Jason West and Vince Zampella, co-founders of Activision?s Infinity Ward studio, sued Activision Blizzard in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, claiming breach of contract and wrongful termination. The two former executives, creators of the "Call of Duty" game franchise, claim the video game publisher fired them on ?false? insubordination charges to avoid paying royalties.

?Activision terminated their employment weeks before they were to be paid substantial royalty payments as part of their existing contracts for ?Modern Warfare 2,?? West and Zampella?s lawyers at O?Melveny & Myers LLP wrote in a statement.

They seek at least $36 million and control over ?Modern Warfare,? a subset of the ?Call of Duty? combat games, according to a copy of the complaint.
