Seems like an odd choice tbh? I mean only a small portion of the game is set in Vietnam but then the choose a song so very heavily used in the media to portray the US Vietnam conflict? Smells of cheap cash in and uninspired imo.

A mash up showing each of the games settings and appropriate music mixed in for each would have conveyed the message that the game is set over the coarse of a few decades a LOT better. It would have set them apart from IW too. Now it just seems like "oh IW used a memorable song with clips for the advertising of MW2 so we HAVE to do the same"...sure, but put your own spin on it at the same time.

The marketing thy are running with gives the impression that its mainly a Vietnam game rather than what it actually is.

Good point on the mixing of music, a bit misleading to those who havent read everything there is to read about Black Ops like us on here.

For example, a mate of mine said to me today "Oh man, I cant wait for Call Of Duty: Vietnam, I ****in love 'Nam games!" Had to explain what the game was then.
