Here's what was said back in April, by BioWare's Ray Muzyka:

We have a completely new system to handle transitions between areas that speeds the load times and turns the loads themselves into part of the game experience. It's one of many points of feedback we've heard and directly responded to in enhancing the gameplay in Mass Effect 2.

Now here's what was said on Friday, by BioWare's Thomas R. Roy:

The elevators were made in ME1 so we didn't have to show boring loading screens. However there were a lot of complaints, so we've gone back to loading screens and movies. We still have elevators in ME2, but you don't wait inside them. We'll cut to a loading screen instead. [emphasis added]

We've tried to make the loading screen more interesting this time by adding interesting visuals and information.

The elevator conversations had some funny moments, but hopefully people will enjoy this new system better than the old one!

[Atreides]

a loading screen with gameplay tips? HOW INNOVATIVE!

[Qalbert]

pretty much

Damnit, I wanted my elevator extranet reports about how fucking awesome I am.

[meeeeeep]

Damnit, I wanted my elevator extranet reports about how fucking awesome I am.

And my Garrus vs Wrex conversations D: How I loved those :/

I actually liked the elevators, it beats the hell out of a loading screen.

[Eliseos]

I thought the elevator loading screens were clever in ME1

[Kuya]

Actually, i would have preferred that more stuff happen more frequently in the elevators than a loading screen.

[Akucaen]

If they just could've shortened the elevator transitions or had more conversations that was fine as is. I'm not really bitching about the change, just that was my annoyance with ME1.

[Kuya]

It was the lack of variety in the elevator rides or the ones where nothing happened that made it suck after a while.

[Akucaen]

I nearly always had Wrex & Garrus on my team. I think out of all the transitions they had maybe 4 or 5 conversations? I know the others in different combinations would produce more, obviously, but they got really boring really fast when it was just silence.
