No, he wasn't. Jonathan Heckley was the lead MP designer on Judgment. Quinn was just a designer. Quinn had as much input as Creative Director Cliff Bleszinski. Which was barely anything. The overall game designer was Oliver Barder, the original was Adrian Chmielarz before he left (Much of his ideas stayed though, also his vision for multiplayer).
Meh, this witchhunt is really terribly conceived. Pointing fingers for the sake of pointing fingers.
Er, okay. Dunno where this all comes from but that's not entirely accurate.
I should know this as I'm Ollie Barder.
Anyway, Johnny was the MP lead at PCF but he worked with Epic primarily. The MP balancing was pretty much handled by Epic. Much of this involved Quinn.
Most of the broad MP balancing was Quinn's baby though. The shotguns especially were very much "him".
PCF worked on the original Overrun but that got shifted over to Epic just before I joined. Though we did a lot of the DLC after that, though by that time Johnny had left and I had to help out a bit (mostly on Breakthrough).
The real "lead" designer on the game was pretty much Arcade Berg at PCF, with oversight from Epic (lots of video conference calls). Whilst we all worked on it, the game was really their baby. Arcade is now working on the new Wolfenstein.
As for me, I did all manner of fire-fighting and system design fixes (stuff almost no-one here will notice most likely). I was credited a as senior as that was my job title, nothing more than that I am afraid.
I was originally hired to work on PCF's next big game after Judgment, as they needed a senior designer with experience, but the owners left a month after I joined so that kinda got fucked.
Had fun at PCF though, they were all good creative guys.
Currently rocking it in Japan in case anyone is wondering...
