An LA casting call for Call of Duty-related “voice over/motion capture” for an Activision “video game” has described character Frank Barnes as being part of an elite Vietnam unit, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group.SOG was responsible for covert operations in Vietnam, and was active from 1964-1972.The news appears to confirm the game for a Vietnam setting. This follows heavy tips that Treyarch’s next Call of Duty game, slated to release towards the end of this year, would take place during the Vietnam War.The call is for motion capture and VO work for what looks like four major characters from the game, namely Barnes, “a fiercely patriotic veteran of WW2… A solid leader, possessed with an excellent ability to assess and respond to any situation quickly and decisively”; Joseph Lewis, a “very physically fit” black man in his 20s; Jason Hudson, a white man in his 30s with “over 15 years of military experience, making him an excellent tactician and mission co-coordinator”; and Kristina Ivanova. a Russian-born martial arts expert and CIA operative who’s “calm to the point of being cold and detached”.The details come from a US casting site. Hit the image below for everything on the listed characters.Activision has yet to say anything about the Treyarch title other than it’s coming this year and it’s not expected to be bigger than Modern Warfare 2.The game’s setting, plot and characters have yet to be confirmed. We’ve asked Activision for comment.

YEAH GOOD LUCK WITH THIS.

I still don't understand all this cold war gibberish. How I see it is; if it is COD then it has people shooting each other. If it has people shooting each other it's not a cold war?

I'm sure there was conflict during the cold war, just most of it was just the threat of nuclear war, it's the "cold war" because the war ended when it was decided if conflict continued warheads would be inevitable and wouldn't end well for any of the planet let alone the countries involved, cold war as a shooter could work but I can't imagine it would be that interesting because few people are really aware of what happened, while Vietnam was very well known for many reasons.

I suppose the story mode will be sneaking around then? Who would buy that, I buy cod for the kiss ass gameplay and shooting weapons not hiding in the shadows

It would be a lot like The Sabotuer I would imagine, there was no major conflicts but there was more than politics.

Vietnam was related to the Cold War, I imagine we'll be going there.

The Cold War was named the Cold War because there was NO warfare. Hence, COLD war. It was between Russia and the US. Vietnam is irrelevant to the Cold War.
