the way i see it, infinity ward has two options. keep it modern, or go to vietnam.
anything before ww2 is boring to play, since warfare had so little variety. i mean, think how terrible it would be to sit in a trench for 20 hours playing a ww1 shooter. they also can't go the future route, since not only did battlefield try that with poor results, but future warfare is a genre dominated by gears of war, halo, and unreal tournament.
Since we've already seen a modern warfare game from infinity ward, and it has been arguably their most successful COD yet, i wouldn't be surprised to see them base another one after it with new characters, etc. vietnam would be great too, because we could be battling enemies in lush jungles, and maybe seeing stealth and camoflauge come into play. also vietnam is not territory often treaded in the video game world, and all vietnam titles so far have been crap.
personally, i'm rooting for a spec ops cold war era conflict. mmm, nukes and russians, my favorite!
