Well, to answer your question about where the developers of first person shooters are going; you're right, into the future. About a week ago Call of Duty Black Ops II was released, and it takes place in 2025... The same goes for Medal of Honor and Battlefield. There's also Crysis, which I think takes place somewhere in the future.
Personally, I don't think there's any interesting games in the Call of Duty series, apart from Call of Duty 1 and United Offensive. Call of Duty 2 was a good game, but, just like the whole MW2/MW3 thing, it was basically the same game with a different storyline and a few new maps. They even copied a few maps from Call of Duty 1, to 2.
The 'modern' thing has basically been milked out by now, and I would've said the same thing about WWII as a theme for first person shooters, back in 2005. We've basically had everything, from WWII to Vietnam, to Afghanisaton, to other modern stuff, and futuristic stuff, except for one thing, which I've always missed... A Call of Duty-like WWI shooter!
Can you imagine what it'd be like? I can't quite, but I really hope we're going back into the past after they milked out the future stuff.
