Infinity Ward snubbed 'ridiculous' MW2 budget

The studio behind this year's biggest game was offered a "ridiculous" development budget from the world's biggest publisher; a budget big enough for the team to politely decline.

In the first half of an extensive interview with Develop, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling revealed the extent in which Activision was willing to go to ensure Modern Warfare 2 hits its marks.

"Early on – when we decided to make a sequel – Activision estimated out a ridiculous budget. And we were like: 'No, we don't need that'," he said.
