Was Black ops 2 a game thought of by IW over 4 years ago? Some info seems to suggest that may be true.

Call Of Duty Devs Planned ‘Halo Beater’, Took It To EA – Activision. Activision alleges that Infinity Ward’s former bosses planned a science-fiction shooter to rival Halo and is now developing the idea at Respawn Entertainment.

Activision alleges that the idea for Respawn Entertainment’s yet-to-be-announced debut game is a new sci-fi shooter IP to rival Halo – an idea dreamt up by Vince Zampella and Jason West while still at Infinity Ward.

The AP revealed the claim in a report on Activision’s settlement with EA yesterday.

“Activision has sought access to details about Respawn’s work for Electronic Arts on a new game that has not been revealed,” reads the story.

“Activision claimed the pair had discussed creating a science-fiction shooter intended to challenge the “Halo” franchise, but instead of delivering that game gave it to Redwood City-based Electronic Arts.”
