Requesting a date for 1.2 is understandable but imo silly. EA actually offering dates up when they are not comfortable doing so is insanity. Stephen points out it is not their policy to release dates and this makes complete sense to me. Too bad this policy is either new or very poorly enforced. Most of my friends and I are upset by the inconsistency of the messages we have received concerning 1.2 release. That said - Stephen's message was well written, informative and considerate of the community. I applaud this forthright, honest communication. Keep up the good work.
