EA calls Activision's legal claims 'deliberate misdirection'

4.7
In light of last night's revised lawsuit announcement by Activision, Electronic Arts corporate spokesperson Jeff Brown responded on behalf of his company, characterizing the announcement to the LA Times as "a PR [public relations] play filled with pettiness and deliberate misdirection." The revised suit added EA as defendants in the case between Activision and West/Zampella, citing several alleged interactions between the ex-Infinity Ward heads and EA, a relationship said to have been fostered by talent agency CAA.

Brown continued, accusing Activision of attempting to "hide the fact that they have no credible response to the claim of the two artists who were fired." He further contends that West and Zampella "now just want to get paid for their work." Unfortunately, it seems for all parties involved that this whole affair is a bit far beyond the basic reconciliation point.

Its said how such a great gaming developer, (Infinity Ward) has to go through all of this, all because of West and Zampella making secret interactions with Electronic Arts.

Call of Duty 4 was the only CoD that was balanced & fun and didn't get boring a month into the game...

TechnicalGuy "InfinityWard" is just hating on "Treyarch" because everyone hated "Treyarch" until they made
Black Ops 10x better than Modern Warfare: 2 !!

If there gonna fire their F*ckin head people of the whole company, then they have no right to complain about any game because they are just a company that doesn't know how to patch game glitches, and all there trying to do is take over everything in the COD business!

InfinityWard=SMASHED by Treyarch!

This is official until they can show me that they know f*ckin business.

InfinityWard was so slow, i got to 10th prestige before they patched that Lame-Ass care package glitch.

HAHA FAIL!!


No iw is the best every game trayarch made failed Iw and slegehammer is garbage .. so it looks like the call of duty series is dead so im gonna start buying ea's games cuz there games there is no camping more fun and its balanced
