Youâve read the lawsuit filed by Infinity Wardâs former bosses, now check out a supposed internal Activision memo, which alleges that Call of Duty creators Vince Zampella and Jason West had been flirting with, of all people, Electronic Arts.
-âDocuments regarding past, current or future IW projects, including but not limited to any and all businesses analyses of future projects (e.g. Modern Warfare 3)â
â âDocuments regarding any potential âspin outâ of IW, including but not limited to any communications with IW employees, West or Zampella regarding forming a new studio independent of Activisionâ
â âDocuments regarding West and Zampellaâs communications with Activisionâs competitors, including but not limited to Electronic Artsâ
Well well well. Communications with other publishers? Including EA, the same people Zampella and West walked out on in 2002? Link that allegation with the fact the pair believe Infinity Ward held the rights to the âModern Warfareâ brand, and not Activision itself, and things get juicy.

That would certainly explain the to-and-fro over Modern Warfare 2âs name. Is it beyond the realms of possibility to suspect that West and Zampella had been seeking a break from Activision that long ago, and calling the game simply âModern Warfare 2â â a brand they thought IW, and not Activision would own â would be a nice way to maintain momentum if they switched publishers?

No, I donât think it is.
