Everyone stopped counting, but this website didn't. 44 People left Infinity Ward amid broken promises, bad environment and stress caused by Activision. Almost 60% of Infinity Ward's Developers left, and rumors of IW's death is stronger than ever.

(3 of 10) 30% of animators/technical animators/mocap people are gone
(7 of 22) 32% of artists/concept artists are gone
(16 of 23) 69% of designers and scripters are gone
(11 of 15) 73% of engineers are gone
(5 of 5) 100% of writers are gone
(13 of 16) 82% of leads/directors from these departments combined are gone

Yet MW3 will still sell shit loads on Consoles ^^

Wonder if Treyarch can finally push it up a level to make up for IW lack of staff :P

Not really, im not even buying the next COD tbh I'ts fun for online play and thats about it, but i have plenty of other COD games to play my mates on that are exactly the same WAW MW1 MW2 etc I don't want another overpriced game and over priced map packs where online will be over run by cheats, ill start playing MW2 online again when black-ops comes out because i know all the cheaters will plauge there.

I just wish more people played operation flashpoint online, that game is genius! and worth it

but the general public won't care. MW3 will still sell in the tens of millions

Only good thing is 5/5 writers left. Maybe they can make a better story, tired of evil russians. If people had balls, they would make china the enemy.

If they really had balls they would make the US the enemy ... no ?

Well, in MW2 they were. Kinda.

Kind of isn't good enough! :P

But seriously I thought the same thing as im_sneaky....

In all honesty that would be pretty suicidal for them to do that since most of the sales of COD come from America..
