DICE: Bad Company Multiplayer Maps "Certainly a Possibility" as Battlefield 3 DLC

AusGamers recently interviewed Battlefield 3 producer, Patrick Liu, and spoke about a number of things, including the potential for Bad Company series multiplayer maps arriving as part of Battlefield 3 DLC.

"Yeah, that’s certainly a possibility," he told AusGamers. "We don’t have anything planned right now, but we’ll see. We’ll get the community feedback and see what people want to play."

The rest of the interview also talks about including 1942's naval ships, co-op bots, PC dedicated server rental and more on potential LAN support.

bc maps?

meh

[Sub4Dis]

agreed. there is nothing special or memorable about the maps. just make new ones please. i already paid for the bc2 maps when i bought bc2. i don't wanna pay for them again cuz the developers don't wanna invest the time in creating new maps.

[malol]

HELL FRIKIN YAH !!!!
port Valdez is the shiiiiiiiiiiiiit !!!

beside
if it happens then im sure it'll be for free
just like when they gave us some of the first BC maps for free on BC2 (VIP players only tho)

[NewMonday]

I want:

Cold war
Isla inoccontes
Valapraiso
Arcia harbor
Port valdaz

Excuse the spelling :p

[CrimsonEngage]

Maybe not to PC players who never got to play Bad Company 1. It had the best maps ever. End of the Line, Par for the course... good times!

[MidnytRain]

You won't have to pay for them if you don't want to.

[Corax]

Would love to see what the Frostbite 2 engine would look like in the snow. Cold War for me if they don't create something new.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

LOL, of course its a possibility. It will cost them almost nothing and take less work and they can charge people again for maps that are already made.

[NewMonday]

They will still have to re-program them for the new engine like they did with the bad company 1 maps in BC2. And also adjust to accommodate gam play changes.

[FlashXIII]

How very call of duty like re-releasing old maps as part of DLC. Hope they don't plan on charging a lot for them. Be nice to see if EA stick to their guns (which they won't).. I'm pretty sure when BC2 came out, they were touting that they'd never charge for extra maps.

[gcolley]

How very call of duty??? haven't played BF before have you?

[Tachyon_Nova]

Agree with the guy above me.

BF2 had at least one map from 1942, 1943 literally was just remade 1942 maps. BC2 got a bunch of maps added from BC1 and BF3 back to karkand is maps from BF2.

[gcolley]

BC1 maps YES
BC2 maps whatever

[ddurand1]

Free?

[iamnsuperman]

No matter how great that would be do not count on it. They would need to be visually upgraded anyway which (for any company) warrants charging for. Gaming is like every other business. How much money can we get out of the consumer with putting less in (i.e. bigger profits)

OT I found the BC maps not that good. There was nothing there too remediable. However, they should do it from a business perspective

[BattleAxe]

Hmmm, BC1 maps as DLC on BC2, and now BF3?......lame

[ladybug7]

free then ok, but the maps are too crappy to pay for

[bumnut]

You forgot the fact that we have already paid for them, im not going to buy them again.

If its free I have no problem.

[BALLARD32]

I loved Oasis in BC1 but not so much in BC2. Release them for free and I don't think anyone would mind.

[zeksta]

Only maps from BC1-BC2 that we're good quality, I'd also like to see Arica Harbour re-created with bigger boundaries and more flags, that'd be a great map for conquest then.

[xCaptainAmazing]

Arica Harbour.

[SKUD]

Warlord and ghost town!!.

[Hufandpuf]

I think I'm the only person that knows what your talking about lol. Special Forces FTW!

[SKUD]

Seems like it. Lol. Brofist.jpg.

[EazyC]

Arica Harbour and Atacama Desert, por favor.

Comparison vids would be fun.

Also, on Arica, you could make it bigger (the highway etc.)

[leogets]

Meh. New maps please. Dont wana keep payin same old maps. I meant playin but that too

[EazyC]

Doesn't matter, DICE are a very kind bunch (the maps for BC2 were free, and great!), so you won't be disappointed anyhow.

I hope they're still free. I also hope for expansion packs a la BF2.

[AO1JMM]

I'm down...

especially if they are free.

[ECM0NEY]

even if free meh

[Hufandpuf]

BC1: Oasis
BC2: Arica Harbor, White Pass.
BF:MC: Backstab, Coldfront
BF2: Mutrrah City

[malol]

yah love those maps too

[retrofly]

how about some more WW2 BF1 maps, omaha anyone? Not had a decen beach map for ages!

[Sheikah]

I'm very much down with this :) I, for one, liked the bfbc2 maps. Arica Harbour and Atacama Desert among others would be sweet..

[PixL]

Give us Arica so we can bring the pain there again.

[majiebeast]

Put in some battlefield vietnam maps those are tons better then the bad company crap.

[swishersweets20031]

[OcularVision]

Arica Harbor would be a 'buy' from me.

[Coach_McGuirk]

too many choke points on the bad company maps.. give me wide open warfare
