In a post on Reddit highlighted by CVG , Battlefield 3 community manager Crash explains that DICE are still keen to support Battlefield beyond the release of Battlefield 4. "There are several teams at DICE," he explains. "Starting work on Battlefield 4 does not mean that we will be abandoning Battlefield 3 or working any less hard to bring you the best expansions we can."

Crash also mentions that there will be other ways to get into next year's Battlefield 4 beta, for those who don't want to pre-order Medal of Honor: Warfighter. "At this time, however, it is the only way to guarantee entry."

The post also highlights a few important points that the development team have received from community feedback, including better VOIP, the battle recorder, a spectator mode and "more robust eSports support."

For many Battlefield fans it feels too soon for a sequel. Crash addresses this as well, saying "it's worth noting that DICE has released a Battlefield game every two years or sooner AND Mirror's Edge at least every two years. I truly believe that we're in one of the best positions to be creating our next title."

"Frostbite 2 has matured, we've been gathering fan feedback like crazy, Battlefield 3 continues to expand with features which we can learn from, and we've got more data about how people play than ever."
