Does it really matter? ex-communist countries can't always be the enemy and there's scope for it to happen following the plot of the last one, even if it didn't make any sense.

The big problem here is that China had a pretty bad 20th century, militarily speaking. It'd be like playing Call of Duty in germany, except a bizarro Germany where everyone was still a Nazi. Because unlike Germany, who denounced their wartime government and Nazism, the China has had the same government for pretty much the whole time.

Plus a dash of to-this-day extremely sensitive sovereignty issues with Taiwan. So good luck if you were thinking of recreating the civil war.

FPS MMO in Korea? Stupidest idea ever. Not that I'd tell Kotick about it, let him burn in hell.

So I guess we aren't going to be fighting China or Korea in the next COD?

It'd be interesting if Activision made some COD games that cater to the Chinese and South Korean markets. For China, they could make a WW2 game about the Chinese Civil War, and/or the war with Japan. Since World at War already has Japanese forces in that game, some of the pieces are already in place. Here's a list of Chinese Civil War weapons, too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War#List_of_Chinese_Civil_War_weapons
Many of them are already in the Call of Duty universe, and most of these weapons were present in the war with Japan too.

For South Korea, the Korean war might work. I'd imagine it'd be much more difficult to make a Korean war game though, since a lot more of the graphical assets would need to be brand new in order to have an authentic feel.

Anyway, none of these games would have to be full fledged AAA products. Perhaps they could adapt the episodic content model. Bite sized Call of Duty episodes. Perhaps 1 hour of gameplay per episode.

OMG Bobby.. Good luck in China! That's a political can of worms for you.

Blizzard has experience there, yeah. With fantasy worlds. Good luck with a real one. Maybe it could be Call of Duty: Eternity Well, or something.

What they are really trying to say is, since all the team at IW quit they are shipping the production of the next CoD game to a cheap sweatshop in China where they can get it made at 1/10 of the cost.

Chinese factories are most definately not sweatshops, and haven't been for years. In Guangdong, for example, there's such a massive labor shortage that wages are rising 10 percent a year and workers are changing jobs every six months for higher wages.

Well, MW2 is already out in Japan. It's published by Square-Enix, though. They're even pretty damn fiend at it
