You know why I don't have any faith in a Bad Company 3?

DICE themselves, in 2014, ADMITTED they did not know how Bad Company 2 turned out to be so special.

I want Bad Company 3 as much as the next guy, but after the borefests of BF3/4/1 and the Battlefronts, I've given up hope on anything that modern-day DICE gets involved with.

All this combined, makes me think that I'm better off putting the BC series into memory. Even if Bad Company 3 did come out, what hope is there in the game if the developer themselves can't even pinpoint what made Bad Company 2 special in the first place? Man, not much.

As far as SP goes I still prefer BC1, but I didn't play enough of 2's multiplayer to say which was better overall.

Sorry to hijack but was 2's campaign as good as the original?

Not really, it did away with the open-level design in favor of linear environments and setpieces. The humor also wasn't as much a focus but was still there, especially in idle conversations between the squaddies.

I still enjoyed it quite a bit, though, it's far better than the crap in BF3/4.

I have Battlefield 1 still installed. I don't think I put more than 4 hours into that game. Worth getting into? Is the SP actually worth it? I tried once and stopped on the first plane mission.

What made it special was they they concentrated on rush and designed the maps around that mode. It sucked for those who prefer conquest but damn if it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Campaign in BC2 was a huge downgrade but even then it was much better than later BF games.

I agree with you OP though, I am not getting hyped nor will I care until they prove themselves. I also won't touch it if any micro transactions is in the game.

The original had a goofy (I liked it) plot set in very open maps, the sequel was all COD-like and serious, in much more linear maps for the most part.

People don't talk about how awesome BFBC2 is because of the campaign though, it's all about the multiplayer.

It's more serious than the original, but it's still funny and has its own identity



It's not like the mainline BF campaigns that came afterwards and are super serious like CoD's campaigns. The Bad Company crew is still hands down the best cast in a military-style FPS.

What if the new battlefield is Bad Company 3. Imagine..... a battle royal with bad company levels of destruction.

Ah yes, I always enjoy threads with clickbait titles and vague "DICE themselves said" with no links to said quotes or evidence.
