What One Former Infinity Ward Employee Thinks Of Ex-CEO Vince Zampella

After the fallout that resulted in Respawn Entertainment, Infinity Ward needs some new recruits. Despite the recent troubles, it's a developer Activision apparently intends to stick by and restaff. Here's what's available at Infinity Ward and what it might tell us about their next Call of Duty.

  • Associate Producer
  • Executive Assistant
  • Senior Animator
  • Senior Effects Artist
  • Senior Environmental Artist
  • Senior Game Designer
  • Senior Software Engineer
  • Systems Administrator

Those are the nine advertised positions for Infinity Ward at the moment, though there's also a call for resumes from "passionate, motivated, and experienced individuals across all disciplines, at every level." The jobs do not tell us very much about the future of Infinity Ward that we don't already know.

"Do you want to be a Designer on some of the best selling and most critically acclaimed shooters of all time?"

"You thrive on creating the minute-to-minute firefights, action sequences and holy-s**t moments that keep gamers coming back for more."

"Infinity Ward, developer of numerous award winning games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, is seeking a Senior Animator with experience in game development and an interest in working with next-generation technologies."

"Infinity Ward is looking for an experienced Senior Effects Artist responsible for creating special effects for our next title."

"The ideal candidate will have at least 3+ years experience in an environment artist role having demonstrated the ability to create realistic and visually compelling environments."

"You must have experience in shipping a PS3 or X360 game."

What does say about the next Call of Duty? Pretty much nothing, except to expect more action. Given how deep the departures were at Infinity Ward, it's no surprise the jobs aren't saying much.

    Personally, I hope Infinty Ward loses the rights to the Call of Duty Franchise and Respawn Entertainment picks it up.

    My friend graduating from college and got a job at Infinity Ward. He moved to California from Ohio and they started him at $100,000/yr salary. Not too shabby of a gig. His job title is Lead Story Design. He makes 6 figures, lives in Cali, and designs video games for a living. The life, right?

    Wrong, Dude wants to come home everytime I talk to him. $100,000 is garbage in Cali. He lives with 3 others in a crappy apartment. He works 60 hour weeks and who knows how the "walk out" effecting him.

    My advice. Play games. Dont make them. Making them will make you hate them.

    If we want to pay you that is, we might as well fire you before we have to pay you.

    "Warning: game comes with an overbearing game publisher CEO who will ruin your life, make you smoke 10 packs a day from the stress and generally you will lead an unhappy life.

    The position pays phenomenally well though."

    wow, i'm not sure I'll buy IW's next game without trying a demo or at least renting it first. That list pretty much confirms that the most important talent has left.

    hey a job is a job and if I'm getting paid to work on video games I wouldn't care who hired me even if it is backstabbing Infinity Ward lol. With the way our economy is right now you can't really complain who hires your.
