It appears that Call of Duty Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward may be falling into disarray.

Following the resignation/firing of studio founders Vincent Zampella and Jason West several months ago the Activision owned studio has endured a number of walk outs. The most recent of these include lead designer Mackey McCandlish and Call of Duty series programmer Jon Shiring, only a week after two high ranking developers also chose to leave.

“After almost 6 years at Infinity Ward, I resigned today,” revealed Shiring who added that “I’m incredibly proud of everything we accomplished and I’m going to miss everyone.”

Naturally the recent announcement that Zampella and West are setting up a new studio has given way to rumours surrounding the resignations.

In the meantime however Activision has filed a counter suit against Zampella and West claiming that the two “morphed from valued, responsible executives into insubordinate and self-serving schemers who attempted to hijack Activision’s assets for their own personal gain.”
