"Everyone is on edge," said my source.

Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West reportedly met with Activision this morning and have not been seen by Infinity Ward staff members since. My source did not delve into specifics, but described the relationship between Infinity Ward and Activision lately as "tense."

The mood around the Infinity Ward offices is currently described as "freaked out" and "confused."

"We just wanna make our games," said my source.

I've contacted Activision for comment on the ongoing situation at Infinity Ward. Stay tuned.

It can stay here as well. Many will see it here first.

Its a pretty huge deal in the whole CoD franchise, at least I think so. It means some leader changes or even the demise of Infinity Ward. I think thats a bit extreme though, but if enough figureheads are disgruntled and quit or leave or are fired, there is not much of IW left.

Since BC2 is now out in the US, what's the player count on MW2 since most of it's base is from the US?

About a 20% hit, but its too early to tell.

I think its pretty common in the US to have people escorted out when they are fired.
They dont want them to run away with the source code or setting fire to the server room.

But this is a strange story

I call total and utter ******** to draw attention to their company on the release date of one of their competitors biggest games to date.

Total ********.

If people were escorted out we would here about it on the actual news, not gaming sites.

Re: Security Appears Unannounced At Infinity Ward

Again, if It wasn't a stunt, do you really think they would release information about the stuff that happens inside their company ? No, they would not. Its a press stunt.

Considering those two thought it was really funny to mock PC gamers while they turned our version into ****, I hope they both end up fighting rats for scraps of garbage on the streets.

Who's laughing now, bastards?

Like anyone could stop a random employee from blogging it or telling his friends at Kotaku? That's like saying pictures and videos from the war could never be seen by civilians in the States because the Army won't let people leak the images.

Now, the military can (and does) punish people for leaking information that shouldn't be leaked. Maybe if they find out who leaked this information about IW that person will get fired. Yay. According to a lot of people, it sucks to work in Activision right now anyway under Robert Kotick.

Re: Security Appears Unannounced At Infinity Ward

Yeah, this is no stunt, especially the announcement that IW is not doing the 2011 CoD. All information has been gathered from the internet.

Also, why would two employees being fired be on the news? They just make games. Don't you all think that a gaming site is also a news site for gaming? So wouldn't it make sense that it would be on a gaming sites?

Also, we get escorted out because we are well armed with guns in the US.
