Infinity Ward Studio Heads Missing [Update]

G4 are reporting that some serious stuff seems to be going on at Infinity Ward. No, this ins’t an announcement for a new game, but more an announcement of concern for the heads of the studio.

“A bunch of bouncer-types” apparently showed up at the Modern Warfare 2 developer’s HQ unannounced and, when questioned by employees, would not provide any information as to why they were there. Vince Zampella and Jason West met with Activision yesterday morning and have not been seen by the Infinity Ward staff since. A source inside the studio described the relationship between the two companies as “tense”.

Rumors are abound that this is some kind of publicity stunt, used to counter the launch of Battlefield Bad Company 2. G4′s Patrick Klepek – the man who broke this story – is urging people to take this seriously. In one of the latest posts on his Twitter page, Klepek says: “Guys, come on. This is not a publicity stunt.” Activison have been contacted, but are yet to provide a comment on the situation.

Update – Well now we know it wasn’t a publicity stunt. Activision have stated that Jason West and Vince Zempella are no longer with Infinity Ward.
