To sum up the two stories below, basically the two heads of InfinityWard (one of the developers of Call of Duty games, most notably MW and MW2), Jason West and Vince Zampella have been fired by Activision for "insubordination and breach of contract."

West and Zampella are suing Activision, claiming that they basically made up a reason to fire them because they didn't want to pay the two of them royalties they were due from the stellar sales of MW2.

If true, good job Activision for squashing the guys who built InfinityWard from the ground up. At least we have Treyarch?
