I'm curious to see BF as well, looking forward to the beta. The new Gears looks awesome as well. I played the beta and it runs really well with a cool mix of run and gun and cover mechanics, not to mention dedicated servers.
The new BF will have dedicated servers and I'm looking forward to how that will turn out. If it's good, I'm hoping that will be standard on all big budget FPS games on the console. With peer to peer hosting, the quality of your connection changes so much. You can connect to a host with a good connection, then half way through the game someone in their house starts streaming a netflix movie, their sister starts downloading some torrents, etc, and the whole game goes to shit. I've noticed that more and more in the past year and I assume it's because of Netflix and other streaming. A few years back, if you got a good host, it would stay good. That's no longer the case.
