hardest would put you in the front of the line. Teh leet musket skills.ATLBIinger

Yes I could see it now...

"JENKINS! GET TO THE FRONT OF THE FORMATION!"

Game Over. 

Vietnam War is by far the best, the music, the culture, the  whole country was into that war.

forrest gump movie would had floped if it were based on any other war.  i'd like to see Ubi-Soft make a Vietnam War game on the level of COD 4. 

I want a WWIII game with war with the middle east as the theme. BioShockOwnz

BF2 

The future.blizzvalve

Agreed, I liked BF2142 ALOT, so i'm guessing more like this would be nice. 

There will be no more war games.

Instead, games will focus on roleplaying as hippies, and gameplay will focus on their treacherous journey into the depths of Canada.

what about desert storm that could be pretty cool to.InfamousC

try the Battlefield mod "desert combat" it was so succesfull that the mods makers are making their own commercial game.

That's basically modern day in my book

I know one that you may like, but only if you enjoy realistic shooters (and I mean highly realistic, the game is derieved off a proffesional war simulator)

Its a very niche game, but personally I love it.

But be warned, the level or realism is way to much for the majority of people, its far far more realistic then that stuff Tom Clancy makes.

yes but WWII is the most rehashed and the most used. How many hit vietnam titles can you name? BF:Vietnam was a joke and every other vietnam game were sleepers that no one heard about.
