DICE Quashes Hopes of Battlefield: Bad Company 3

DICE has crushed any hopes of a new Battlefield: Bad Company game beneath its cold, giant military boots.

With the studio currently focused on creating Battlefield 4, some fans have been enquiring about the status of the Bad Company sub-series and asking whether we should expect another entry. But the news isn’t great.

"We love the Bad Company series, but don't have it in active development," tweeted Battlefield’s official Twitter account. "Battlefield 4 is our main focus for the year."

It’s not the first time DICE has expressed its love for the Battlefield spin-off, while shooting down any hopes of another sequel. Last year Community Manager Ian Tornay said there were no plans for the game but, "I can tell you that it's not due to any lack of love for BC inside of DICE. Everyone I've talked to there is very proud and fond of it."

Still though, all the evidence points to the fact that DICE is indeed working on Mirror’s Edge 2, so we can’t have it all.

  • maybe after ME2 they will do BC3, if they see the fans want it and the studio enjoys it as well, all we can do is wait, maybe ps4 release in 2016?
  • Much rather see BFBC3 than BF4... though we'll probably see BF6 before BFBC3.
  • Sad news :( Playing BFBC2: Vietnam pack as we speak. Its an amazing series
  • I love the BF & BFBC series. BFBC has a great set of characters. IMO, Dice should have released a BFBC 3 before they did BF 4. BF 3 just came out almost 2 years ago. BFBC 3 came out 4 years ago. Fingers crossed that we see a BFBC 3!
  • BFBC 3 came out 3 years ago*
  • battlefield 3 came out a long time ago. and yes i refuse to believe that the battlefield bad company series is different to the battlefield series seeing as the only difference between call of duty and battlefield is the name.
  • aw I'm not worried about it Bf3 was awesome online, but the singleplayer felt like a COD story, pretty shitty story but with the great battlefield gameplay. The Bad Company games on the other hand always had a story I really liked (definitly the first one:P), so I just hope that after Bf4 and ME2, they will sit down to think about their next project and then go for BCC3:)
  • I mean BBC3 ofcourse:P
  • Ah, oh well. If we've got Battlefield 4, Mirror's Edge 2 and, potentially, Star Wars: Battlefront III coming from them soon, then we have noting to complain about. Plus, BF4 looks bloody epic. ;)
  • Whoops. I said "noting" instead of "nothing." Apologies. XD
  • @5 You mean BFBC2 right?
  • Booooooooooooooooo!!!!
  • All hope is crushed on BFBC3 because it is not in ACTIVE development? Yes, they're focusing on ther games, but that does not mean that it isn't planned.
  • If they do release BC3 they should do a special offer say give you 1 & 2 with all DLC as a special BC Kiss Ass Pack of something and possibly fix a few issues with the BC2 online mode.
  • BFBC & BFBC2 was fun. Thats something you dont see everyday.
  • bad company 2 is better than battlefield 3 in every way.
  • Considering how a good number of people in the community are asking about Bad Company 3, DICE would be irresponsible to ignore it.
  • its only on hold because bf3 had such a big pc/ps3 player base and EA are using that series to go head to head with coD, Bad company was just an amazing game that was good at what it was yet didnt have the numbers EA demands to churn out every year, vietnam was and probably always will be my favourite expansion of all time and im so gutted the numbers are none existent (hope the bring it to bf but long shot i guess)fucking ea
  • Well that sucks
  • Didn't really get into the Bad Company games but I really enjoyed BF3.
  • Everyone saying BC is better is referring to the story mode right? I love BC online but BF3 is about 100 times better with online play then BC was and Vietnam is the best dlc I have purchased for any game to date.
  • Last I heard they were just putting out feelers to hire staff for the game, not actually making it yet.
  • I miss bc.......
  • Sad news, personally I thought BFBC2 was far better than BF3, it was just so much more fun. And the Vietnam add-on was immense!
