More Infinity Ward veterans move on

Did they jump or were they pushed?

Two more key staff members have said goodbye to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward.

As spotted by Kotaku, lead designer Todd Alderman and lead software engineer Francesco Gigliotti recently updated their LinkedIn profiles to suggest they have left IW. Alderman had been with the company for eight years, while Gigliotti was there for seven.

The profiles don't say whether the pair resigned or were made redundant, although Kotaku quotes "a source close to the studio" as saying it was their choice to quit.

The news comes just a month after Infinity Ward bosses Jason West and Vince Zampella were sacked by overlords Activision. Coinkydink?
