Did you work on BF2 originally?
You mentioned you worked on patches, specifically which ones?
I thought DICE Canada was sacked (which consisted with the whole patch team for BF2). What team is doing 1.50?
1.40 was sponsored for Jalalabad and Intel sponsored Highway Tampa. Will this patch have any sponsorship?
How is the attitude to back-pedalling to changes made in earlier patches? For instance, in 1.2 the PKM was made overpowered but was toned down. Any possibility of seeing some changes made in previous patches revoked?
1.41 obviously wasn't finished, that crash bug wasn't meant to be the only fix. Mind to tell us what else was on the menu for that patch?
Last of all, I'm glad we're getting some feedback from the guys making it but I've got to ask where have guys like you been? Colin Clarke used to post on some forums to give a bit of feedback but since he's been devoted to 2142/Heroes all we've had are ill-informed moderators or outright speculation.

I have worked on Battlefield 2 since it was first being made but not in the job I am working in now.
I worked on all the Battlefield updates in some way, however doing what I'm doing now I worked on Battlefield 2142 1.40 onwards. DICE Canada wasn't sacked. Their studio was closed after EA bought DICE. The updates are now all done within DICE Sweden.
Regarding possible sponsorship similar to Intel and Highway Tampa that I can not comment on. Speaking of which, how did you all find Highway Tampa and Intel's sponsorship? Did you mind the Intel branding on crates and billboards or did they seem out of place etc?
Only issues which are known to be causing problems will be reverted or changed similar to pod surfing in BF2142. As you may know pod suring in BF2142 has changed a number of times from surfing, to not moving at all to having limited movement.
Colin isn't on BF2142, I'm working on both BF2 and BF2142 as well as other projects. Colin is now dedicated to Heroes.
Jonner was on here for a brief time but of course work gets busy and we get less time for forums and interacting with the community. However we do provide information to our community guys, so although it might look like we aren't here we are. For example I have been here and EA US forums under my normal account name instead of this one (not telling you what that is
) reading what people say and helping people with problems do a lot of people within DICE/EA.
Also responding to a previous question... Yes Highway Tampa will be included in 1.50 so that you don't have to download a seperate file.
