EA has responded to Activision's $400m West/Zampella lawsuit, in which it has been named as a defendant.
An EA spokesperson called Activision's allegations - which include "draining [Infinity Ward] of talent and potentially delaying future Call of Duty games" - "petty".
Activision is alleging that EA dispatched a private jet to Southern California to shuttle West and Zampella to a secret meeting at the home of EA's CEO John Riccitiello in August 2009.
Activision claims that EA intentionally interfered with contracts, engaged in unfair competition and "aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by the executives."
EA's Jeff Brown said in a statement: "This is a PR play filled with pettiness and deliberate misdirection. Activision wants to hide the fact that they have no credible response to the claim of two artists who were fired and now just want to get paid for their work."
