Why I believe Spark has Battlefront 3

First I would like to say please forgive any mistakes to my grammar or punctuation because I am in a hurry. Before I posted my original prediction that battlefront 3 is at spark I made sure I was at least 60% sure they had it. Here is the link.

The way I became 60 % sure was through a facebook message to John Butrovich, the lead designer to spark games. I asked whether or not they are working on a Turning Point sequel because I assumed they would say they can't comment on their game. But to my surprise he was completely honest in the way he responded to me here is a screenshot. And you might find something interesting.

As you can see he answers my Turning Point question honestly by saying no. What is odd is that when others have asked about battlefront 3 he says he can't comment. Also notice that suggested a star wars game and he responded by saying "But based on what you said you'd like I think you're gonna like this game. " I will address later in this post. So I decided to ask him again via email the other day and this is what I got.

On this one he just said he can't reply. Why could he tell me there is no turning point 2 but couldn't answer something about battlefront 3? If asked I them if they are making something crazy like god of war 4 they would say no but why not for battlefront 3? Also in my first screenshot I mentioned star wars, star trek, and i believe predators. Now he clearly say its one of them by saying " based on what you'd like to see..." I now want you to name a game within predators or star trek that fits the job listing description. Chances are you won't think of one. Another thing I want to point out is that he says "unfortunately all I can only give you a canned response " This made it sounded like he was disappointed and he wanted to tell me the truth. Also he also mentioned Lucasarts by name which i wouldn't look into so much but I still found it odd. Also he told Nitro it would be announced between "March through June" which is the same exact time Comic-con 2011 is, which is exactly the same event he said they would announce their next game. I appreciate this guy's honesty in his replies though. What do you guys think about this?

To say a bit more, too bad you didn't just say you Star Wars instead of the other options. Maybe even mention the Battlefield series as that way you don't sound like your saying, is it BFIII? but rather a star wars game that is similar to Battlefield? You may have got something more out of him :?:

Or maybe, he could have said something like asking for any three clues as to what they are developing, and even if the only gave you one, others would surely give more. Then you sit down in the thinking chair...

Thats a good idea but i didn't want to trick the guy. But it would seem better if alot people just kept asking them because they would eventually say something.

If they are the developer, I wouldn't expect him to use the word "Battlefront" in any context, for fear of violating the NDA. Also, he says "...we can't divulge nor hint at what's going on here." If the title is BFIII, then he overstepped hinting (by strides) in the body of his message.

You have to remember he is talking to someone through email, I'm sure he didn't give much thought to it. And like I said I didn't do this to start speculation or to trick the guy. I did this to try to show in my perspective why I believe they have it, that's all.

Does anybody realise that by saying 'comic con '11' is the date of announcement, makes the unannounced project an even more suspect of being Battlefront 3? Comic con... Star Wars?

Ha ha I dint mean it as a troll.. I meant the that the guy who wrote the message put "star wars, predator or star trek". What if the guy saying "base on your preference youll like the game..." means he is designing a predator game or star trek. Sorry if it came out like I was trolling. Trust me I want BATTLEFRONT 3 TO COME OUT ALREADY!
