In today's news, there could possibly be some conflict between
Treyarch &
Infinity Ward - the two companies responsible for bringing us new Call of Duty games. This debacle stems from the franchise's upcoming game, Black Ops 2. Apparently
Game Informer has gotten a hold of some court documents that show how the upcoming game might break agreements between the two companies:
Above is the aforementioned excerpt that shows that IW has a monopoly on titles set in modern day (post Vietnam), the near future, or distant future. While this seems like IW may have a clear cut case against Activision I think that this game wouldn't have lasted as long as it has since Activision should know about policies between their subsidiaries, and wouldn't have let this get too far. If IW does win in legal action, it would leave the upcoming CoD in a awkward situation. If you want to see more of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, check out our
