(Let me note, I'm not trying to break the news about it, I just want to discuss what possibilities could come out of this situation.)
Wow I was just reading this article, about the Lead Software Engineer and the Lead Designer leaving and really got me thinking about what the next Infinity Ward game could be. Since a lot of their main guys have left leaving a huge hole to fill, it could be a really good thing because with fresh minds can come really great and inovating ideas. What do you guys think is going to happen? I'm betting that they are hopefully going to move the direction a bit more in a different way.
Check out the article talking about two guys that just left.

More developers are leaving Infinity Ward. Could this be a good?

Personally, I'm for following West/Zampella wherever they land.
Also, check the forums before you post old news; this was posted here like 5 times.

CoD to go the way of Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero.
Its bad for everyone, except perhaps those who left. Who may be better off now that Activision isnt fucking around with their products.
" (Let me note, I'm not trying to break the news about it, I just want to discuss what possibilities could come out of this situation.)Or it will most likely mean that the new guys coming in are chickenshit, meaning that they will keep churning out the same game.

I really hope EA picks up Todd Alderman. I'd really like if EA picked up everyone that got cut from Infinity Ward.
I think that if west/zampella win the lawsuit for the title and characters in Modern Warfare, and get a lot of the team back together they can do a lot of good out from under Activision's thumb.
I will keep an eye on new CoD titles from Infinity Ward, but with an announcement like Action Adventure title, I am very disenchanted with them.
New and good ideas are not hard to come by, everyone has them.
Everything is in their implementation and execution.
Also new people are easier to bend to the publishers will.
I think as long as Activision is creeping up Infinity Ward butt, there wont be delivering anything "fresh" to their games. However, the developers which are leaving IW might form a new team and create something completely new and awesome. I mean, we've seen what they can do -- Moder Warfare, the original.
