I learnt something in
this thread of the official forum today, which in itself surprised me, but what surprised me even more was the revelation that Kane's Wrath wasn't actually developed by the C&C team at EALA!
It was in fact outsourced to a company called
BreakAway Ltd!
EA hasn't had a great track record with outsourcing game development; The First Decade was outsourced to Barking Lizards Technologies who are responsible for introducing the plethora of bugs into what should have been a simple compilation.
Perhaps this outsourcing is the root of the desync problems that are (hopefully) about to be fixed, 3 months after release?
