With Call of Duty Black Ops due out in November, I thought it would be interesting to list some scenarios that I think would/should be made into Call of Duty Games or video games in general because soon the games and books made about these events will be all that is keeping them alive

Pre-World War II

1. World War I: There aren't that many veterans of the war left, and everything that happened in World War II can at times be connected with the events of World War I, despite this World War I has yet to get a game devoted to it.

2. US Operations in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution (1914 (Veracruz) 1916-1917 (the war against Pancho Villa) A rather unknown event, that is overshadowed by World War I

3. The Boxer Rebellion (1899-1901): One of the first major wars of the 20th Century

4. The Spanish-American War (1898)

5. The Russian Revolution/Civil War (1917-1921): Ties in with World War I, and the war's aftermath

6. The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939): The first major European War in which the Nazis faced off against Allied forces (the International Brigades)

World War II

1. The Pacific Theater: While World at War did justice to this part of World War II's history, I feel some what disappotinted, in that you only had 3 Campagins set in the Pacific: the Makin Island Raid, the Battle of Peleu, and the Battle of Okinawa. What makes the disaponintment worse is that they left out many of the battles one thinks of when it comes to the pacific theater: Pearl harbor, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, and most importantally Iwo Jima (How can you do a Pacific War game and not include the famous Flag Raising on Mt. Surabachi?)

2. A Game told from the Axis Point of View: Some what controversial but it would be a nice change of pace to be able to play as the Germans, Italians, and Japanese

3. The China-Burma-India Theater: The Main Land Theater of the Pacific War.

4. The Eastern Front: Not just Stalingrad and Berlin like in World at War, but the entire Great Patriotic War from Operation Barbrossa in 1941 to the Fall of Berlin.

5. The Italian Front: The Forgotten Front of World War II's European Theater, while it was covered some what in COD 2: The Big Red One, it didn't go beyond Operation: Huskey, where were the Anzio Landings, and the battles on the Gothic Line?

6. Airborne Operations (Market-Garden) and the Battle of the Buldge: Yes Medal of Honor did that already, but it seems waisted, how can you make a game and not include the Battle of the Buldge or Bastonge, the battle the made the 101st Airborne famous?

7. Special Operations: Commando Raids launched against Axis targets during the war (such as the Dieppe Raid, and the raids on the Tirpitz)

8. The Resistance/OSS: One of the most forgotten parts of the war, the Resistance and OSS are often over looked when it comes to giving credit for the victory in the war

Post-World War II

1. Vietnam: Yes Black Ops will have a Vietnam segment, but I was hoping for a full on Call of Duty: Vietnam Game

2. Korea (1950-1953): The Korean War is often called the Forgotten War, and it shows in Video Games, there has yet to be a game made based on the Korean War

3. US Operations in Grenada and Panama: Small wars, but no less important in the history of the Cold War

4. The Breakup of Yugoslavia: Once again the Yugoslav Wars have rarely been covered in games

5. Black-Ops in the Soviet Afghan War: Same idea as the upcoming Black Ops game but set during the Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-1988

6. Korean War II: Once this was a popular setting for flight sims, but it has never been made into a FPS.
