Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward is now home to a very strange, currently very unclear story, as G4 reports that security guards have stormed the developer, with studio heads currently missing in action.
While that all sounds like scary stuff, thereâs very little in the way of actual detail here. Infinity Ward leads Vince Zampella and Jason West are reported to have met with Activision earlier today, but have not been seen since by G4âs sources. The original report describes a rumored level of tension between Infinity Ward and its owner/publisher, but does not explain the source of that friction.
Look, we donât know whatâs up yet, but weâve reached out to Activision PR and Infinity Wardâs main communicator Robert Bowling for comment on G4âs report. The latter has been uncharacteristically quiet on his Twitter account today, if that means anything.
Weâre well aware by now that Activision isnât shy about bringing the hammer down on its owned development studios, with Infinity Wardâs Call of Duty games still bringing in the billions, we canât imagine why Bobby Kotick and company would be so displeased with its star studio. Put your rumor protective gear on until we hear more.

Thatâs supposedly from Modern Warfare 2 game director and Infinity Ward president Jason Westâs Facebook page. Weâre trying to verify.
Westâs LinkedIn profile indicates he is no longer working at Infinity Ward as of March 2010. Could Infinity Wardâs top brass been given the heave ho?
