Ya know what would rock? If this guy left IW after making CoD games for years, to go make a rogue-like bullet hell shmup point and click adventure turn based strategy 8 bit Android mobile game on a Kickstarter budget.
That'd be sweet.

I jest. He will be missed. Because the MW3 hit-detection sucks ass!
I jest. He will find better work at EA with the rest of his former team members.
I jest. He burned that bridge a long time ago when he decided to take the money and stayed with Infinity Ward.
So the final rat has left the sinking ship, eh? ;D
=)
I bet you didn't play the single player campaign in MW3.
I didn't myself, but at least i'm not saying it wasn't a good game.

Would it be too easy a joke to say, he is doing a bad job if he was the creative director of the call of duty games?
Hmm I'm related way back to Robert E. Lee and Robert Bowling was a name shortly after in my family tree. Interesting.
Infinity Ward died years ago when everybody else left to form Respawn
i guess only original member of IW is the janitor left now

I used to really like CoD, but it's gotten real stale.
Battlefield, however, continues to amaze me, and I'm real glad I purchased BF3.

I was honestly surprised when he stayed on after IW-gate. He's a nice guy, and he seems genuinely invested in what the fans think. Hopefully, he lands on his feet somewhere spectacular. Like Insomniac or something.
*Shrug* If the jump in quality between MW2 and MW3 proved anything, it's that the new talent at IW is what's moving the studio forward. At the very least, I respect him for not breaching his legally binding contract like all the other fucks ups who coordinated with EA and eventually left to form a studio with them.
Also, I find it fucking hilarious how much hate Activision still gets to this day, even though EA and Ubisoft are clearly fucking this industry in the ass right now, not Acti-Bliz.

Someone had to go down for the Mass Effect 3 debacle. Resigned, my foot. This guy got fired.
Wait, what are we talking about?

Talent? The guy used to be the Community Relations Manager. A glorified forum admin(no offense <3) and when the actual developers left to form Respawn Entertainment, he the money that was being withheld from Vince Zampella and Jason West and became "Creative Strategist."
What is a creative strategist? "An outline of what message should be conveyed, to whom, and with what tone. This provides the guiding principles for copywriters and art directors who are assigned to develop the advertisement. Within the context of that assignment, any ad that is then created should conform to that strategy."
So he takes the advertising orders from higher ups and gives them to the lower lifeforms. The guy was simply the "community face" of Call of Duty, nothing more.
Also, caulks.

So, how long will it be before Infinity Ward folds? No reason to keep them around now, they were only still there because of brand recognition and to finish MW3.
I'm still waiting for that inevitable "Infinity Ward shuts down" news. Gotta be happening sooner than later.

You do realise that being part of the Call Of Duty Franchise makes him effectively worse than satan right?.

Whatever this guy did, he managed to help launch a game into record breaking sales. He deserves a pat on the back.
Love all the haters.
Forget about the fact that Bowling is more accomplished in his chosen field than anyone who posts on this forum will ever be, forget about the fact that he's got enough money to purchase most of you and your families, forget about the fact that he was the creative director for the greatest selling video game of all time...
He worked on CoD so the haters come out and do the only thing they're actually good at: hate on someone better than them.

Honestly I couldn't care less.. The games really aren't one singular persons work, not when they're this mass produced and the credits for them run 10 minutes longer then that of a big budget movie, no matter who's "the industry face" for them.
Good for him for leaving, as it sounds like he did so on his own accord and in sound mind, and I wish him well, but I expect the same COD game everyone played last year to be on the shelves this year.. and next year.. and the year after.
