    so tonnes of people are leaving infinity ward, while the two heads are forming a new studio. we have no real word yet but i wouldnt be surprised if the new studio respawn hired those ex infinity ward devs. this remind anyone of a certain situation involving a mr jeff gehrstman and a bomb that is giant?

    The original developer is going to be totally bereft of humour, and full of extremely lame scripted videos (did anyone see the Gamespot April Fool's thing? 3D Man? I wanted to puke); and the new company is going to be totally awesome you say? I'd get behind that (again).

    Bullshit, Remember when EA was the big bad corporate everyone liked to hate, We don't know the details, just saying OH but it's Activision they are evil "Hissss" is not a valid argument.

    The same thing happened when Itagaki left Tecmo/Koei.  A lot of talented people left the company, too. 
     
    And, maybe my memory is fooling me, but I think something similar happened when these guys (Zampella & West) left EA/Medal of Honor in 2002.  That's what makes the recent turn of events so funny.  They left EA and took folks to form Infinity Ward.  Now, they left Infinity Ward and took folks to form Respawn Entertainment and are back at EA.

    Sure it's not in the trial but to form MY opinion on who's in the right or wrong it is. I hate the way Activision works and I like the games that Infinity Ward makes, good enough reason for me to take sides.
