[bf1942] Hotfix release time upgraded from 'soon' to 'not far off'

[Jon Wolberg]

I'm assuming yes.  I got a build of the Linux ranked server so there's no reason they would not make a unranked Linux build.

        No, no, no!!  Not at EA they won't!
        They fire guys like him at EA because "They don't fit in with the culture"...

        In their defense, as a software professional myself, I can tell you that
        they are just trying to not lie about it.   If you ever give a customer an
        estimated date, they always treat it as a promised delivery date, so it's
        better, when possible, to be vague.


        I am a software developer as well and we always give customers a firm date.
        Being vague may give you wiggle room but it also sends the message that you
        don't have a firm grasp on either the situation or your ability to deal with
        it effectively.  The potential problem is not missing a deadline as much as
        it is not communicating effectively with the client.  If a deadline is not
        going to be met, the trick is to contact the client ahead of time to let
        them know.  Too often people wait until the deadline is past before
        commenting on the status of a given job.  That's what makes people upset.
        There is simply no substitute for clear and precise communication between
        involved parties.  It's too bad that those in charge of BF2 have yet to
        learn this lesson.
