Forums - Gaming Discussion - I'm convinced a Call of Duty Civil War edition could work.

I would like to see a Call of Duty where you play as a soldier in the American civil war, Napoleonic war or something like that. Only problem is, muskets were the main weapon so you would have to reload after every shot. There would probably be much more close combat as well.

It was worth enough notice that they made a sequel

Call of Duty: The Crusades! Make it happen!!!!!!!



No to the Civil War, mainly due to weapons. I really don't think it'd work for a relatively fast paced shooter.

No to WWI because if you think about what it actually was like, trench warfare isn't much of an FPS game. I think an RPG like game could work because to show the psychological and emotional impact of trench warfare. In an FPS you'd jump out your trench, you might get to the enemy lines, but most of the time you'd just get slaughtered. It was all about the defenders in WWI, and in a game I get the feeling it'd get very repetitive (what with pretty much every offensive ending in death).

No to 7 day war... too controversial. If done right it could be good but I can't think of any dev that could handle the content.

This leaves us with WWII, Vietnam and Modern War... which is pretty much what games cover, unfortunately. Korean war could be done effectively. Also, covering WWII from the view of soldiers from other nations like the Algerians who joined the French army but were treated as second-class citizens and cannon fodder (watch Days of Glory). Or perhaps from the viewpoint of a Gurkha soldier (From Nepal, they fight in the British army).



The korean war is just such a perfect theatre left untouched.. Vietnam, the gulf war, every other semi-modern/modern war has a game about it. Not the korean war though.

^if publishers make decisions like film makers do, then they probably want to keep the scenarios where the US was directly involved. For some reason, the decision makers seem to think that unless it has Americans in then American audiences won't pick it up.

The US was not directly involved? I guess the half million troops over there didn't exist then?

That many? Really? I didn't think the US intervened to such an extent. I stand corrected then.

Yeah, I just looked that up myself (like I said, I stand corrected), so yeah, now I'm perplexed why it hasn't been done yet. Maybe because the war never officially ended? But that can't be it, South Park has already ripped the piss out of ole Kim Jung-il!
