Sledgehammer tipped for Nov 2011 COD.
The increasingly bitter war between mega videogame publishers Activision and Electronic Arts levelled up this week when the Call of Duty publisher attempted to drag its chief rival into its countersuit against ex-Infinity Ward stars Vince Zampella and Jason West.
In a mammoth document published by Joystiq, Activision alleges that EA “conspired” with West and Zampella to “derail Activision’s Call of Duty franchise, disrupt its Infinity Ward development studio, and inflict serious harm on the company”. Activision wants a whopping $400 million in damages from EA.
But could Activision also block Zampella and West’s new studio, Respawn Enetertainment, from creating new games for EA?
