Some sad news out of Infinity Ward this week. Creative Strategist and Community Manager Robert Bowling has turned his letter of resignation in with the company.
Bowling was better known as @fourzerotwo on twitter, and you may recognize him as the tall skinny guy hyping up the Modern Warfare games in videos. He’s best known for being a great resource for giving gamers insight into Call of Duty and its changes on twitter and on forums. He was one of the very few people in the game industry that actually took the time to respond to fan questions/comments, and it gave fans a unique means to voice their opinion on the games that most other developers do not offer.
Bowling was one of the last surviving members of the original Infinity Ward team, as he was one of the few to stay on after the infamous mass exodus of West and Zampella after Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
There’s no word yet on what fourzerotwo will be doing next, whether that be joining the ex-Infinity Ward guys at Respawn Entertainment or heading off to do something else.
There has also been no word on a replacement for his position, though we can only hope one is found quickly and that they are as engaging to the community as he was.
