zauii, you don't have to work there to use your mind.
Let's see some facts:
1) SoW was announced back in 2005
2) OM was often saying that release was as close as to 1 year in all these years
3) Suddenly IS came back to Moscow from California and that's when we started listening to real development news.
4) Game is released unfinished.
Now add these:
1) IS (and anyone) would not move from one side of the world to the other for a simple salary
2) OM likes perfection and release version of CoD is far from an even finished game (not to mention perfect)
3) OM already hinted that he's out of the "game"
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, not even Gregory House, to get to similar conclusions as mine
