All the way back in 2011, DICE said that they hadn’t killed the Bad Company sub-series, and implied that a Bad Company 3 wasn’t out of the question.Ī year later, DICE once again expressed their love for the Bad Company games, and said that though they had nothing to announce, they would be foolish to kill off a brand that good.
As infrequent and intermittent as they are, they do, every now and then, talk about Bad Company, and the possibility of going back to it some day (maybe). It’s not like DICE have roundly ignored that particular brand over the years.
With the current direction it is headed in, and given how long it’s been since we heard even a peep about the Bad Company sub-series, is there any possibility at all that DICE will ever make a Battlefield: Bad Company 3?
With both Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5, the series made very clear statements- that historical fiction is what it wants to be focusing on right now, and that it wants to go back to the grounded and realistic tone that older games in the series used to have. Other games in the series have also tried to have a more story-centric Hollywood style approach – such as Battlefield Hardline – but it’s fair to say that it wasn’t nearly as accomplished at what they tried to do as Bad Company 1 and 2 were.īoth of them – especially Bad Company 2 – stood out because of how different they were from what one usually expects a Battlefield game to be like, and yet both of them managed to retain most of the franchise’s key strengths.īut it’s been ten years since Bad Company 2 came out, and Battlefield has gone back to doing what it did best.
But the Bad Company games are very different. The Battlefield brand is generally associated with a very particular kind of atmosphere- gritty, authentic, with not much thought given to being flashy or bombastic or pulpy in any way.
