    They've lost 26 staff members now and are getting sued by 38 staff members for $125 million in unpaid bonuses.

    Its clear to see mostly this is all art/story people leaving. Who needs those anyway? No problem, INFINITY WARD is PERFECTLY fine. We'll just had to resort to barbarian animations and write kindergarten stories ourselves.

    Did ya hear Bungie is now partnered with Activision on a new franchise that will be ported to all systems :p. Inf. Ward must be on a suicide destruction mode right now. Some one crank out the linkin park and evanescence

    Bungie will have every say in their new franchise, according to the deal. Lackofvision will just publish them. For lackofvision to go out and make a deal with Bungie highlights their fears of losing IW.

    Yep supposedly the only reason why they are going with Activision is because of the fact that they can get ported to multiple platforms. So Bungie is trying to go for broke with it's new franchise

    I didn't buy MW2. For infinity ward this should be a lesson DON'T SELL OUT! MW2 was a piece of garbage.

    sucks to be activision, maybe they should release Starcraft II and Diablo III quicker so they could make back some of that money their getting sued for :p

    (since Activision merged with Vivendi Games the company that owns Blizzard)

    Vivendi now owns both Activision and Blizzard. Who would've thought that a water distribution company which formed in 1853 in France would grow into an evil video game conglomerate?

    Chinese owns the world, their power is very pervasive because of the population of those pine-eating porcupines.

    I should go to sleep now.
