Something's happening at Infinity Ward right now.

A source close to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer just informed me that a "bunch of bouncer-types" just showed up outside of the Infinity Ward offices unannounced. When approached by employees, the non-uniformed "bouncers" were unwilling to disclose why they were there.

"Everyone is on edge," said my source.

Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West reportedly met with Activision this morning and have not been seen by Infinity Ward staff members since. My source did not delve into specifics, but described the relationship between Infinity Ward and Activision lately as "tense."

The mood around the Infinity Ward offices is currently described as "freaked out" and "confused."

"We just wanna make our games," said my source.

I've contacted Activision for comment on the ongoing situation at Infinity Ward. Stay tuned.

I feel like it's just a publicity stunt but, I could be wrong. Thoughts?

I'm really intrigued though. Bobby Kotick is a real d-bag, so I wouldn't doubt he would do something like this. But, BFBC2 does come out tomorrow.

Yeah I didn't really think to seriously about it at first. I forgot that BFBC2 comes out tomorrow, I bet that has something to do with it.
 
Odd indeed. Sounds like a "Vietnam" reference..."Freaked out" and "Confused"..

On 2nd thought:

"The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward," Acitivsion states in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation. At present, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company."
