With the game being a disaster and new figures coming in to franchise, is their possibility production could move to Bad Company 3 with gritty soldier outfits, and better destruction and most wanted features etc?
Interesting article from last year asking why they seem to have a bizarre refusal to make BC3 https://gamerant.com/battlefield-bad-company-3-cancelled-leaks/
I liked BC2:Vietnam and always hoped that they would go with that conflict for another full game, but it will never happen.
I doubt we will see another Bad Company, that seemed a bit like a stop gap game they threw out there for some money whilst working on something else, cant see them doing that going forward because the model these days seems to be to release a full price unfinished game and then milk it for all its worth for 4 years.
IIRC the whole Bad Company spin-off was a way to fund and develop the Frostbite engine. Making a new engine from the ground-up has to be incredibly expensive and time-consuming, so they decided to make some money back by selling what was essentially a tech-demo. I also seem to remember BF purists moaning about the jokey nature, changing up of roles, and not being able to go prone, but ultimately it was fun to play so they fell quiet.
Now, when development of BF2042 began in 2018, it started with an update to the Frostbite engine. And a few years later we have a shooter with jokey characters in and changed up player roles that the BF purists do not like.
Are you sure you are not already playing BC3? :D
Jokes aside I do not think we'll see another Bad Company game, but we'll have to see what Mr. Zampella has planned.
@Tank2042ManBeat me to it!
@FG44141 Running around with a bright red beret on was 'gritty'!? And let's not forget the bizarre Russian 'Ghillie' suit, all those triangles......
I also recall the Bad Companies being panned by the PC crowd for being 'dumbed down' for console.
They were also as much about the campaign as MP, capturing that humour again will be almost impossible as the only people who could make BC3 are the people that made BC & BC2 and that ain't going to happen anytime soon.
