Memo alleges Zampella delayed MW2 DLC to help EA's Battlefield
Former IW bosses gave Bad Company 2 a leg up?
The ongoing wrangling between the former bosses of Infinity Ward, Vince Zampella and Jason Ward, EA and Activision has taken another twist today with the emergence of a new memo.

The memo seems to indicate that Vince Zampella strategically delayed the DLC for Modern Warfare 2 in order to help sales of Battlefield Bad Company 2.
The supposed internal memo from an EA executive states: "A couple months ago, I asked Vince to hold back their map pack until after we launched. (He owes me one)" and goes on to add "Given that they've already made a billion, he [Zampella] was cool with that, obviously [Activision CEO, Bobby] Kotick took it as being belligerent."
With Modern Warfare 2's Stimulus pack of DLC arriving four weeks after Battlefield Bad Company 2 launched Activision are suggesting that, given the content of the memo, the delay in releasing the Stimulus pack was deliberately orchestrated by Zampella on EA's behalf.
