->"This is the game which is more interesting as a lawsuit than it is as a video game. What the hell am I talking about? Well...the developers of this game, Spark Unlimited, much like Infinity Ward, used to work for Creator/ElectronicArts, making ''VideoGame/MedalOfHonor'' games. However, they left, and Electronic Arts promptly sued them for, among other things, supposedly not returning texture libraries and various other things. That was settled out of court by Creator/{{Activision}}, and Activision then set them to work on making ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyFinestHour,'' which they then promptly did not make. In fact, in one of the development masters, [[EpicFail they had only made one level of a game that was supposed to have fifteen]]. So Activision had to make six of the levels themselves, and also had to outsource making two versions of it to other development houses, and [[NetworkToTheRescue generally help the shit out of Spark Unlimited]]. Spark Unlimited [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished then sued them for it]] (!), saying that among other things, they didn't accept them picking up the sequel, and that they hired away some of their employees, so this is basically, Spark Unlimited is the people that Activision didn't want. Activision then sued them right the hell back, and that was only settled out of court with Creator/{{Codemasters}}[[note]]publishers of their next game, ''VideoGame/TurningPointFallOfLiberty''[[/note]] when they named them in the lawsuit, so yes, all very fun stuff. And half of the people who Spark Unlimited have made games for...have sued them later."
