The mass exodus of employees at the troubled Call of Duty studio continues as three more staffers have reportedly left the studio. According to G4TV, lead character artist Joel Emslie along with artists Ryan Lastimosa and Brad Allen are the latest castaways from Infinity Ward. All three ex-employees however did not announced their future development plans.



On a similar note, former IW senior software engineer Chris Lambert and designer Brent McLeod has formally joined their former bosses, Vince Zampella and Jason West, over at the newly reformed Electronic Arts-backed studio, Respawn Entertainment.

I'm glad this is happening, when you don't make addon's to your games that make sense then you don't need to be in the gaming industry. Stimulus package is a complete joke, plus there's so many online hacks to these games. CRAP ON A STICK!

I think they should rename their company Recover. This is getting out of control, they are losing so many talented people and yet still have the balls to say that they are fine. Whats that about? Its obvious your aren't fine so STFU and treat your people right!

When compared to FPS gameplay, to Activision this is like playing a "domination" game and finding out that the teammates that are killed end up "Respawning" on the enemy team lol.

Usually I'm suspicious of both sides in something like this (What did the company do? What were the employees doing?), but when Activision said that they won't get their bonuses if they leave, then it struck me.. Something obviously was more important to them than the bonuses, so something must have been up at Activision.. Why would they turn down assumingly huge bonuses?

# Think this was Activisions plan all along?Guest 2010-04-27 12:19
Anyone think that they're just biding their time and holding out until EVERYBODY leaves so they can "re-distribute" funds into their own coffers?
