Activision re-hires Titanfall defector to direct Call of Duty’s multiplayer
Following the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West were unceremoniously ousted from the company for ‘breaches of contract and insubordination’, (what the BBC would call a fracas). What followed was a mass exodus of what was seen as Infinity Ward’s core talent, the majority of which joined West and Zampella’s new venture, Respawn Entertainment, who went on to launch the successful Titanfall with EA backing.
At least one of those early defectors has now returned to Infinity Ward. Todd Aldermann is now Infinity Ward’s multiplayer project director after spending time with Respawn, League of Legends’ dev Riot Games and his own studio Scary Mostro.
