So Who is Left Still Working at Infinity Ward?

How rude. Considering the meh-ness of MW2, to be honest, I don't see them losing these people as necessarily a bad thing. Good for them, they'll get to go do their own thing, but I'd really like to see some new talent in the industry, and this is an opportunity for Infinity Ward to revitalize itself!

I want to show this clip to every raving MW2/Xbox360 fanboy and tell them they killed something beautiful.

Still plenty.

COD franchise is screwed. I dunno if I should care or not... that knife stab on my back still kinda hurts.

in a few months all that will be left is the janitors.

I dont get what the deal is with MW2. It was a pretty standard game...
Glad to see that the leaders clearly played a role in making this game. Seems like alot of the developers had their allegiance with them, not the company.

the people left could not make a game on their own. these are the people who do the grunt work, but all the design comes from people who have now left.

im sure we will see a new dev team in the near future, comprised of all those who have left. and i wouldn't be surprised if they try to take down COD (and activision) with their first release.

Need to put the Cannon Fodder "lost in service/Recruitment" music in the credits

By the end of next week? Nobody.

Achievement Unlocked!

Sink the Ship

Treyarch is still around, so I don't think the COD franchise is dead...yet.

I know some hate Treyarch, but I actually liked WaW a lot. The single player was sweet and the multiplayer went to level 70...and IT HAD MUTHA FLIPPIN ATTACK DOGS!!!! Suck it helicopters!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare games are over, at least with Activision. It will be interesting to see if Respawn does get the rights to the MW franchise or not.

Attach dogs!!!

A pity the idiots responsible for 'story' have all jumped ship. They ruined MW2 and should really have stayed at Activision to help screw that company a bit more.

This is probably just me as a non FPS person here, but it seems that people love their FPS games, regardless of how good the game actually is. MW3 will still come out, it's a cash cow, and it'll be mediocre, and people will eat it up.

Really though... Someone at Activision maded a dreadful miscalculation when they played hardball with these guys. Now they have nothing. Whomever the "Brain Trust" was on that decision should get his arse handed to him with a pink piece of paper. He played a game of chicken and ended up as the goose.

without leads no one will know wtf they are doing, or even when they need to complete things. LOLOL

the problem is that the ones that stayed are the easiest to replace ... everything else is the engine behind the project ... and what is any car without an engine? ... scrap metal on wheels

Meh.. Why is it big of deal for few lead people leave? Remaining senior member will be promoted into lead role while young and talent new artists will be able to join the company.


It is base level of artist or animation doing most of work anyway. Animation leads and modeling leads are more of superior role.

I kinda actually wanted MW3...

I've never played COD.
So...

so dont comment

sooooo...... IW will be making a zombie survival game next then....

I was excited about first MW for rank system and modern weapons, and was first game I bought in a very long time, after CSS. Though it got frustrated after a while I realized how unrealistic and small the game is. I'm glad I didn't buy their next game, which seems dying after few month, like the previous. Only Valve FPS game worth the money for their long support.

COD was always garbage. MOH:AA multiplayer with realism mod and no shotguns or noobtubes was where it was at. BF2 was great as well.

Interesting that the writers and designers have been wiped out yet the art department is almost completely intact. Wonder what that means, if anything.

F*** Activision!

hmmm perhaps MW2 will live on with mods and new maps and .... uh oops they didn't allow for that did they?

Good riddance.

The last good CoD was CoD4:MW
