The success of MW2 continues despite company collapse.

There have been very few company management meltdowns as public and as ill-timed as the one presently occurring between Activision and Infinity Ward. After breaking sales records with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in late 2009, Activsion grossly miscalculated its firing of Infinity Ward founders, Jason West and Vince Zampella.

The result of the firing has already resulted in 26 Infinity Ward staff members turning in their letters of resignation to Activision, and they appear to have a clear designation for their migration: Respawn Entertainment.

Respawn Entertainment is the newly created indie gaming studio launched by Jason West and Vince Zampella. Only time will tell if they will succeed at creating a competitor for the Call of Duty franchise, but it certainly appears that they have Activision within their crosshairs.
