I remember playing the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 back in the day after I rented it from Blockbuster. That game was an incredible experience.
Thank you to Vince Zampella and everyone else who worked on that game for those memories.
Rest in peace
Titanfall 2 was spectacular, and BF6 is easily the best entry in the franchise in the past decade+. Apex Legends is great too.
RIP.
Absolutely awful to hear.
His games were a significant part of my teenagehood, as I'm sure they were for many others. Thank you for all the memories Vince.
Very unfortunate. Thank you for the wonderful moments. You created so many.
Call Of Duty II was one of those games I will never forget in my life - it was like reading Lord Of The Rings.
I was like whoa, he was on BOTH the tentpole military-simulator-aspirant FPS franchises? That's like George Lucas being called over to work on Star Trek.
The world lost a titan. No pun intended.
Thanks for COD: MW2 (2009), Vince. The game of my childhood. Rest in Peace.

Road surface and consequently traction can vary (for example, gravel). It's important to stay well within margin. Once you lose traction at speed, it can be hard to get it back.
TL;DR take it to the track, where the road surface is well maintained.
Wow! So sad, what a terrible way to go.
“Game designer legend dies recklessly driving and killing his passenger”
The real headline that doesn’t wash the reality here.
RIP Vince. Whether you're a fan of FPS titles or not, the work of him and his teams have undoubtly helped to shape pop culture in some sense. One of my favourite games as a teenager (Battlefield: Bad Company 2) was arguably a reaction to his work (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2) so in that sense, Vince played some small part in making me who I am today, even if I'd never thought about it before
