The next Call of Duty game may not delve back into familiar WWII territory after all, as Activision CEO Mike Griffith reveals that the fifth game will take the series to a "new military theatre".

Despite rumours and strong reactions that the series would be returning to the over-used WWII era, Griffith revealed: "We'll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theatre to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year as new users came into the franchise," according to Gamespot.

Another modern setting would get our vote (we're bored of those crappy 1940s guns and sluggish propeller-powered planes).

Griffith also revealed that the next James Bond game, in development as Treyarch, will use the CoD 4 engine, which is good news. The first good 007 game since GoldenEye? Maybe, just maybe...

Um no,

Early reports suggested that COD 5 would take place in the "Pacific Theater" this is a new theater to the COD series.

By saying new theater they did not confrim anything.

Vietnam would be cool. That qualifies as 'Pacific Theatre'.

No, the "Pacific Theatre" was only used for WW1, WW2, and some smaller Cold War operations, none regarding Vietnam.
