Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling, Mr. fourzerotwo, just let twitter know to expect the first map pack for Modern Warfare 2 on March 30. In what I am sure they feel is a clever PR move, his twitter links people to a website about Mapathy. I guess with the firing of the two studio heads, IW now has extra money to hire people to come up with clever terms for map packs.

G4tv.com’s Patrick Klepek is reporting that a “tense” situation is brewing at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward. Infinity Ward studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West reportedly met with Activision yesterday morning and have not been seen by Infinity Ward staff members since. Based on some information that has been surfacing throughout the night, it appears both men have been let go from the company.

A screen shot surfaced from Infinity Ward CTO Jason West’s Facebook page at Kotaku with the status update “Jason West is drinking. Also, unemployed.” I can confirm from a source that’s friends with West that update did actually come from West’s account. West also updated his Linkedin profile to appears to reflect a change in employment.

“President/Game Director/CCO/CTO Infinity Ward
January 2001 – March 2010 (9 years 3 months)”
