## History

Spark Unlimited was established by a team of 28 developers who had previously worked on the Medal of Honor series. It signed with Activision to work on a Call of Duty game in December 2003.[2]

In 2005, Spark filed a lawsuit against Activision and accused the company of trying to "kill off" Spark.[3] Activision counter-sued for fraud.[4][5]

In 2005, Spark announced a deal to develop several games for ad network Massive.[6]
