Ughhh....Bad Company 2 was so awesome, i would MUCH prefer a Bad Company 3 over a numbered BF game.

But it's EA we are talking about here.....'whatever teats are the fullest' is their philosophy.

Ive had enough of serious dude-bro shooters, gimme more humour and a campaign that doesn't imitate a Michael Bay movie.

zeal0us3798d ago (Edited 3798d ago )

It won't be long before EA ruin the BF series and its the spitting image of CoD. It will probably be a while before we see another Bad Company game.

NarooN3798d ago

To me, I still enjoy BC2 more than BF3 and BF4. I don't care what anyone says -- not only was the MP more fun to me, but the Campaign was actually GOOD. Can't say the same for BF3 and BF4. They're too serious for their own good.

Fil1013798d ago

Well said buddy I couldn't have put it any better. Bfbc2 might not have had the graphical shine that bf3& 4 have but to me was alot more fun alot more destruction a btr variation of maps and the Vietnam dlc was class.

Vladplaya3798d ago

BC2 had its problems, but it was incredible fun. I can't enjoy BF3/4, they simply don't feel right.

spicelicka3798d ago

yea i really enjoyed the campaign, it was unique in military shooters and not as linear as the newer battlefield games.

toddybad3798d ago

So you'd MUCH prefer a Bad Company numbered game over a BF numbered game?
Why not a completely new IP?

EA - killing creativity since 19**

GarrusVakarian3798d ago

We aren't talking about new IP's here, just the Battlefield games.

And yes, i would MUCH prefer a Bad Company 3 ;)

Kleptic3798d ago (Edited 3798d ago )

^but...what if they called it BF5...but it had more BC type stuff in it (better sp, less serious, etc.)?...

does it really matter? 99% of BF buyers do it for multi-player...and while console centric gamers scream about wanting another BC spin off...the PC crowd bitches endlessly that they don't...

My opinion...do both...and leave them seperate...give the PC community the 64 player insanity its meant to have...and give the consoles a completely different console BF game (which is exactly what BC was designed to be from the beginning)...

I think that'll work a lot better than this 5 platform mash up of BF4 currently...I'm loving BF4, but can't deny DICE was spread pretty thin trying to get on all the different systems...

BFBC3 please! or BF2143!

Stupid corporate thinking. Extremely disconnected from the consumer who actually put you into business, much like our Government.

Battlefield always felt refreshing somehow because it had many types of warfare (ww2,vietnam,sci-fi,modern day)and bad company games had personality with a less realistic tone kinda like call of duty games and i liked that to be honest.

If they make a Bad Company 3 please dont add a prone position that just kills the whole concept, the bad company games are supposed to feel more straight forward towards the action and less about tactics.

e-p-ayeaH3798d ago (Edited 3798d ago )

lmao 9 disagrees and 0 replys that´s wonderfull dare to explain?

Evil_Abed3798d ago

We don't agree with you. /end explanation.

ATiElite3797d ago

your post makes sense to me and I agree with it.

You must be a PC gamer and they just hate you....welcome to the club.

Hicken3797d ago

... or maybe they just don't agree.

Who cares what platform he plays on?

BC 2 was the best Battlefield created. It was amazing.

Drithe3798d ago

BF 4, on the ps4, is a disgrace. I will never buy another BF game.

Should the Next Battlefield Game Be Bad Company 3?

MP1st - Should the next Battlefield game be Bad Company 3? MP1st weighs in on whether this is a good or bad thing or if a Bad Company 2 remaster would be better.

isarai1519d ago

I would say hell yeah, but im not confident in modern DICE's ability to recreate what made the bad company series good.

Nitrowolf21519d ago

This is how I feel. I'd love a new one, but deep down I know itll be bad or not on par with the originals

Parasyte1519d ago

Especially since they said in the past they have no idea why Bad Company was as successful and loved as it was.

excaliburps1519d ago

Yep. I remember this. Exactly. I figure this would make more harm than good.

RememberThe3571519d ago

Agreed but I wouldn't be mad at a BC2 remaster.

AnubisG1519d ago

Yes, it should be if they can creat a good story like they did in the first two and a good multiplayer and leave their SJW politics out of it.

cloganart1519d ago

Every time you type SJW, an angel cries...

Silly gameAr1519d ago

I'd be happy if it was Battlefield 3. Kill all of that Live junk, and just go back to the basics.

talllpine1519d ago

After 1 year of b4, there was 32 maps... after a little after 1 year of BFV there are 20 maps. Live is nice because everyone can play all the content together but there is considerably a lot less of it. I think battlefield has lost it's way and IF it comes out with another hit game it will be an accident.

Report - Battlefield 2018 is Battlefield Bad Company 3

PowerUp! - "A DICE developer claims that Battlefield 2018 is Battlefield Bad Company 3. Could it be true? It certainly seems possible."

