Modern Warfare Will Stay With Activision
Pachter says that any claim Zampella and West had on the brand was lost when they were terminated from Activision. The analyst who holds multiple law degrees said that there is no legal basis to award ownership of the brand to them. "If they can prove their termination was wrongful, they will be entitled to damages, but there is no legal basis to award ownership". The analyst continued in statements to Industry Gamers, "Their creative control was clearly intended to be in effect only while they were employees, and the day that their employment terminated, their creative control ended."
Pachter concluded by downplaying the latest news about the possibility of West and Zampella getting control of the franchise or even co-owning it with Activision, thinking that it would be unreasonable for the court to issue such a demand to Activision in any circumstance.
"I know this all makes for thrilling news, but they aren't getting control over the brand, and they most certainly won't co-own it, as widely reported by gaming news sites."

OxMotoxOshadow1 So does this mean IW will no longer have any part for MW? If so, thats a good thing because activision will make MW3 like cod 4 making it enjoyable and playable.
Sigh, you really don't understand this do you?
Activision is a Publisher. They basically own IW and Treyarch, they make the big decisions and tell other people what to do.
IW and Treyarch are DEVELOPERS. They make the actual games. IW made CoD 4, not Activision. Infinity Ward still exists and are making MW3 (or whatever the next Call of Duty will be), but the heads (west and zampella) and most of the core people of IW, have left Activision.
But activision also hated some of iw ideas from what i heard. They will probably use same engine as cod 4 did.

TTGNAPALMBATH Good! At last a chance for MW to have as much funding/time/resources from Activision as it needs instead of being under the thumb of 'creative control'.
what are you talking about? Activiosion makes the rules, they put the dates on things that need to get done, they pay the developers to do what they say, they just lost some of the best developers at Activision. This has pretty much doomed the call of duty series because now tryarch is the best and thats a humongous staement since they have about no creative people in tryarch. On the other hand Ravensoft is making the multiplayer for modern warfare 3 and iw is making the singleplayer with sludgehammer. Ravensoft I just hope won't go as outragest as their last game with time-freeze grenades. Though I know anyone who has the creative ability to make that game deffinitely deserves more credit then what tryarch improved on. I just wonder if Respawn Entertainments contract says somewher that they can't publish a game within a certain time frame of them being fired. If not then they will be coming out with "The call of duty killer"(stated late last year) when mw3 comes out. Now I just wonder what the community will prefer, a badly codded game yet good server (Activision) or a poor server yet a well codded game (Electronic Arts)?
