Black Ops 2: 2025 Setting violates IW contract!

Uh-oh, it would appear that Activision may have done an oopsie. According to court documents relating to the upcoming ‘Acti vs. fired IW heads’ battle obtained by GameInformer, no post-Vietnam Call of Duty game can be developed by anyone other than Infinity Ward, which of course would be a problem for the near-future Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Infinity Ward’s Memorandum of Understanding clearly states that Activision will retain authority and responsibility over all titles within the Call of Duty franchise while “specifically excluding any Call of Duty title set in modern day (post Vietnam), the near future or distant furuer, which shall be under the authority of IW”. Whether Activision still considers the agreement valid after it fired IW heads Jason West and Vince Zampella is the question here, then. The upcoming court drama will hopefully clarify on that. Should the former IW execs come out winners though — according to an intellectual property lawyer GI spoke to — they may have the right to ask Black Ops II to be pulled from shelves (the less likely option) or get forced royalty payments (the more profitable option). The court date has been set for May 29.

I mean i don't want it to be cancelled.I don't understand why you want it to be cancelled.
Black ops 2 pre order is more than the selling of MW3

Because the Call of Duty series needs a break.

And I don't think so, BOII just exceeded Day-One Preorders.

BO 2 looks like a great game. they will probebly force royalty payments because they can't pull it now they already hyped it up to much with trailers and stuff. For future COD games I don't think that they should go into the future anymore, then it just becomes to far fetched.

Yeah, that's exactly what's going to happen but I still hope deep down that COD will take a break, because of this which is very unlikely to happen.

EA vs Activision Blizzard.
I feel EA is winning because:
World of Warcraft is dying
Call of Duty is making fans more piss off.
EA is making a lot of games, and it brings a lot of money to them.I don't like EA(Money hunger)

haha xD
Im imagining all the 13 year olds freaking out.

Yeah, me too, I can't wait to kill those communist bastard, but of course them starting the war is the only driver of my rage, not the fact that they're kicking the US's ass in almost every way possible.

On topic: I never really liked the first Black Ops, So i'll be getting my lulz regardless of the outcome of all of this. xd

Glad to have your input on this you little sand nigz0r ;D
Nah but I really liked the 70's setting of Black Ops, was a real let down for me when I found out it was going to be set in the Future.
