Infinity Ward has lost another key employee today, as programmer Jon Shiring announced his resignation.
Shiring announced he was leaving the Modern Warfare developer on Twitter today, saying "After almost 6 years at Infinity Ward, I resigned today. I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished and I'm going to miss everyone."
Shiring has been at Infinity Ward since June 2004, serving as programmer on Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2. His personal website also shows that he worked at Namco Hometek prior to its closure.
Infinity Ward's two founders announced a new studio, Respawn Entertainment, this morning. Two additional key figures left the company earlier this month.
It is unclear if Shiring's resignation is related to the formation of Respawn. 1UP has reached out to Shiring for clarification, and will update this story if any new information becomes available.

Update: Shiring has responded to our inquiry, saying he has "no announcements" other than the resignation itself. We'd like to take this opportunity to wish him the best of luck in his next move, whatever it may be.
