According to an interview with West and Zampella in OPM, the Infinity Ward heads emphasised that they had to “fight for everything” with its publishing house, including Modern Warfare.

“Activision also did not want Modern Warfare,” said Zampella.

“They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], ‘oh my god you can’t do that, it’s crazy!’ They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time.”
