BF4 I think is something to be really excited for, since the fact that Dice are releasing content in comparison to BF2's multiplayer. China Rising DLC, Commander mode; there's a lot to be had here.
The devs are probably taking the multiplayer to new heights. The season pass may be a stretch, but the exciting amount of content that could be released to the game might be the reason for adding such a thing.
I'm interested in how Dice will add BF4 to the eSports table. It may be a difficult task because it's one of the more competitive games when comparing to other FPS games that are also parting in eSports. Specifically, CoD.
