Vietnam and the next Call of Duty...

Rumour: Call of Duty casting call mentions “SOG in Vietnam,” details characters





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.

nice find man let´s hope for a Vietnam setting

i wouldnt want to play a vietnam war game because its a war my country lost (america) not trying to offend any vietnamies who are on the sight but being a war we've lost i might not play a game based on it...

It isn´t that bad to play on the losing side, you just have to get over it...

I would kind of actually enjoy a game based around something that doesn't go in favor of the "good guys". I'm quite intrigued to see how this would work out.

Thanks for moving it MaTtKs... and yeah, any nice "early" tidbits on Call of Duty I usually save to my laptop (whether image or video) to keep the goods before it eventually goes down.

Thanks for the info I am looking for more info, on the new game.
