The next Modern Warfare 2 map pack may very well be Infinity Ward’s last release. One analyst predicts that the studio will be “essentially closed” after that.

 

“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,” says Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey.

 

Hickey attributed the prediction to the “meaningful uncertainty” cast upon Infinity Ward after the spate of defections and resignations from the studio. Just recently, ex- and current Infinity Ward employees have also filed a case against parent company Activision for breach of contract and unpaid royalties, among other things.
