The Hollywood Reporter has the latest on Vince Zampella and Jason West's legal battle with Activision, saying a recent court ruling means this is probably headed to trial (thanks GamePro). Here's the summary:

In March, Superior Court judge Elihu Berle ruled that Activision had sufficient claims against Electronic Arts. On Tuesday, the judge ruled that West and Zampella had sufficient claims against Activision.

Together, the decisions make it highly likely that the dispute will survive the preliminary stage, and barring any settlement, reach trial later this year or early next year.
