EA product manager Kevin Flynn defects, joins Call of Duty team

4.3
Kevin Flynn, who's worked for the last two years as a senior product manager for EA's UK arm, has left to join Activision's UK side as a senior brand manager on Call of Duty. Flynn's previous efforts for EA include launching Battlefield 3 and its subsequent Premium DLC campaigns in the region.

Flynn enlisted with the Call of Duty squad this month, which we imagine must be the busiest time to sign on for an Activision paycheck. With Call of Duty: Ghosts launching on November 5 and next week's next-generation engine reveal during the Xbox event on May 21, we just hope Mr. Flynn is finding adequate time for his lunch break every day. A hungry worker is not a happy worker!

Wow, I can see why he would do that, but EA is awesome. :)

Smart move by this guy. Probably will get paid more and puts out more record breaking games.

This game has real potential and I think might have as big of an impact, hell maybe even bigger than COD 4 did when they introduced ranks and create-a-class. Special ops groups have been in pretty much every CoD (even WaW, Carlson's Raiders were bad mofos IRL) and I think it's time they shift the focus to something more complex than traditional run n' gun. Stealth will be a big factor in the next game, so those of you who like Ghillies in the mist (like myself) will more than likely love this! Good choice Mr. Flynn.

Lol, this makes me laugh a bit. I guess he wanted to be with a product that breaks records almost every year. Can't really blame him. I hope he does well with Activision.

Hopefully this game is actually different from the past 8... simplicity is the key to brilliance.
