Infinity Ward is reemerging

So, if you've been listening to the gaming side of news, you know the most of the talent at Infinity Ward resigned or hopped on to the new Respawn Entertainment studio. Respawn Entertainment, this time not bound by the oppressive rulers called Activision, will finally be able to make a quality game without having talks about profits shoved down their throats.

But, Activision hasn't given up the fight yet. The rest of the people at Infinity (those who haven't been there from day one in 2002) are now being combined with a bunch of newcomers to save Infinity Ward. This is pretty much a totally new developer with the same name. They're making Modern Warfare 3 as well as other franchises.

Look at it this way. This developer Infinity Ward is now riddled with people who have only been involved with making games for a short while, like 3-4 years. They've never been in a leadership position, and now have no one to mentor them. This is a newbie company. Respawn has all the major talent from Infinity Ward and will be making good games, no doubt. Infinity Ward will ultimately fail with Activision's attempt to "get them to rise from the ashes". That in turn will make every Call of Duty game unbearable and the franchise will fail.

There's still that one percent chance that Infinity Ward will succeed, but that chance will still end up with a decent game. Only the most purest of luck will make Modern Warfare 3 an instant hit. That, or a lot of bribes (ahem, ahem, Activision).

So, let's see exactly how this unravels. Your money on Infinity Ward or Respawn Entertainment?
