Rumor: Battlefield 2018 to Be Battlefield: Bad Company 3

mp1st:
While Battlefield 1 just had its latest expansion, Turning Tides, released today, franchise fans (like me) are already looking forward to what Battlefield 2018 will be.

Well, if this recent video is anything to go by, it’ll be none other than Battlefield: Bad Company 3! This info is courtesy of AlmightyDaq, who also leaked a ton of Battlefield 1 info that turned out to be legit.

Majin-vegeta2327d ago

Oh hell yea.No doubt hes right

NewMonday2327d ago

this better be Bad Company in gameplay also not just name, this means destructibility, gadgets, vehicle controls, weapon balance, class roles

Majin-vegeta2326d ago

Destruction will be toned down I can guarantee that much.

JaguarEvolved2326d ago

If true I'll be buying it first day of release.

DARK_WOLF2326d ago

You cant guarantee eff all m8

CorndogBurglar2326d ago

Bad Company 2 was the best BF game of all time. If they are able to capture that again this will be awesome!

Unfortunately I'm not holding my breath. I expect this to be just the name.

Forn2326d ago

How quickly people forgive EA and their disease. Smh.

zackeroniii2326d ago

isnt that every battlefield game?

bloop2326d ago

I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for any mp game EA are involved with after BF:II

UltraNova2326d ago

Oh God will they destroy the Bad Company name with a new type of MTs?

Monster_Tard2325d ago

Hopefully. I hadn't played a Bad Company game until BC2 was given away on the Xbox 360 through GWG and I found the gameplay was so much better than the other Battlefeild games, I quickly dropped BF4 and started playing it instead.

The only Battlefield I ever liked.

(and 1943 for 360)

ClanPsi12326d ago

BC1 was great, too. BC2 was so amazing because it built on BC1 in every way, unlike sequels nowadays where they usually ruin what made the previous installment so good.

gangsta_red2326d ago

Seriously, this game was ridiculously fun. I remember playing the campaign for a little bit and then I tried the mp and I was forever hooked.

Love the smaller maps and the destruction. I hope this rumor is true.

UltraNova2326d ago

Smaller maps with the current MP mode structure and player numbers will not work. A model that works and its fun in BF1. But if full level destructibility requires smaller levels then they can scale things down a bit and adjust objectives accordingly.

ClanPsi12326d ago

@UltraNova I can't imagine the size of the map has anything to do with the viability of good destruction. Some BC2 maps were pretty huge and they ran fine with near-full destruction on last-gen consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel2327d ago

Please don't mess up EA keep your hands far away from this.

ChasterMief2326d ago

You can bet there will be microtransactions and loot boxes.

Notellin2326d ago

100%. Your prediction is the most certain rumor of this entire article and comment section.

mafiahajeri2326d ago

Bad Company got me into the BF series. So this is good news.

ClanPsi12326d ago (Edited 2326d ago )

Me, too. And then Battlefield 3 got me to leave the series forever. Dice should buy it's freedom from EA so they can start making good games again.

The_KELRaTH2326d ago

BF1942, BF1943, BFBC series were all about fun whereas BF3 onwards seems to be about realism over fun

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.

isarai1529d ago

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

Nitrowolf21529d 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

Parasyte1529d ago

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

excaliburps1529d ago

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

RememberThe3571529d ago

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

AnubisG1529d 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.

cloganart1529d ago

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

Silly gameAr1529d ago

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

talllpine1529d 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.

TheSplooge2184d ago

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

mcstorm2184d ago

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

ssmilloy362184d 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

NewMonday2184d 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!*

joab7772184d ago

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 2184d 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.

3-4-52184d ago

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

r3f1cul2184d 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

Antnee5342185d ago

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

DogJosha2184d 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...

DogJosha2184d 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.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2185d ago

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

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2184d 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

UltraNova2184d 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).

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2184d ago

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

CorndogBurglar2184d ago

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

Leave Battlefield alone.

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ2184d 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?

Rippcity2184d 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.

keys15792317d ago

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

darthv722316d 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.

keys15792316d ago

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