Security Appears Unannounced At Infinity Ward, Studio Heads Missing, Staff "Freaked Out" (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Patrick Klepek Writes:

Something's happening at Infinity Ward right now.

A source close to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer just informed me that a "bunch of bouncer-types" just showed up outside of the Infinity Ward offices unannounced. When approached by employees, the non-uniformed "bouncers" were unwilling to disclose why they were there.

Splinter Cell May Have A Future On PS3 (Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction)

Splinter Cell Conviction's creative director, Ubisoft Montreal's Max Beland, has told Edge that future series outings could appear on multiple console platforms.

Asked whether the Splinter Cell franchise has a future on PS3 considering the publisher's increased focus on Sony's platform, Beland said:

"I don't see why it wouldn't. I'm not involved in the business deals. I joined Splinter Cell after the exclusivity deal with Microsoft had already been signed, but there's no reason why Splinter Cell couldn't be on the PS3. Conviction? No because of the exclusivity deal. I know people keep talking about maybe, maybe not, [but] at Ubisoft Montreal I haven't seen anyone working on PS3 for Conviction.

"[The next game] is open to new deals," he added. "If Microsoft wants an exclusivity deal, they don't call me, it's Yves [Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO] dealing with the business people. But yeah, I guess we could even be a PS3 exclusive if there's a deal that makes people happy there."

Infinity Ward Has Not Received Royalties for Modern Warfare 2 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Activision's sudden dismissal of Infinity Ward co-founders Jason West and Frank Zampella and locking out IW employees from their own offices has raised a lot of questions. As new information becomes clear, some of these questions are being answered.

According to anonymous statements given to Binge Gamer's James Walker, Activision has yet to pay Infinity Ward so much as a dime in royalties for 'Modern Warfare 2', which has earned Activision over one billion dollars in revenue. Additionally, a separate source has suggested that Activision's reasoning for firing West and Zampella for "breaches of contract" may be tied to what Infinity Ward was intending to do after their contract with Activision expires in October, 2010.
