Infinity Ward to Close??

News | April 29, 2010 7:34 am

Analysts predict Activision will close Inifinity War in the near future; possibly after the 2nd Map Pack for MW2.

From IGN:

While the future of developer Infinity Ward remains unknown, one analyst believes Activision will close the studio in the near future. Analyst Mike Hickey of Janco Partners says in his latest report to investors Activision will shut down the studio after the release of the second Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 map pack.

"Continued defections from their Infinity Ward studio have created meaningful uncertainty around the future of their Call of Duty: Modern Warfare franchise," Hickey wrote. "A reported 26 developers have left the studio behind, with an original studio size of roughly 100. It was revealed yesterday that 38 Infinity Ward employees filed a lawsuit against Activision over royalties and alleges that they were held 'hostage'."

"We expect Infinity Ward studio will be essentially closed after their next map pack release, with development work on Modern Warfare 3 spread between two studios not historically tied to the franchise," he added.

Activision is set to reveal its first quarter 2010 results next Thursday, May 6.

So how do the Modern Warfare fans think about it?

Yeah, that's a great idea guys. Close the one that makes the GOOD COD games.

Half the people that worked on MW or MW2 are probably gone, so really closing down IW makes sense. Not like MW3 would have been something spectacular.

What Mudkip said.

Activision shouldn't be able to fire Bungie employees since Bungie remains independent whereas Activision owned Infinity Ward.

Shut the Fuck Up! Colonel Caribou this is the second time in as many months that you have came on and only post negative derogatory comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I want to give you some advice. Just because you can say it doesn't mean you should say it.

For first time I have to turn on my profanity sensor because of you. I can't open any forum up without you cussing. In every post. Thanks for ruining XBA in the since that my kids walk by and see your 10 year old potty mouth in every thread.

And i'm entitled to my opinion just as much as everyone else. My opinion is that Treyarch takes it up the asshole. If you disagree, then that's your opinion.

B'aww swearing, that's why the fucking filter is there, use it and shut up. If you dislike me so much, ignore me, it's not that fucking hard.
