After all the hubbub at Infinity Ward on Monday it seems that Activision is in the middle of doing the stupidest thing – as Ben Affleck would put it – since having Greedo shoot first.

Out are Infinity Ward founders Jason West and Vince Zampella , and in is Sledgehammer Games helmed by Glen A. Schofield and Michael Condrey.

Activision has reiterated that Infinity ward will still be releasing two DLC map packs this year for Modern warfare 2, but for the Call of Duty that is to be released in 2011, it’s going to be a whole new ball game. Apparently CoD will be expanding into an Action-Adventure genre and that my friends is how YOU KILL A FRANCHISE.
