Richard Farrelly
Biography
Farrelly studied Music at Vancouver Island University and graduated in 1993. In April 1998 he joined Team Evolve as a level designer, where his first work was on the company's unofficial expansion Quake II: Zaero. A month after its release he continued working at Team Evolve on their officially endorsed expansion for Battlezone; his work was praised by his colleagues as critical to The Red Odyssey's success.
After work on The Red Odyssey ceased, Farrelly moved on to Xatrix Entertainment in January 1999. He stayed with the company through its acquisition by Activision until it was merged into Treyarch, where he notably worked on all of the company's Call of Duty games prior to the Modern Warfare arc. In 2008 he moved to Electronic Arts' subsidiary Danger Close Games, where he worked on both modern Medal of Honor games. He left the studio until August 2012, and after ten months of freelance consultancy he joined Infinity Ward in May 2013.