BF is always a day one buy for me.

TheSplooge2175d ago

Most definitely! Its pretty much the only worthwhile shooter these days.

mcstorm2174d ago

I f#####g hope so wanted bfbc3 for so long now. BF1 was great but could do with a bad company now.

ssmilloy362174d ago

not after the 3 month long launch issues where I couldn't ever play. f that. I'm one of the pushers to end duty and go bf but after bf3 4 fiascos. never day one

NewMonday2174d ago

they must bring back the Bad Company quirks and not just make it Battlefield 5 with a different name.

Oh oh and loot boxes! Don't forget the loot boxes! *Burst out of a lootbox in an explosion of confetti!*

I’ve been waiting forever for BC3.

And it’s CRAZY that I’m a year that CoD abandons single player, DICE chooses to go back to its best sp material. The first two were amazing semi-open world, vehicle laden journeys, filled with the funniest mf’s imaginable.

I can’t wait. Finally, a great single player.

Araragifeels 2174d ago

Battlefield Bad Company is the reason that I started to play Battlefield games overall. I used to play BC2 more than any other COD. And I played for 3 years straight. After Battlefield 3, I lost my love for Battlefield. Hopefully BC3 is true because I will truly pre order the game.

3-4-52174d ago

Regardless of what it is, I'm buying it day one. I loved BF1.

r3f1cul2174d ago

forget that ... i love BF im max level in every single one (not lying, sadly lol ) but i will never buy a game day one, or even month one nowadays... ESPECIALLY a BF game ... BF normally takes 3-4 months before its actually playable above aggravation and pure brokenness ... but after that first 3 months Bf does become the best shooter on the market that year IMO ... but buying day one just seems silly to me, you are paying the most a game will ever be for teh worst it will ever be O.o food for thought

Antnee5342175d ago

Yeah i call bs, and even if it was they would screw it up imo.

DogJosha2175d ago

Well it wouldn't have shrubbery to hide in plus sniper scopes will have those 10,000 lumen "scopes" giving away your position so it will definitely be ruined for me. I miss BC2...

DogJosha2174d ago

So a gun that requires precision and accuracy is not earning a kill while spray and pray is earning it? Sounds to me like someone is jealous.

Really and truly though they should give snipers away after making a shot, not before. That and have whatever effect disappear with distance that way you have a reason to keep moving.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2175d ago

I really hope so, if its WW2, no buy!

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2175d ago

Well, If its modern I will be happy! Kind of burned out after BF1 and COD WW2, plus looking forward to how DICE does Battle Royale since they are PUBG's biggest threat imo

UltraNova2175d ago

If Dice is left to their own devices to work on a BR mode without getting "influenced" by EA's suits it will be the best BR game out there by far. But we all know it wont go that smoothly for them. We'll just have to see in a few months.

As for BF games...yeah its my FPS fix, day one(provided MTs/loot boxes are cosmetic).

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2174d ago

Look at the downvotes lol Im guessing people don't like BR?

CorndogBurglar2174d ago

I don't think its necessarily that people dislike BR. But keep that shut out of Battlefield.

Leave Battlefield alone.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2174d ago

What? Dude I have over 300 hours each in BC2, BF3 and BF4! I was Lvl 50 in BC2, 100 Col in BF3 and 140col in BF4. Battlefield is my favorite shooter of all time, but after getting hooked on PUBG, BR is a new exciting game mode and Battlefield could easily do better than Blue Hole first try. Whats wrong with adding a new game mode?

Rippcity2174d ago

I'm with yah @GUTZ. What's wrong with Battlefield doing BR? Honestly out of all the big popular shooters, I think Battlefield is the only one that BR mode actually would fit in well. No harm if they have additional game modes. You can always choose not to play it if you would rather play PUBG or Fortnite. Never bad having more options imo.

I think games should be shown 1 year from their projected release date.However, sometimes I like the company's teasing us a little. Microsoft PR post E3 2017, may have benefited from the company announcing some titles slated for late 2018 or even 2019. That is assuming MS has several non-"big 3 titles" that aren't announced.

keys15792307d ago

Thank you for the feedback, I'll be sure to read this on the podcast.

darthv722307d ago

I understand the need for 'teasers' but too many times there have been teaser announcements that end up being canceled for reasons such as funding or studios losing development staff or just... the publisher didnt like how it was progressing.

They do these announcements to show the fans they have stuff coming but it really sucks when they announce stuff years ahead of when they should. Personally it should be 2 years prior to release is when they announce new project and then the following year they can showcase actual game play that people will be able to play as it gets closer to release. The projects could be in development for 3, 4 or 5+ years but don't announce anything until 2 years from release.

I think that is how Sony is doing it. Horizon had been in development for several years but wasnt announced until a couple years before release.

keys15792306d ago

Thanks I will make sure I. Read your response on the next podcast.
