EA president confirms (sort of) Battlefield 4

Electronic Arts president Frank Gibeau has caused a stir when during a keynote speech at the University of Southern California, he commented that "there is going to be a Battlefield 4."


The statement caused a Twitter frenzy at the "confirmation" of Battlefield 4. However, Electronic Arts soon released a statement that read, "Frank was speaking broadly about the Battlefield brand - a brand that EA is deeply passionate about and a fan community that EA is committed to."

It might have been premature to invoke Battlefield 4, since the Battlefield 3 was just released two weeks ago, but it's more or less an eventuality, since the latter was the fastest selling Electronic Arts game in the company's history.

It certainly is causing a stir on the Battlelog Forums. Many are calling for "Battlefield 2143 II", while most just would like to see more Expansions (maps, vehicles, weapons) for "BF 3" (like the old 'booster packs').
I really wish EA/Dice weren't trying to go head-to-head with Activision and their venerable franchise. I'm afraid they just cannot win the race.
Then there is also "MoH 2" to promote and sell.
