 former Infinity Ward executives Jason West and Vince Zampella. 
Activision claims West and Zampella &amp;#39;morphed from valued, responsible 
executives into insubordinate and self-serving schemers who attempted to
 hijack Activision&amp;#39;s assets for their own personal gain and whose 
actions threatened both the future of the &lt;em&gt;Call of Duty&lt;/em&gt; 
franchise and the future of Activision&amp;#39;s (Infinity Ward) studio.&amp;#39;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;This follows Activision&amp;#39;s firing
 of the execs earlier this year. Legal documents indicate that this 
legal dispute has caused
 delays in the production of &lt;em&gt;Modern Warfare 3&lt;/em&gt;. Lawyers for 
the two fired execs say
 Activision&amp;#39;s claims are ridiculous, citing &lt;em&gt;Modern Warfare 2&amp;#39;s&lt;/em&gt;
 overwhelming financial success. Meanwhile, it&amp;#39;s rumored that EA is seeing
 the whole fiasco as an opportunity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
