Battlefield: Bad Company 3 spotted on resume, already in development?

There's no denying that Battlefield 3 is currently the toast of the town. With 5 million units sold globally, developer DICE has every reason to kick back and enjoy the fruits of their labour. However, based on a small tidbit of info SystemLink has received, it looks quite possibly they've already started development of the third installment in their Bad Company series.

Hope so. Looking for a more humour single-player.

[Dante112]

Nice, I always enjoyed the Bad Company series.

[irepbtown]

I'm with you two on this one.
I loved BC and BC2. Got BF3 on saturday and the Multiplayer is unbelievable.

Hopefully they'll have Co-op and Campaign Co-Op, that would be nice.

Haggard: Shit, I gotta save me some cheerleaders!

What was that there top-secret project I worked on again? That game they told me never to mention in public. Ah yes. Battlefield: Bad Company 3. I go' put that game right there on my resumé. I be Swedish developer.

[Mohdunknown]

Oh come on. Why can't I have a Mirror's Edge 2?????

[PhantomT1412]

DICE's big enough to develop those two at same time. In fact, both Mirror's Edge and Bad Company were released in 2008.

If he was a play tester for "Bad Company 3" in 2011, that makes me doubt the validity of this.

I can almost guarantee that this is a mix up with Battlefield 3, because I don't believe that Bad Company 3 would be in any sort of play-testing state during the development of BF3.

[Optical_Matrix]

This.

[Laxman]

That.

[Cosmit]

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh

:P

[Shackdaddy836]

Eh. there's a small possibility that he could have played a very early alpha. I mean, DICE has a different team doing the BC series so they would have started right when BC2 finished...

[Pandamobile]

BF3 development was in full swing when BFBC2 finished.

I don't think DICE spread themselves that thin across two Battlefield titles.

And typically they don't do external playtesting for games until they're pretty far along.

[Hufandpuf]

Bad company again? No, I'd rather have mirrors edge 2 or bf2143.

[zeph94]

NO....NO....NO.....NO.....NO

Bad company does have a enjoyable campaign but battlefield should do what it does best, big ass battles. If they release BFBC3 anytime soon it sure would give off that call of duty smell. I don't see how they could make it and have it be too different multiplayer wise from BF3. I would much rather have BF2143.....hopefully with more flying vehicles then 2142

[gazgriff2k12]

would be a good to have bad company 3 as DLC for battlefield 3

[SJPFTW]

think they should combine the main battlefield series with bad company spin off. So it has the original 64 player multiplayer but with the humour filled single player of the BC series.

BF3 single player was okay but underwhelming. and i think a humour focus SP would differentiate it from Call of Duty more
