Return of the commander and, argh, artillery.

I wasn't happy when BF3 announced no commander mode but I definitely didn't miss getting blown up all the time so I'm hoping this time it will be better: getting blown up with more
style?
Happy to see it looks like squad size is improved? With comms again? It's so quiet these days. I get the feeling now that BF3 was an interrim game, that EA released it as a stepping stone until DICE could get everything done that they wanted.
I'd love to play this with you guys. It would be cool if PS, Xbox and PC could all play the same game on the same server but I guess that would be unfair on you console boys...
