March 1 is the new April Fool's Day

Meet the new CEO of Infinity Ward

lol SONY BUY THEM QUICK! :P either way crappy situation :S wonder what led to this

I also wonder, does Microsoft still get their timed exclusive DLC?

Activision is screwing themselves over, whose next Tony Hawk?

UPDATE: It appears that studio head Jason West has been let go from Infinity Ward. West's LinkedIn account now lists his position as "past," and shows that the position ended in March 2010. In addition, one of our own sources inside Infinity Ward has said that Activision is "flexing their muscles" against the studio, attempting to "push back against change." More as we hear it.

You know I think this is a major stunt to steal a thunder of a certain game coming out. If it's real it's a very foolish choice.

My guess is IW proably got too big for Activision and started demanding things and Activision looked at Blizzards earnings and realized they don't have to negotiate.

^firing the ceo is not a stunt

I blame Wii Fit

This is only half a joke - I am sure that though probably not anything close to the main reason, IW's refusal to work on the Wii versions of MW, even though Activision wanted these versions, didn't exactly help.
