Called it! Well, it wasn’t exactly rocket science in the first place, but four former Infinity Ward employees have jumped ship and gone to former IW studio heads Jason West and Vince Zampella’s new development studio, Respawn Entertainment.

Hey, gang. This was supposed to have been published a while ago, but the technology gods ate my post. And the draft. And my soul. Anyway, my apologies. On with the post!
The fight between Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward and publisher Activision Blizzard continues to heat up as five more employees of Infinity Ward have left. This brings the body count to at least 17, which is not an insignificant number for the small development studio based in Encino, California.

Anyone remember expansion packs? You know, those things so aptly named because they expanded a game’s story, maps, equipment and characters without requiring a significant update to the game itself. The advantage to them was that a person didn’t need to install the original game engine again, as indeed there was no need to repackage it, so it was slightly cheaper to produce.
I think, somewhere around Halo 2, everyone realized that there was no reason to make expansions, or stand-alone expansions, when you could make twice the money just slapping a number on the end of the name. I’m frankly unsure as to how anyone could think Left 4 Dead 2 should have just been DLC or an expansion and yet still be excited about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 by Infinity Ward, or CoDIVMWIIbIF for short.

If you thought the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 was a bit much, with its cat-head-sized Spartan helmet, just wait until you see the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2. It comes with working night-vision goggles. And they’re normal human head size too. No, I’m not kidding.

Finally, a real trailer for Infinity Ward’s sequel to the super hit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. It looks pretty nice.

In a rash and incomprehensible move, Infinity Ward community manager Robert “fourtwozero” Bowling has made a Twitter Suggestions Box for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, where he innocently asks the denizens of the internet “What are your top feature requests for the Modern Warfare 2 community site?” Prepare yourself for a tidal wave of stupidity.

So your Army recruiter thought your near-sighted, asthmatic, two-left-feet-having ass wouldn’t cut it in today’s Army? Well here is your chance to prove him wrong. To prove him wrong AGAIN! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is official. As official as a heart attack.
