i hope more leave.

This is like the Gerstmanngate incident. I imagine even more are going to leave Infinity Ward.

You can bet that despite the official statement that they haven't been sniping positions away from IW, stuff like this won't look good for their case if these guys leaving decide to jump on board to Respawn. I just wonder if they're going to hold off any official announcements on that 'till after the trials.

That's such a shame. I wondering how MW3 will turn out now. I mean, imagine the hype.

Good, they're leaving to make their dream come true.  Lincoln Force.

This keeps up there might not be another MW game for a long wile. "

They will form a new company under EA most likely and carry on making great games. IF they can not get the Modern Warfare name they will just set another IP or EA will probably give them COD to do.
 
Who knows but they will make games.
 
IW are not all great though, the online for the game is really quite crap in a few places. Seeing people stand at the start pointing pointing up grenade launchers and firing hitting one of the capture zones killing people and switching weapons with the talent until they get the kills needed to release choppers etc is just daft.
The amount of exploits on the PC version is crazy and while match making is better from launch it is still pants. 
Can not blame them about the expansion as I bet that is Activiosn being greedy.

I'm sure that third studio will probably end up with the MW IP and fail or succed with it. I think IW is gonna fold. "

Dang that sucks

Good. Hope they go to Respawn.

" @thenexus: Now that they are under the same banner I'm hoping that DICE whispers a few suggestions to them about dedicated servers and free maps. "

" @The_Laughing_Man: Maybe this whole IW vs Activision thing is a big scam. Bobby wanted intell of the inner workings of DICE and their work on Battlefield 3 so pretended to fire West and Zampella. And EA took the bait. They will start spreading rumours around the coffee room about "Who slept with whom" and "Jeez, Sarah from accounting is a slut". This will cause DICE to implode and West & Zampella will return to Bobby's secret hideout to complete the next CoD. "

I doubt they will delay MW3. If they have to they will just reskin MW2 and no one will notice and it will still sell 10 mil. PROFIT

" Good. Hope they go to Respawn. "

Good.

This is fucking awesome, I don't like the COD series only because of Activision and IW are sticking it to the man.

In these situations no one wants to be left behind.

This.   So they can team up with Epic.  To make a proper Aliens FPS.  IF handles the space marines and Epic makes the aliens.   I also think MW3 is guaranteed to suck World at War style, with out the original crew.      R.I.P.  Infinity Ward... "
