It Was A Fun Ride Infinity Ward.

Seriously, if you're still clinging onto that Call Of Duty and Modern Warfare brand, you may aswell stop. That's not to undermine Treyarch's efforts. They're a good studio that make good games. It's just that Infinity Ward are were the life-blood of the franchise.

But that's studio's now all but dead. With gaffers Vince Zampella and Jason West over at EA's Respawn Entertainment now - the exodus of Infinity Ward staff has begun. VG247 reported two veteran Infinity Ward men left the company yesterday, and now Kotaku brings word of a further four departing employees. They report that Modern Warfare 2's lead designers Steve Fukuda and Zied Reike, programmer Rayme Vinson, and lead artist Chris Cherubini will all join the exodus today.

Infinity Ward is dead at this point. Expect the numbers to keep on dropping.
