Infinity Ward's Vince Zampella and Jason West Sacked?
Acording to a news tidbit coming out of G4 (and later reported by Kotaku), Activision met with the two studio heads earlier today and haven't been seen since. In the meantime, security guards have encamped the Infinity Ward offices and the company's spokesperson Robert Ward (Twitter: fourzerotwo) has been unusually quiet about the whole thing. Friction has been rumored to have been building up between Modern Warfare 2's publisher and developer for a while now, but this has quickly escalated to a dramatic level.
While Infinity Ward isn't saying much, Activision hasn't been quite so reticent: Quote "The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward," Acitivsion states in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. "This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation. At present, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company."

"The Passing" to be released in March with more DLC to come.
It looks like Coach and the rest of our new friends will be hooking up with old Bill, Francis, Zoe and Louis during this new campaign according to Valve. After The Passing comes out in March, it will be followed by a comic illustrated by Powers artist Michael Avon Oeming. A month or so after that, entirely new downloadable content will follow.

Gamespot grabbed a pair of 3D glasses and took out Dice's new baby on a test run.
While the original Battlefield: Bad Company may have been a console exclusive, the sequel looks set to shine on the PC. During our visit to developer Dice in Sweden, we talked to a dedicated PC team whose job it is to make this the definitive version, thanks to improvements such as 32-player multiplayer (compared to 24 on the consoles), a menu system customised for mouse and keyboard, and support for 3D using Nvidia technology. Even better, we got to put all of these features to the test thanks to an exclusive hands-on.

On December 11th, Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that it is developing Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 for next-generation consoles and PC. Developed at Ubisoft Montreal by the same team that created the award-winning Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas, the highly anticipated sequel is scheduled for a March 2008 release. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth iteration in the wildly successful Rainbow Six franchise which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008 with more than 16 million units sold worldwide to date.
“Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas took the gaming world by storm in 2006 thanks to its technological advances and gameplay innovations,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “We are convinced that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the table.”
The highly anticipated sequel to the winner of numerous awards, including IGN’s 2006 Best First Person Shooter and Best Online Game, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will push the franchise to new heights by adding new gameplay features and even more stunning visuals. Players will encounter an intense solo campaign that uses new tactical possibilities in various locations around Sin City. As expected with one of the pioneer franchises for online multiplayer Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also break new ground in both co-op and adversarial modes, while providing unprecedented interaction between the solo and multiplayer modes.
Fans will be pleased to know that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is featured in a world-exclusive first-look in the January issue of Official Xbox Magazine, available on newsstands December 14, 2007.
The PC Games website now has six new screen shots of the upcoming Rainbow Six: Vegas2. You can see the screen shots here.
