Community Manager of Battlefront 3?

Some comments have been made for this on the newest post, but it looked big enough that it could have its own topic.

A twitter acount popped up on August 14 with the name 'Doug Koestler' claming to be a Community Manager and Primary Source Directory for Battlefront 3. He has made 2 very interesting comments, one saying a new trailer for the game will be shown on Spike TV on September 25 at 8:00 EST. He also said that the game will be released on the PC, 360, and PS3 sometime in 2012. Although looking proffesional, I think it could be a fake because
1. The avatar is a cross between the Battlefront 2 cover and a fan-made Battlefront 3 ink-mark.
2. All posts were made on August 14. If he was an employee of LucasArts or Spark, he would've posted a lot more than he has.

Maybe it's not a fake. :?: But then I agree with the fan made logo.

If this was real LA would have him fired and executed by now for leaking this info. At the very least the Twitter feed would be gone.

It is fake.

Does Doug Koestler even work at LucasArts?

He could work for LA, Spark, or really anybody. For all we know, he might not even be a real person.

Look at who he is following. It doesn't tell us whether or not this is legitimate, but I find it kind of amusing, especially the R2 one. :lol:

Yeah, there's nothing that points to any affiliation to Lucas Arts or any game publisher and he's done nothing new since the 14th.

Probably a hoax.

He just posted more and yanked the post on the unveiling of it on Spike TV, claiming he was "forced to take it down." He also says he is just primary source directory now. Interesting...
