“The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward,” Acitivsion states in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. “This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation. At present, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company.”
Activision also adds that it will be releasing another Call of Duty game this year. That game is believed to be developed by Treyarch.
According to West’s Facebook and Linked In pages, he is currently no longer working for Infinity Ward.

So just when the top cows at IW think they have power, leverage over the milk-man having injected 1 billion dollars into his business, the milk man takes them out back along with his shotgun, and that’s how they got fired.
The moral of the story is: Even cows get sick of Modern Warfare at some point.

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 2:15 PMSo the Activison side of AB is turning into the military? hell the thing that i enjoyed the most after i left the army was the plain and simple fact that if someone annoyed me because they were being stupid, i was freely able to tell them fuck off, without fear of being sent to military prison.
