The other part of the puzzle is that GameSpot started running a Command & Conquer retrospective yesterday. Those multi-day retrospective features they do around a series or franchise seem to always lead into the announcement of a new game in the series. So my guess is that they'll end up with some sort of exclusive announcement or details on C&C4 in the relatively near future.
You might also remember that an online survey went around recently talking about "MMORPG like player progression" and other persistent features for the next Command & Conquer game. So EA certainly seems to have C&C on the brain at the moment, even if all that MMO-type stuff sounds sort of crazy. I don't know, even if it's taking an entirely different direction, C&C3 is still only a couple of years old. When that game was announced, I was all excited about the return of Kane and the return of the C&C franchise. But considering we've seen C&C3, C&C Red Alert 3, and an expansion for each over the last couple of years, it feels like it's a little soon to be announcing yet another game.
