Battlefield 4 will contain three playable factions and the return of Commander Mode, if video evidence is to be believed. A YouTube user visited their local GameStop and caught footage of some rough-looking signage that makes those claims.

Luger700 posted the footage of the signs, which includes stuff we knew (Frostbite 3 destruction, vehicles) and a few other details, including three factions (Russia, China, the U.S.), and the return of Battlefield 2's Commander mode. In that mode, one player managed the battle from above – dropping supplies, ordering troop placement, and controlling artillery strikes. According to the video, one of the clerks secured the info "direct from EA."

I personally enjoyed the commander mode in bf2. It gave some advantage against camping snipers who could be easily spotted by the commander. Now they should also get rid of scope reflex

I used to love dropping crates on enemies heads, fun stuff, oh and using a tank and commander mode to figure out where your shells were hitting, you could snipe across the map
