Jason West and Vince Zampella, the recently-fired heads of Activision-owned Modern Warfare studio Infinity Ward, have signed up with Creative Artists Agency, according to a report in the L.A. Times' Company Town blog. Zampella and West agreed to be represented by Hollywood's biggest talent agency as they begin their post-Infinity Ward lives after being recently fired by parent company Activision, which alleged insubordination and breach of contract. The two subsequently filed a $36 million lawsuit against the publisher for wrongful termination and breach of contract. Infinity Ward's latest title, November 10's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 generated $1 billion on its own after just two months. The Call of Duty franchise overall has generated over $3 billion, with major console releases alternated between Infinity Ward and Activision sister studio Treyarch. The L.A.
