I just happened to stumble across this. Two heads of IW fired by Activision???????? Maybe we shouldn't be so pissed at IW after all. Perhaps it's that money grubbing Activision, led by video game industry douche-bag Robert Kotick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kotick) that is to blame. Read about it here:

lol @ this reply:

Translation:
Infinity Ward heads: "We want to try something new."
Activision: "NO!!! WE WANT TO MILK THIS SERIES FOR ALL IT'S WORTH"
Infinity Ward heads: "But if we keep making the same modern-era Call of Duty games, we'll stagnate the series."
Activision: "MILK!!!! WE LOVE MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Infinity Ward heads: "I don't think we can go along with that."
Activision: "I DON'T LIKE BITCHING COWS! GTFO AND LEAVE US TO OUR MILK DRINKING IN PEACE!"
