Fairly certain that the guys working on new maps, the guys working on new game modes, and the guys working on new weapons aren't all the same people. Getting one thing isn't necessarily coming at the expense of others, so to say "stop working on that and start working on this" is somewhat silly. It'd be like going to a restaurant and telling the waiter to stop seating new people because some tables haven't got their food yet. They're not the ones responsible for cooking, so it's illogical to tell them to stop doing their job until the chefs finish.

Resources are resources. If someone is building mechanics for new weapons they could be building mechanics for new gameplay options. If there's no dishes to clean the dishwasher can bus some tables. We have enough equipment, help work on something else or fix the stuff that's broken before adding more.

Its all about specialization, its not nearly as simple as putting someone on a different project.

Resources are resources, but taking someone off the project they've been working on, getting them up to speed on what you're doing, and finding something for them to actually do once they're there can just as easily be more trouble than it's worth. There comes a point where additional manpower doesn't actually help anything--- Too many cooks spoil the broth and all (I'm hungry, leave me alone.) To me, it's better to keep everyone on the projects they're working on, getting new content as it's completed, rather than say "OK, all you guys who were working on that new Ambush map? We're doing a new game mode, so join the team that was designing the maps for it instead." Shuffle people around after their current jobs have been completed, if you must, but don't say "stop working on this and start on that instead."

Agreed! Yes they all fall under the broad catagory of "Resources", but it's not logical to yell at the waiter to get in the kitchen when it's not his job nor will he be good at it.
