Infinity Ward Studio Head Sacked By Activision, Cites Insubordination

UPDATE: According to his LinkedIn page, Vince Zampella, the other studio head at Infinity Ward, is also no longer working for the company.

Original Story: According to a report on G4, two studio heads of Infinity Ward (the developer of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2") have been unseen by staff since a meeting with Activision yesterday. Some time later one of the studio heads, Jason West, updated his LinkedIn profile, listing his time at Infinity Ward as past tense:

President/Game Director/CCO/CTO Infinity Ward
January 2001 – March 2010 (9 years 3 months)

Activision has since revealed that West is no longer with the company.

Meanwhile, an SEC filing made by Activision yesterday cites: "breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward." The second senior employee is likely Vince Zampella, who has also not been heard from since yesterday. His current employment status is unknown.

It's unknown what set all this off or what it means for the future of Infinity Ward working on the "Call of Duty" franchise. I've reached out to Activision and Infinity Ward to get some clarification.
