Such as? Lets see, here's what I can com up with.
1) Sufficent interest in the game? Check.
2) Still selling new copies at full retail price. Based on pricing and shelf location i have seen, id have to say: Check.
3) Continued revenue from Ranked Servers? Check.
4) Common codebase with a currently supported game? i.e. does dice still have people on staff that know the code. Check.
5) A new game coming out that will make them forget about BF2? Negatory. (The only reason I did not buy 2142 was the way BF2 was handled. I personally will not buy another dice-made game unless something good happens with bf2)
6) Can the code and/or balance issues be fixed for a reasonable amount of money? I dunno. Depends on the labor laws in Sweeded, i imagine.
Sentience, we all would like to hear what the issues are that make the patching question such a difficult decision. If there is a good reason, then I'm sure most people would understand and be more patient. Thats not too much to ask, is it?

As Community Manager for DICE there's nothing I currently want to see more as it's unquestionably the #1 request for Battlefield right now. As such, I'm doing what I can to try and make it happen but nothing is guaranteed yet.

My bad. I thought instiginata was the new community manager.

In short, we definitely still hear you, we're doing what we can here to make things happen, however until things are certain it's not possible to call either way. We realise it's a frustrating wait, however as soon as we have a definite answer, so will you guys.

Who.... Who is in charge of making this decision?
Johan Näsman? Marcus Nilsson? Could you ask them to pop in here and give us the scoop?
