Infinity Ward suit against Activision going to trial

4.6
After languishing in the legal system for over a year, the lawsuit filed against Activision by Infinity Ward founders Vincent Zampella and Jason West appears to be moving forward, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The publication reports that a Los Angeles judge has ruled that Zampella and West's claims against Activision have merit -- complaints of unpaid royalties among others -- meaning the suit should finally be going to court.

The news comes months after a judge allowed Activision's countersuit to move forward as well. Both sides of the suit are seeking significant damages. Appropriately enough, with both sides cleared to proceed, it looks like it's finally time for Activision and the former Call of Duty developers to go to war.

Err, obviously not, read the post again!

Activision are suing former Infinity Ward founders who no longer work for Infinity Ward, the two founders have never been involved in the production of Modern Warfare 3 as they were sacked a long time ago.

No matter what happens at this trial, whether they get sued or not, the current Infinity Ward studio have nothing to do with it, it's only the two founders who will be affected.

Are you joking!?!?! BO sucks because of treyarch s*** a** engine they have.......5 steps behind a wall and I still die from a guy around the corner...or when I throw a grenade and give hitmarkers up the a** even without flak jacket. Shoot with the same gun I shoot first yet they can shoot my f****** feet and I still die....mw2 and soon to be 3 all the way. F*** Treyarch!!


Dude u r dumb, that **** happened in MW2 as well, it happens in all of them. Treyarch are more experienced i say, look at WaW, was a very balanced game, besides MP40, CoD 4 was great, but no other game of CoD can compare. BO takes more skill than u think mate. Lrn to look at the bigger picture, at least treyarch listened to the community

You know IW made CoD 4 right? And treyarch attempts to follow in IW's footsteps and ends up screwing it up. Many of the big commentators on youtube prefer MW2 over Black Ops because MW2 is FUN. Black Ops is frustrating is, imo, an incomplete game that needs fixing. It's not fun, aside from zombies, and it's not even worth playing multiplayer. Zombies is the only reason the BO disc is ever in my xbox.

lmao why does everyone always talk about the commentators and what they like, its like there more superior than other people there just like any other gamer just that they record and put it online, i dont give a **** about commentators


The only good thing in BO is I can go swimming.

Activision sucks because they starting leeching money from us when this lawsuit was made in which in was made in the beginning when MW2 was made that's why later Call of Duty titles will have these over priced game addons that are affecting the community. Infinity Ward MADE Call of Duty so THEY should be INCHARGE of WHAT goes on in THEIR GAMES. Everybody is hating on Infinity Ward because of what Activision does to them, they embarrass Infinity Ward so that the community can laugh at their non-believing mistakes when Activision should step out and say they messed up for good and stop **** leeching from all of us who plays their games. Activision is what made Call of Duty HORRIBLE NOT Infinity Ward. Now you say what you gotta say Activision before we the community forcefully blow you away so you can stay the **** away from what makes Call of Duty GOOD. I WILL SLAP THE BITCH WHO MADE UP THIS NON-SENSE AND SAY UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL THAT THEY ARE FIRED AND SHOULD BE SENT TO JAIL FOR STEALING WHAT IS OURS AND GIVING IT BACK TO INFINITY WARD'S HANDS. End of discussion, have a good day you bitches.

I always hated ifinity ward on how they made MW2 and possibly, dont know yet, but mabey MW3. Infinity ward needs to win. If they win, we get the makers of Cod 1,2, and 4 back, no longer those Shi**y ones. It will also work good for treyarch. Like take a look at WaW. Its as good as Cod 4. Now take a look at MW2 and BO. There are some similarities, but BO is better for skill. I hope you win Infinity ward!
