The firing of Infinity Ward's founding members is still a matter of some controversy, and while the Activision-owned studio is still soldiering on, more members are falling by the wayside. Todd Alderman, lead designer and a man with heavy influence on Modern Warfare's multiplayer and narrative, left the company last week alongside Francesco Gigliotti.
The two men had been with Infinity Ward for eight and seven years respectively, and their leaving the studio just a month after the firing of Vince Zampella and Jason West is going to look shady no matter how coincidental the situation may be. Whether this is all related or not, Infinity Ward has just lost two men who were an important part of making Modern Warfare what it was. That's a simple fact.
With Activision still embroiled in a bitter legal tussle with the former studio bosses, it doesn't look like the bad blood will be going away anytime soon.

sadly nobody is irreplaceable I think... It might hamper the evolution of the series, but hopefully with their credentials they'll be able to build something new somewhere else quite soon :-)
original call of duty devs leaving activision, franchise handed off to new guys, gee I wonder what happens next -_-
Maybe it's time to start working on that soap opera I had in mind...
the same thing that has been happening since the very first Cod, you mean?
YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH.
Seriously I have a feeling that your right.
MW3 is going downhill.
Why is all of this happening to Infinity Ward?...
btw, didn't you mean developerS?
Their first album was the best everything since then has been so sellout.pshh
Engrish, si.
An over hyped, short, linear, mostly non-human controlled action, forgettable, pile of steamy shit?
I have a feeling that they will and that they could probably make something, maybe not as big as MW2, but a big and new title at least.
=D
They could re release doom and call it mw3 and people would buy it in their millions.
btw I still can't believe the whole "action/adventure" cod thing, its laughable really.
There are gonna be consequences to this. Waiting to see what they are.
Awesome copy edit on the headline Jim!
oh if he is responsible for the broken MW2 MP then im glad he's out of the company
I believe this video best illustrates the situation at Infinity Ward. No offense to the bunny.
