For me, I'm not buying, BF3 ruined what was a good series for me, was never really big on games but the BF series up until 2142 was awesome (for it's time), when I played BF3 it was just terrible, from jets bouncing off trees, rocks, buildings to the helicopters TV missiles hitting enemy aircraft and not doing any damage, just a puff of smoke and on occasion it'll make the helicopters tip over. Jumping over some boxes/objects makes you suicide, people running around in rooms where they can't be killed (like under maps/over maps) it was just a garbage game in terms of bugs/glitches imo.
What made BF2 great was the team work involved in winning a match, you had the perfect game, a commander who can communicate (via VOIP without a third party program) with squad leaders and squad mates who can communicate other squad mates, BF3 seemed to have no team work from what I've seen when I played, almost always I would be on one side of the map going around with one guy shoot and then a squad member would be at base sniper other snipers at their base and then another squad member on another side of the map mortaring - at the very least make VOIP opt in. The squad features were shit as well, the only thing you can basically do as a squad leader is to give 1 order, and that's to attack or defend a flag, but it's just too hard to see on that little diamond.
Building destruction was a let down as well, in the trailers it looked like it had a lot of destruction but in game there's really very little imo. You used to be able to make 'trenches' with C4 and then they took that out for some reason.
My biggest gripe is the bugs/glitches that happened constantly though, you fire a TV missile out of either the RU or US helicopter and often (at least once a game in my experience) make you suicide and then blow up the chopper - team mate included, that bug was reported in 2011, and just the last patch notes that I read, it was fixed - and that's only one glitch, there are just way too many bugs like that, that never got fixed.
That's because all of these companies (Activision for World of Warcraft and EA for Battlefield 3) are pushing their deadlines to over hype and release the games early - without even considering the Developers or Game testers thoughts on the bugs.
They don't give a flying fuck if the game is bugged, so long they make money off of pre-purchases and DLC's.
A friend of mine worked as a Game tester for EA, and he told them to get the fuck out, don't release games that aren't ready, and fucking listen to the developers and testers when they're telling them there are serious bugs. A few other people resigned with him.
These assholes are the reason behind games being overhyped and in the end; such donkey balls.
On topic; probably not Battlefield 4, they want to hype that some more before they release it. Probably a DLC pack for another 100Ā£ that you already spent on Premium and the game it self.
BF3's barely a year old, and already the next installment... EA's stopped dev for BF3 - this is EA just milking the franchises.
