Infinity Ward sends a special message to ex-EA Chicago employees photo

Tippster kgetz3 sent us this screen grab (bigger version in the gallery) of the Message of the Day from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. As you may know, EA Chicago recently got shut down leaving 150 employees looking for a job. Most of the employees are getting moved around to different divisions of EA, but there's probably quite a few who are completely out of a job. Well, Infinity Ward is more than happy to get some new blood. I hope the ones that need the job played Call of Duty 4 today!

It's pretty cool of Infinity Ward to do this really. Although, it may not exactly be the best place to reach out to them.

Hahah. I can't tell if they're making fun or if they're extending a helping hand to those going through rough times. Either way, it's cool of them.

Of course they're serious. EA Chicago had some great talent, and EVERYONE is playing Call of Duty 4. Except me.

Most of the employees at Infinity Ward were former EA employees themselves...I'll bet they know a lot of the former EA Chicago staff anyway.

I'm sure if they're serious then that's not the only way they're reaching out. They probably actually only did it on the MOTD to show how cool they are for offering, I hope they're serious and can pick up some new talent from it. :)

I saw this last night while i was playing and lol'd. I couldn't tell if it was serious or a joke. Even if they were serious, I feel it was kinda dick.
