EA responds to Battlefield 4 Commander Mode rumors

Earlier today, promotional material for Battlefield 4 seemed to indicate the return of Commander Mode. While we had a feeling the material from GameStop was unofficial, an EA representative has confirmed our suspicions.

"These documents are not official Battlefield 4 marketing materials," an EA spokesperson told GameZone. The publisher didn't go so far as to deny the rumors, however, leaving us to believe that there could be some validity in what the material revealed. After all, the information posted was supposedly direct "from EA." 

"We appreciate fan enthusiasm, especially fans throughout the retail channel," EA concluded. Other features mentioned in the GameStop material included three playable multiplayer factions — China, Russia, and the United States — as well as a $10 value for Battlefield 4's expansion.

I suppose it'll all remain speculation for the time being. Battlefield 4 is due out in fall 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
