    BFBC3 would be the dream, but only if it has a decent campaign. Otherwise, I don't really care as long as the MP is good.

    Ahead of the news of the announcement I was talking to people recently about the possibility of Bad Company 3. I think in previous interviews DICE had said they were never quite sure what it was people liked so much about the Bad Company games, as in specifically why those over the regular BF series. Suggesting that if they knew specifically what it was people wanted, they'd focus on that aspect within a new game. Here's one such article.

    I'd seen that over the last year on the Facebook page there was the odd screenshot or comment pertaining to Bad Company 2. It seems they wanted to keep people aware of the Bad Company branding at least.

    Personally I prefer Battlefield 3 and 4 to Bad Company 2. I merely found Bad Company 2 'ok' but I'd not played much of previous BF games at the time and the 360 game was really tainted by glitching and everyone wanting to be a sniper. As someone that didn't play with a regular group of friends it just wasn't fun to play. I also couldn't give a toss about the campaign and didn't like nor see the point of the team, Body; Doyle; Tiger; The Jewellery Man or whatever the hell their names were? But I guess some people loved all that.

    That said, I'd be interested in any new Battlefield as long as it wasn't another Hardline.

    Despite really enjoying BF3 and 4 (played 10 days worth of the BF4 mp) I still have fondest memories of Bad Company 2... but I couldn't really tell you why. There were some aspects that, even if the next game isn't a Bad Company title, they should definitely re-introduce from BC. Namely, fully-destructive environments (I remember one area in particular in BC2 that started as a nice little town but by the end of the match it was nearly always completely flattened), the objective in Rush being subject to damage so the attackers have more options to take it and more differentiated classes.

    If this reveal is for Bad Company 3 I will be very excited, if it's just for Battlefield 5... I'll still be excited!

    Is there any possibility of it being 2143? A couple years ago I was expecting it to come at some point, but now they have Battlefront I kind of doubt it.

    @rudedudejude Of all the possibilities, it's this I fear the most. I love a Sci-Fi movie / book but for some reason, I can't get invested in SCi-Fi shooters. Destiny made a decent go of it, but for me, it eventually fell flat.

    I think part of it, for me, is the blank page. They could do virtually anything, with regards to guns, locations, ammunition, vehicles etc. But I can't relate to running around 'Future City One' shooting my laser blaster. Of course, if it works, none of that matters and I guess that's the challenge.

    I think with BattleFront being a thing and that DICE seem to revel in making 'real' worlds in video games, they'll not do Future warfare. Too much extrapolation from existing and not enough 'lets go and shoot some guns and record the sounds'

    It's going to be DICEd to shit and basically unplayable for at least a year after release so I wouldn't bother getting excited yet.

    I'm hearing alternate time line WW1 rumors. Can't see it. I can't see DICE doing anything 'other worldly' with the Battlefield name attached.

    It'll either be a straight up BF3, BF4, BF5 story arc or and this is mental talk really, it'll be 'Battlefield' - a 3 year project to rival Destiny with 5 Themed DLC. The core (the first 6-8 months) will be WW1. The 2nd will be WW2. 3rd = BFBC3. 4th a BF5 arc. 5th BF2143. Cloud cuckoo...

    I want BC3 but I did really enjoy Titanfall. But yeah, Battlefield is more about realism and squad tactics and vehicles. They don't need a hook or an angle, and if anything it seems like people would be sick of futuristic bollocks now.

    Just make BC3. If they want to fuck about maybe instead of different maps have different eras, so a rotation of Vietnam, WW2, Modern. But with all the building destructability, small fast paced levels - maybe keep it at 32 players - and none of that jet shit.

    I wonder if it's all linked to this?

    The aircraft in BF1942 were great. Best of the series IMHO.

    @Tryhard
    BC is essentially a separate sub-franchise within BF. They don't mix.

    I think it will be conflicts across different eras...WW1/WW2/Modern/Future

    No way they would do JUST WW2, even though i'd fucking love that.

    Maybe in campaign, but that would not work in MP. Would be too much work and balancing.

    2142 wasn't that bad in terms of "futurism". It didn't have much, if any, in the way of the nonsense COD has pulled out. It still had the same core gameplay, but some interesting additions like the flying bases and whatnot.

    I wouldn't mind a 2143 frankly.

    Of course the other theory right now is dinosaurs, which um, sure?

    Something like Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.

    I think a WW1 setting makes sense, then at least they can move forwards again, not mad into a sci fi setting for battlefield. Though that picture looks ace.

    Pretty much.

    Walkers instead of tanks. Moving home bases rather than out of bounds bases. Some other bits.

    Edit: I hope it isn't WW1. In terms of warfare, and how that can be turned into a game, there really wasn't that much at the time.

    Attacking a large mech with a biplane.

    It could melt the internet.

    I think we're going to be seeing WWI but a focus on the more experimental warfare going on then. So in the game (and campaign) we'll have:
    -Bi/Triplane fights against the Red Baron. They'll have machine guns and hand-thrown grenades.
    - Early tanks that can bridge over the trenches. They'll be incredibly hard to put down but not do as much damage and be slower to fire than what we're used to
    - machine gun placements - wouldn't really be wwI without that, I don't think we'll be running around with automatic weapons though, making these more important.
    - Tunnels and mines - I think this could be the big new exciting feature. Terrain deformation as seen in Red Faction 1 - we can dig underneath the enemy position and carry huge explosives, then destroy their trenches.
