FIVE More Developers Leave Infinity Ward

sounds like a new company will start up....

So after all of the developers join respawn I wonder what they will call it then? Respawned?

I would like to know, why are they leaving Infinity ward ?
Does the company sucks hard or someone has a virus and that's why everyone is leaving?

Link fail lol:

Looks like the next Modern Warfare installment will be made with the pc gaming community in mind. Dedicated servers & hopefully mapping tools, anyone?

Well there goes the MP....

Activision is probably going to get on the Press Release and say "Everything is OK! Do not dump our stock nothing is wrong this is normal after games are released, people leave. Seriously!"

Reminds me of this place:

If, as Activision claims, Jason and Vince were in the wrong and being totally unreasonable and greedy... I'd be hard pressed to believe 16 other people who value their jobs and Activision as "such a great publisher" would leave to join with these jerks again. Yeah, right Activision. Besides, Activision has already shown consumers how greedy they are.

Perhaps this will teach publishers an important lesson: it's the developers and the people that matter the most, not the name of an IP. Opinions on Modern Warfare 2 aside, this will undoubtedly be a major blow to Activision's Modern Warfare 3.

I look forward to the coming years where publishers get moved largely out of the equation. As things move completely to digital distribution (not just for PC, but console as well) the only reason a publisher will be necessary is for funding. I think we will see a trend where a successful development house will start with a publisher/investor for initial funding, and then move out to be completely self sustainable. I think we will also see for more creative games, risks, and indie games being developed, as well as a renaissance in genres such as the Adventure game (as Telltale has already shown us).

Once again, this won't be a blow to Activision's MW3, because Activison doesn't own MW3. The founders of Respawn own the rights to MW3 and any subsequent MW title. Activision owns the rights to the COD series.

I hope we don't hear a similar story about Blizzard in the near future.

this is major because most of the people leaving are senior level.

Its cool guys IW still has the janitor and the security guard MW3 INC!

Wow. They are losing a lot of people. I can't imagine that the next Call of Duty games are going to be anywhere near as good.

im hoping everyone that glorifies MW2 is realizing what a crap job the next COD will be.... i for one wont even bother to look at anything with IW on it, or activision for that matter.

Let me list a few good game companys iv seen
Valve
Tripwire (killing floor)
Dice(bf ftw)
everything else iv seen is crap

At this stage, it will be hard to imagine a MW3. That just shows the loyalty that these people has for their leader. Activision really messed up. They can not become like EA, or else it will be hard to succeed.

you forgot Blizzard. They remain the best.

"Fly way, skyline pigeon fly"

Guess this is turning into a question of when do they finsh closing the studio O.o how many real employee are left

Boy ... hope COD 7: Vietnam won't be delayed ...

lols...this is awesome...hopefully they make another FPS, this time with dedicated servers

I wonder if they change the name of the studio? Infinity Guy? Geriatric Ward? Toms we name a naming contest for the newly castrated studio please!

There was a great book called, and then there were NONE.... Go Respawn, make a game that would make fans COD and Medal of honour proud!
