User blog comment:USMC Lance/When is a BF game not going to be in modern times? (BF3 is not future even though set in 2014)/@comment-1916935-20111106013153/@comment-1788799-20111106201152

Well Vietnam could work. The Korean War would essentially be another World War II shooter only this time, you're fighting communist Koreans and the game would essentially be "Attack!, Retreat!, Attack!, Retreat!" and that would get immensely boring. A game around the Soviet War in Afghanistan? I can kinda see that working. Not sure how everyone else would approach it but I would probably buy a game like that. Although there wouldn't be much cause it would either be you and your friends getting killed by a bunch of peasants with Kalashnikovs or it would be you fighting alongside the forerunner to the Taliban. Either way, it would be immensely unpleasant as no matter which side you choose, half the game would just be your friends committing genocide. A game around the First Gulf War would end before the first level even finishes as by the time your character gets on the ground, all that will be left to do is blow up some Iraqi tanks and kill or capture any remaining Iraqi Soldiers after NATO air raids. A future game would be cool but a very nice game I think would be a Modern Era World War III shooter, only instead of being told from the point of view of the Western Allies, it could be told from the point of view of the Russians.
