The Infinity Ward team is getting smaller and smaller by the day as two more key developers has reportedly left the Call of Duty studio. Senior Animator Bruce Ferriz and Modern Warfare 2 lead designer Mackey McCandlish has quit the studio following the earlier departure of long-time programmer Jon Shiring.

Ferriz confirmed to IGN that he left the studio earlier this month and has now joined Santa Monica-based developer Big Red Button Entertainment while another long-time IW staffer, Mackey McCandlish, announced his departure via his Facebook account and simply tweeted:

Thanks idub, we had a great 8+ year run going there. Thanks for lunch everyone!

Infinity Ward department is basically dissolving with most of their talent leaving and only some staying. So all it becomes is a shell of the company it was before with the Call of Duty IP attached to it. And what's worth is the old infinity is not respawning since only West and Zampell are the only ones that seem to be in respawn while the old workers join different development studios.

If many more staff leave, I predict a merge of IW and Treyarch. This whole thing is interesting to see unfold. Good thing it hasn't fallen to the side of Activision.

# oh well no more MW3 — Guest 2010-04-14 06:04

at this rate no so treyarch will be making ALL the games from now on.

What's infinity minus 6?

# iKNOW !!! — Souljaboy56 2010-04-14 22:00

Infinity minus 6 = Activision(6f)
6 is just a random number, and f is for fucker. as in ACTIVISION IS FULL OF FUCKERS. So the Answer is -9 .
