Activision vs. Infinity Ward

[Neil]

Well seeing as when iW titled Cod: Modern warfare 2 just Modern Warfare 2, it baffled all the div's as they didnt realise it was call of duty, so i doubt iW will get off to a good start within the 360 era and more of the cod2 style where it was a release game for the 360, iW's next project probably will be for the next gen xbox

Aha I remember that, so many morons on here were all thinking it wasn't CoD anymore, just MW2, I laughed at them all.

I assume they could still create mw3? Just because they disband doesn't mean they can't make it still, they just need permission/contract I guess? Anyway nothings happened yet and it's probably safer for Activision to keep with them for at least MW3.

Activision holds the rights to the COD franchise.

I hope EA gobble up Infinity Ward, because they are a much better publisher in my opinion. They have really improved over the last few years, less of shoving shovelware down our throats and more pushing new I.Ps. I hope Infinity Ward realise that they're not making as much money as they think they are with Activision (who are denying IW their MW2 royalties).

Will be interesting how it all pans out.

I know Activision own the COD franchise but I'm saying IW could easily be apart and still make them under Activisions publishing, it's exactly what Bungie are doing for Microsoft.

i doubt iW would have anything to do with Activision after this, i dont think microsoft did anything bad, they just disbanded from microsoft due to something i forgot

I think the Microsoft/Bungie thing was just a contract deal that Bungie had to make 3 Halo games or something, the only reason the relationship is still strong between them is because Bungie get paid for arguably one of the most successful franchises of the decade and Microsoft have another big exclusive.
