As of a few minutes ago, Jason West, the President and Game Director at Infinity Ward, has been "let go" by Activision. This is following what was an EXTREMELY shady encounter between the developer and the publisher, which included the studio heads going missing for the entire day and secretive "bouncers" prowling the perimeter of the Infinity Ward studio.
Well, congratulations, Activision. You just lost the largest selling developer in the history of your company. If it was attention you wanted, then I commend you - you're going to get skewered for this one.

Yes, we all know that it's the "cool" thing nowadays to hate on mainstream stuff. The point here is that the man largely responsible for the highest grossing game across TWO platforms in 2009 has been unjustifiably fired by a company that already has a lot to lose. It's big news in the gaming world, as it could very well mean the death of one of the industry's largest publishing giants.

Infinity Ward will probably release a statement, but Activision is notorious for not caring about their consumer base and letting rumors run wild for the sake of publicity.

Eh..I'm not too fussed. I may of stupidly bought the last 3 CoDs (2 of them being Infinite Ward), but I've never been a fan. I mean, I bought em, but I don't really care for a next. If it's there it's there, if not then whatever.

I'll go like 16 and 9 for like one game, then have 2 bad games, then go 25 and 6 or some shit. Idk, its a fun game though. Not if you play it all day though.

Phew, good thing IW sucks AMIRITE?!
Treyarch is miles ahead of IW...well besides the hype machine project.
Oh yeah, I have over 15 days logged for MW2 with 40K kills and a 3 K/D ratio, but the game is broken and pretty shitty overall. It's a 6/10...7.5/10 at best.
Def. 10/10 for the hype machine though.
