Het ziet er naar uit dat de leegloop bij Infinity Ward niet meer te stoppen is, want volgens de website Kotaku zijn ook Jon Shiring en Mackey McCandlish opgestapt. Hiermee ziet het er naar uit dat Modern Warefare 3 nog wel eens heel anders kan gaan worden dan de twee voorgaande delen.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward is a little bit smaller today, as two more longtime employees have left the embattled studio. Veteran programmer Jon Shiring and designer Mackey McCandlish have parted ways with the home of Modern Warfare.

Shiring announced his resignation from the Encino-based Infinity Ward via Twitter, as spotted by 1UP, saying "After almost 6 years at Infinity Ward, I resigned today. I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished and I'm going to miss everyone." He follows fired co-founders Jason West and Vince Zampella-now leading Respawn Entertainment, and recently departed lead designer Todd Alderman and lead software engineer Francesco Gigliotti.

Shiring worked at Infinity Ward for five years, 11 months, according to his LinkedIn profile, departing the same day that Zampella and West announced their new studio backed by Electronic Arts, Call of Duty publisher Activision's chief rival.
